Bánh mì was first created in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City! The baguette was first introduced to Vietnam in the 1850s. It was initially a luxury as imported wheat was expensive. But when WWI came around, because of the presence of many French soldiers, local bakers were motivated to use inexpensive rice flour to bake bread, which allowed baguettes to become a staple for the locals. Though the sandwich didn't become a thing until the 1950s when Vietnam was partitioned between North and South, and a million people from the north moved to the south. Two of these Northern immigrants, Lê Minh Ngọc and Nguyễn Thị Tịnh, are credited with opening a small bakery in Saigon that became the first bánh mì shop. It quickly spread. Our countries have had bilateral relations since January 1950. I got to visit Hanoi back in 2019 as part of a big train trip that included a stop in Beijing. I had an absolute blast in Vietnam and I can't wait to visit again eventually.

[@Cedricrt-jb6]

Thank you for your kind words supreme leader :) I am so happy you enjoyed my country

You should be feeding your people not visiting other countries

[@demoncloud6147]

sup bossmang ? how u doin ?

[@GoodGood-vb8gm]

I've been to Vietnam once and I found that the made-in-Vietnam baguette is so nice that you can eat it on its own, better than any French loaves that I've tasted and those at Subway and Delifrance.

Not all Vietnamese are short, but having small seats are easy to put away and don't take up space. Secondly, it helps open the hips like squatting. You rarely see people with back pains in Vietnam. It

Great Video. I am planning to go to Hanoi in February with my 2 sisters. can youn please tell me the name of the hotel you stayed in? thank you.

[@Melohhdee]

So, I’m heading back to the Philippines to visit my husband and I’m thinking about visiting Hanoi for a few days but I am concerned about the bathroom issue (because of food poisoning). How hard is it to find a bathroom in Hanoi if you gotta “go”? Also, what’s the best way to exchange money when we get there? I am thinking of a 2-3 day trip

[@BobbyReborn]

Sorry to hear about food poisoning.. Street food isn't what it used to be, I'd avoid it now. Come to Vung Tau and see how things can be set up here.

[@user-us5iv8jw9b]

😂😂😂 Nếu không có ẩm thực đường phố sẽ không có Bánh Mì Nổi tiếng. Cũng không có món Phở. Ngày xưa phở cũng xuất phát từ ghánh hàng rong. Bạn cảm thấy nó không an toàn bạn co thể bỏ qua. Đừng xúc phạm Việt Nam.

Vietnam is inspiring,just go for pho

[@ChristopherCircelli]

I miss living in Vietnam and it's controlled chaos LOL

[@thatgirlyami]

70k for the donut ball dessert is quiet a lot. When you think about it, it cost more than Banh Mi. We bought a couple of those for no more than 15k vnd.

[@foxwithuke_]

Come to Saigon :DD

[@dangheorghica4491]

Can't wait to go back after spending 1 month there back in October. It's been on top of my list ever since. I agree when you say that Hanoi is just organized chaos and it has some beauty to it. And pho is hands down the best soup on the planet.

Coconut is so cheap in Vn. It is 1 usd in my city Danang

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Thank you for the interesting video. Out of curiosity, did the streets get the names because the shops grouped together there, or were the shops ordered to be there?

[@minhquanang5148]

i was told that the shops grouped together, people named the street after the product, it got so popular that the government decided to keep their names

[@duchainguyen828]

That area is the old quarter in Hanoi downtown. And streets in this old quarter were named after the specific products sold by those shops. Ex: Leather street, Silver street, Metal street, Paper street, Ceramic street, Bamboo street, and other million kind of stuff.

[@SoukbanlangXayasouk-bi3cd]

Bro why you never go to the Ho Chị min city? I bet it’s even more exciting than in the capital

[@user-us5iv8jw9b]

i could go for a banh mi now

[@QuansatvienVN]

[@ThanhPham-fx6eb]

Tip for crossing street in Vietnam: Many tourist foreigners scared of traffic in VN . Don’t worry about it! The rule to win this fear is keep routin slowly walking when you across the streams of motobike! -motobykers knows how to avoid you themself in chaos-order! remmember do not run and stop suddently , accident immidiatly ! Don’t be affraid off and do it if you want to be safety in the crazy- rule traffic in Vietnam.

[@arodirocha4145]

Can anyone help me find the banh mi place he mentioned. Cannot find it at all on maps

[@MinhVu-zw4ih]

The traffic can be Hanoi-ing 😂

[@lananhphamthi2507]

Great

[@adamdzwoniarek3841]

90 bucks for a few pleasantries is quite a lot, though. Obviously, you're not gonna hit a nail salon every day, but, aside from the hotel room, you guys spent like 50 dollars on snacks (mind you, I eat a lot lol) in an apparently cheap country. But then again that was for 2 people.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

That St. Joseph's Cathedral was actually one of the first structures built by the French Indochina government! The French conquered Hanoi in 1873, but a decade passed until they got full control of the city due to insurgencies. Once they got full control, that's when they decided to build it, basing off the Notre Dame for pure symbolism of the then new owners of Vietnam. After the Geneva Accords in 1954, priests were arrested, and that specific church would remain closed until Christmas Eve 1990 when Mass was finally permitted It has nothing to do with height when it comes to the chairs! While the older generations had a high stunting rate, that's not true today. For pop-up restaurants, having these chairs make sense because they can be quickly deployed, quickly stacked-up, easily moved-around, and easily stored. But another factor is economic history! Between unification in 1976 and reforms in 1986, there were no private businesses. People needed to do black-market side-hustles in order to survive. Because it was illegal to build a business and accumulate wealth, there was no incentive to raise funds and build a capital stock of large furniture. Thus, having these small chairs and tables were the solution. The Vietnamese people learned to be small and nimble, to serve and work-hard instead of taking risks.

[@lelaihoang8722]

your knowledge is really amazing but as a Hanoian I want to add some further information: The Notre Dame was built on the base of one of the biggest temples in Hanoi, as The French destroyed it in the dream of converting the religion in Vietnam. The small tower called "Hoa Phong" which is opposite the Hanoi post office is the sole remaining architecture from this temple. Nowadays the road leading to that church is called "Church Street", but ridiculously that the head of Hanoi Buddhists stays there, with a petty entrance that can be easily neglected by both tourists and locals.

[@epzainhulycai2615]

[@ndtung]

Người Pháp đã phá hủy một ngôi chùa có lịch sử 1000 năm và xây nhà thờ trên nền ngôi chùa đó. Với người Vietnam đó là sự xâm lược về tôn giáo nghiêm trọng. Rất hài hước là người phương Tây luôn nói về tự do tôn giáo. Nhưng họ sử dụng tôn giáo như một công cụ để xâm lược thuộc địa. Chúng tôi không bao giờ quên lịch sử của dân tộc

Vietnam is not cheap at least in the south where Ho Chi Minh City is.

[@foxwithuke_]

Huh? I went to ho Cho minh last year and the food was still cheap?

[@vietnamemperor123461]

@@foxwithuke_ Depending on what area or district you're in. If you're in area like where Vinhomes is or near landmark 81 expect to see millions of dollars real estate because that's where most of the wealthy Vietnamese upper class settle down. But if you're in district 4 expect to see homeless and slums. It's kinda like New York City where most rich people live in Manhattan and the poor live in the ghettos in the Bronx.
