I just visit Saigon from March 20 to March 24. Same as your guys, and I had a wonderful journey there. But I feel the price there to Tourist is much higher than that to their locals, especailly those markets in District 1. You know what, 1 kg of Arabica coffee bean in those market will be easy to over VND3,000,000. That is crazy!

[@Bikepacking]

@@cloverdover712 there 4 prices in Vietnam exsample local price tshirt $5 then there the expat price $7 the there tourist price $10 then there the Russian price $20 lol the sercret is when buying watch what locals pay and just give the same never pull out a lot of money just enough to cover the local price.. if they try to up the price dont get angry just laugh and smile you get local price in the end or expat price .. the reason Vietnam has a low return rate for tourist is they get over charge everyday from taxi to drinks to shopping .. in Europe usa etc the prices are clearly marked everyone same price .. with the opening of many malls now in Vietnam the prices are the same for everyone which is a good and bad thing .. ie those little stores will be gone some day that wahat makes Vietnam special

[@enriquedrivefast]

We were there 1-4 March. I found that using Google Translate was my most useful tool. Take a picture of a Vietnamese word or phrase and the screen would display an English translation over the original text. Plus a good ice breaker when I spoke into my phone and it reapeated what I said in Vietnamese.

[@doodahgurlie]

Sections of it is modern, but you can still get the old sections in other districts. Da Nang is known to be a modern city that many digital nomads loved living in (well, until they got kicked out since they were living cheaply but not paying taxes for long term residents).

@@doodahgurlie interesting, so they should pay taxes even if their income is not from Vietnam sources?

[@doodahgurlie]

@@vyacheslavzgordan6725 These aren't regular tourists, they were basically bypassing the law and squatting there because it's cheap. If they are using resources, then they should pay taxes - especially considering they are living there because they get quality stuff like housing, food, views, etc., for dirt cheap.

I feel like I'm right there with you! Viet Nam is a touchy subject for us old people. Lost a few friends over there and the public sentiment wasn't good. I was set to go in '73, luckily the war was winding down. Country looks like it's thriving.

Vietnam always welcome Americans to come visit

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It's a very bustling country! It is a touchy subject and we try to be mindful of that when making our videos. We want to recognize the sacrifice many people made on both sides to fight for what they believed in. We are loving it here though. The people are friendly and there's lots to see and do!

My dad went to military school in Da Lat (equivalent of West Point) and trained as a Green Beret at Ft Bragg. I lost my dad due to Agent Orange exposure.

Loving that you chose Vietnam as your first country to travel in Asia...it's a beautiful country full of history (much of which was spent warring, so to see the country able to rise above it despite the disadvantages and obstacles handed to them, is amazing!) Unfortunately, a lot of history was destroyed when more American bombs were dropped on the land than all of WWII. Hue's Imperial City and a lot of the amazing ancient Cham architecture was blasted out of history. What a crime against humanity as that's like blowing up Angkor Wat, Mach Picchu, or the Egyptian pyramids...that's just something I find absolutely unforgivable. The Vietnamese are a very forgiving lot. More so than Americans can ever be if the position was reversed.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It is such a beautiful country and we're so glad we chose it to explore first in Asia! It is a real shame the destruction that was caused to the country.

You can visit those village in Quảng Nam, Quảng Ngãi provinces. - Japan made around 2M people die when they came here too. - Australia aslo came here for helping US army. - Thailand let US rented land for keeping bom... - After we got free from US 1975, we were the most poor country of the world. - Then we helped Combodia freedome from pon pot (like Hitle in Germany and Ytali), and helped biulding Combodia from 0 to recover from from 1979 to 1989. Same time we protected North of Vietnam cos china wanted to make Vienam weak until 1989. - US and many countried didnt have conection with Vietnam coz they thought Vietnam made war in Combodia. They just didn't want to see the true Vietnam helped Combodia and many many Vietnames die coz ponpot coz protectuon Combodia even Vietnam is very very tired after finishing war from France 100 years, US 21 years and china over 1.000 years... We just could open from 1995 after US let Vietnam free with economic...

The Reunification Museum looked like the former US Embassy in Saigon. I will never forget those images of people trying to get to the roof of the embassy for a evac flight to freedom. Nor will I forget those images of the helicopters being pushed off the aircraft carriers to make room for evacuees. But the most enduring images were the body count figures shown on the national nightly news. With all that being said, it’s great to see Saigon peaceful & prosperous.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Those are some wild scenes! We have seen some of that in Ken Burns documentary. We learned a lot from that documentary and it really helped us appreciate our travels here even more

What a very different look at the city versus what we saw during the war period. The war museum sounds very interesting, throughout this video I noticed several war relics on display.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I am Vietnamese who lives in Canada 🇨🇦. I haven’t come back to the country for a long time. From your video it brings back the memories. I miss the coffee there. I used to have it everyday. Enjoy your adventures and experiences. Stay safe.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The coffee is incredible! We're having tons of it! Vietnam has been amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@donvan1467]

although being a local but watching the things under your lens and voice-over is very interesting and amazing about the place where I've been living for years. There are many places I've never visited even they are very close. Wish you having an amazing trip and experience in Asia

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's awesome to hear! We had an amazing time in Vietnam!

[@AznJJLinCpopstar]

Great Vlog!! Thank you for sharing the great city of Saigon Vietnam!! These are one of my favorite places I've been too.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved Saigon! Such a beautiful and fun city! Thanks and thanks for watching, John!

[@jamesgrant8127]

I was stationed in Saigon in 1970-1971 when the tallest building was only 8 stories, so this was quite a shocker. I lived 2 blocks from the Presidential Palace with incoming rockets every night. Seeing the Palace and Notre Dame brought back lots of memories. There were a few things you could have shown, assuming they were still there, the former US Embassy just down the street and British Embassy next door. Also, Le Cercle Sportif, which is probably not in your budget zone. I could tell Ms. Perky was going to be sick after drinking Vietnamese "Tea," and sure enough she camped in the next day. Other than missing those things and the French restaurants, a decent job showing off the city, which frankly lacks in things to see.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hey James, thank you for your service. There is always more we can show in every video we make. It doesn't appear that Le Cercle Sportif is open anymore, but we didn't know about it and it was interesting to read about so thanks for sharing that. But I'm glad we didn't have to blow our teeny tiny budget on it 😉😂. Also, we're not sure what made her sick, but we're pretty heavy coffee drinkers so I'm sure it wasn't the Vietnamese coffee...we've had plenty since and been just fine. We don't tend to visit many sit down restaurants, especially French ones, so we don't feel that we missed out on much there. Saigon is a wonderful city and we had a great time! Thanks for watching.

[@wherearewe-yt]

Excited for this series! Since we lived in the North, we spent most of our year in Vietnam in North/Central Vietnam. We didn't even manage to get down to HCM, so it was great seeing you guys explore it. I'm glad you're doing it right- tiny chair and table street eats for the win! 😂 Ready to see what else you guys get up to!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved HCMC and it was a great starting point, but it has gotten better and better the more north we've gone. We're loving everything about Vietnam! Those tiny chairs and table are still funny to us!

[@mindiwilhelm4322]

Wow! You totally picked up the vibe of the city. You have flexed in amazing ways from the U.S. Well done!😊

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks, Mindi! We're loving it here! Can't wait to share more

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]
