We're preparing for our trip to Vietnam. This is one of the best videos we've seen out there. Very helpful tips!

rules on crossing the street: don't run, don't step back or making a big step back, looks both ways, always let the big cars go before you unless they signal you to go, and don't walk too slow. hope that helps

Great vlog. I started off in Hanoi, then trained it to Sapa and Hue and finished up in Ho Chi Minh. Hanoi was beautiful but as me and my friend are slightly curvy we got stared at a lot. The women were really rude looking at us up and down which put us off but I loved Sapa for the trekking and the locals were super friendly. Hue and Ho Chi Minh were stunning! I would love to visit Hoi An one day. The scooters freaked me out lol. My friend had to lead the way every time

Sounds like you had a great trip! Thanks for sharing :)

Camden! These are really great tips and I totally feel similarly about Vietnam. I connect with your feedback and tips. I want to go to Cambodia next so please go and stay in Phnom Penh a month so I can get good tips 😊😅 Good stuff Camden

[@camdendavid]

Hahah it's definitely on my list! I appreciate the support and hope you have a great time in Cambodia!

@@camdendavid I really liked your insights, I was super disillusioned when I arrived in UBUD and I found I couldn’t see any locals or the minimal, so I took a scooter and got lost in the country side.

There is something you have to be careful about with regard to the food, and it has nothing to do with the food itself: If a place called [I'm making this up] Joe's Pizza gets lots of good reviews in Google or other apps, there are unscrupulous people who open their own restaurant with THE SAME NAME in a nearby location, as a means of stealing away those people who are looking for the original restaurant. That makes it hard to know if the Joe's Pizza you find is the one you read about or a copycat.

same stuff in Rome with the scooter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

hey random but what brand are your shirts they seem comfy

[@camdendavid]

Haha they are comfy! I picked them up at Target for like $10 each. Don’t think they’re branded but they seem to last a long time and are light to travel with!

Never ever do important documents last minute. Passport can take 1-2 months to process and Visa can take up to a week

is there any way to avoid spicy food? Can we ask for less spicy food?

[@camdendavid]

They'll default to making things less spicy for anyone who looks like they're traveling from the US or Europe. But never hurts to ask for even less spice (especially if spicy food upsets your stomach)

[@tony66088]

Hui an is now a tourist trap especially at night totally artificial. I have been having clothing tailor there over 8 years and a lot of con job BS's are posing as expert tailors and shoe cobblers and they don't even know basic terminology and its case by case place by place I recommend you only shop at places that are upper end and have been established for 8 years or more. If you don't like the results don't pay for it Walk away they'll stream and cry but otherwise you will pay pay.
