Thanks for the comment!

Thanks alot, we appreciate that. Da Nang is a beautiful spot to start your retirement, congrats!

Happy to help!

@@expatescapeofficial Where about's are you from in Canada ?

@@marcinliandzis1827 east coast

For the total trip yes, it's about a 30 hours or a little more. (not a single 30hr flight) A Very Long Day! Luckily, Eva Air makes it a very comfortable trip!

defintely not a townie haha, only talk slower online so people can understand me

Thank you for the comment! When we set out to start a TH-cam channel, one thing I really wanted to incorporate into it was, anytime we gave a review on something I wanted to give people the unfiltered review that TH-cam is lacking. I wanted to give the no B-S version of the reality of doing these things and going to these new places so future travellers don't get a false sense of the reality from all the clickbait traps out there.

Thanks for the comment! Happy to help

we're glad you enjoyed it👍

Thanks so much, We're glad the video helped! Enjoy your trip to Da Nang!!😀

Yes, the west is declining drastically.

Thank you for the wonderful comment!! I really appreciate that! $7.00 for a good data plan is crazy right!? We could barely believe it when we first saw the price. We also had an E-Sim before and it's way more expensive. It is nice to have for being in transit so you have a working phone as soon as you land in a new country. But if you're planning to stay in one place for an extended period of time like we are, then it's definitely worth looking into a local SIM card. As for the dog meat, I don't know how they pitch it to foreigners, But we will be staying far away from it! haha (There will be lots more Vietnam videos to come!)

S*xpats, digital nomad types, begpackers, Russian draft dodger etc

Us neither! Never in my life I thought it would come to this, but here we are. We are trying our best to make the best of it

Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for the nice comment :). We're really appreciate it!

Happy to help, Enjoy your trip!

We haven't had any issues with sand fleas yet thankfully!

🙏🏼 Thanks for the support!!

Thank you! We really appreciate it🙏

Thats awesome man, thank you for the comment! We appreciate it and glad we could help!

@@expatescapeofficial I came back alive bro😁. I managed to reach the peak, but the wind was so brutal. 😂Tks for ur tips

@@Javavlog20 Congrats!!! Thats awesome news! Hopefully the tips helped you out!

I was just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time with a few other awesome guys who were willing to step up and together, we all got her down the hill as a team, safe and sound! It was a great day!

That's great, I'm glad it helped! I don't remember seeing any running water or pools along the way when we hiked it. It was also very hot and dry when we did it back in July/August, so anything that may have had water previously was likely dried up at that time. But in a month that could be a different story if they are having rain regularly. I opted to bring the extra bottles instead of a purifier as a guarantee to have enough water in the event we didn't find anything and I was very glad I did. Bringing a purifier is a great lightweight idea in case you find some water along the way, but I would still bring at least 1 extra 1.5L bottle for each day of hiking, on the basis that your guide provides 3 litres per day. Hope this helps! Enjoy the hike, It's hard but so worth it!

@@expatescapeofficial cool, thanks for the insights. our guide provides 3L/day too and i haven't seen anyone talk about whether that's sufficient for this hike in particular until i came across your video! was a little concerned since the hike looks like it starts off super hot. appreciate this, and your content - enjoy your travels :)

@@spacekez Thanks alot, glad we could help! Have a safe trip up there!

I'm a prep/planner by nature so we did plenty of research before coming down here. We also checked into things like the corruption and the yearly/seasonal weather forecasts prior to coming.(We love the heat, hotter the better for us haha) and we love it down here! Like anywhere, Vietnam is not going to be for everyone, but for us it's near perfect

Crazy isn't it, There's not much left now

@@testing3166 Absolutely! By far the Worst I've ever seen our country

@@fredtover2858 never voted for him

Absolutely, Thats the priority. But if definitely helps if you commit to it entirely and sell literally everything. Then your bills become very very little. Basically just your travel/medical insurance, and your travel costs to leave. Everything else like cell phone plans, rent, groceries are all very affordable once you're in country. Living for 1000-1500/month for 1 person is definitely doable here, maybe even cheaper if you have a spouse to split the rent and scooter rental with. It's a very stressful leap to take, but it could be the best one you ever made. It surely was for us.

