If you will come back to VN in June /July you will have mangosteens , longanes and the best lychees in the world . Every year Vietnam exports tons of that fruit to China , Japan , USA , Europe , Australia , Singapore ...For me the best Kem Bo Sâu Rieng ( avocado/durian ice cream ) is in Dalat where the best avocados are grown.
@@EllisWR For so long VN used to issue 3 month tourist visas to almost all foreigners . But many of them ( mostly native English speakers ) took advantage of that situation to work under the table here (teaching English at private foreign language schools/centers ) even they were not qualified for that job . A lot of them applied for a 3 month tourist visa and kept renew it by making a quick visa run to the Cambodia or Laos border then came back on the same day . They stayed in VN , enjoyed the good life , took advantage of the low cost of living here and worked illegally without paying taxes to the government . Besides that many foreign criminals also came to VN to hide or do illicit activities. Since the Covid crisis the government stopped issuing tourist visa exceeding 30 days . If some tourists want to stay longer , they have to go to another country then come back with a new 30 day visa . They can do that only twice a year ( one entry + 2 visa runs = 90 days in total ). By that policy it's much easier for the government to control the flow of foreigners in the country . Only foreign investors , experts and business people are allowed to have a one year or longer visa . But lately , since the Covid is almost under control , I heard that the Prime Minister is discussing with the Minister of Immigration , the Minister of Health and the Minister of National Security on easing the visa rules , hopefully for this year . So wait and see .
@@hungcuongnguyen293 I understand completely there are lots of terrible people that take advantage and its a shame because it ruins it for people like us. Hopefully we find a way to stay for longer so we can explore more and give more money back to local people 🇻🇳❤️
@@EllisWR Yeah I agree totally . Unfortunately sometimes honest people have to pay for the bad ones . Hopefully by June or July the visa policy will change .
@@EllisWR you should to hochiminh city and then you can take the bus at pham ngu lao to go cambodia at the border moc bai tay ninh to go out vietnam entry bavet border cambodia and then you make visa come back vietnam in one day
@@EllisWR Hi Ellis, we are watching from Western Australia, Perth. We travel to Thailand every year since 2005. Except covid lockdown years :( We did London and Wales (my family is Welsh), then onto Norway (huby from Norway) then onto Amsterdam. It was a great trip 2019.
I love the way the two of you will try anything at all at the drop of a hat.... this is really interesting content for me as I haven't yet been to Vietnam and I love a market wander and graze.
I'm with you on durian desserts...my favorite! I love the ice creams/shakes, the mooncakes, etc. Durian all day everyday! But as far as fresh fruits, yes, try them all. The tropical fruits are one of my favorite things about living in SE Asia. I wouldn't have been able to hold back from the jackfruit, longans, custard apple, soursop, mangosteen, etc. Try it all!!
What you are dealing with is just a passing glance. if you stay in Vietnam a little longer, you will have some Vietnamese friends, they will lead you into Vietnamese life, then all the interesting things will begin hehe 😁.
I VERY HOPE YOU KNOW HOW GOOD HAVE HERE! SUN, GOOD REAL FOOD - SO YOU SIMPLY ORDER WHAT YOU ARE HUNGRY FOR, WITHOUT CALCULATING THE PRICE AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND UNCOMPLICATED AROUND YOU - 🙏🏻🌹LOVE FROM EUROPE
Hi Ellis & Alicia. Watching your last clip in Vietnam. Can't wait what you will discover in Thailand. In the meantime, you might want to watch Gary & Joe's live, eating a Balut. I've never seen Gary panic upon seeing food, 🤣🤣🤣. Joe ended up managed to eat it all by himself while Gary was trying not to throw up. I know you won't have issue eating it. You need to show Gary how you did it. 😀
Hahah Panna il show him how it's done, there's no way a balut tastes disgusting they are delicious I don't even see it as a weird food now haha. Have a nice day!
So how does the central bun thit nuong compare to the southern one from HCMC vs bun cha in Hanoi (this one is way different, but people say it's the northern version of bun thit nuong)? Which one is the best?
I've never been to the south so I can't say! Such a hard question, central bun thit nuong is so delicious and fresh I could eat 5 bowls Bún Cha is richer and makes you feel full but again so so delicious. I think Alicia would take the bun thit nuong and me the bun Cha
@@EllisWR Interesting. Now I cannot wait until you guys try it in HCMC and compare. One couple that tried bun cha in Hanoi said it's probably the best thing they ever ate or right up there...and Anthony Bourdain did take Obama to try it in Hanoi, so you're in good company. I've only tried the southern version, so I cannot compare, but I'd eat any one of them on any given day...but I like how in the US, we often get the fried spring rolls in ours. :)
@Ellis WR well I thought you had seen most of thailand, I like how you get off the beaten path. We weren't fond of samui, in khao lak now and quietness is great, long stretch of beach is fantastic. Krabi we stayed put of ao nang (not for us) we are like your parents age lol so that touristy, inflatables everywhere, bars and muay thai promoters aren't our vibe. Loved chiang mai, Pai was beautiful, chiang dao was pretty bit too Instagrammy (if you get my drift), chiang rai was nice for the hiking outside the city.
@@Wortsandall What did you like about it? :) helps me make better videos. I had one but left it in the UK I prefer filming more easy going style to take the viewer along with us!
Vietnamese markets are some of the very best! 🇻🇳
Where's your favourite markets?
You both always show the real side everywhere you go..good job, man
Thanks for watching that's what we aim to do!
I love durian if it's been frozen and or turned into a dessert/cake/pastry
Yes one hundred percent so good
Ellis, in asian culture, to praise someone as number one, you show your big thumb 👍.
Cheers for that!

