***edit about the house price as I forgot to say that in the video and quite a few people were confused. The entire house (with a small plot of land next to it) costs $500 per month. It's not my part of the rent, it is the full cost per month*** Greetings from Dalat! Recording this video was refreshing, something very different (and even new) compared to what I filmed before. Thank you all for being with me 🙏 More videos are coming from Asia and Dalat in particular! Meanwhile check out my Patreon if you feel like showing some extra support www.patreon.com/nikiproshin

Hi Niki, I haven't seen you for a while.

[@NikiProshin]

@@walterdo9614 welcome back!

[@bethybarlow2888]

@@NikiProshin I know this is a strange question.. are there a lot of bugs and snakes there? By the way.. welcoming back!!

[@tuananhtranhuu]

There are bugs but not too much Snakes are delicious so they seldom have chance to appear at the living area, but in jungle and raising farm there are a lot

[@NikiProshin]

@@bethybarlow2888 there are quite a few bugs and insects around! snakes might show up but I haven't seen them around yet

[@sklegg]

When I was a kid (1980s), we viewed Vietnam as a destroyed country where people would do anything to get out. Seeing how it looks today is a miracle.

[@brianwoods9552]

Your Canadian roommate is articulate and hilarious. You should have him on as a recurring guest!

He's great at talking in a hilarious way :)

The Dalat tourism board should pay you money for advertising it to us westerners and making us want to visit!

[@Me-lm2ky]

Nik, you are living in paradise. What is better than to wake up to peace and quiet, while being so close to the big city with all you need. If you are tire of the mountain, it is only a short ride on a bus down the mountain to the beach city Na Trang. You made a fantastic choice to live where you do.

[@NikiProshin]

It's a lovely place indeed!

[@andreasmartin7942]

Cities might be a bit loud though

[@VienNguyen-tp5rf]

When you live without depend on money. Everywhere is paradise. Look at local peoples. It's not paradise to them.

[@Me-lm2ky]

@@VienNguyen-tp5rf So true, thank you for reminding me that there are people who are living nearby with money problems. It must be a living hell for them people without money. Still, it is not my problem nor is it Nikki's problem. He is just living a modest life style similar to the locals. He is not showing off his money by driving a new car or eating at the expensive restaurants. He is eating the local street foods and only pay a lot of money for a few of the imported food items that he needs to eat. There are poor people all over the world and there will always be poor people all over the world.

[@PodieM18]

Oh Niki so nice to see you,we were all worried about you since you haven't posted much lately....

[@LeeKirkman88]

I live in the UK but my father helped home a lot of Vietnamese families here in the early 80's so i grew up around vietnamese people and vietnamese food etc. Its a Lovely place great people.

[@NikiProshin]

Agree, I love both Vietnamese food and people (and coffee!)

[@AnthonyAndrews0128]

I remember those. Rightly or wrongly, (I was a child) I knew of them as Vietnamese Boat People.

[@PortsladeBySea]

A friend went on a guided tour of Vietnam in 1981 with a group of journalists and academics. It had been organised in conjunction with The Times newspaper. He loved the country and could not believe how friendly and welcoming the people were, which surprised him after what the Vietnamese people had suffered during the dreadful Vietnam war 🇻🇳🕊️☮️

Niki is living his best life in Vietnam. I'm glad to see him so relaxed and carefree, keeping good company. I've seen a few travelogs made in Vietnam and they have been a revelation as to just how beautiful a country it is. Nice to see the chilled Niki 😊

[@styx814]

Visited Dalat in 2019. Lovely town, great weather, good outdoor options. Very liveable

Greeting from Nevada (USA). Good to see you again so soon. You seem grounded and happy. Keep it up!

[@David-bb5if]

Just commented on your last video too--but as someone who hadn't heard of Dalat, thank you for sharing it! I will finally be traveling abroad next year and planned to visit Vietnam but really don't enjoy the heat and humidity. The cooler weather there sounds perfect. Glad to see you back Niki!

[@NikiProshin]

You gotta have a great adventure! Thank you :)

Very comfortable weather in Dalat. Reminds me of San Francisco weather .

[@nordicpaul13]

Niki, That has got to be one of the best videos you have ever posted! I enjoyed watching it. 👍 Vietnam looks amazing! Time has flown by, it seems like only yesterday when you were in Georgia and you met-up with Roman and Natasha.

[@NikiProshin]

Thank you!

[@thailandsnippets901]

I love Delat as it's nice and cool, a lot of nice plants (love it when the Jacaranda trees are in flower) and laid back style. My favorite city in VN.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Good to see you again! I haven't watched your videos for quite some time, as I have been following Konstantin daily with his news about Russia. I would love to see more videos of Dalat and specifically of street food. I am a foodie and always like what KZbin vloggers discover food wise that is unknown in England.

[@jeffbreezee]

I love the motorbike culture there and it seems that the climate is suitable for it!

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

Love this video! Even if I didn’t subscribe to you, this is something I would have watched because I love learning about new cities. I’ve only heard Da Lat by name but knew nothing other than it was up in the mountains. What a great introduction and if I were to stay in Vietnam for more than a month, this might be my number one choice. I can’t deal with the hot humid tropical weather and Da Lat is mild weather, beautiful scenery from the mountains, and big enough city to have lots of things to do. I would venture to Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City for the occasional weekend stay or longer.

[@davidsixtwo]

Glad to have you back!

Dalat is nice. The weather is more like European since so high. The mosquitos are larger and you even hear them. Plenty of stuff to do and enjoy. Escape the extreme heat of lower sea level citys. Mountains areas are thou source of dengue fever.

I think the insect sound that you've heard is the cicadas. They are VERY loud here

Wow! I guess Vietnam is a different place from when my uncle was stationed there 55 years ago. I'd like to visit Vietnam.

[@FriedEgg101]

I'm so jealous lol. I spent a couple of weeks in vietnam in 2007. I really want to go back, but I can't travel alone. I've not been to dalat. I spent a week in the north, around hanoi and cat ba, and a week in the south. I preferred the climate in hanoi to ho chi minh. Hanoi felt like south of france, but ho chi minh was oppressively humid. Glad you're happy, thanks for the vid.

As a Vietnamese living abroad, I am jealous 😊 - I haven't visited Dalat. As always, I enjoy your video. Thank you for sharing.
