To really enjoy meals in Asia it's best to share. Order 3 to 4 dishes and enjoy them together with steamed white rice. Yummy 😋 Pity you missed Hoi An, a UNESCO heritage town. Its so pretty there.

[@blardymunggas6884]

That is so true. Asian’s culture are more about sharing while western culture its more individualistic. Sharing allows one to taste more food for the same price.

[@diazo5679]

Yes, they are missing so much in their rush to eat. So sad to see. I watch there videos and see them passing a turnoff to a great place and Inwant tomyell into the video. But that is the type of trip theybwant. The best to them. I certainly worry about the way they drive.mwould work in many countries....but not here.

[@neonboy99]

@@diazo5679 Agreed you guys should not rush around like tourists. Instead spend a lot more time in a country as big as Vietnam. It's not about checking the boxes and trying to visit every country in Asia. Best to take a full week in each town n city. We want you guys to enjoy the journey too n experience life with the locals. You guys are moving way too fast and missing some great cities n towns.

[@tompham637]

Hue was an ancient capital of Vietnam during the. Nguyen dynasty. It has a citadel where all Vietnamese emperors lived until 1950. Hue also has a famous noodle soup which called “ Bun bo Hue”. This is a specialty of the city. However, you can find “ Bun bo Hue” in all the cities in the country. Hai Van pass used to be a very dangerous pass because the very narrow lanes of the route. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Have fun and stay safe !

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

Since you already liked Hai Vân pass , you will fall in love for sure with Ma Pi Leng pass in Ha Giang province ( Ha Giang loop ) , O Quy Ho pass ( near Sapa ) and Fa Din pass in Son La province . These 3 passes are the most gorgeous and `must see ` roads in VN . Stay safe and enjoy your tour in our country

[@r3dbak935]

I Wake up in the morning before I start work and I see this video and it really puts a smile on my face you both are so positive and happy. Your smiles throughout every video you do is always such a motivator and it's like my cup of coffee it starts my day.

[@dgdrone1950]

The wife and I discovered your vlogs after watching Lisa and Josh and now we're hooked!

[@Curious-traveler]

I think this is one your best edits, you’re music and videography is really great, capturing the mood and scenery of your journey. Loved it !

[@hangryparanoyd]

In Hue, you really need to try "Bun bo hué"!

[@joyamericaninoz3070]

Omg when you dropped the camera I thought you fell off the bike. So glad it was only the camera! Love seeing someone use the DJI Action 2. I got it in November and haven't truelly tested it like this. But..fyi you can get cases to go around them (I have a metal one and silicone). Hope all goes well with your visas! Safe travels.

[@lamthaotran19]

Fyi, the Vietnamese's tradional way of ordering foods in restaurants such as the last one in this video is to order a bunch of different dishes and share. More variety and brings out the family vibe. But you do you. I'd have 2-3 dishes just for myself lol.

[@daklakdigital3691]

I am glad you rode the pass far nicer than having your motorcycle piled in the back of a truck! The American War left a few landmarks such as the "Pill Boxes" - one is built INTO the roof of of the Royal Palace. Staying in Da Nang was a wise choice since hotel prices in Hue are so high. The Dragon Bridge represents the "new" VietNam, post re-building after the American War - well worth the trip. Da Nang has an international airport. Don't go looking for China Beach as it renamed and commercialised with 5* hotels. The Da Nang area is famous for high quality marble. The port serves both fisher people as well as cruises and cargo boats.

[@hawkins6958]

Great content and camera work guys, you are naturals. Welcome to Da Nang, Viet Nam. I am an American living here with my Vietnamese family. If we can help with anything just holler. Take care on the roads, sorry for some of the government shortcomings, most people here are 100% kind and helpful.

