Yeah tea drinking is a very 
common practice here in Vietnam. I’ve noticed everyone pours you a hot cup of tea. Ooh. Very strong. Very bitter. Nice and creamy. Thank you. And I love towns where the main road just 
looks like it goes straight into the mountains. Looks like you got what I need, man. Boom. All right, found the fruit stand. Got the fruit. We’re ready to go. I got some mangoes, the soursop, I think is 
what it’s called, and uh couple dragon fruits. Oh, look at that. Is that a snake or an eel? What is that? Did it escape from the market somewhere? Like that’s a that’s a funky looking guy. Okay. All loaded up. There’s my sticker. Oh, he just threw my sticker down on the ground. Oh, my sticker. My sticker. Hello. What do you have? Oh, tapioca. No, yeah, that’s me. That looks good. Ah, but.

Thank you. All right. Beautiful town. Beautiful people. Man, got to love the countryside. Got to love the vibes out here, man. So much better than those touristy towns, man. On the road again, seeing things 
that I may never see again. What is this plywood? What? Just a bunch of strips of uh wood right here. Yeah, never seen that. And I cannot decipher this sign right here. What is that trying to tell me? I’ve seen that same sign 
without the stripe through it. Where you from? America. Perfect English. Got to love it, man. Got to love it. Beautiful out here. All right. A new province. Maybe a new city. Crazy. 100%. This was the site of a landslide right here. Mudslide. So, there’s been a lot of 
rain lately in this area. And the town that I’m going, I was looking at a video last night on 
YouTube and it was completely flooded. I think a dam broke or something and 
just completely flooded an entire area. I don’t know if it’s if it’s the area 
that I’m going to, but we’ll see. But, man, you can tell right here. Took out the guardrail right there. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. So, got to be careful, though. We got blue skies. It’s sunny. And the forecast calls for no rain. So, we should be good. Should be good. It’s not stopping that guy 
from going fishing down there. I tell you what. I mean, I know I’m going to do this a lot here. I’m going to stop like, “Wow, 
look how beautiful it is. Can’t help myself.” And I don’t know, to be honest, I 
thought I would find more houses that look like this one on the 
bottom here throughout Vietnam. Instead, you find houses like that. And so, a lot of beautiful homes out 
here, even out in the countryside. See, here is that same sign 
without the mark through it. Looks like another happening little town here. Cho means dog, but it also 
the O could be different. So, I don’t know. We’ll see what’s going on back here. They’re kind of laughing at me. Let’s just go see what’s going on back here. All right. So, I’ve been wanting to 
buy one of these actually. How much 5? I think it’s only 50. It’s too small. Yeah. Too I need a I got a I got big big head. Big head. big. She’s like, “What are you talking about, dude?” Okay. Oh, I like that one. I like the leather strap. Five mam. Okay. Oh, cuz it’s a It’s a lot better quality. That’s why. I think I’m just going to go with the 50. I think I’m just going to go with the 50. They got a little pharmacy right here. Even you can come get your clothes. Hi. Hello. Yeah, man. I don’t know if I need that, though. Get your shovels and tools and Yeah, 
I’m not that hardcore, unfortunately. Come get your popcorn. But man, I love this building here. It looks uh like it was built maybe 
during the French colonial period. Super old. Maybe Cho just means market. Turn it into a little department store. Come get your clothes, which 
they’re all new here, too. Check it out. Burerry Hello. Burerry, not Burberry. Gucci, do Cabana. Adidas, North Face, you they got all the brands. I see all the old-timers. They’re wearing the the 
hat with the leather strap. So, I might as well just 
get the the proper real one. It’s only 150. Yeah.
I want to change the good one. Yeah. Yeah. What’s your name? My name is Nick. Nick.
Nick. Nick. Nick.
