  • Today we take you across the river for lunch at another great spot, Papa Steakhouse. Then we stroll through a new supermarket (kind of like a Costco) and compare some grocery prices, you won't believe what we paid for APPLES!! Then lastly, we take a stroll through the new DaNang Walking Street Market at night. It's a great place to hang out with a tea, coffee or ice cream! Hope you enjoy the stroll.
    Thank you so much for watching!

Here, it refers to your steaks that were invisible under the smothering sauce. My point was that the food serving portions in Vietnam (and most Asia) are so small that they don't need semaglutide like Ozempic over there.

      Nếu chó của bạn có kích cỡ nhỏ thì bạn có thể đưa nó đi dạo trên đường thoải mái mà không phải đeo rọ mõm, còn nếu chó của bạn to (big size) thì bạn phải đeo rọ mõm khi đưa nó đi dạo để phòng trường hợp nó cắn người khác. Đó là quy định chung. Nếu bạn sống ở nhà dưới mặt đất biệt lập thì bạn nuôi chó thoải mái miễn là nó không đi vệ sinh bừa bãi ở khu dân cư, còn căn hộ chung cư sẽ có nhiều nơi cho nuôi chó, mèo, nhiều nơi không cho nuôi vì vậy bạn muốn ở đâu thì nên hỏi trước

Mostly in SE Asia it’s either chop sticks or a Fork and a Spoon. How is it a ridiculous comment it’s a genuine question. Are you taught to use like this or is it just a bad habit picked up going through life.

      I guess you not accustomed to fine dining restaurants then! I was not suggesting you eat your steak with chop sticks i was pointing out the fact that in Most S E Asia countries they are most popular utensils along with fork and spoon. Usually only westerners would be served with a knife and fork. I honestly think it looks so awkward the way you are using a fork.
