Tia made it looks so easy! A NATURAL!!!
Yes the architecture in Dalat is beautiful. I took so many photos of the homes. Yay Tia, proud of you! 🏅
Congratulations Tia! You definitely deserve that beer. Looks like you had some great teachers too.
I hope I am brave enough to try riding when we arrive. You gave me an inspiring push.
Enjoy the journey. Be safe. 🍻
I just binge-watched all your VN videos yesterday and I'm so stoked that there's a new one now! I'm addicted to Tia's smile!
Her smile is beautiful
You guys are perfectly matched couple. Wish I can have someone like Tia. She’s beautiful.
Brave to learn how to drive in Asia! Be safe and enjoy!
Oh, my goodness. You pick the wrong time and place to learn to ride a bike. The traffic in Vietnam is CRAZY. On the other hands, if she can handle a bike in Vietnam, she can ride her bike anywhere in the world!!!
So proud and uber happy for you, Tia! What a huge accomplishment. You may need to get your own bike if you're planning on doing the Ha Giang Loop as the more weight on the bike, the less comfortable it will be as the suspension would be nil with you both on there and your bottoms will be sore, which would make for an uncomfortable and painful trip.
Yay, Tia! Congrats for having the courage to learn to ride a motorbike in Viet Nam. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Maybe I'll learn as well when I finally get to move there, hopefully this year. I'm looking forward to getting back to Đà Lạt one day. Enjoy!
Congratulations Tia. However, I would not suggest you to ride in the big cities in Vietnam unless you have already used it for some time. Da Lat is the city found by a French doctor in the colonial days. It became a vacation place for the French to escape the heat in HoChiMinh city ( old Saigon). The last Vietnamese emperor also had his vacation mansion there. This city provides most of flowers for all the country, especially roses . Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Have fun and enjoy !
Wow, your dad is really wise. He must have read and learned a lot about history of Southeast Asia. I grew up in Cambodia and now live in America. Not a lot of Americans know what was going on during the Cold War.
YAYYY!!!!! Tia can ride!!! Congrats! Have fun and drive safe!! :D
So much fun riding the motorbike in Vietnam. I can just fill up the gas tank and cruise around the city and countryside all day long. Release all my stress from paying bills in California
Congrats Tia! Just remember to always look where you WANT to go never where you don't want to go. If you 'stare' at that cow-pat 50 meters away, you will drive straight through it.
This is fantastic advice. Target fixation is real.
I can now tic the box "Tia Learns How to Ride a Motorcycle" along with you! 😁 I promise to stop bugging you about it now. 😂Seriously though, that takes some courage especially in Vietnam traffic! 😳
The architecture is so varied but as you mentioned very lived in. Loving the vibes in Dalat!
Yay, Tia!! We've been putting off learning, too - but it's on our list. You make it look so easy! 👌🎉🎉
I’ve been riding motorcycles forever. I rode in Hanoi rush hour my first day there ever. I suggest beginners go slow until they have more experience and confidence. Also automatic bikes are really easy. I’ve driven quite a bit in Vietnam and China and one thing I do is always be prepared to stop or avoid someone because anything can and does happen
so true
Way to go Tia! Great coaching guys! Looking forward to seeing the first Tia Cam pop up (keep yer eyes on the road!!) 👍🏍💪
Congrats Tia! Great Video!
I'm glad to know you've arrived safely in Da Lat. I know you have experienced many difficulties and dangers along the way but I believe you have been rewarded with interesting experiences and scenery in each place you have passed. See you in the next videos and remember to stay safe & good luck, thanks for sharing
Love! U guys are great! Tia learning how to ride a motorbike in Vietnam......she's got bigger u know what than me! She's awesome!!! ~ See u in the waves! ~
She's so dang tough, I'm really proud of her 😊
Love you guys!!! :) Tia's smiles is addictively charming!.. She is for keeps Cheveyo!!! You guys make me feel like quitting my job too :( Love the cinetographical footage (is that a word? ..:) .. BTW, congratulations to finally be in charge of the bike Tia!.. I am thinking of getting a motorbike license in Vietnam on my next trip .. :) I hear it's fun .. with the figure 8 road test!.. If you can . please do some reviews on this.. For road safety, I think we should all get licensed in Vietnam .. :) . Tia.. keep smiling!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Looks like a lot of fun!!!