Nick. What’s your name? My name is Nick. My name H. All right. Got a little hill here, but 
I got some cheerleaders. Hey, I’ve picked up a posse It’s a bridge. You know what that means? Turn the camera on. And looks like we’re going 
into another small town. Nice and sunny today. It’s getting hotter by the minute. It’s only 10:45, so be nice 
to have lunch sooner or later. Hey, we can stop in a little safer. Hey, nice to meet you guys. Good to meet you. Peace out. Yeah, it’s funny. Every once in a while I’ll ride by someone, they 
wave at me, and then they’ll get on their bikes and hug me down, say hello, take a picture, and 
if they do that, then they deserve a sticker. I think my first Red Bull. Awesome. Thank you guys. Goodbye. Bye. I haven’t had a Red Bull in probably 3 years. I honestly can’t remember the last time. I try to stay away from energy 
drinks, but they taste different here. They taste even more harmful. Goodbye. See you again. Jeez. Now that is a load right there. Wow. Hello. Hello. Hello. I’m not sure what this is, but 
that lady just gave it to me. Okay. It looks like porridge, too, with corn in it. And then I guess these are some nuts. Uhhuh. Okay. Okay. Some nuts. Okay. It’s not sweet at all. Oh, I guess there’s that’s the sugar. I didn’t order this. Okay. Ah, so I think it has some. So, no. Hey, there’s two little boys or girls. That might be a girl. Hello. Girl. Okay. Girl and boy. Hello. cutie Okay.
So, maybe there’s sugar mixed in in it. Hello. Hi. Hello. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You’re looking at me like, who are you? Okay. They kind of look the same. It’s time for me to eat. All right. Is this your mama? Go back to mama. Hey, now this one’s hot though. Oh, this one has more of like a a 
chicken and dumplings flavor to it. Yeah, this tastes exactly like chicken 
and dumplings without the dumplings. So, yeah, all the all the pores obviously 
are going to taste a little bit different. They’re not going to be the same. So, even if I had this for dinner last 
night and I have it for lunch today, two different restaurants, two different 
styles, I think it’s going to be okay. Not the easiest thing to eat, but 
this will give me some real power. This is like nothing but protein right here. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day. And the name of this place, Amazing. Beautiful people, good food. If you’re in this small 
little town, come say hello. All right. Ah, we got some kite flyers. Nice. Appreciate it. Sting number one. Sting is number one. Better than Red Bull. Very good. Okay, appreciate it. I’ll put that right there. The jackfruit. Dang. My name is Nick. Wow. I mean, I’ve seen jackfruit sold 
at the fruit market and uh yeah, but I’ve never seen a tree 
full of jackfruit like this. Look at the size of those things, man. My name is Nick. Hello, boys. Crazy. Big. Big. Let’s see here. Wow. I’m from America. Nice to meet you guys. Nice to meet you. I will say the kids have been extremely friendly. I haven’t seen one middle finger. I haven’t seen one like jokingly, 
you know, telling me to f off. Um, you know, you do see that 
sometimes in other countries. I think it’s a lot of times it’s the young 
boys like just maybe copying their older brothers or maybe they heard it 
on TV or in a in a movie or whatever. But honestly, I haven’t had one kid like 
flip me off or say anything derogatory. They’ve all been super friendly. Hey, hey, hey, give me the peace sign. Is that a vape? I think that’s a vape. Little too young for that, but see you guys. I think that was a vape in his hand. Getting hunted down again. These these boys came from a long ways away. I’m a good I don’t know five kilometers from town. Nick Yeah. Nice to meet you. Yeah. Yeah. You want a sticker? Hold on. Let me give let me give you

can be kind of exhausting   because you become the center of attention. God, I have cotton mouth, man. I think too too many sugary drinks today. And then that sake back there 
didn’t help that rice wine. Oh, buddy, you need a bath. Oh, man. You see a lot of that in Vietnam, too. You see the cutest small dogs just 
roaming around like the the cuddle, snuggly type dogs that should be on a couch 
somewhere like snuggling up with uh somebody. Hey.