[@davesivirn2283]

Great ride for sure. Done that pass many times. Hue is actually pretty cool, so sorry you missed Hoi An. Looks like you are taking the same route I took a couple years ago, next up is probably Khe Sanh, small place with a tragic history, but from there to Phong nah is really some incredible riding. Be sure to do the caves there. If and when you go on to Ninh Binh I would suggest the Elizabeth hotel, family run two brothers and a sister, Thanks for bringing back some great memories. By the way much of the stretch from Khe Sanh to Phong Nah is very isolated so need to do it all in one go. Wheee

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thanks for the tips on the road to Phong Nah, those are very appreciated. Will definitely look into the Elizebeth Hotel as well 🙂

[@hadynjeffrey8210]

Every time I watch your videos you guys make me laugh. So natural you are. Keep them coming

[@mikeng9024]

3:38 My heart skipped a beat. I thought someone fell off the bike....Thanks god!

[@wolfpack7862]

It’s funny that Tia thought it was a trash burning day. During the full moon day, people in Hue would burn incense and joss paper in ancestral worship (such as the veneration of the deceased family members and relatives on holidays and special occasions).

[@vinhmai8754]

If they see places burning stuff outside again, are they going to think it’s Full Moon day again? You are explaining something that happen only on that specific day of the month, May 16th. We are unsure when they shot the video, it could be May 15th, could be May 14th. We are not sure…could be May 16th for all we know. People burn stuff in Vietnam everyday, you just don’t see it. Didn’t get to see the store, but it was raining, so it could be restaurants burning stuff to get rid of the bad mojo going around, no customers, so they want to get rid of it. Raining in Vietnam, only help restaurants serving soup, other places will be slow because of it. So, they will burn paper in order to get rid of the bad stuff going around the place.

[@Me-Mark]

I love the way you two are on camera. U actually act like normal people not like most who just act funny so they can get more people to follow them. Just a quick question while you’re were there did you try dog meat?

[@TopTopTop-us3hp]

Hue is a great city, I hope you enjoy and explore more about the ex-capital of Vietnam. There are many unique foods there. Many springs, where you can swim in the nature, and eat a lot of good food. Many pagodas, tombs, royal palaces...I hope there are more videos about Hue. Thank you.

[@AmericanInThailand]

You guys are pushing Vietnam into my top 10 now! Keep those bloopers coming!

[@NamLe1975]

OMG.. I thought you dumped yourself on the bike, good to see it was just a camera mishap. Love the vids keep em coming because I'm vicariously adventuring through your vids.

[@gwenhoang4018]

Very cute couple! Thank you I enjoy all your KZbin. Have a great time!!

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Love that you guys watch Top Gear and found inspiration from it! Don't tell Clarkson - it would go to his head. 😂 (his farming show on Amazon is surprisingly good) 😁 The Bloops at the end of this one are my favorites so far!! 😂 😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Clarkson’s show is definitely something we need to watch, we’ve heard nothing but good things about it. May’s Japan show was really good as well 😂

[@tylertran93nsx]

Da Nang is beautiful, it’s calm and not busy as Saigon a good place to retire.

[@nofood1]

my favorite place in all of Asia. 🤫

[@vinhmai8754]

Agree 10000000% and I am born and raised in Vietnam. My wife is from Dak Lak, she said Da Nang is where we will retired.

[@thuannguyenvan976]

Love 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 forever

[@TheWanderLife]

Thoroughly enjoyed it guys! Glad you were able to laugh off the little camera accident 🙂

[@QuanNguyen-og6pq]

One trick for the pronunciation: open Google Translate, set it to translate from Vietnamese to English. In the Vietnamese box, type in the word as you saw without the accent marks. For example, the restaurant name is "Không gian xưa", you just need to type "khong gian xua". Google Translate will show suggestion for the correct word with the accent marks. In this case, the app would show "Did you mean: Không Gian Xưa", just click on that suggestion (which is mostly accurate), now you can click the speaker icon in the Vietnamese box to hear the pronunciation.