Way to go Tia! Well done.
Tia is really a friendly friend that I would like to binge-watch hehehe Hope you guys enjoy the trip!
OK THANK YOU
wow... Tia you are amazing. Such a fast learner
just discovered your channel ahead of my trip to Vietnam and you guys seem like incredible, genuine people! Love the vlogs, hope you enjoy your travels!!
I glad that you got to Dalat
It is such a cool place
It is on my list of places to return to
For safety reason, Tia should ride in between Dad & Chev. Since dad is more experience, he should be riding in front. Chev will be following behind.
Saw Tia riding slow and able to balance like a pro, knew she was good to go!!!
She’s such a capable lady. I am so lucky to have her by my side 😊
Can't wait for you guys to go to Pakistan So you can meet the kindest and most hospitable people in the world
Great work T! Safe travels to you all! 🛵
I'm truly impressed with how quickly Tia picked up riding a bike. Extremely well done.
First off, congratulations on the courageous effort Tia. The second thing, and this is going to sound very VERY VERY weird, is that VN is actually not a bad place to learn how to ride a scooter. The traffic accepts slow rider, they just go around you, because they're used to seeing all kind of riders. Try to drive 35mps on a boulevard in the US suburb and see what kind of pressure you'll get from other drivers on the road. In VN, they just avoid you and go around you. Having said that, all bets are off when it comes to trucks and buses in VN, they're maniacs. Even the best of Vietnamese scooter riders will give way to buses and trucks and you should do the same.
Take care guys, drive careful, drive slowly and take advantage of those road side rest stops with hammock and cheap sugar cane juicers.
In the US a suburban soccer mom SUV will drive you over before you leave the driveway on those little mopeds
like they say, if you crash in Vietnam you'll survive, but if you crash in Thailand you're dead..
Excellent points
Exactly what a Vietnamese would tell her!!!!
And good that you mention rest stops too. Food might not be best there, but they are super convenient and prices are all declared so...
...."that VN is actually not a bad place to learn how to ride a scooter". Errr...especially without a valid Vietnamese driving license I would not recommend it. And no, your national license is not valid and neither is an international drving permit. Cheers, OX
Did you guys visit the historical building/museum of the Bao Dai King (the French colonialism) in Da Lat? The pine trees, the up/down hills roads ( great for motorcyle rides) , the nature, the historical things, beautiful there.
Way to go miss Tia good job.
Such a nice place. Five more days, and I'll be at Danang!! Have fun guys!
Woo! Da Nang is a really cool city
👍 Go, Tia, go!!! Da Lat used to be the romantic honeymoon destination for Saigonese back in the days so hope that means we'll see even nicer natural sceneries. Yep, that roasted sweet potato lady sure wasn't very nice to way overcharge you because you're foreigners but as a roasted Okinawa purple yam lover myself, I get Tia's cravings. The tuber to try in Vietnam though is KHOAI MI (cassava, yuca) served with fried green onion, salt, sugar, sesame seed mixture. That, and XOI BAP, mochi rice with hominy, mung bean paste and fried crispy onions are two must try breakfast foods, or snacks in Vietnam!!! Oh, and of course, anything wrapped in banana leaves. I had no idea what they were most of the time but double points for being eco-friendly+delicious 😋
Lol the dead fish is on point
Please do not forget to visit Datanla fall.
Tia. Make sure spees down before at any turn, corners, cross road, round-about. Tia is lreally Brave. Kudo Tia!
It seems the bike is Honda's semi-automatic which was conceived over 60 years ago and is generally known as "Dream". You don't need to press a left hand level to disengage clutch. You just press left hand pedal to change gear as by pressing the pedal it will disengage clutch as well as changing gear. That's why it is called semi-automatic motorcycle. You press the left hand pedal forward to shift to 1 2 3 4 and if you press forward again it will shift back to neutral, some kind of loop. You can also shift gear down by pressing back lever such as changing from 4 to 3 etc. It is easier than shifting gear with clutch lever in that even if you suddenly stops while in gear (4 3 2 1), you don't need to press clutch lever to prevent engine's stop. The engine is idling just fine even if it is stopped and in gear. But the engine must be in either gear 1 or 2, otherwise there is not enough torque to pull it forward.
