Im glad to have your understanding and support 🙏🏼💕 thank you Hazel

There are many foreigner youtubers made about Beautiful Hanoi. But this channel it seem has strategy to against Hanoi. Ask her why?

@@Ice-Black-Coffee I'm sad to hear you feel this way, but I am confident that Daniela does not have a vendetta against Hanoi. We're not always going to enjoy every experience, and it's OK to share that in a respectful way. You should watch her video about a street food tour in Hanoi which she loved!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your insight and recommendations, Geoff. I appreciate your comment and the information you provided. This makes a lot of sense and I have also been doing some readings lately and have come to understand more about the wars and how difficult things have been for Vietnam. Thank you so much ❤️

Buddy, I aint reading all that….

Hi Geoff, where is the french quarter u mention? Im in Hanoi now.

@@geofftran891 Thank you ur time to share n I do hv better understanding of ppl in Hanoi.

Like if you ask every Indonesian to know which island is the best to visit. The answer is Lombok. not Bali as "we foreigners all know about". You'll find it in the GGMaps, next to Bali. If you find a vacation, or the exact word should be "stay-cation", Bali is the heaven in modern people, quite over-exploited to be commercially entertained, well-known, full of people. If you find an exploration, you will reach the sensational feelings at Lombok. even if you google the internet photos, you wish to be buried in there. Mother Nature stands out of the beautifulness, until people come in...to sad to say.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write an insightful and informative post! I love your comment at the end of the first post, and I will take it with me: "Walk deeply, Look deeply" I also appreciate the comment about the bitter drink (coming from someone who loves bitter lol).

@@dani-moves Cool! No hatred, no grudges. Hope you have another chance with Hanoi, especially. This is one personal viewpoint I once heard "Hanoi is too hard to love, but once you do, you do" :)

@@dani-moves North Vietnam and Hanoi have essentially been under Communism for 77 years since 1945, while South Vietnam and Saigon Have been under Communism for 47 years after the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists invaded the free and prosperous Republic of South Vietnam and turned the whole country into the second poorest nation in Southeast Asia, surpassed by Laos, Campuchia, and soon by Myanmar. What you experienced was the difference of 30 years of Communism and how it affected people. It's like visiting the miserable Commie North Korea and free South Korea and sensed the difference in attitude, demeanor, and lifestyle of the residents. That's what authoritarian Communism did to people, turned them into poor, selfish, cold, calculated, self-preserving, unsanitized, inconsiderate humanoids, and that's why most nations in the world rejected Communism, now only forced on a few left, mainly Commie China, Commie North Korea, and Commie Vietnam in Asia, all of which ranked at the bottom in the world in free speech and freedom of the press, and desirability of living indices. If you ask any honest people on the streets of Vietnam while you are there if they want to stay in Vietnam, 99% of them would tell you they want to get out of this Vietnamese Commie sh*thole as fast as they could if given the opportunity, and many have risked their lives doing just that, as evidenced by the 39 ill-fated lives found inside a UK container truck recently on the news (and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. For a glimpse of the reasons (and there are many), you might want to search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") even right here on KZfaq to see millions of footages of land-robbing of Vietnamese citizens by the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime all over the country, spanning for decades since Ho Chi Minh's land-reform (1953-1956) that slaughtered nearly 1 million North Vietnamese to rob their lands and private properties. All true. Do your research! Great video! Thank you for giving your honest feedback to world travelers.

🙏🏻⭐️❤️Thanks for watching!

Thank you for letting me know

You are comparing between HN and HCM or between Northern and Southern? Plz write clearly when you analysis a matter.

@@Ice-Black-Coffee It is not like he is a qualified scientist or ecologist, he is allowed to have his own opinion based on his experience, you know. P/s: I'm assuming he is comparing between the 2 cities, because when Vietnamese people use English, they tend to rephrase words without actually knowing their thorough meanings (influenced from Vietnamese literature, and Ielts tests).

Thank you for sharing your experience with me! Vietnam is such an adventure, right? Now that time has passed, i totally see your point, and i have shared it with many people. Its fascinating to have a place in the world that has not changed, and that is not perfect or fancy or fake. Hanoi its one of the most genuine places i have ever ben to!!

