Da Nang vietnam: Livestream

The speaker is at Pallet, noting that the crowd has calmed down significantly compared to a week or two ago, even though it's 7:30 PM, dinner time. A broken keychain prompts a discussion about negotiating prices, with the speaker emphasizing that a new item breaking quickly suggests it wasn't worth the initial cost. They mention that they just got the keychain three days ago and the handlebars broke already, highlighting the importance of negotiation for such items. The speaker explains that they had planned to go to another restaurant on Food Street, but it was closed, so Pallet was their backup option. They need to get takeaway for a bus visa run the next day, so they ordered beef and rice for dinner and an extra portion for the trip. They also mention that Vince and his group are expected to return. Upcoming travel plans include a trip to Hawaii around April 6th for three days, though it's unclear if this has been announced on the channel yet. The speaker also acknowledges a visa approval. Fluffy mentions a "Manila Corner" on party street that sells Filipino food. The speaker notes that the restaurant at Pallet no longer gives them greens with their order. There's a discussion about a large community in Da Nang. The speaker asks about dessert but then clarifies there won't be any. Someone booked a fast-track service at the airport, and the speaker is curious about how it works, though there's some uncertainty if it's available or effective at this location. Army Guy confirms he has used it. The speaker reiterates that the takeaway order will be their lunch for the bus visa run tomorrow, to be stored in the refrigerator overnight and packed in their backpack. They plan to do live streams throughout the day of the visa run. Kevin is expected to arrive soon, possibly on the second. Fluffy mentions that landing at the airport can be crowded, especially if multiple airlines land at the same time. The speaker asks Kevin to email them his flight details (number, landing date, time, airline) to save the information. Fluffy prefers chicken, while the speaker is open to trying it next time. The speaker and Fluffy are going on a trip on April 6th. Fluffy mentions April 2nd is her brother's birthday. The speaker playfully calls Fluffy a "fool" for thinking it's her birthday, clarifying that her birthday was recently. The conversation briefly touches on trolls in the comments. The speaker confirms they received Kevin's flight information via email and will screenshot it. A comparison of gas prices is made: 30,000 VND per liter in Vietnam (about $1.15 USD), equating to roughly $4.60 per gallon. A coworker in the USA reported seeing gas prices as high as $6.50 in the Bay Area, California. The speaker expresses a desire to drive their car, have a Costco hot dog, a real burger, and real pizza, and Mexican food, things they miss from back home. A couple, Peter and his wife, approach the speaker, expressing their appreciation for his YouTube channel and offering him cashews, which he notes is his preferred brand. They discuss how long they've been in the area (almost a month) and the difficulty of finding accommodation, particularly at the Mona Lisa, which is always booked. They mention that they managed to find a good deal on a hotel for three days for $26, despite it having no elevator, as it's in a familiar neighborhood. The conversation shifts to train travel. There's a "Heritage Train" (HD2) that takes almost 4 hours, and another tourist train that is shorter (3 hours) and cheaper (100,000 VND), saving about an hour and half the price. The Heritage Train goes along the coast and makes extra stops. They discuss booking tickets, either online through DSVN or at the train station, where it might be cheaper. Passports are required when booking tickets at the station. They discuss food preferences, with a mention of sweets. The speaker shares a trick of finding cheaper hotel prices by searching on Google Maps, though it didn't work for them recently. They also discuss a food court at Go Market, which the speaker had not noticed before. They enjoy the pastries there. They also frequent the Lot Park for its movie theater and bowling, though they don't find the food court there very good. The speaker recounts finding their "TR talk lady" (likely a food vendor) after she had been missing for two years, having moved her entire location. They express appreciation for her coconut ice cream, noting it's very good and affordable (30,000 VND for a big bowl, or 10,000 for a scoop, 20,000 for a bowl with less ice cream and no "meat"). A local couple shares that they are from the south of Vietnam, near the Cambodian border, about 50 km away. They live in Michigan, USA, and have a son who is a nurse living in Chicago, who will be visiting the Philippines this year and then Vietnam. Fluffy mentions finding a Filipino restaurant called Manila Corner, which serves common Filipino dishes like Sinigang, Adobo, and Kare-kare. The speaker enjoys spring rolls. They joke about Filipino and Indian parents encouraging their children to become nurses or doctors. The speaker discusses their passport, which expires in 2029. They plan to do a bus visa run tomorrow to get another page stamped and might fly out for the next two. They believe they have enough pages left (9 or 10) to stretch it. If renewal is needed while in Vietnam, they prefer to do it there rather than returning to the USA, citing the high cost of a trip back. The speaker wraps up, thanking everyone and reminding them that they will be doing the bus border run tomorrow.