Hey. But they’re out here roaming 
around and they need a nice bath. They need a nice grooming. I like this. Every once in a while, a kid will 
just ride with me for, I don’t know,   10, 15 minutes and be like, “All right, peace.” I like the I enjoy the company, man. Thank you. Hey, we got two more. Okay. picture. Picture. Okay. You’re making deliveries. That’s what you’re doing. Ah, okay. Good luck. Nice to meet you. Yeah.

don’t know 350 almost uh 400 meter climb. Shouldn’t be too bad, but All right. So, first of all, I really hope this 
road uh leads me to where I need to go. It’s kind of off the main 
road, but by going this way, by going this way, I don’t have 
to go over an extra mountain. And so I get to hug the mountain and 
hopefully at the last minute to go over it. Hello. And it might give me another 
might give me another opportunity. How are you? Hello. I’m happy. Giggly kids. Um yeah, might give me another 
opportunity to go through a small village. Hopefully. Nice little school. Hopefully the road doesn’t cut 
out on me like it did last time. But uh back there I noticed there were 
some flags and people wearing bandanas and uh apparently it’s just for a funeral. Gorgeous. What a day. What a day here in Vietnam. I have to tell you been a wonderful day. Wow, he’s got a fully roasted pig over here. Look at that. Wow. Wow. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. The the entire entire village came out. Hello. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Where am I? What What is the name of this village? What’s your name? What’s the name? No, my name is Nick. Let me see here. What is the name of your village? Nice to meet you all. I wish you all the best. I will see you later. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. See you. Incredible. I mean, honestly, I have no worries like being 
stranded somewhere in one of these small little town, small little villages, you know, just based 
off the welcoming and uh the reaction of people. Like it’s one of those things if I 
was broken down, my bike was busted,   I guarantee you they would open up their 
house to me and and that’s honestly a very wonderful feeling knowing that 
people are here just so kind and   uh seeing nothing but smiles, nothing 
but nothing but good vibes to be honest. And uh I’ve got me another posse I love it, man. And they live in a beautiful place, too. Look at this. Are you kidding me? Hey, you guys live in a beautiful place. See you. Yes. Thanks for your help. Thanks for uh they gave me 
a push actually up one hill. See you guys. Take care. They followed me probably further than anyone else today. See you guys. I dropped off two bikes and uh picked up one. Oh man, I think. Oh, no. It’s this way. Okay, good. I thought my route was that way. No, it’s not. Got a little scared there. Come on, guys. Push. Push. Come on, guys. Can’t beat that, man. Hey.
Hey. You guys deserve it, man. Thank you. Legends, man. Surprise. Do you already have one? Thank you. Oh, right here. Man, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thanks for pushing me up the hill. You guys are legends, man. again. Got to love the love here. It’s been incredible Wow. You know, just out for an evening 
stroll with my water buffalo. Ay. And that is what’s scary, right? How is this going to work? She going to slap his butt. Yeah. Get on over there. Don’t mind me, guys. And look at the rice terrace is beautiful. It’s really flat and peaceful 
and feels so good right now. But I have one more climb to go. Hopefully, it’s not as bad as uh what I just did. And I don’t have them kids to help me 
push my bike up the mountain either. And I would say today I finally felt 
it that feeling like man you are out there you know like you got to work to get here. Not many people come here and uh coming 
to places like this is just special. It’s different. Feels different. Oh those are big animals. I’ll let them go where they want to go. Man, this is like the final boss of the day. I’ve got about I don’t know 
half a half a kilometer left. We got this. We got this. Man, the only thing on my mind for the 
past 15, 20 minutes were these mangoes. I was like, just get to the top and we’re 
going to enjoy probably both of these mangoes. Hopefully they’re good. I’ve been saving them for this moment. Yep.