[@kymwright263]

Omg thought u stacked the bike wow My heart sank Phew

[@thinhso]

I am about to buy an Action 2 for myself . The top one with the lens is water-proof but when you charge your camera with 2nd part ( bottom) , it is not . There are a lot of rain in Vietnam so be careful

[@mmaranta785]

Looks like you guys are loving Vietnam

[@livingin2worlds137]

Thanks for another cool video.

Another great riding adventure begin and that's reminds you...Mae Hong Son Loop! My things to do list end of this year! Cheers from Charall_deway 👍👏✌🇻🇳

Rode our motobike over the pass many times on the way to Hue.... Lang Co beach is a nice place to stop in between and has a fantastic restaurant. If you want an adventure hike up Mach Ba on the way

[@HungNguyen-zo9nu]

Oh man, your spring rolls make my mouth watering.

[@vantrongnguyen7601]

Cúng và đốt vàng mã ngày Rằm là phong tục truyền thống của người Việt. Người Việt quan niệm “trần sao âm vậy” nên việc cúng và đốt vàng mã vào ngày Rằm có rất nhiều ý nghĩa: Thể hiện lòng thành kính đối với tổ tiên. Giúp những người đã khuất nhận được lễ vật cần thiết để phục vụ cho sinh hoạt ở cõi âm, để tổ tiên có cuộc sống đầy đủ, tiện nghi. Tôi nghĩ bạn đến thành phố này vào ngày 15 rồi :D

[@greatnose4food]

No matter the weather, you still make the video from Đà Nẳng to Huế enjoyable to watch. Thanks

[@phunk8607]

That Top Gear episode was iconic, that was in late 00s and really open up VN... we did a tour a year after and did that Hai Vuong pass... but on a tour bus...

[@OnePackWanderers]

We saw a lot of other travelers on that pass, way more than we’ve seen on any of the other roads. It seems like that Top Gear episode is still influencing things today! A tour bus seems like a cool idea for that pass - much easier to enjoy the sights!

[@LDboliem82]

Nice to see your new video posting. The scenery of Hải Vân by pass is stunning and Huế city is famous for Vietnamese royal family in Vietnam long time ago. By the way, say hi to your cute dad! 😍

[@HungNguyen-zo9nu]

Did you guys forget to visit " Mui Ne " Phan Thiet. It is a beautiful place, especially the highway goes along the " Mui Ne ".

[@banhcuondj9690]

Are you planning to visit Hoi An it's a very beautiful town

[@louyht7]

They're in Hue now. Hoi An is 30 minutes away from Da Nang

[@cathyhughes7442]

I thought that Tia came off her bike so I was relieved that it was the camera which fell. Take care Cathy and Kevs x

[@nicholaslws5481]

Hey! Were you guys on the QL15 on route from Khe San to Dong Hoi today? I think me and my friends passed you guys on the opposite direction! We're came from hanoi on route to danang on 3 honda blade 110cc motorcycles. If yall need a rest stop en route from Phong Nga to Tan Ky, I highly recommend Nhà Nghỉ Anh Linh, its run by an old couple that are super hospitable and the rooms are really nice.

[@seoulseokjin]

There’re so many beautiful places in VN but the ones tourists (and locals) talk about the most probably is Hoi An, the Unesco Heritage town. Lang Co beach is also amazing...You seem to rush about a lot, maybe due to your visa arrangement. But such a pity since you’re so close to those places.

[@deblittle5164]

The day I rode the pass, it was pouring rain (typhoon was somewhere) and the fog was so think I couldn't see more than 5 metres.

[@MinhTran-ut8xk]

glad you guys enjoyed the ride, since you in Hue, you have to try the specialty "Bun Bo Hue",

[@suerowan3594]

Hello Tia & Cheveyo awesome video food always looks amazing the camera falling so happy it was all ok. Keeping enjoying your life take care.😍

Thank you Sue. Hope all is well with you 😊

Because of natural wall, Hải Vân Pas, Huế is the most rainy city in Việt Nam. Hải Vân in Vietnamese is cloud( vân) & sea( hải)

[@JohnT2088]

Ohh shes drinking black coffe. Thats the purer kind. To bitter for me 😂 but it does give you a rush throughout the day. Condense vietnamese coffee is a big similar to the caramel star bucks coffee 😊

[@triv4085]

You guys should try Bun Bo Hue there and compare it to the ones you ate in Saigon, since its origin is from Hue.