A minor correction. You go N-1-2-3-4-N. And you can't shift to N from 4 while moving. Have to completely stop if you want to go 4-N. You also can't shift if you don't release the throttle. It just disengages the clutch and if you rev while pressing down the shift pedals, you're basically downshifting so it's very dangerous since the bike will rush forward after releasing the shift pedals.
Way to go Tia!! Maybe you can get your own bike up north or something. Happy Travels!!
Wow! 👍,Tia can drive a motorscooter! Be careful!. I hope your family enjoy the cooler weather in Dalat which had nickname "Little Paris" in Viet-Nam as the French colonial government chose it for them for vacation during Viet-Nam was the French colony. The beautiful lake (Hồ Xuân Hương, "Hồ" means "Lake") named after a poet Ms. "Xuân Hương". The tower on other side actual is a TV tower. You should visit the cathefral St. Nicholas of Bari which is just across street few meter from that TV tower. I stayed the Duparc hotel (3 nights in Jan 2018) near that cathedral. People often call that church is " chicken church" since on top of the tower has a Goloa chicken. Dalat is a popular city for Saigoneses taking short vacation in cooler climate.
I really enjoy watching you guys' video. So much fun.
Good sweet potatoes from Da Lat. Japanese imports a lot from Vietnam. It is more expensive in Japan. They sell as dessert in restaurant
Wow, great job. You did great.
Hello Dad! No one is commenting on how cool a parent you are. Great to see you on that big bike diggin Vietnam. Can ya dig it? Talk more on the videos and get fricken famous!! Say hi to the two riders with you. Lovin' the action 🏍️🏍️🏍️❤️❤️❤️
Hello back atacha! So digging it.
Good luck on your motorcycle ride and have fun in Vietnam please come back to Thailand again we like you very much enjoy the time with your daddy too love from Phetchaburi Thailand.🥰
There's still a LOT of Thailand that we need to see! Will definitely, definitely come back.
Well done, you did really well😁 you're a natural 👌👌
Good job Tia!
So good! We don't have the luxury to learn on a track like in many other countries and getting a few hours if experience on Saigon roads is something any new rider would find daunting. If I had to learn again it would be in the countryside on less travelled roads. Good job Tia and was it Paul? Chev's dad!
All you need to do is learn how to pop a wheelie and welcome to the club!!
If you are still in Dalat, go visit this breakfast spot Home Coffee (Address 4 Co Giang street). Quiet garden with excellent breakfast.
I remember my first time I kept flipping over because I brake the front break first before the back, lol. Luckily it was a dirt bike and I was on dirt, lol.
Good job, Tia !
Been waiting 2 days for the update! Woo!
Tia your a natural on that bike.When you get back state side you have to try a sport bike! Way to go!
Lake is beautiful look like europe
Congrats Tia, cheers! 🍺🍻
Well done Tia xx
Congratulations Tia!!! 🛵💨💨💨💨💨
Remember. Always look where you want to go. Do not look at the wheel, just like ridding a bicycle. And always do shoulder check before changing lanes.
I miss Dalat so much. I used to live there some fifty years ago.
Yes my hometown. One of the best city in the world.👍
Best thing to ride around town is the scooter, city traffic is terrifying. Hahaha.
Ha well done girl!! I tried to ride a motorbike once but that side of my brain doesn’t work …smashed into a fence…done never again… manual cars,trucks etc no issue.. just bikes!! 🐨
Yey, go Tia! Well done! 🤗
That jetsons type 1960s whacky architecture is called Vietnamese Modernist Architecture. It's brilliant
Yay Tia!! 🙌🏽🤙🏽
so nice guys
a new motorcycle mama has been created - great job
Congrats Tia For Learning How To Ride A Bike.
Please please try to meet up with 2Passports1Dream!! They're in Vietnam right now and it would be amazing to see you guys hang out!
