    When I lived and worked in Vietnam before I retired and moved back to the state before the pandemic, my grandson and granddaughters came to visit me. After they had a taste of all kinds of Vietnamese coffees, they screamed at me: Grandmom, why did you tell me about Vietnamese coffees? We needed them for nights that we had to stay up past midnight to study for exams. Now that we have Vietnamese coffee in our system, we are not going back to Starbucks!!! Before they ended their summer vacation, they demanded I to take them a supermarket where they bought different types and brands of Vietnamese coffee. Let me tell you that each of their carry-on luggage was filled with coffee boxes.

    Vietnam is an amazing country. So much to see and do as well as stunning diversity in terms of landscape and culture. I would suggest, Da Nang, Hoi An, Da Lat, Phong Nha, Tam coc--Ninh Binh, Ha giang loop. And of course Hanoi. Each of these areas have their own special appeals. You will definitely need you full 60 days LOL

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment I was there, having staying in district 4, I was impressed by how many places I could walk and eat, I never got hungry as there was so many choices to eat.. i can't wait to head back again soon.. I hope you guys have the best time in Vietnam and what she has to offer..

    The dry season in southern Vietnam this year lasts quite long, causing hot weather. But the first rains of the season have begun to come. When the rainy season comes, you will very miss the beautiful sunny days. But that is a characteristic of Saigon's weather, in one day it can be sunny and rainy many times. When it's hot outside, find iced milk coffee, orange juice or a fresh coconut. When it rains, find a hot pot restaurant, or sit and sip a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy the trip!

    Vietnam is a small country and quite diverse from South to North. The land is more and more landscaping as you go from South, Central then North. Don't hesitate to communicate with locals if you are interested in it. English is not spoken as widely as in the Philipines though but locals love talking to tourists. It depends on whether you like to stick around touristic places or off the beaten track when looking for recommendations. Phu Quoc island while you are in the South, Ha Tien town is 1 and half hour from Phu Quoc by express ferry. Da Lat city is still considered South. Qui Nhon is a beach city but less hustling and bustling than Nha Trang and Da Nang, Hoi An ancient town is amazing. Hue is former capital of Vietnam before Ha Noi became the capital city. Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, Ha Giang Ha Long Bay, Sa Pa and more. While you are in Sai Gon, take Grab bike to Thu Duc city or Dustrict 7 where Phu My Hung city is, Thảo Điền is only on the other side of the river and that is where many expats hang out. It has lots of Western restaurants, pubs and other stuffs. By the way your video is beautiful. Congratulations. Oh next time when you book Grab, ask the rider if he can bring another rider because you have 2 people. He will call another Grab rider of you just have to book to rides on 2 phones and ask the riders to wait for each other to depart at the same time.

    The problem with taking grab "separately" is that you don't go together 😂 such an iconic sentence, the fact that both of you said thank you without handing over the helmet proves you're a couple, i think the street food needs a video of its own, food tour in HoChiMinh.... Great video with positive vibes again..

    So many recommendations for Vietnam. I spent a month there earlier this year. Some of my top paces and activities 1. Cat Ba: flamingo cat ba resort (extremely good value for money) 2. Hanoi: phin bar by refined (out of this world coffee), Katze Vegan and Vegetarian (amazing food, amazing story of the owner, fantastic hospitality and huge portions) 3. My Son Sanctuary 4. Hoi An: precious heritage art gallery (what a moving place showing human diversity and beauty) 5. Hue: Hien tra nhi do Mai (authentic local tea house), hue historic citadel (go all the way to the back, there is one unbelievable building fully restored and looking like something out of technicolor dream!) 6. Phong Nha national park: trekking with Jungle Boss 7. Ninh Binh: Trang An national park

I recommend the following places: -Ninh Binh- amazing natural landscape -Tam Chuc Buddhist Temple-largest Buddhist temple complex in the country, about 2 hrs south of Hanoi. Its actually on the way to Ninh Binh -Da Nang-great coastal city and location of Ba Na Hills theme Park (golden hands statue) -Hoi An- a little touristy now, but still cool to see -Phu Quoc island- the Hawaii of Vietnam.

(as her proud brand) It's not offensive when say somebody fat in VN, similarly: "you're spotty", or "you have grey hair" or "you look older than last time we met". They take it as a simple fact, not being offended. So when they say "you're pretty" they really mean it, not a diplomatic gesture at all. You are pretty & cheerful Sarha.
