Da Nang vs Hoi An. My Dad’s First Impressions - Vietnam

A British coffee connoisseur visits Hoi An for the first time, comparing it to Da Nang through honest, unfiltered reactions. The vlog captures a day of exploring Hoi An's rice fields on wobbly bicycles, sampling egg coffee and salt coffee at local cafes, and experiencing custom-made sandals and tailoring on the famous tailor street. The father's initial complaint about Vietnamese coffee not meeting his standards is addressed with a siphon-brewed tasting that wins him over. The video contrasts Da Nang's modern, spacious feel with Hoi An's intimate, historic charm, emphasizing that neither is better but each suits different preferences. Practical takeaways include the ease of ordering custom leather sandals (choose sole, straps, material, and buckle color) and the theatrical siphon coffee method at Poison Coffee. The vlog also touches on the emotional reassurance of having family visit and enjoy life abroad, making it relatable for those considering a move or trip to central Vietnam.
