    Thanks for watching our epic Vietnam road trip! Now time to test your world knowledge. I'll give the quickest correct commenter a shout out my next video! Question below...
    QUESTION: Ban Gioc Detian Falls are the 4th largest border waterfall in the world. Can you name the 3 larger ones? (no cheating now... 👀)

    We ended up camping right there in the corner near the side falls - in 2014 four of us from Guangzhou took our bicycles on a night bus to the border at Ping Xiang/Lang Son, and rode about 3/4 days to reach Ban Gioc falls. We arrived at the falls around dusk, so the area was empty, and also this was during Tet new year when most businesses are closed as well. We decided to walk on in and no one stopped us or seemed to notice us, so we decided to just set up our tents over there in the quiet corner.

The views are amazing but yeah the bus that kept stopping to collect mail probably would have made me so carsick. I've probably asked this before so excuse my poor memory but how do you do the text effects where you keep the titles in place on the screen? I love homestays! That was how I travelled Sri Lanka and there's something so special about staying at the homes of the locals. Eeew that tiny entrance tot he cave makes me feel so claustrophobic. I'd be happy to battle through that though to see the awesome cave. Curious to know how far behind realtime this was shot? Are you still travelling at the moment? Sorry for the influx of questions haha!
