After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, the time was right to quit our full-time jobs, so we left everything to travel and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit as many countries as possible. Follow along and be a part of the journey!

I have a lot of respect for people who travel to another country and are openminded enough to understand why people there might do things differently, even if you're not used to it. Thank you for that, you two are lovely people. I'm glad to hear you had a good time in Vietnam.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

You are so kind. Thank you for your very encouraging comment :)

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Respect your elders! Chewing Loudly is definitely something that we notice to. They really do seem to be enjoying the food.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Respect them!! That’s so interesting! Thanks for watching friends!!

[@kapuhonu5402]

You guys! I always look forward to your videos. You’re both so friendly, welcoming and funny. Jenny always makes me laugh whether it’s words, reactions, facial expressions. Your face during the street food description was hilarious. From the old chestnut “I don’t need to see how the sausage is made…” to the build up to “very fresh….yeah”😂 totally cracked me up. Had to watch that 3 times. 🙂. Really looking forward to Japan! 🇯🇵 ✌🏼

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Your comment made our day!!! We are so happy you can laugh along with us😂🙌🏼 thank you so much for watching friend!

[@BinhLe-bz2eu]

As Vietnamese. Vietnamese tradition always teach us to show respect the elder. If you understand Vietnamese language. You will know why. American in the US is the same way too but not as much as Vietnamese.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Thank you for sharing, we love hearing from a locals point of view!!🙌🏼

[@BinhLe-bz2eu]

@@JacobandJennyTravel The Vietnam follow the same tradition as Chinese. Basic on age and gender, you are given a certain name title.

[@nursek931]

Oh my, Jenny I’m with you, I don’t want to see my food alive before I eat it. 😂. I feel like I must have missed a video or two. We are visiting our family. Great to see you two. Blessings to you. Be safe. 💗

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Yeah it was rough 😂 we are happy you are visiting family and hope you are having such a sweet time with them. Enjoy it! ♥️ here is a link to one of our latest videos! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6Ktn5Z9f5J6jNE Praying blessings over you and your family!

I luv imperial rolls and the soups those people make. I've lived in different hi-rises. Street noise does not start to fade till about 20th floor. 30th floor + is far enough to eliminate most street noise.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is good to know! Thanks for sharing friend :)

[@tuluu3538]

You right Vietnamese parole so loud that is natural 😂😂😂

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Haha! Thanks for watching :)

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Tbh the chickens waiting outside of the restaurant would turn me vegetarian! haha

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

I honestly barely ate any meat there because it freaked me out so much 😂

[@anhbinbaccuc8850]

Vietnamese have common senses just like people in the western world too, growing up I always taught not to talk when eating and not to slurp food too loud, so when I learnt Japanese slurp their food to show appreciation I was at awe. I think because of the loud traffic in Vietnam, people have to talk very loud and they think they could get away with chewing loud, but when it comes to eating at home with family or get invited so someone else, or at a high end restaurant, people have to have table manner. Another thing is Vietnam has a lot of classes, not everyone at the same level of education, or up bringings , not everyone in the cities grew up there, a lot of them migrated from the countrysides to seek jobs in the cities, therefore eating at street stalls reflects this. Just imagine people in the western world eating at McDonald with friends or get invited over to friends houses, it's the same with Vietnam .

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That makes sense. Thank you for sharing that information with us :) we appreciate it!

[@caolam2330]

LOL I love it !!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Hahahaha we are happy to hear that!! Thanks for watching friend!

[@AP-jd4fs]

Small businesses-like street food vendors in Vietnam do not pay taxes for what they sell. However, those sold in the restaurants and hotels, etc... are subject to taxes. That's the reason why you will need to pay extra for meals in those places.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Oh that is so interesting!!! It makes sense. Thanks for clarifying :)

[@sonjahancock5726]

I like that the elderly are respected!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

It is really cool!! 🙌🏼

[@baccamau80]

Wao your new video about Vietnam 🇻🇳.Thanks for sharing about Vietnam. love you guys from Vietnam 🇺🇸❤🇻🇳 Hope you have good living in my country :))

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

We are so glad you like it 😍 thank you so much for watching!!

[@baccamau80]

@@JacobandJennyTravel yeah i love yours video ,really helpful for share culture and living in vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳:)

[@baekimin21]

As a Vietnamese, we do respect old people but most of our restaurants are first come first served. It's probably just a special case that you encountered, not the norm. Maybe the restaurant was too crowded and the owner forgot about you guys, that could happen too.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is good to know!! We experienced it while we were on a ha long bay cruise in the dining room as well! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment ☺️

[@baohoangphucnguyen8724]

The chewing thing when eating is less of respect (like in Japan) but more so like you have your personal freedom to enjoy the meal to the fullest. In Vietnamese we have a saying "Even the God doesn't bother you when you're having a meal". So basically enjoying your food the way you like it is even higher than God's power. To me as an oversea VNmese, I feel like Vietnamese people have the most freedom in the way how they would enjoy a meal to their personal preference. You can chew, you can eat with closed mouth, you can clean the plate or you can leave half the food whatsoever.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Ahhh that makes sense. Thank you for sharing, we appreciate it!! That is good everyone is free to do whatever they want! ☺️

[@BinhLe-bz2eu]

You should've put Phú Quốc island as your next destination. You won't be disappointment

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

We will look it up!! Thanks so much for the recommendation :)

[@atlchai]

No... I like first come first serve. I get mad when I am hungry. Serve old people first. LoL. 😂❤

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Hahaha!! I can relate to you on that. I get angry when I am hungry too😂

[@jarivaha-ypya2782]

Olette kyllä äänekäs pari, tykkään kuitenkin👍😂😂

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Hahaha!! We are quite expressive 😂 we hope all is well with your and your family ☺️

[@BinhLe-bz2eu]

Understand Vietnamese language and tradition. You will understand why.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

We are doing our best to understand it and learn more! Thanks so much for watching ☺️

Jacob is such a stud! Smart, sexy, eloquent! ❤❤❤🇹🇭🇺🇸🥰🔥😍
