When I think of #Vietnam, I think of "Water" everything from the rains, to the floods, the water puppets, to flexible "watery" nature of the people. Also, the Water you need to make the best coffee I've ever had in my life. Can't give enough thanks to all the Vietnamese geograpeeps that helped with this one especially those I met and are featured in the video! ALSO!

Fun fact: Related to the "watery" feel of Vietnam, the Vietnamese word for country is "nước", which literally means water

@Sonnen_Licht Ай бұрын

For anyone who's wondering how "water" could be related to "country", "nước" is a clipping of "đất nước" meaning "country", but literally means "land & water".

@thevannmann Ай бұрын

The colloquial word is nước which is a shortening of đất nước (land + water) but a more formal way to say country is Sino-Vietnamese quốc gia (國家).

Vietnam is such a majestic nation. many of us overlook the nation for its devastating conflict with the US in the 50s to the 70s, but it is far more than that which meets the eye. Vietnam has more than 100 million people who you can find living in some of the most vibrant, bustling cities like Hanoi or ho chih minh, while you can find Lucious green miles of untouched rainforests, rolling fields and crystal waters. It is truly a nation of contrast. Not just that but Vietnam has outstanding cuisine, arts, wildlife, culture, tradition and hospitable people. I love Vietnam, love from Trinidad and Tobago!!! 🇻🇳❤🇹🇹

For the "Best Friends" section, Laos is definitely considered to be Vietnam's best friend. Many Laotians move to Vietnam to study in various fields such as healthcare, and many Laotians can speak Vietnamese after just a year or two of living there. Laos was also subject to heavy bombing campaigns by the Americans because of their role in helping the North Vietnamese army in securing logistical support. I can't think of a country that Vietnam is closer to than Laos.

I’m from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I disagree with the point that Thailand 🇹🇭 people are friendlier than Vietnamese 🇻🇳 People . In my opinion, in general (not all,) Thai people are friendlier towards Caucasian people of darker complexions like me. When I first traveled to VN 🇻🇳 I found that people were genuinely nice and friendly. A few sellers I spoke to were happy to know that I am from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, apparently, people from India have a bad reputation for bargaining down to the last cent (Doesn’t help me when I look like I am from India) I found that it was much easier making Vietnamese 🇻🇳 friends Than Thai friends. I never got some warm feeling in Thailand 🇹🇭. So that is one of the reasons I became a fan of Vietnam 🇻🇳 and I keep returning. This is just my personal view.

33:02 as a Vietnamese, I would say Vietnam's best friend is Lao, not Cambodia, Vietnam-Cambodia relationship is like that of Vietnam-China but reverse, but Cambodia is the one hating Vietnam for various reasons, but Vietnam doesn't really care much about Cambodia. In general, the two kinda hate each other, but it's not a love-hate relationship. Vietnam certainly has extended influence on cambodian government though, so it might be where the misunderstanding came from. Lao on the other hand, helped Vietnam a lot during the Vietnam war, evidenced with the Ho Chi Minh trail and they even got bombed heavily on behalf of us, and the people of both countries got on well with each other, with none of the conflicts that Cambodia might have with Vietnam.

The wait is well worth it Side note: not mentioning football in the sport section of vietnam is very bruh Side note 2: If i have to say what country would be vietnam "bestfriend" politically, Laos and Cuba are up there. Laos is seen kinda like the little brother of Vietnam, alot of Laotian go to Vietnam for study and many integrated themselves into Vietnamese society. Cuba have been Vietnam closest allies since the cold war, both are communist, both share suffering from foreign attempt military intervention (US) and trade embargo (US). Vietnam is slowly getting better of than Cuba due to opening up trade, Vietnam now send aids to Cuba and many Vietnamese study medicine in Cuba due to Cuba having a advance medical industry (relatively to us). Cuba was probably one the biggest supporter and aid Vietnam alot during all 3 Indochina (against the french, the american and the chinese), now that they need our help, we willing to lend a hand to pay back the decades of support they gave to us.

10:37 About the close-door policy before 1986, or we usually call "Thời bao cấp". I once asked my grandfather, who used to serve in the North Vietnam Army (NVA), about his thought on the decision keeping the close-door policy until 1986 by Lê Duẩn. He said, at that time, Vietnamese people had to fight: - Cambodian-Vietnamese War (or the Red Khmer led by Pol Pot) from 1975 until 1989. Red Khmer was backed up by the Chinese government, which eventually led to the next war with China. - Vietnamese-Chinese border war (1979), fight against the Chinese (was backed up by the American) in the North border with China. Although officially the war ended in March 1979, the Chinese still messed around the Vietnamese border with the ambition of taking down Vietnamese government in later years, which forced Vietnam focusing huge amount of military force in the North border, always in ready state for the next invasion from China Having to manage the resources for these two wars, plus the suspicion for the Western country (mainly the American and their allies), Vietnamese government had to play safe with the close-door policy, only traded with the communist allies except China. From the history point of view, maybe some people might argue that Vietnamese government should had use the open-door policy sooner by a few years but that decision would be too risky to decide, rather late than sorry. If God don't play dice, so does the leaders at the top level of Vietnamese government.

Ukraine interestingly has a somehow stable relationship with Vietnam. One Vietnamese businessman became literally the richest man in the entire Vietnam when he brought to Ukraine quick noodles packets (highly popular in Asia, but at that time it was a "mind-blowing" technology" in eastern Europe) and named it "Mivina" (translated from Vietnamese as "Vietnamese noodles"). for this day few generations grew up in Ukraine calling every single type of quick noodles package as "mivina". also a lot of Vietnamese clothes factories sell their products here. and it is considered as some good quality products. hell, we even have an entire type of slippers called "vietnamki" because Vietnamese "shuttle traders" brought them here.