We'll have to visit Dalat next time and try! You might very well see us back then! Ask your government to give us a 60 day visa hahah 🇻🇳

Was nice to see you trying the fruit as there’s so much of it that looks different to the fruits on English markets. You need to eat more
It's delicious really fresh
That custard apple fruit or mang cau is good in a drink or che, then you don't have to pick the seeds 😂
Sounds good
Vietnam🇻🇳is the best street food. So, you should eat food on the street, small restaurant and a lot of local people eat at there. That's a TIP!
Yes some of the best food in the world!
That coconut thing at the end looks interesting. Been applying for jobs in Thailand. Want to eat half the stuff you have found. Keep it up!
Hey it was so good honestly coconut durian and avocado! Wish you all the best 🤞
Just started watching your vlogs. Enjoying them all. We are hoping to visit Vietnam soon. So we are learning a lot from you. Keep up the great work xx
Hey Helen I appreciate you watching 🙏 hope you have an amazing time over there 🇻🇳 have a top day where are you watching from?

You'd love it mate should definitely get over there!
Buy a "muối tôm" bottle (shrimp salt) to dip any fruit in, you will be surprised
Ooo sounds interesting

You've got taste! I've become addicted to Jackfruit!! ❤️
@@EllisWR Okay, I just finished watching you eat the combo dessert with durian and avocado and that does sound delicious!
They’ve been selling like this for hundreds of years, if not thousands. What a Third world slum people!
Come back in 30 years and it’ll be the same.
Say oh yeah
Hey my friend!
Nếu các bạn quay lại. Hãy đi Hà Giang nhé tôi sẽ đồng hành cùng các bạn ❤️🇻🇳🌎🥰 love you.
Hey my friend Thanks so much! Email me! If we come back we can get in touch!
Nice chopsticks skill Ellis
Thanks Sorawis 🙏
That fruit ( mang cau xiem) tastes nice delicious but expensive a kilo 3 quid
Người Vietnam ăn tại nhà thường là 11am, nếu 10am đi chợ sẽ không kịp rồi bạn, cho nên chúng tôi đi chợ khá sớm
Yes vietnam everything start early!
Mantap

When l ate that fruit ( trai dao) l often had constipation
Hello from Indonesia
Hello. My friend!
Bạn mới đến VN vài tuần mà phát âm tiếng Việt rất tốt
Thanks my friend I tried my best, next time we come we will learn more vietnamese! 🇻🇳
@@EllisWR Ok.Thank you
Have you tried all the delicious Vietnamese 🇻🇳 dishes yet? 🤨
So much to try
Rose apples are full of water and pretty much can eat the entire thing. They don't last long though
There pretty refreshing!
So how does the central bun thit nuong compare to the southern one from HCMC vs bun cha in Hanoi (this one is way different, but people say it's the northern version of bun thit nuong)? Which one is the best?
I've never been to the south so I can't say!

Bún Cha is richer and makes you feel full but again so so delicious.
I think Alicia would take the bun thit nuong and me the bun Cha

One couple that tried bun cha in Hanoi said it's probably the best thing they ever ate or right up there...and Anthony Bourdain did take Obama to try it in Hanoi, so you're in good company. I've only tried the southern version, so I cannot compare, but I'd eat any one of them on any given day...but I like how in the US, we often get the fried spring rolls in ours. :)
Yes the same in the UK we get those thrown in there!
Finally in HCMC and we are loving eating allll the food!

2 quid they paid for food
like that in London restaurant is 10 quid
London is a rip off
Where are you off too next?
Hey Holly we're back in Thailand where would you like to see us visit? Problem is Visas everywhere offers short stays :(

@@hollygibson1801 We visited every region apart from the South so we're making that right!
Haha your vibe sounds like our vibe!
@Ellis WR you'll like the small islands in the south, we just have way to much stuff (bought more suitcases) to be doing the whole ferry thing.
@@hollygibson1801 I'm really looking forward to it Holly! You enjoy your trip for us!
I saw you buying rose apples at the market. It hasn't been washed yet. You quickly ate it. Youw know still dirty and dangerous.
Don't worry we'll be fine we don't stress about much
sponsored by grab lol
Hahah first grab I've ever used city just too dam big to walk
@@EllisWR it felt like a slightly different flow to this vlog I liked it. you must be thinking about getting a drone for some nice shots

12:00 My hometown calls it "qua roi", I like this fruit
It's so tasty! Where are you watching from?
@@EllisWR from Hanoi, haha
Mãng cầu ( người Bắc gọi là quả na) . Thường khi mua phải để vài ngày cho chín tới rồi mới ăn sẽ ngon hơn rất nhiều.
Ahhh Thanks for explaining!!
That lady who sells the apple sugar rips you off.
How does she rip us off explain please
