Hi, it's an interesting video for us Vietnamese too! There's a few things I want to expand on: 1) About the personality of Northern vs Southern Vietnamese: it actually wasn't due to the war. Hundreds of years before the French even came to Vietnam, the difference was already established and every Vietnamese know it: the Northern people are hard to please, Middle people are frugal, while Southern people are easy-going. The reason is geography, the Northern land is harder to farm and they also have to deal with Chinese invasion for millenia, so Northern personality got harden by comparison. In the Middle of Vietnam, due to constant destruction by storms and flood, the people there regularly have to conserve everything they have. In the South, the Mekong delta is extremely fertile for food production, lesser threat of Chinese and virtually no threat of nature, easy sea trade with many neighbouring countries, so the Southern people have always been more laid back and accepting, not only to foreigners but also to Vietnamese from other provinces. Of course, it's only the exterior vibe that is different, most Vietnamese have the same level of hospitality and curiosity in foreigners on the inside. The easy test: try speaking Vietnamese, everywhere you go in Vietnam, you'll get happy compliments, or if you fall off your bike, any Vietnamese will immediately rush to you to help and even bring you to the hospital for free. 2) About ugly things such as men riding by and grab women's breast: unfortunately it's true and it happened to me once. It's not an extremely common thing but it does happen, just like murders. Fortunately, also just like murders, the percentage of such accidents in the population is really small compared to other countries. Vietnam is a safe country to travel, even for solo female travelers, and I have never feel dangerous walking inside any big city of Vietnam at night.

Vị trí hồ hữu tiệp, ngọc Hà nơi có xác B 52 rơi,

Thanks for sharing. Wonder where Henry is now.

It was the early '90s, and the sun was setting, casting a golden hue over the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. A young, more adventurous version of myself decided to take a solo boat trip along the winding river, a decision both exhilarating and slightly reckless. The water was calm, the surroundings serene, but as darkness descended, the treacherous turns of the river became less discernible. Panic set in when the motor stuttered, then died. I was stranded in the heart of the delta, surrounded only by the eerie sounds of nocturnal animals and my increasingly frantic heartbeat. Suddenly, another sound cut through the night: the distant murmur of a conversation. Rowing towards it, I stumbled upon a dilapidated hut standing on stilts in the water. A tall man with rugged western features stood there, speaking fluent Vietnamese with an elderly local. He introduced himself as Henry, an American journalist who had stayed back after the war, captivated by the country's culture and people. Seeing my plight, Henry tinkered with my boat's engine, all while sharing tales of his adventurous life in Vietnam. As we worked under the stars, he recounted stories of danger, of love, of moments when he felt he was one with the land. It was clear that Vietnam was no longer just a country for Henry, but home. Dawn broke as the boat roared back to life, thanks to Henry's expertise. We parted ways with a handshake, a nod, and a smile. The experience served as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of adventures and the bonds formed in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Great tourist selfies. Thanks for filming yourself so much, very interesting. Keep up the good work!

Hey tclit love this vid, helped me alot, been to Danang and hochi, and vungtao

Đình is the village hall, where people in the past did meetings, judgement, collecting tax , performing folk songs, and ritual work. Chùa is the pagoda.

Extra comment to sizzle the algorithm. :)

Keep them coming brother Tal 🤙🤙

Thank you for showing. ///🫡

No. Viet Cong (National Liberation Front, NLF) did not start in the North, it actually started in the South. The North is where CHARLIES are (NVA, North Vietnamese Army). Just saying.

Far from fluent but awesome to see foreigners trying to learn it :)

I would love to hear the spy story, hope you do it. 😊🤣

Wow gringo learning 🇻🇳 hahaha all teacher here don’t even bothered to learn it 😅

"Young buffalo" :) I've never heard of this translation before, but you can imagine how young people nowadays talk like hip hop "language."

I hope you also meet up with Max McFarlin and Chris Lewis.

Wow that man knows his Vietnamese!

If you wanna collab with a foreginer and a youtuber that speak fluent vietnamese- check out Chris Lewis. His vietnamese is insanely good. Im vietnamese that been living in Sweden since childhood- I still speak some vietnamese and can handle myself around. But Chris Lewis vietnamese beats mine by a long shot 😂

👍

South vietnam fought for freedom of being a democracy

I luve you long time....hahaha...oh yeah.

No Henry does not speak fluent Vietnamese. Nó does not mean “it”. It is a pronoun of he/she.

❤

good

Of course not all vietnamese guys do that, but a lot of them "play" like that with little condemnation by the people. I would say it's less of a crime than a small robbery. It doesn't happen that often, but it seems like everyone has at least seen that once.

HCM is much more vibrant compared to Hanoi. Whatever the grabbing of whatever he talked about should have been reported to the police. I doubted that behavior is condoned to any society!

4:51 when the north took over the south post war that was pretty bad for some, among many things. the country is pretty safe and prosperous now and stable . It would be better if you don't discuss the political stuff because there are those that live abroad that lived through the war and/or postwar and doesn't like the vietcong very much. most vietnamese abroad honestly don't care because they're not living there anymore and they care more about helping their family and giving their family a better life. people from different regions of vn are very respectful and welcoming to everyone. everyone is just trying to live their lives and make sure their kids got a good future.

INSANE!

Các bạn Tây sống ở Việt nam vứt tiếng việt , có việc làm Lương ăn là ok roi Việt Nam rất thoải mái nha

11:15 Weird guy grabbing other people stuffs doesn't set rules for any countries. Wondering if he still think it is "their country their rules" after 3+ years living there.

Sorry to say this but the white dude has nothing Jewish in him, eating pork and marrying vitamins is nothing Jewish, action speaks loader than. Other than that love your videos my Israeli brother Tal, respect for you for the amazing representation all over the world ❤❤.

They are not Vietnamese citizens, and they are not supposed to stay long. The police should check their visas often. Lol

Signature bun cha is not anything to be passionate about because an innocent pig has been raised in a horrible factory farm, suffering daily with wounds and infections and then brutally murdered slowly... we should all go vegan and set a good example in Vietnam, stand for the animals....so simple to just replace that dead pig with tofu or mushroom and keep the other ingredients and cultural flavor. It is not tempting to try that horror. Thank you for supporting jew, muslim, vegan people.