Thank you He Dong ❤️⭐️🧚‍♂️

it's very possible :( I was there for 1 week, but i think i got unlucky the first couple of days

@@dani-moves you should give Hanoi time

@@onlylove-fn3zg I have been hearing this!

@@dani-moves i was in VN for ..8 -9 months (Hanoi) . I will probably go back and make it my base . Thing is you gotta find the non/semi tourist areas lol . ENJOY

I actually agree with this. Once you are passed the culture shock it’s actually more enjoyable 💕I can’t lie. I’m now in Malaysia and I’m missing Hanoi a little bit lol 😂

A lot of people say HCMC and Hanoi are overwhelming to the senses, but after 3 days, you barely notice it and you traverse the roads like a pro when crossing. LOL!

As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") to see millions of footages across the country from North to South, spanning for decades, dated back to Ho Chi Minh's bloody land reform 1953-1956 that killed nearly 1 million North Vietnamese in only 4 years, or 250K people brutally slaughtered in torturous painful deaths (like being shot, stabbed, mutilated while being alive, or heads being plowed over by water buffaloes while bodies being buried underground) each year on average to rob their lands and homes. Even today, if the rightful owners refuse to have their homes or lands robbed, the ruthless Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime simply jail or massacre them, have tractors run over their bodies or openly assassinate them in their own homes. When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

@@doodahgurlie i can see that lol

It’s a super interesting place. Just very different from what I’m used to. But worth visiting to get to know the real vietnam 🇻🇳

Xin chao! I am for sure dealing with some hate. But it’s only fair. If I’m exposing myself to the world I have to be able to deal with whatever comes back at me 🙏🏼. There’s no other way. I thank you for your kind message and insight on your opinion. I’m actually writing a script for a video on vietnam history, I’m also a bit scared to post it. But I think it could help people understand things I didn’t know about before visiting. What do you think?

lol, in some ways, that you're correct about the middle child. but the middle is getting more attention day by day. I just went to Buon Ma Thuot earlier this month, love the province. everything is so sceneric & breath taking.

@@dani-moves @Therapist Nomad You can talk about things you didnt understand or didnt know about before and after visiting Vietnam. Vietnam has a very complicated history. Our country was colonized by the French, divided into two parts like North/South Korea (Vietnam War), occupied by the Chinese, the cambodia pol pot, etc. So if you want to talk about Vietnam history, make sure to do alot of research because it is a very complicated and sensitive topic. I wish you well with these upcoming videos and I cant wait to see them!

Central Vietnam is like the middle child, gets ignored, partly because noone understands it... such heavy accents

The French kept Hanoi as the capital of French Indochina for over 50 years. Saigon only served as the capital of French Indochina for nearly 30 years. Plus, Saigon has a huge Chinese Vietnamese population which Hanoi doesn’t. Saying the Hanoi is more eastern oriented while Saigon is more western oriented is like saying 50 is a smaller number than 30.

Hi there

@@dani-moves We’re currently living in Madrid! When consider Hanoi we almost moved with our dog, and the consumption of dogs was a big question of ours. It’s definitely something that might be interesting to discuss in another video!

@@MYTravelBF yes that'a right! Im sure Madrid was a great choice ❤️ It's on my list for places to live, honestly. Before coming to Asia I was trying to get my residency there but it did not work for me :( So I came to Asia to get out of the Schengen zone. Now, we are liking Asia very much, but we may go back to Madrid at some point 💗 lovely city!

Hanoi is gorgeous with friendly people, it's pure Vietnam and takes time to get used to, this girl is far too in experienced to comment

Congrats on making the right choice! I was in Spain and absolutely loved it. Spain was my most favorite country in Western Europe.

