I was blown away to see this video.. I spent a year at a US Army base about 2 miles from Hoi An. This, of course, was 1970-1971. I recall Hoi An as being a sleepy little town then that seemed to only exist because of the military traffic thru it. I'd LOVE to travel back to Vietnam and see Danang, Chu Lai and Hoi An where I spent the vast majority of my year there...
The reason why we have afternoon nap is because : we used to get up very early in the morning to work (4-5 am) and the temperature is so high in the afternoon(so people dont want to go out). very few people go out side for shopping at this time. and yeah it´s traditional ;)
Hoi An was my favourite place in Vietnam. But sadly we went during the wet season in Hoi An and it flooded. But it was so beautiful. I’d love to go back one day.
Was going to comment, decided not to because I didn’t want to ruin the perfect 111 comments. Looked and seen that the video was posted on April 6th , which is my birthday. So I must comment. Just watched my 4th video of this couple. All I wanted to say is this might be addictive Kara is so sweet I like this couple. I will be watching all the videos.
you guys really know how to make great vlogs congrats Hoi An looks amazing my friends was there a month ago and his still raving about it. love the music
Hoi An was my favorite place when I went to visit Vietnam. I got 3 tailored suits that are still good after 7 years! Cao Lau imo was delicious, it's said that the noodles can only be made in Hoi An because of special water from the Ba Le Well that makes the texture and taste of the noodles so good.
The French taught us that (long hrs lunch break). My dad used to have that French's style 2 hrs lunch break. He ate lunch, napped, showered, then return to work. Saturday is regular work and school day. Only Sunday off. Viet Nam was under French for so long (~80 yrs). The French's cultural is still deep in Vietnam re lifestyle and food, such as bakery, baguette bread, jambon, pate', salads. Thank you so much for the videos. I really enjoyed watching them!
Just recently started watching your videos, and have now seen pretty much all of them within three days haha! Thanks for sharing your wonderful travels with us here on the internet!
Excuse me? I've worked in the restaurant service field, I've never worked in a restaurant that was not polite and helpful to foreign visitors. I don't know if you work for North Korea or something but shut up.
I watch Our Curious Georgia vlogs and they lived in Danang and Hoi An for months and they are Vegan and the places they ate looked amazing. You probably don't have time to watch other people's vlogs but if you ever go back there then I recommend you watch their vlogs first, I know you are not Vegan but the food they ate looks really amazing.
Our favorite place in Vietnam. Got to go to the tailors next time - Miss Forgetmenot is the best one ever. She made me a 3 piece suit and my wife a Vietnamese chiffan dress.
Hoi an is a beautiful place with amazing food, the guys in your hotel will always recommend a friend of theirs if you ask for recommendations for things. Our hotel owner took us to their friend Tailor who made us clothes and also to friends of theirs who owned a restaurant. So you may of got unlucky with your noodle dish. Also I hope Anthony bordain got to view this before he passed, rip.
I love your vlog and wish I had found you sooner! I spent 6 months in Hanoi in 2016-2017 and travelled all over Vietnam. If you ever go back, please try the Bun Cha in Hanoi. It is a northern Vietnamese dish, so you can only find it there. When President Obama went, it was his favorite dish. Bourdain also filmed an episode with him and Obama eating it together in old town. It quickly became my favorite dish! Happy Travels!
i just started watching you guys about a month ago and i got to tell you you 2 are the greatest. your vlogs are very entertaining and informative also.... i'm jim from ohio
Awww, I'm sorry to see you're not feeling well. I know this was 2 years ago, and you're likely feeling much better now, but for what it's worth... I'm still sorry.
Hi kara and Nate sandwich looked good when you are in Vietnam you must try pho pho dish my son is working out in Vietnam teaching it's his favourite dish.
I cant imagine how hard it is to travel the world and not buy anything. Ouch! Also I would have feelt so quilty not beeing able to contribute to their lifes. There are reasons for the hard sell strategy they have in many countries. Wich you know of course. I really like the look of this place. It spoke to my heart instantly. It looks so cozy. Rather this than fancy and sterile. However there are of course exceptings. But the cozy factor always have to be in there somehow. Cutest little alleyway. We have them in Trondheim to but they are larger. It doesent take much to be tho. LOL :D
Are you sure you got the same sandwich as Anthony Bourdain? I think his was different and had a fried egg in it. Regardless, I'm sure it was still a delicious banh mi. You guys should try banh xeo, banh cuong, etc. Watch youtuber Helen's Recipes before you head back to Vietnam and try the stuff she cooks. Also, Yummies4Dummies is entertaining and Van's Kitchen and Runaway Rice have great recipes, too.
Did you take advantage of any of the spas in Hoi An? I had the best massage and foot reflexology treatments for like $25 US and I felt like a million $$$ afterward.
They do the same thing in Mexico it's called a siesta its cause its usely to hot do do anything in the afternoon but cone late afternoon through the evenings there up and doing business and whatever
Thank you, I feel much better now :) we don't fight too often thankfully! But when we do I usually turn the camera off 😂 haha it's pretty much only when we are hungry/hot/lost but we get over it quickly ;)

+leila hellier Thank you! We loved it too!
Kara: "What should I do eat the icecream or drink the coffe?"
Nate: "I think you should drink the icecream before it melts"
There's really no wrong answer. :)

