American loves gossiping with Vietnamese Aunties deep in Vietnam's market 🇻🇳

Everybody sells in this market starting around 1pm and goes until they sell out. I would say they are normally done around 5pm. So the best time to get here would be between 2-3pm.

[@amonbeck]

My favorite thing in the world is that my brain thinks of you as kin because you’re a Southerner speaking with a Southern accent but then you so smoothly transition into Vietnamese! My mind is starting to positively associate Vietnamese culture with Southern culture. We gossip and cook and share food the same way. You even treat the Aunties the same way we do. It’s just a really pleasant experience for me. It’s rare to find Southern language KZbinrs. I’m like genuinely shocked at how big of a deal accent is to comfort level. I didn’t even recognize that there was a distance between me and KZbin’s English-speaking polyglots until I heard your voice.

[@SaltJamie]

Yes that sweet Southern accent mixes well in many southerner places around the globe.

[@treywarren1209]

Wow, I couldnt have said that better and couldnt agree more

[@derpyeh9107]

If you haven't had the pleasure of dealing with Vietnamese immigrants in the US, you're missing out. They tend to be really good at integrating with their local community while still maintaining a lot of their culture, which they are proud to share with others. I've heard from foreigners that the Vietnamese in their countries are the same as how I've described them here. Basically, the Vietnamese make a great addition to any community that welcomes them.

[@Beckala67]

It's the day before Lunar New Year here in the U.S. and this wound up in my feed. NYC transplant living in Northwest Arkansas, so I'm acclimated to the Southern accent and hospitality. The first thing to get used to is how folks just have a conversation with you waiting on line for anything - bank, grocery, restaurant. Seeing him do the same in Vietnam just shows you can take the boy out of the South but you can't take the South out of the boy. 😊

He’s learning the more difficult Vietnamese accent (southern) so props to him 😊

[@sirhoopalot1]

Why is the southern accent more difficult to learn? I thought the central accent is most difficult. My parents were northerners but we lived in the south so I have a hybrid northern/southern accent.

@@sirhoopalot1 idk. I just feel like it is 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think it was more subjective than objective 😅

Hi Max, I stumbled on your videos and have been binge watching them. I have been so inspired by the amazing food you've showcased that I've seek out the recipes online and been making a different Vietnamese dish once a week.

Max, I replaced and listened to what the coffee lady said, 7 - 8 times. She did not call you "Mất dạy" . She said "Tui già rồi". Her heavy southern accent and the way she pressed down the word "Gìa" made it sounds like "Dìa" and that sounded like "Dạy".
