Our Vietnam slow travel costs

Hard To Beat !!!

Great video ! We hope to slow travel SE Asia and maybe travel Vietnam for 6-12 months.

I’ve been (now stuck) in Vietnam for 5 months now and of all the countries (26) I have visited this is the worst food I have encountered. I ate better in Bolivia! They don’t really cook, just put things in a bowl or on the table for you to do it. The Phó noodle soup is good, but how long can one eat noodles? Rice? this country is the #2 country for exporting rice but they must export all the best. They eat ‘broken rice’ the lowest grade available as they became acustom to it when they were poor, worse fried rice I have ever eaten is here!
Veggies? well most places never serve broccoli, green beans, peas, asparagus even though it is available, I detest the ‘greens’ they put in the food, it is like what the poor of the deep south in the USA eat. The fish is only good at pricy places as the street places use mostly a mixture of minced fish made into patties. And then there is the issue of menus, that don’t explain anything, maybe a photo if you are lucky that really doesn’t show what it is. If you like beef you are out of luck here, the only good beef is imported from Austrailia. You two having traveled in Malaysia and Thailand can’t like the food as well here! The language barrier here is extreme. Good place to visit as the people are nice and it is safe, but throw in the heat I can tell you this is not a good place to live long-term, although one can live cheaper than what you stated. I have been to all your destinations here and Phu Quoc is the best, I am waiting for the international flights to begin again then Latin America here I come when I can finally leave!