We aren’t staying in Vietnam for the rest of our lives, it’s quite tricky to get a permanent residency here which isn’t our intention. So if you want to call it a prolonged vacation then yes we will call it that if you want to get technical. Our initial plan was to back pack all of south east Asia. We were only planning on staying here for 3 months but loved it here so we are staying for longer. We aren’t looking for jobs here or at any point giving up our Canadian citizenship. We are in a position to travel and we’ve set ourselves up to be able to do it. I work online so I am able to work from anywhere and I’m able to pay for a much more comfortable living than in our home town making the same amount. We never know what the future has in store for any of us so we decided to get out and see the world. I don’t consider this to be a rude awakening. Staying in Canada and continuing to live there is also going to lead us to a rude awakening, so no mater what we do… we will be rudely awakened 😅

@@williamcm9693 Have fun guys.

We are feeling the same way. Canada quite literally ran us into the ground to the point, if we stayed another year or two we would likely be stuck there. Leaving was the best decision we ever made

@@expatescapeofficial Exactly. The country I fought for turned into everything I'd fight against.

@shazzzam79 Same here my friend!! I served in the forces for a bit, got injured etc.. But now I'm glad I'm out because I could not, and would not fight and take orders from the corrupt leaders who are against everything I stand for

@@expatescapeofficial I was injured as well and had to go to another country where I could get the proper healthcare. Not just take doctor prescribed heroin and antidepressants. They kicked me out cause I refused their medicine. I fixed my back with physiotherapy, exercise and massage therapy. No help from them whatsoever. I've talked many people out of joining the Canadian military.

Thats the Canadian health care system for you. Wait a year or more to have an appointment, and when that day finally comes they just write you a prescription for another drug to counter act the last drug they prescribed. These days we look towards traditional Chinese medicine over western medicine every time. They actually look for the root of peoples problems and the try to fix them as opposed too pushing big Pharma down your throat for a bigger pay check when all they're doing is putting a temporary bandaid over the problem rather then trying to fix the cause of it. And getting Who knows how many people unintentionally hooked on their pills in the process. I can't blame you there, if anyone asked my honest opinion about signing the line Nowa days, I would have to steer them away from it. I have nothing but respect for all my brothers and sisters still serving, they are just following orders and doing their jobs. It's the orders coming down from the corrupt at the top thats the problem.

Thank you for that feedback, I really appreciate it! We are new TH-camr's and I am brand new to video editing and still learning the ropes, so this kind of feedback really helps me improve on future videos ! Thanks!

Thanks for that feedback! I am brand new to video editing so still trying to iron out the wrinkles and see what works

And you guys have a halfway functioning government which at least tries to limit migration. In germany these traitors import the worst of the worst in a mass scale you can't even imagine. They need to dance in the air.

Yes! The phone costs are SO MUCH better here. When we went to the phone company for our first time we couldn't believe it when she showed us the package list. I think we paid about $7.00/person compared to $100-130 each back home. We noticed that too! Alot more people are friendly to us here as compared to in Bali. Sometimes local even make an effort to come and talk to us and generally greet us with a smile. We love it here so far! Thanks for the comment!

@@expatescapeofficial Phone bill in Canada is $100 because you're getting f*cked over by little hat people who own Bell and Rogers.

Yes, we are lucky to have some options with our passport for sure. Any peaceful countries should have the same options in my opinion. Unfortunately thats not usually the case👎 We don't have alot of money either, we just barely got by living in Canada which is why we had to pack up and leave before it was too late. Canada is heading downhill more and more everyday, it's sad to see our country going to sh*t. Thanks for the comment!

I'm sure he misses you and his snotdot too! haha