Bitterness is venom that consumes its host. Matshona Dhliwayo

Hi, as a Vietnamese born in central Vietnam, I think it's my responsibility to correct your idea a bit. We have no problems with the north as you said "history and war". It likes parents have many kids. It does not mean all of them have to be close to each other because of their distinct personalities,

@@hientq3824 For once, I almost agree with kipps guitar . I think the hatred and vitriol is coming from older Vietnamese people whom escaped and moved abroad. You see them leaving crazy comments all the time. You can spot them right away when they demand that foreigners call the city Saigon instead of HCMC...when in fact, HCMC is bigger than Saigon from what I'm told. I'm okay with people calling it Saigon as it's a mouthful to say HCMC, but not for political reasons like some of the Viets abroad demand of foreign visitors. And then they see the current flag and they flip. As if the war wasn't over almost 50 years ago. LOL

@@doodahgurlie Yeah its funny how most local vietnamese are over the war, and mainly be biter about it openly about it when drunk. But the ones who "escaped" sometimes still handle the situation as if we were like a combination of the war and todays north korea. Also, many people still call HCMC as Saigon even if they were supporters/from north, simply because, as you said it, it is a mouthful

That's def a possibility, Abenaide!

My pleasure 😊

Yesterday we did not take grab because we were in a rush, and a taxi driver tried to charge us 500.000 dong for what it should have been 100.000 DONG 😂😂😂 Thank God we had taken the same route before with Grab so we said "NO THIS IS NOT OKAY!" He still did not want to give us change for our 200.000 DONG bill, but that's okay! Next time we will only use Grab.

@@dani-moves I feel so bad for you. That driver takes advantage of tourists, and if the public figure out, he would immediately lose his career

@@kayevil7390 you are so kind

@@dani-moves Sorry for your bad experience. We don't call taxi on the street anymore ( for years) because they can't compete with taxi through app with good price and accurate about the distance. They might over charge not only for tourist but also for native people. Nowadays we use taxi with technology through app like Gojek ( very cheap ) or Grab.

That is right! is where the authentic culture is at ❤️ Love Vietnam. Just maybe not my place to live as a digital nomad, at least for now

that is true!

More than just true, the woman is blind to her surroundings

The good thing is that even though Vietnam and China government system share alot of similarity but in term of censoreship. Vietnam is more open than China unless you really want to create a mass protest against government they're ok with you.

The Vietnamese government's censorship network is so terrible that the Vietnamese online community uses brainwaves to go online and curse each other with friends. 😂

interesting! thanks for this info

Hi! I think we all want to share positive and exciting information so everyone loves us. But the truth is that nothing is perfect -- including America lol. I have gotten a lot of hate from people because of this video, but it is what it is. I cannot lie and say those days in Hanoi were great. Maybe if i was on vacation and going to cool tours my experience would have been better. But as a digital nomad, this is not the place for me :(

That's right! The south has been more influenced by the western world for so long. so that makes sense! And I agree with you, the whole Vietnam is beautiful and growing! I miss it 💗💗

Not true. Some problems she stated would have been worse if she went to Saigon. People in Saigon cut lines constantly doesn't matter if you're waiting for orders or filling your gas for motorbikes. Also, pickpocketers and theives are everywhere in Saigon. Saigon is a little bit more developed than Hanoi, true, but in terms of globalization, it is a myth that Saigon is more Western influenced.

Thank you!

This makes SO MUCH SENSE NOW: "our culture teaches us to yield to the elderlies and the disables when wait in line" I thank you for your kindness to educate me ❤️

@@dani-moves You are welcome. Vietnamese follow confucianism. Good conduct within the family and with others are very important.

I wish you a pleasant trip wherever you go.

She must have been lucky in Da nang...I thought it was the end of the world...no, it will take a lot of years to come close to Thai tourism or Malaysian tourism. It's to severe problems and crazy expensive.

Worst country in the world. Unlivable, and vietnamese trying to rationalize their bad behavior, finding excuses makes it even worse.

@@Daniel-xaogjeyh That is what you think. For me Vietnam is a beautiful country with kind and friendly people. The country economy is also one of the fasting growing in Asia and still an in expensive country to live.

Thank you for understanding my point of view. I agree with you. For example, I LOVE MIAMI! but so many people don't like Miami. I cannot hate them or shame them for that. They have their reasons 🙏🏻. Also, i think I am making note of something very specific that I think some people have disregarded, and that is that as a digital nomad, i don't think it's the best place. Now, it is a great place for knowing the culture, exploring, immersing in the culture, etc. I am happy I visited Hanoi and have no regrets whatsoever ❤️ It's a RAW place and that is lovely in itself.

