  Hostel, a word that rhymes with borstal (a juvenile detention facility). &nbsp;And in real life, not much different, imo. &nbsp;But I met a guy in Thailand who was fond of staying in hostels there. &nbsp;&quot;But It&apos;s only 4 dollars a night!&quot; he&apos;d tell me. That&apos;s great for him, but he was in his 20s. &nbsp;I&apos;m way past that, and having my own room and bathroom is a must.<br><br>As usual, another great video packed with useful content.

  Money is important but hearing your tips and talking points is telling me that mindset&gt;money.

  Honestly, i need a bed, bathroom, flushing toilet, electricity, phone, and most importantly peace...don&apos;t drink or smoke. &nbsp;Only eat three times a day...lol

  It&apos;s possible because the average individual vientames income is $300 a month. I&apos;m a chinese who immigrated to the US, and I lived on $1200 a month in the US during graduate school and residency, which most Americans would be screaming &quot;umpossible&quot; when it is very possible when you live like a frugal asian in Asia. 😅

  Loved the pic of Rilay, Tonsai and Pranang Beach. Stayed there for 4 months back in 06 rock climbing. Unreal spot back then.

  Your Pho story reminds me of New York, Manhattan. I was around the corner from the Carnegie Deli, where a Rubin sandwich would set you back $20. However, if I turned left and crossed over to 8th, the same sandwich was now $6.50 (splurged an extra $1 to get it as a hoagie ;)

  The dude in the background at the end seems very interested in who you are. I love what I&apos;ve discovered about Vietnam, you get some real freedom and nice people there. I would definitely be a $500/mo man bun kinda guy!