[@tomnguyen2745]

Wow 🤩 Thanks again for sharing your Video.👍we Really Enjoy every minute of it.my wife and I Are very Addicted to her Smile 😊 🌹

[@lenguyenhoanglam3729]

DJI is the famous brand of drone in China and around the world, the leading brand in fact. DJI Drone equipped with camera is used around the world for its robustness and reliability. So DJI action camera enjoys the same reputation. Hue is famous as the most intense fighting theatre during TET offensive in 1968. I and 59 cyclists from Thailand biked from Lao border through central VN to Hue, Danang and Hoi-an 10 years ago and then biked back to the Lao border, visiting the famous tunnels along the way. I still remembered the news in Thai newspaper about TET offensive and the Hue theatre.

[@OnePackWanderers]

You have really seen a lot of the region by bicycle! As a cyclist, did you find Vietnam more challenging to bike through than Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia? We have noticed Vietnam has significantly busier highways and streets than the other countries.

At 6:18 I was expecting to hear an exuberant "Hammond, I'm going for an overtake". Love your work, even though you did the Hai Van Pass sans smoking jacket and mod-coat. Is it time to gift your father something totally impractical and bulky? The 2008 Vietnam Special is what got me to ride the Hai Van Pass for the first time in 2016.

It’s the DJI Action 2. We made just over $500 for it. Definitely a big investment. I think it is much cheaper elsewhere though. Electronics are more expensive in Vietnam.

[@vinhmai8754]

If you see restaurant burning paper, it’s basically wanting “ghost” and bad spirit inside the restaurant to leave. They are scaring away customers, and that it’s been very slow all day. If you guys see that in front of a restaurant, help them out and come inside, eat/drink and help their business out. My wife and I do that all the time, regardless if the food is bad. If we walk along sude the road, and we see that. We come inside that restaurant to eat.

[@watahyahknow]

wow thats a kindof expensive camera , they do say its better than a gopro for the money you could buy a verry good used slr camera but then again swinging that size camera around pointing at youreselves and at the landscape going by while sitting on a motorbike isnt wat that type of camera is made for , besides that it takes up some room in the backpack compared to wat you bought now was thinking on using an slr style camera on my trip but looking at footage from some of the bloggers that use there phone on a selfy stick basicly i think i just going to use my phone and add some memory and some holders to it instead just need to figure out some editing program by the time im back home or on a rainy day in thailand , had a small cam that could upload directly to youtube that was basicly 240 p , i dont know if the phone uses the same type of AVI movie files or if i need to convert them to post , i have a few movies on my channel that are basicly raw footage from the phillipines when i was at ocean world brings back memories , it was like inside a metal drum with a bunch of kids using their outdoor voices , just my luck that i got there at the same time as 4 or 5 schoolexcursions still think you should use some sort of communication system amongs all three of you , been thinking about that though and was thinking that it might work with bluetooth headsets cnnected to one phone , these sets arent all that expensive and small too , not sure if it would work though to use them that way the camera is pre disastered should be ok from now on the garlic reminds me of when i worked for a company that converted cars intoo limosines and convertibles that was owned by a singapore company , the sons of that owner came to the netherlands to work a little and see how we did things , now people from singapore realy like there spices and garlic one of those guys had installed sumting in a car and had fallen asleep in it , after a while he got out and the next guy got in to install a radio , he had to open all the doors first to get the garlic smell out so he could get in without gagging , when the owners sons left to go back they trew a party with a lot of traditional food and the same guy couldnt sleep next to his girlfriend for a couple of days after , took a lot of brushing of teeth mouthwater showers and deodorant to let her come near him again