Thank you for your thoughts!! I LOVE Da Nang as well 💗 Hanoi was interesting with great food! just not for me as a digital nomad :(

Ha Noi...wil create both of love and hate about it, living there more 20 years make me tired but I feel miss it when travel.

Thanks for commenting! 💗 i agree too :(

hi! thank you for sharing your experience. i was also surprised to run into unfriendly people in ASIA! i could not believe it. Vietnamese people were so sweet everywhere but def not in Hanoi (they also lied about prices to get more money out of us --which felt so unlike Asia). I dont regret going and I think some things were memorable, but many things were absolutely shocking and uncomfortable. Thank you for watching and commenting im glad you appreciate the honesty!

Hahahaha Raul! Nice to meet you.. You will be okay. 1) I would say stay in a hotel rather than an airbnb. 2) eat street food only from tours or locals that guide you. 3) west lake area is the best / cleanest area in hanoi. 4) focus on doing your day trips (they are fantastic and im sad i missed them). check out my friend's youtube for tour tips: kzfaq.infovideos

Do you have any specific questions i can help with? I loved my hotel: PentStudios

@@dani-moves how did you get around whenever you had to travel far like to Da Nang? I’ll be landing in Ho Chi Minh May 18. Would you even recommend making the trek to Hanoi?

@@raulcarrera3504 I flew from Da Nang to Hanoi. The tickets were cheap and its just 50min I absolutely recommend you check out Hoi An and Da Nang. A Vietnamese answered this on my video: "if you want to get a challenge from new lifestyle and learn new culture, then Hanoi is the good option" and i think that is very true! Hanoi will challenge you in a good way. And honestly, the day trips are very much worth it! I did not go to Saigon, but i think some people travel on bus? is just pretty long. The flights are short and cheap

Bad advice, stay in the old quarter or near the lake, west lake (tay ho) is the wrong area, very safe city and beautiful, the bars and live music around the French quarter are fantastic, recommend Hanoi sky hotel, cheap and central right in the middle of beautiful cafes and treee

You make a good point here! Even by the end of my trip I have understood the culture more and felt more at ease

@@dani-moves I was watching "Dan vs Food" the other night and if you watch his video, you can see how uber friendly the Hanoians were in his video. But that doesn't mean your experience didn't happen, but like I said, you also went into it a little biased by those whom warned you about Hanoi. You should check out Da Lat, a lot people really like it there, but the weather is cooler, which you may not like if you prefer warmer weather and the ocean.

LOL good point. I have not been there in >10 years. I have heard it's getting better tho!

Thank you for your insight! I see your point of view and appreciated 🙏🏼

@@dani-moves I will explain a little bit more. Back in the days, the elder Vietnamese generation didn't learn English in their lifetime. We had a war with the Us before. I know English is a international language. I saw some comments from foreigners complaint why vietnamese doesn't speak English. English is just learnt by younger generation commonly in the school recently in Vietnam as a second language ( about 10 - 15 years ago ). Even younger generation in college is still struggling speaking English. Because you can't improve English without speaking and practicing in daily life. We only focus on learning grammar, reading and writing in the school. So if you compare the people in Hanoi with people in another cities which has tourist everyday, there are more people can speak English and work professionally with foreigners daily so you might think people in Hanoi is not friendly as people in another place. If you want a night life, you can come to another cities such as Ho Chi Minh city or another cities for traveling, we have a lot of foreigners in bar. In Hanoi, we still has a lot of bars but all business has to close before midnight 0:0. Because the people need quiet environment so the people can sleep well and go to work the next day.

@@dani-moves Also, keep in mind, you're comparing a city of 1 million vs 5 million. That's gonna make a big difference in noise, pollution, etc.

@@doodahgurlie I guessed she said about "loud noices" she means it's too loud for a normal city my friend and it has nothing to do about 1 million populations or 8 millions populations or 50 millions populations, for me I lived in Bangkok and there are more than 10+ millions people just in small area and plus more than 5+ millions from neighbor countries that came to work and lived here and I'm not even talking about more than 40+ millions people came to Thailand per year(before C19) to visit and most of them came to Bangkok and only registered cars on the road in Bangkok(Bangkok plate) already more than 10 millions cars since many years ago, but Do you believe me if you come to Bangkok with full traffic jam like full cars on the 6 or 8 lanes road but you still rarely hear the Car Horns sound and it's really rude to use a lot of car horn here in Bangkok if you walk on the footpath beside a busy road you'll just hear only an engines sound.