Great video! Some things that are technically correct but are rather from a Westerner/tourist viewpoint: - The overemphasis on Champa kingdom - The overemphasis on “Vietnam trilogy” - Mentioning badminton but not football - The “no restrction” on building’s height - Water puppetry (traditional yess, but VERY touristy)

"đồng bào" is the word from the story of the origin of Vietnamese people named "Con Rồng Cháu Tiên". It means all Vietnamese people are have one mother Âu Cơ and one father Lạc Long Quân. To know more you shoud read this story.

I find one crucial thing the video forgot to mention about religion is the "Ancestor worshipping faith" of Vietnameses, which I have never seen any family here that doesn't practice. Like its name, each Vietnamese family or the family of the elder son of the lineage has pictures of deceased grand parents or great grandparents on altar in their house to worship. Nonetheless this is an amazing video that covered many charms of Vietnam, I really can feel the effort and sincerity in it.

10:27 the death of Lê Duẩn does not lead to the Đổi mới reform, he is the one that started the Đổi Mới reform during the 5th national assembly (1982) when he famously critique the Soviet economy model and kick start the reform Without Lê Duẩn there would be no reform, nobody got the gut to tell the Soviet theyre wrong at that time, his successor Nguyễn Văn Linh only continue where he left off Lê Duẩn speech at the very openning of the national assembly where Nguyễn Văn Linh was elected to replace him which was the 6th assembly in 1986 where he reaffirmed the commitment to reform that he made in 1982, he only died a month after that Lê Duẩn image of "evil communist dictator that held back developement" is just revisionist thing that is spread mainly by Chinese descended people because he cracked down on them during the Sino-Vietnamese war

@JavierSalcedoC Ай бұрын

fun fact: the main foreign leader that Ho wanted to meet to liberate the country was US president Wilson, but a meeting was never arranged. It was a pure matter of luck that he ended up meeting a middle-grade soviet oligarch and history wanted Vietnam to go that way

@duythinh252 Ай бұрын

Hell yeah, even the CIA were in Vietnam back in the time when the Vietnamese were fighting against the French and the Japanese for the control of the North. It was all the American decision to lead history that way!

@Heylanda-fb9xb Ай бұрын

It was unlucky though. Since USA actually did not wish for South East Asian nations to be liberate from western nations at all due to the fears of Chinese communist influence flooding the continent and fear of losing a supply route to 2 most important Asian nations at the time, Japan and British Raj (India). In 1950s, USA was more likely to aid France in destroying the Viet Cong than supporting Vietnamese liberation fighters. And they did, sending tons of money and equipment to the French.

In Moscow there is a shopping mall and hotel called Hanoi-Moscow that i used to go often for Vietnamese food and froots. Vietnamese food is very popular in Russia. And one of my core memories is Vietnamese balm called Golden star, it was very popular then.

@chaitalismusings Ай бұрын

Visited Vietnam last year and what surprised me the most is how the country has developed within almost 30 to 40 years of an intense civil war. The roads were great, the trains were good (we took the overnight train from Hanoi to Da Nang), the food was fantastic and the people were very friendly. Coming from India, the chaotic nature of the street didn't really overwhelm me as we are used to our cities. I loved Hanoi more than Ho Chi Min and found Hoi Ann to be a tourist trap. It would have been better if we stayed in one of the many beachside hotels in Danang! But the best part of my trip was the cruise in Ha Long Bay. The bay is really beautiful and at night it does look spectacular. If I have to go back, I will go back to Hanoi, the more northern parts and Danang. And I will take the train again because that view of the sea and cliffs as the train winded down the tunnels and hills is something to remember for a lifetime. People say Vietnam is a cheap destination, but as Indians we found it to be moderately priced. The fruits especially the dragon fruit, and other specific SE Asian fruits were cheap, otherwise at the same price as India. The Ban than market in Ho Chi Min wasn't cheap either, but yes the quality of clothes at that price point is better than those in India. Street food was cheap, I especially loved Bun Cha, but sometimes the herbs can be too much!! Vegetarians and Vegans will have a hard time here because almost every dish has fish sauce in it.

@tntkit 11 күн бұрын

I'd say we have a lot of options for vegetarians, since the major religion here is buddhism. You can find a lot of those eateries with the word "chay" usually written big on the sign, and they have a lot of options, ranging from various toppings for rice, noodles, to even hotpots. And there are also vegetarian version of the non vegetarian dishes too like com tam, pho, bun bo hue, etc. And if you're still having trouble finding an eatery, try to find a pagoda. 90% chance there'll be a vegetarian place near it.

Very good video, here’s a few little historical corrections: 1) Lê Duẩn, despite being a hardliner, gave the go ahead for the đôi mỗi reforms shortly before his death, so like in China where Mao repaired relations with the US, both dictators paved the way for reforms before their successors. 2) Ho Chi Minh died during the war in 1969, so he had no say in how a reunified Vietnam came about. He was, of course, all about unity, and serves as unifying figure for the country, but he was most definitely a communist as well, not only a nationalist. 3) The friend zone part was done well, but Cambodia is probably the wrong choice - there is a lot of bad blood due to ethnic massacres of Vietnamese and Vietnam’s occupation. Probably the ‘correct’ answer is actually Laos.

14:52 actually, hủ tiếu nam vang, despite its Vietnamese-sounding name, isn’t technically Vietnamese originally. In fact, it is even in the name. Nam Vang is actually the Vietnamese name for Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The dish, therefore, translates to “Phnom Penh rice noodle soup”. This is because the noodle soup dish created by the Teochew Chinese who migrated to Cambodia. With that being said, by the time the Vietnamese got a taste, it was so good that it became widely popular in Vietnam.
