Inside Prague's LARGEST Vietnamese Market

Рет қаралды 17,661

Күн бұрын

This week we are visiting one of the most unique places in Prague - Sapa market, also known as Little Hanoi. This is the largest Vietnamese market in the Czech Republic and the heart of the Vietnamese community in Prague. Vietnamese are the third largest foreign group in Czechia. They first started to move here during the times of Communism to seek better work opportunities. Today, second and third-generation Vietnamese are fully integrated into Czech society. Nevertheless, Sapa market is the place where a lot of Vietnamese people work, come for wholesale shopping, or just hang out and eat delicious food. We are going to do the same in this video!

This was cool!! I had no idea there was a large Vietnamese community in Prague. I am always curious as to why anyone migrates, it's usually an interesting story. We have a large Vietnamese community here on the Texas coast. Most of them came here in the mid 70's as refugees, a result of the war there. Catholic charities would sponsor them. Now 40 years later their descendants are thriving and a great contribution to our community.

They were escaping communism , and I find it difficult to understand why so many young people in the US are supporting it . Brainwashing young people who are derived of history are easily persuaded.

@@supersonicsid5930 The first group who came to Prague in the 50's left a French colony and went to a Soviet Block Country. ? That won't get you away from communism. The one's who came in the 90's may have come to a newly freed country.

99% of Vietnamese living in post communist countries come from North Vietnam. They were students, contract workers and they stayed behind when Soviet Russia collapsed. When Berlin wall fell down, a lot of North Vietnamese fled to West Germany too. And 99% of Vietnamese living in "capitalist" countries are from South Vietnam.

First waves of Vietnamese were sent by communist governments to Czechoslovakia for education, to gain technical skills etc., many of them, however, remained here even after collapse of communism in Czechoslovakia and participated on growing private sector and market economy.

I never knew Prague had such a big Vietnamese community. I’ve been living in Vietnam for 10 years loving it for eight years but the last two years have been extremely difficult due to the Covid. Have not been to Sapa yet would like to go at Christmas as there’s a possibility of it snowing . Vietnam is the second biggest coffee exporters in the world I think they would be the biggest if they didn’t drink so much themselves. Thanks for the uploads

Late September time is still pretty much high season. Everything is opened, even the gardens, which usually close since 1st of November till 31.st of March. It is a good time to visit since the weather is not so hot anymore but still very comfortable to walk around the city.

Adding another comment: Greetings Vaclav, Valery, and Nico. Just extra information. It's only 40 minutes from the centre (I know, for tři pražáci it's a long time - for a Londoner it's nothing, even after 16 years here). Take metro C and then a bus from Kačerov to Sídliště Písnice takes you to SAPA. There is a Great Asian food store in Francouszka for people who don't want to go to SAPA to buy 17 years worth of Chinese/Thai/Indian/Vietnamese food supplies. There is also one on Korunni for Japanese and Korean stuff.

Well, this was unexpected . . . and fun! Didn't the Vietnamese begin arriving in the old Czechoslovakia way back in the seventies V&V? I kind of remember some sort of story behind that. Also, is that actually considered part of Prague way out there? If so, the city limits must be huge! 😎

@xsc1000 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, its still part of Prague, very close to the south city limit. Vietnamese people came to Czechoslovakia in 70s and 80s as workers to learn new technology (for them) - most of them were working in factories. In 90s they stood here and many others came from Vietnam for trade.

That being said, the food is sooo goood but the coffee just as good. However, as you said, the coffee will send you to regions never explored before if you are not careful with how fast and how much you drink. Have a pleasant flight😱🤣!! Quicker than European Espresso too🤣! As always, great and informative video. Never knew Prague had a SAPA!!! More video's please !!!😱🌹👌👍

As I said in different comment, Vietnamese coffee is like drink black coal with milk. :-) I drink bigger, but weaker coffee whole my life, so I don't like even classic espresso, it's too small and too concentrated for me.

@Pidalin 2 жыл бұрын

I had Vietnamese coffee in Old Hanoi restaurant and it was like drinking black coal with milk cream on bottom, I am not saying it's bad, but it's just unusual taste for us. Food was really good. This video reminds me times when big Vietnamese malls were everywhere (like 15 years ago) and nothing was banned, they were selling everything, you needed some explosives when you were 10 years old? No problem. Today, I would say like 75% of all Vietnamese markets are removed for some reason or they sell just some cloths or some weird things which I really don't know why to buy that. When I was kid, Vietnamese markets had everything you could imagine.

Back in 1991 I went to Canada one weekend liberty. I took a bunch of trains/buses ended up in North Ontario (I think). Anyway I saw a teepee, thought it was a "living museum" went inside helped myself to a cup of coffee. The woman stared at me until finally she had enough & told me to get out of her HOME. I'm surprised Canada didn't declare war on us because of me.