Thank you :) im much better now!
Hoi An is such an adorable place! My favourite to visit in Vietnam.
I bet inserting that afternoon nap. Contributes too, having longevity and better health. I'm going too start this today.
1000 year old tree? Incredible. Thanks for the informative post.
hi guys, love your video!! i really like it when you do the 360 degree spiny camera shots.
Watched this after Bourdain has passed... cried a bit inside... who will we trust to try different bahn mi places now!?!
💔

Very nicely done video. I hope to visit in a few months so this info definitely helps get an idea what to expect.
So cool that you got to eat where Anthony did. I remember that episode and really want to try an authentic bahn mi someday.
Love where you both are is look very nice healthy foods thank you for sharing your beautiful video enjoy your holiday both Bless you both .
Our favorite place in Vietnam. Got to go to the tailors next time - Miss Forgetmenot is the best one ever. She made me a 3 piece suit and my wife a Vietnamese chiffan dress.
(Going back and watching all the episodes.) YES! Espresso + gelato is called affogato and it is magical!
Love the music on this one. 😃
hội an rất đẹp và rất tuyệt vời. mà ko ở nơi nào có được. mình ko còn ở hội an nữa nhưng mình rất tự hào về quê hương mình
I love these old videos

SOOOO many shops :) how fun to just wander around and check everything out :) BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO :0)
Hội An- the best time is 6PM(18:00), in day you should rent the bicycle and ride around Hội An.
The coffee is like the Italian version of affogatto.
Hi Kara , so glad to hear you feeling better , Have a great weekend " Greetings from The Netherlands ,
+Hanny Pengilley Thank you so much! I'm glad whatever cold I had didn't linger any longer :)
4:39 that moment Nate could tell Kara must be getting sick cause she didn't buy earrings...and he ended up being right. :D
RIP Anthony Bourdain.
I like the background music on this one!
Hope you feel better soon Kara!
I'm new to the channel I'm binge watching and I couldn't help but notice where is Kara engagement n wedding band ring ?

Shopping, Napping and Coffee, Kara is at home

Thanks! We REALLY liked it there!!!
RIP anthony bourdain
Awesome. You guys are fantastic.
Visited in Nov 2019 Hanoi's ban hi 25 was so good.
Really like your videos! Do you guys have plans to visit Indonesia, like Java Sumatra and other islands maybe? Cheers!!
+stella eugenia Thank you! We would love to next time around!!! :)
Your video sound very good, just wonder what kind of mic did you use?
I just love Dragon Bridge
hoi an and da nang city have many good food, many type noodle other , they re very eat chilli,
What a great video. thank you for sharing.
Did you take advantage of any of the spas in Hoi An? I had the best massage and foot reflexology treatments for like $25 US and I felt like a million $$$ afterward.
We love hoi an ❤️❤️❤️
They do the same thing in Mexico it's called a siesta its cause its usely to hot do do anything in the afternoon but cone late afternoon through the evenings there up and doing business and whatever
Can I ask how you guys found that secret alley way? We are heading to Hoi An in July so would love to know where it is!! Thank you so much!
Great as always!
+Michael Jackson thank you :)
If anyone knows where that free shortcut into old town is. Please let me know???
great choice of music i'd say!
Feel better Kara!
Thank you :)
Filipinos do afternoon naps too hehe
Kara, feel better! Your cheeks look flushed, I sure hope you aren't getting sick
Luckily it went away after lots of sleep :)
11:34 someone should introduce this in the western world! lmao
11 months ago I asked the link to this hotel and this year I stayed in the same hotel. Funny
The breakfast in this hotel was the best.
my ONLY complaint with this VLOG is the choice of Music at times.
Its not free to use a lot of music so they are using free music. Especially these older ones. :)
Kara looks like she's worn out. Constantly on the move is not good for anyone. You need to spent one day of doing nothing but eat and sleep.
That's pretty much what I got to do yesterday and it REALLY helped :) thanks!
oh! :D thank you. I didn't see that 😂 😂 😂
How many times did you stay at that Nhi Trung hotel?
Is having a nap really the tradition over there?
Nate did you ever get sick during the trip?
Awesome video
Ba na Hilll, guys!!!
affogatos (gelato/ice cream + espresso) are the best!
+Christopher Woo agreed!
Why is there such great bread?!?!
Link/Name of the Hotel guys?
you guys should meet up with kyle le... tell him show ya around
I think they're back home by now
didn't go to the cafe run by deaf/mute people?
A Vietnamese siesta! Who'da thought?
Every region has their own version. A real Bah Mim doesn't have tomatoes and lettuce. Period.
get more rest! take a day off editing vlogs and just chill. take care and enjoy.
+miukkium Thank you :) lots of rest definitely helped!
Kara,feel better. Please drink the water more than usual...
+Anna Annina Thank you :)
Kara I hope you feeling better now
Thank you, I feel much better now :) we don't fight too often thankfully! But when we do I usually turn the camera off 😂 haha it's pretty much only when we are hungry/hot/lost but we get over it quickly ;)
Thanks Kara? Nate? (not sure who answered my question:P) for answering my questions
Flowy Rompers.
YES! 😂
Can i have the background music :) =))
Sorry about my english
+chac ngo dang the link to the song is in the description go for it
This video better if it have English subtitles
Bon Mi 25 sucks compared to Queen... Check it out next time in Hoi An
