In today's video, I'm gonna tell you the five things I love about Vietnam!
What is going on YouTube? I'm actually not in Hanoi Vietnam anymore, I'm in
Chiang Mai Thailand. I just got here a couple days ago and I'm really
missing Hanoi. So I figured I'd make a video talking about the five things that
I love about Hanoi. These five things are in no particular order it's
just five things that I really loved about living in Vietnam the first thing
I really loved is that there are no coins I absolutely hate coins and I love
that Vietnam has ditched them and so all they have is paper currency so it's much
easier to carry all you need is the bills that are in your wallet you don't
have a pocketful of change weighing you down and every place I have traveled
with I have left with like all kinds of change cuz you just take it out of your
pocket you don't put it back in when you go out and then you never end up
spinning it so I'm just really glad that annoy doesn't have change it's one of
the great things I love about it I know it's kind of simple but I just
absolutely love it okay so it's starting to rain on me out here but I'm gonna try
to power through and get this list done hopefully there aren't like droplets on
the screen but if there are I pause in advance so the second thing I love about
Vietnam is how cheap it is a nomad or an expat can live comfortably in Vietnam
for between eight hundred and fifteen hundred dollars a month you can find an
apartment for three to five hundred dollars a month you can eat a meal a
gourmet meal for under five dollars you can get a coffee for under a buck a beer
for under a buck it's just really cheap and now it's actually starting to really
come down on me okay so the next thing on my list is the coffee the coffee in
Vietnam is like the best coffee I've had in the world
it's like strong and flavorful and it comes in so many different varieties you
have egg coffee which is like a whipped egg with coffee it's really good really
common here you definitely should try it out
what I really like and what the Vietnamese are famous for is their drip
coffee which i think is inspired by the French and it's just really strong and
they add condensed milk so you'll get a little bit of sweetness but you'll have
that strong bold deep coffee another coffee you can get in Vietnam
that I really like it's called coconut coffee so basically what they do is they
blend coconut milk and they're really strong drip coffee and it's just really
flavorful they'll usually throw some condensed milk in there that sweetens it
up this is really yummy it's great it's refreshing the coffee is just to die for
here here in Vietnam you definitely need to try it okay just a really quick break

journey okay so the rains coming down kind of
like crazy now but I'm still gonna try to get through this list so the next
item on the list is pretty obvious it's the food here in Vietnam it's not super
super spicy but don't be confused it's still very very flavorful Vietnam is
really a food culture there are tiny mom-and-pop restaurants everywhere so
just find one and go in there and ask the person what their specialty is or
what their favorite dish they make is and order that nine times out of 10
you're gonna have a new favorite dish so just pull up one of those little bitty
chairs they have there that are made for like children and just have them bring
you something I guarantee you it's gonna be good
so if you have any favorite Vietnamese dishes please comment below and share it
with everybody okay so finally the rain starting to lit up I'm soaking wet but I
finally made it to the last thing that I really love about Vietnam and that's the
people the Vietnamese people couldn't have been more welcoming or wonderful
they're so friendly and inviting they want to share their culture their food
their way of life it was just an amazing experience Vietnam is definitely a
country I'm going to return to soon I spent most of my time in the North in
Hanoi and how long and I'd like to explore the central and southern regions
of Vietnam so yeah those are the five things that I really love
Vietnam if you have something that you love about Vietnam that I didn't share