A little early. As you can see, I’m losing daylight. All right, 24 kilometers left. Still got a ways to go. Let’s get there. Ah, feels so good. Getting a little sloppy over here. Pretty muddy. What do we have here? What’s up, dog? Hello. No. Food. Food sounds amazing. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Vietnam. Vietnam. Ah, thank you. Nick, my name is Nick. My name. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, let’s go eat. Let’s go eat. I’m very thirsty. Okay. I’m very very thirsty. Thank you. Thank you. Your name company? My name is Nick. Nick. Nick. Okay. I’m from America. America. Nice to meet you. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Nice to meet you. Wow. Hello. Okay. Vietnam today. Today happy happy day. Happy happy. Oh man. Hello. Okay.
Okay. Okay. No, there’s no way. No way. No.
No. No.
No. Again. All I want is water. around. All right. Okay. Okay. in the ground. You’re going to hear my voice 
when I shout it out loud. I don’t Only one song. Huh? One song. One song. One song. No, no, no. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. I’m Thank you. I got enough food. Yes. Okay. Come on. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Come here. I see you. Thank you, man. What an experience. Are you kidding me? That was crazy. Okay, I’m finally getting close to my destination. I’m on the I’m on the main road here, but I don’t 
think I need to be on it for long, which is good. Okay, so I’m pretty much on 
the outskirts of town by now. Finally. Now, we just need to find a hotel. Lang Son, I made it. Mhm. Yep. That’s exactly what it looks like. I was uh cycling down the road and I saw kimbap 
and I saw tteokbokki and I was like, why the hell not? Let’s see how Vietnamese kimbap and tteokbokki holds up. Let’s see here. You get chili sauce, mayonnaise, maybe ketchup. That’s a big Hmmm Obviously very different. Very different. They put that shaved uh I think 
it’s shaved pork in there. Man, I tell you what, that was not it. That was not the dinner I should have had, but 
it’s about the only thing today that missed. Today was fantastic. Unbelievable day. Stick to the local Vietnamese food, Nick. Unless it’s like a really fancy Korean restaurant. Probably not a good idea to try it. I kind of walked right into that one, man. I couldn’t I couldn’t finish the 
day with a sorry dinner like that. That was not a very good kimbap and tteokbokki So found a hotel, showered up, cleaned up, walked the streets a little bit, found this place. She was grilling up some delicious looking bread. I love it when they lather 
it up with the sauce, too. She got some chicken feet and I don’t 
know, chicken skewers over there. And I was like, can you make a couple chicken bahn mi And she was like, she just shook her head. And these came out. And let me tell you, they’re freaking delicious. Very simple. Grilled chicken, cilantro, delicious bread. Way better. Home. Sweet home. Oh my gosh. What a day. I think today might be easily my 
favorite day here in Vietnam so far. Uh just an incredible day. One of those days that kind of reminds me. This is why I like to travel. This is why I like to do YouTube. Just crazy. Uh one of the hardest days cycling over 100 kilometers. But man, from start to finish, met so many amazing people. Um, just I don’t know, it was 
just one of those great days. And uh, it kind of finished kind of rough 
like being in the dark, not being able to see. The dark sucks because you miss out on so much. Like I was in such a beautiful area 
and all all you can see is the road. Like luckily I have a good light and 
so the only thing you can really see   is just in front of you and it’s just pitch dark. Hardly any street lights and so the the 
worst part about the the darkness is yes of course it’s dangerous but at the same time like 
you’re just missing all the beauty around you. Uh everything was good. Great day. Um I think this will be an amazing video. At the same time, that doesn’t 
mean it’s going to perform well. And so, if you enjoyed this video, please give it a like. Tell me what you liked about it. Leave your thoughts in the comment section below. And uh yeah, I think if I have more days like 
this, I’m going to love Vietnam even more. And so, great day. Anyways, signing off. I’m exhausted. See you in the next video. Peace. You hear that?

Wow, what a day! I biked 105 kilometers from Tay Yen Tu to Lang Son, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better ride. Everyone I met along the way was so friendly, young and old, just incredible people. Thank you Vietnam for the wonderful experience!