It is a great place if you like dirt and scams! I know northern Vietnamese very well.

@@Nikoletak23 apparently not

@@Nikoletak23 And I know Southern Vietnamese well enough to avoid showing any prized possessions in public. The worse Northern Vietnamese can do to you is haggling/ inflating prizes. Going to the wrong nook/cranny in HCM and consider your stuff gone with a nice beating to go with it :)

Absolutely friendly, she is listening to gossip from the bad old days of North and south issues and Hanoi gets slagged off, I rarely met unfriendly people in Hanoi in multiple visits

not really

thank you!

:( it can be hard to get used to the pollution and traffic rules here. It is a unique and interesting city though! South Korea looks EPIC!

I am living in China now and my family & I are considering a move to Hanoi later next year. I am mostly worried about the pollution and Cleanliness of the city as we have 2 kids

@@peterliddle1486 If I were to be completely honest, I wouldn't recommend Hanoi if you're worried about your children's health as the pollution is constant (at least it was for the 3months I was there) and it's to the point that we would look outside everyday and just see smog. Some areas of the city are nicer than others but a lot of it is just construction which isn't cleared properly and burning of rubbish happens a lot but I just saw the remains left on the side of the street. For comparison, I lived in Yangzhou, for 2yrs, Nanjing for 3mths, spent a month in Beijing and have travelled to other cities in China too. I only ever saw pollution as bad as Hanoi maybe 3x the whole time I was there and all the cities were much cleaner.

@@Anabellw0w Thanks, my thoughts exactly. We were thinking of checking out Ecopark.

Thank you for your support ⭐️🙏🏻❤️

Wish I had a dollar for every young newbe traveler shocked by Hanoi, it takes time and it's beautiful with great nightlife

You're welcome 😊💗

Thank you so much for your insight! This is very important for viewers to know. Da Nang is my favorite, hopefully you can watch my video on it - is honestly my favorite video i have created yet!

@@dani-moves many traffic and construction projects are doing or going to do in hanoi so maybe in 2030 or 2035 the air pollution in hanoi will be decrease

I have high hopes for that!

People in southern viet nam very dishonest and vary conservative ,they always talk good about themselves and talk bad about others culture ,people in northern viet nam way more open than people in Southern viet nam once you start having a conversation with them they will speak their mind not like people in the south

People in the south very dishonest and very conservative , I got robed every single time when I was in the south and people in the south always talk good about themselves and always talk bad about others culture

Thanks Hieu. I get that they want to keep things traditional and i respect that though.. I was telling my boyfriend is nice to have a little bit of everything in the world because if we all become super modern and technological, then there is not going to be anything interesting left in the world. We will all be equal and boring lol. It's cool to say you can still experience the depths of a culture by flying to one city. So I appreciate that about Hanoi. But for my lifestyle i know that Saigon or a beach town will be better for me

What Chinese cultures is that affected to Hanoi? Are you kidding? Are you smoking? Don't provide misleading info about the place that you don't have any clue and never been in.

@@ducthangle2617 that whitewoman high on crack

❤️❤️

Thank you for these recommendations! Love the South 💗💗💗💗

:(

Hi Mark! thank you for the encouragement. It can be a bit scary to deal with youtube hate lol 😂 but I dont get to talk negatively about something without receiving negative comments back. I just wanted to make sure people dont take my personal review as disrespect or brattiness...though some still do 😂, but it's okay. I do appreciate these supportive comments because they help me stay balanced 🙏🏻 so thank you!!! And also! I have been practicing my Pho pronunciation now thanks to you! 😂 I hope it gets better before my next visit 🎉⭐️

Thanks for commenting :)

Thank you! I have videos in Thailand :)

Thank you for sharing your opinion!

