Vietnam Street Food, Beaches and Hiking in Phan Thiết Mũi Né
Phan Thiet Mui Ne Vietnam has some beautiful beaches, amazing street food (incl. Banh xeo) and at least one great hiking trail along the coast. Today's adventure is actually retroactive to between episodes 5 and 8 and I really wanted to share it with you. I think you'll find that this video captures a touch of the essence of this place. I hope you enjoy it!

Can You REALLY Hike Nui Dinh Trail in a Day from Saigon?
Переглядів 16614 днів тому
Can Nui Dinh Trail in southern Vietnam be hiked in a day coming from Saigon? Well, it can BUT you are going to want to secure your own transportation. My experience was that local buses will take more than 15 hours to reach the local villages and the direct route featured on Google Maps, doesn't exist (anymore?). So, secure a ride, be it a taxi or a rental - or alternatively, stay in Vung Tau a...

    Hi Ivan! Your video is nice! Towards the end of the video you talk about rose hips and how you don't really know how you can eat them. We can't eat it directly as it is otherwise the hairs inside would sting us. We need to remove the seeds and hairs and cook the rest or put the whole fruit in boiling water for a few minutes and drink it like herbal tea. So here is a recipe Wild rose bush (Églantier ou rosier sauvage) Rose hip (Cynorrhodon) or more commonly called ass scratcher (gratte cul) in France because of their itchy hair. Rose hip jam Wash 1.5 kg of fruit, cut the black part, remove the seeds and hairs. Put the fruit in a saucepan with 1 liter of water and cook over low heat for 45 minutes. Pass everything through a vegetable mill, weigh the pulp obtained and add the same weight of sugar. Bring to the boil and cook until the jam coats the spoon. Put in pots Bon appétit! 😊

    Nice video. The advice is sound. And quite accurate. I will add one more thing There are 3 main bus companies LWB KMB and Citybus. As well as Green mini buses (Scheduled) and Red minibuses (unscheduled) All have websites that will give you bus route information. However KMB has an app that tracks all buses including Green mini buses that will tell you when a bus will arrive. Just open the app. Get past the annoying full screen adds and on the home page will give you all the buses that are around your location and the expected arrival time that is updated in real time. Also KMB has web site too Citybus I don't think has an app. Except for the Airport Express MTR is cheaper than taking a bus. Buses tend to be less crowded and during off peak times you can usually get a seat. Not so on the MTR which is usually busy all the day and sandwich mode at peak times With octopus the are 'Sold' and 'On Loan' On Loan require a $50 deposit However if you ask for a refund it will cost $11 or 1%. And you won't be able to keep the card after. Tourist cards Are sold and you need to add value before using. Also to note the Octopus card is real stored value card and is accepted at a lot. And I mean a lot. Supermarket, shoe shops, restaurants you name most shops even markets accept it.

    Thanks for the video! Definitely one of my fave trails in Manitoba....and my cottage is literally 5 minutes down the road. Best time to go is usually May/June - water will be flowing really good and you can swim in it too!

      Thanks for the note and for the tip! I was actually thinking of going back one day with my underwater camera - it'd be cool to take some footage of the section just past the falls where the current is calmer.

    I have downloaded octopus for tourist, I can directly use it, right? No need to buy the physical anymore? And can I get refund gor everything I deposited?

      If your phone is Samsung you should be okay. Only Samsung phones.can use the Octopus system. I could be wrong. I think the app is just so you can reload your card.

      I can't find that app your talking about. Octopus has a an official app that you can use to load your card. What I understand is that you can get an Octopus Card at the airport or MTR station customer service. Tourist octopus cards are sold with no value. On Loan cards can only be picked up at MTR customer service stations. Also as of Today MTR accepts Visa and MasterCard As do most of the buses.

      Also most buses and trains accept contactless payments. Credit card or debit card. And GPay and apple pay. But you need one person can't combine payments for a group.

      If you are using iPhone and Samsung phone , you will be ok use it on the phone. However ,I still suggest you to buy a physical octopus card for tourists version to feel how it magical payment experience and how rush of the bong Kong life style .

    I don’t know which buses you’re catching but I’ve never seen a bus with an octopus reader at the exit door. You tap your card on the reader beside the driver when getting on, and that’s it. Trams on the other hand; you enter through the rear door, no tapping involved. Getting off you tap, near the driver, at the front door. The MTR (train) you tap entering your departure station and then tap when exiting your arrival station.

    How strange. I have a pair from I think 2016 and they have a full hard plastic toe instead of leather and the entire upper appears to be leather outer while mine are mixed with a kind of synthetic lair around the ankle and like a leather strap that cuts across it. Idk if it waa for more flexibility but the cross cut in the leather before the first hook right where your foot bends helps a TON for mobility and comfort. I have probably close to 1000 miles in them in the PNW and Rocky Mountains. Probably needs resoled but holding up for 8 years not bad at all. I wonder why they cnanged so much though? Maybe i should research it more but my only problem is i should have gotten wide toe version.

      Haha...despite all the changes the one thing so many people find with these is that their too narrow. I can't say why they changed them this year and I never had an older version so I can't say what I liked better. Thanks for your comment!

    On sale for 65 USD now, definitely worth it, size up that .5 size is also my rec after wearing, for reference I’m an 11.5 on the verge of needing a wide and a 12 hit the nail on the head.
