  • In this travel vlog, I spend a day with my Vietnamese girlfriend Trang and her family during Tet in Phan Rang, Ninh Thuan, Vietnam. We eat some eel soup, get some coffee at a popular cafe, rent some traditional Ao Dai clothing, and then take some pictures at a pagoda in the Thap Cham area of Phan Rang.
    Overall, it was a really nice day spent with my Trang and her family, and I always really appreciate her family’s hospitality during Tet. Spending Tet with Trang’s family has become a yearly tradition over the last few years, and I look forward to continuing this tradition for many years to come. And of course, I’m happy to share the experience with all of you! I hope you are all having a happy lunar new year, and that you have a healthy and prosperous year ahead!

    I get the vibe from this film like you Bentley; Trang is out to impress her father not wanting to seem a failure not wanting to disappoint. Must be so much pressure to feel like that. Both you and Trang are great people, any parent would feel proud of both of you. ❤️

      The thing about the Vietnamese women when they are deciding if they are going to continue a relationship with an expat, is if that expat have the kind of money to make their family's life much more comfortable in the long run. Tyler definitely do not have lots of money, but everybody can see from his videos that he is the only child of two people who owns millions of dollars in houses in Southern California and he will eventually ends up with multi-million$ when his grand parent, and parents die. It is the kind of money that will provide a Vietnamese family with generational wealth. Tyler should be aware of his financial situation and other people's motives when they are nice to him in Vietnam.

      ⁠@@darkbrother8516and also don't forget that he is white. Any white man can find an Asian girl in Asia. It's very tricky because you don’t know if they are really into you or they just want the green card.

      @ On the other hand, finding a Vietnamese woman who can speaks your native language fluently like Trang is like finding water in a desert. It is something you would be wise to drink up and her water of love will save your "wanderlost" life.

    You should get more clean spoons and chopsticks to pickup food for another person. Vietnamese locals are used their bare hands to pickup salads and put in your bowl or use their spoon or your spoon to taste the what it’s in your bowl. I think there is a big difference between East and West hygiene but it can hurt their feelings if you don’t do it well.

    Judging from the house and car, Trang’s family is proper middle class in Vn.
    I think there might be some hometown bias in the 8.7 ranking 😊

    They are not only feeding the chickens with the dried rice and breads, but they are also keeping the rats nice and fat too. Vietnam have a major rats problem already in the big cities like Saigon, it should be illegal to put out old rice and breads on the street to dry. The rats are living off of those rice and breads drying on the streets and sidewalks. The rats in Saigon are getting really big and fat, and producing like crazy. I have seen about 3 fat rats feeding off of those old rice and breads drying on the sidewalks. It is just not sanitary in a crowded city like Saigon to put out old rice and breads for the rats to get fat like that.

    WUHUANGMAI,
    Kung Hei Fat Choy - Cung Chuc Tan Xuan - Gong Xi Fa Cai - Chuc Mung Nam Moi... to you Tyler & to your Lovely beautiful girlfriend Trang & to her parents as well; and to all of her extended families
    a very Happy Chinese & Yuenanese Lunar New Year; our Sacred Traditional and Spiritual National Holiday Year of the Snake... with all of your wishes, dreams and plans and all of your future endeavors come true throughout this Spring Festival...!!!
    Tyler, pink perilla is a herb; it's in a herbs family; there are about three to four or maybe five (it called kinh - gioi and this leaf is a must have for dried or fresh shrimp or fresh water crab or sea water blue crab as well) colour of perilla plants; solid pink, solid green and a mixed between pink and silver in color and others likely pink and green or in that category. I haven't seen those perilla leaf plants for a long long time nor eaten it/them. I love eating rice congee; I like both dishes you guys have there by the way and the other would be fish congee; and pesto dried shredded chicken or pork (called jambong in South Vietnamese language; the word derived from Spanish word Jamon) white rice congee. People in Yunnan Southwest or in Southern China and in Yuenan as well consume those herbs leaf among many others herbs species in our cooking or fresh dishes; and a type of coriander has thorny on both sides of its leaf; the other coriander herb (we eat with hot - vit - lon - balut egg) are also good in rice congee, noodle soups and in fresh salad dishes and in fresh Spring - rolls as well; besides cilantro, basil and chopped green onion. Japanese only use and eat the solid green perilla leaf in their Sushi dish(es). We also use herbs for garnish and decoration on the dishes as well...!!!
    My family tradition breakfast is/was always white rice congee with salt when my mother cannot afford Chinese soy sauce or American granulate sugar either white or brown sugar (We called duong - cat simply because it looks like sands) ; or breakfast with fresh baked Vietnamese - French baguette dipped in hot black coffee with sugar or hot black coffee with condensed milk or just granulate sugar filling and just condensed milk spreading besides cow head smiling face butter or French pate or the best of all is/was with pesto shredded chicken or pork jambomg - Jamon. Those precious time was before April 30th, 1975 though.
    Chu oi, Chu co biet nha minh di an sang o dau khong, Chu or di an sang o cho nao khong, Chu is proper South Vietnamese language...!!!
    I believe, your lovely girlfriend meant to say Turmeric Curcumin; she knew it; turmeric is good for your stomach like ulcer and skin; and others medicinal property to you health as well; and for scars on your skin when you have injuries or got cut, scratches or burn; burn from hot water or splash from cooking oil or from fire; not too deep or too severe from burnt though.
    Tyler, you should've said Co oi, ngon khong, Co...!!!
    Those offer items are offerings to Buddha or to the Gods according to Trang mother...!!! I love Trang mother accent and tone of voice...!!! Again, I like Trang Hue accent or The Central Highland (Cao Nguyen Trung - Phan is Mien - Trung) and Saigon City Southern accent; her voice of tone from all three Regions of South Vietnam is very sweet, attractive and sexy when she speaks it...!!!