Chàng trai cô gái dễ thương. Và ông già cá tính. Yêu các bạn
chúc mừng các bạn đã đến đất nước tôi thank you
just like riding an eeehr bike
see if you can find some cones and practice slalom driving , tight circles in both directions and emergency stops (certan speed tight up to a cone then brake as hard as you can using both brakes ) aspecially the last one is important as you then know how long it takes to stop lock up the wheels and the order in wish to apply the brakes
Should post new video everyday. Can’t wait hihi
Live in Vietnam have to drive a bike 🚴
Wow....natural
My dear! It's gorgeous 😜😎😄
Well done Tia, congratulations...
But please wear helmet, even during practicing...
Lot of girls here fail a test to get their license but you can master in a couple hours . Goood job
Dudes, I think you should peel the skin of those sweet potatoes before eating. I do that all the time. Good luck to you guys on your travel.
it seems that all three of you [especially dad] are enjoying viet nam. that is great. Tia really took to the motorcycle but; it may not be good to be caught without a vietnamese driver's license. oh wait; that would be all three of you needing vietnamese driver's license. good luck with that.
happy trails!
IPAs in the house👍
First off are you getting your own bike to ride. I hope so. As another commenter said,, where you look is where you will go. Indeed practice some emergency stops and swerves. I also hope the guys will let you ride with no gear on the bike.I know you keep saying best day ever lol. Well you are going to have a lot more of those to come. Da Lot is a real gem. Such a great mashup of different styles and periods.
Oh she is great driver :). Please try avocado icecream in Phụng store at Nguyên Văn Trỗi street, trying bbq in Mơ Màng or the The Melody of Forest restaurant with nice view in the afternoon. And drinks in Phía Chân Đồi, Cao Nguyen Đà Lạt, Túi Mơ To coffee shop. You can drive to Cầu Đất tea hill in early morning to see white cloud . Enjoy your trip in my favorite city :))
I'd feel so happy (no, a lot of Vietnamese people too) if you two will keep coming back to Vietnam, make Vietnam your second hometown, and end up living in Vietnam permanently.
Great job, Tia.
Hope to see Dad's vlogs about his months exploring Da Lat.
I thought we always start in first gear on the bike..?
I'm working on a vid, however it takes a lot of work to edit. Most of my energy is spent just keeping up! Also my GoPro had a melt down (literally).
I totally thought the same about 1st gear. But second or third make a lot of sense with the auto clutch. Much less twitchy or, should I say, a very un-abrupt take off. This would never work with a manual.
I hope you include the Philippines in your SEA travels :)
Awesome how supportive y’all are! Congrats Tia for riding, and congrats Cheveyo for making it through another Tia shopping session. ;)
Driving in vietnam especialy in city or in crow needs experience and know the rules of the road, look the road carefully, relax, enjoy and drive slowly and don't try to pass by a truck or a big car on narrow and crowed road. She also control motobike well to drive in crow in viet nam if not I think you should drive to be safer. Love you guys
Go to suburb of Da Lat. There will be more epic views.
Cheveyo: You're doing great, Tia.
You did so well!
She is a master.
...
Let me ride with Dad.
Hahaha that was Tia’s choice. She wasn’t comfortable with a passenger, it totally changes the dynamics.
Where do you plan to visit next after Vietnam?
I am so happy for you both for the adventures past, present and future that you’ll share. Tia’s smiles are infectious. Enjoy the trip! Say hi to dad 😊😊😊
HI!
I wouldn’t ride on a main road until you have alot more practice.
oh gezz, you 're support to peel the skin off sweet potato. I don't think they washed for baking. Even steam potato, they still peel off the skin. It's not same like in US that we wash, bake, and eat without peeling....lol...I guess you have swallowed some mud that's delicious.
I was researching motorcycle riding in Vietnam and it said that you need a Vietnamese driver's license which you can't get on a tourist visa and international licence isn't valid, what did you have to do to cover rental and insurance. Great vlogs I'm hoping to be in Asia to tour on a bike soon. Cheers
Some insurance policies will still cover you, it's best to ask your insurer directly. Every rental agency will rent a bike to you without looking twice.
In practice, the driving license situation in Vietnam is complex. Most drivers in Vietnam don't have a license, and the police will expect 'coffee money' from you if they stop you, no matter what papers you have. It's all very informal.