Da Nang is the best place ever

Thank you so much!! I have gotten a lot of hate for this video, but surprisingly, good support from the Vietnamese people 💗 thank you

@@dani-moves I wish they will do something about their traffic and pollution since there are people traveling there.

LOL! That's actually funny, right? Ive been talking to my bf about this... about how everyone has such different experiences based on the smallest things. We are in Malaysia now, and the first 2 weeks we had a GREAT host, so we loved the city and everything around us. Now this week we changed apartments and have a HORRIBLE host and we dont like our house, so we are irritated every day and we dont find the fun in the city anymore lol 😂😂😂 its all about perspective and subjectivity

@@dani-moves Yeah, weird how it can go from love to hate very quickly based upon minor changes like that.

Hi Le! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here, i really appreciate it! I still love your country very much 💗💗

💗

that is sort of true lol

Hi I do take your words in consideration :) I did readings and watched videos before going, but things were different in person. In this video I share my personal experience, meaning what I saw with my eyes and experienced emotionally. This is not the ultimate truth, because it is all a subjective experience. It's a story, not facts. I still continued to do research and readings on Vietnam and have learned much more about the reasons Hanoi is the way it is. I understand it now. I still felt it was okay for me to share my raw and immediate experience, since I share with my audience what I do. And I am sorry, I have to disagree, I think I was very respectful and many people in the comments have agreed with that. I hope you can understand where i am coming from. But I will take your word and continue to read and learn. Thank you!

your country is really bad I've been there once and don't want to go again

Hanoi is very unique and it is fascinating! I still do not forget my experience there - its stuck in my brain lol

ouch! :( thanks!

Hmm i dont know if it's a fact that the air quality is worse here than HCM.. I actually have heard more recently that HCM's airquality is really terrible as well.. Not like Da Nang at all. Thank you for sharing 💗💗💗

:(

:O oh oh! lol i have been hearing a little bit about this from some people

Hi Doug, Thanks for adding value with your comment - I appreciate your feedback and I am sure other visitors do as well. It's always fascinating to meet locals and get to know more about the depths of their culture. I am really happy I visited Hanoi 🙏🏻. Maybe I am not about that life 😂, you are right. This experience was different for me, but i am learning that *different* is not bad. It's an opportunity for growth and learning from myself and others. I will still prefer a drink indoors if there is poor air quality 😂 -- considering I do have mild respiratory issues. Im sure you will have a great time. I hope to visit HCMH soon 🙏🏻

@@dani-moves Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I was a bit tough on you. Everyone is different. I try to live like a local over there. Eating Banh Mi op la street food for breakfast or Pho bo (mainly in a local's restaurant) Big positive - I feel safer going out at night there than back home. Same goes for Thailand. Great part of the world and hope you get to see a lot of it.

@@dougm3037 Hahahah it's okay! To survive in this world I have had to learn to not take things to heart. I was honestly very scared to post this video, but most of my friends and some acquaintances from Vietnam supported me. But everytime i open my comments i have to come with a compassionate and empathetic mindset so i don't end up hurt lol. Anyways, I thank you for your comments

@@dani-moves you shouldn't be scared to post, just more experienced and factual

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think that Hanoi is learning to treat tourists. I think even now in 2022, the older generation is not ready for tourists. And even the young. Only the young people in hotels know how to help tourists. I am sorry for what you went through. I do love Vietnam very much and plan to go back 💗🙏🏻. I have a lot of hope for it. But what happened to you is NOT fair and it should not have happened.

Thank you for your comment and insight! I appreciate you taking the time to share with me 🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing your insight. That sounds like way to of an expensive rent for Hanoi!! im sorry you went through that. did they scam you?

@@dani-moves Fortunately, I've never been scammed in Hanoi,. At the time, my husband's generous housing allowance, allowed us to splurge on accommodation. We started in Tay Ho but later moved to Ciputra. Overall, the rental prices in Hanoi were inflated compared to Ho Chi Minh City, but what bothered me most was the shoddy craftsmanship and lack of care in the apartments, regardless of their cost. Nonetheless, I believe every experience teaches us something about ourselves, and I commend your honesty in not sugarcoating the place like many other KZfaqrs.

I did :) I have videos there 💗

This is very true! thank you very much for your insight 💗
