The peanuts... Can't say I ever had it that way.

[–] Nanabaz2 7 points 7 months ago

For someone lives in the country since he was born, yea, me neither have mine with peanuts.

Looks a little dry tbh, but that can be hard to tell from a picture.

How do you close this? And where is the secret lard sauce?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You stick a knife in the middle, firmly close the top and slide out the knife.

It closed surprisingly easily. The bread was crunchy on the outside, but gave way easily on the inside. There were many small ingredients rather than a few big ones, so the sandwich was quite formable.

I'd like a video or gif of the banh mi closing

Oh alright. I ordered another one.

Also for me.

It looks tasty but it also looks expensive. I lived off of $2 bahn mi sandwiches when I first moved to LA. Now even the street tacos are expensive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I just buy $0.5 banh mi in Hanoi 💁

Fuck ya bro. I'm seven years in. How about you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Around 6 😂

No, I will not go with you to drink 🤣

Also, have you stayed here during covid? Because at that time it was really not many people, and everyone knows each other

[–] jo3jo3 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh I've been living in Danang and Hoi An the entire time.

No drink needed 😉 I'm riding in Laos at the moment so not there anyway.

I was there for probably that first year and half of COVID, until that summer they stopped renewing visas and told a lot of us to go home (I've been on tourist visas the entire time) Went to Mexico for six months, as soon as the borders opened I came running back within the week.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've been here, mostly in Hanoi the entire time

My good friend recently moved to Danang, next time for a visa run I would probably take a flight to Danang and then to the border there(because it's 150km)

We stayed here during covid the whole time, extensions, paid visas, illegally, with no money, it was fun 😂

[–] jo3jo3 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's about 250km each direction. Taking a bus or riding yourself, it pretty much takes the entire day to go and come back. Made that ride hundreds of times now.

I've also overstayed for months at a time 😅 Overstayed twice and was still able to do a visa run an come back same day 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not 150km???? Because it's 250km from Hanoi to Laos

Also, the road should be way way better

[–] jo3jo3 1 points 7 months ago

About 150 from Hue. And Hue is 100 from Danang. Roads are fine, it's a pretty beautiful journey out there.

The town on the other side in Laos isn't much though, and if you have to stay awhile to wait for the new visa it's going to get pretty boring. Lao Bao is military so it takes a few days to update your exit to immigration...

You have work visa or just doing tourist visas over and over?

[–] Regrettable_incident 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That looks great - except I see cucumber in there. Is it just me that finds the taste of cucumber really intrusive? Even if I pick it out I can still taste it on the stuff it's touched.

[–] HessiaNerd 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm with you. I can't stand cucumber.

[–] Regrettable_incident 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it tastes of abomination. Not too keen on the whole melon family TBH. I like gherkins though. I'll eat pretty much anything if it's pickled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Would you eat Pickle Rick?
