I lived in rural Viet Nam for a year and traveled to many places. Almost everyone I met was warm and friendly like this woman. In cafes, on planes, in parks, almost everywhere I went, people would join me to chat and offer me food. I even got invited to stranger's weddings. My Vietnamese was very basic but we often communicated well with very little shared language. I highly recommend it to anyone as one of the best places to travel in the world. It is especially wonderful when you get away from the tourist areas into the back streets of the cities or to the rural areas.

Very cute video, Chris. And that woman was so happy to see you again. God bless her. Showing no matter what culture, religion, or skin color… None of that matters. We are all the same inside and out and it’s not the people of the world that, create the issues… It’s the politicians. According to the politicians, we are all at war all of the time, and every country hates every other country… Yet, when you see videos like this, and others of the interaction between different people from different cultures and countries… you see humanity at its best. Unfortunately, I don’t know Vietnamese or Chinese… Because I would fly over there specifically to hang out with grandma. She seems like she would be a blast to sit down and talk to about her life and growing up. Chris, you are very blessed. Savor every single moment and live every second of every day to the fullest. Never take anything for granted, and when you get a chance to love… Love with every ounce of your heart. We all only have so much time on this earth. So we need to spend it as freely and open as possible. Drink every drop of life in and don’t miss one experience. Because we never know when that experience will be our last. No regrets, only inspiration and aspirations. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year.

I traveled through Costa Rica and found that people really open up to you and are so helpful when you attempt to speak the language.

Being nice to someone and having great food and friendly service has wonderful benefits. She is genuine and she really was super nice and she remembers good customers. It was nice of you to go back more for a visit and for the food secondary. The dishes really looked delicious. I'm NOT A FAN OF SHOYU plus I'm allergic to soy, so I'd LOVE THE VINEGAR AND THE HOT PEPPERS IN THE OIL! YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY! Plus, the hot green peppers, more kick! Not super hot, it depends upon how many rings are added. And I love shrimp, prawns, it's all good to me. My niece is adopted and she spoke only Cantonese when she was adopted. My sister studied Mandarin for months not knowing this. 🤣😆😁😂! Great. My sister and I are half Japanese. She knows ZERO Japanese. I know more than I think, but I can't speak, I can sort of follow along and say a word or two. My BIL and father, both military men, do not and did not want their children learning Asian languages for some reason. Sabotage perhaps? I don't know. It's strange. However, my Japanese relatives were amazed that I knew some Japanese. Their eyeballs nearly fell out of their heads when I said one word which was "goodnight" to them. I'm super impressed that you learned a difficult language and that you are using it. Plus, you are so kind hearted and went to see the nice lady at her restaurant.

In many countries people enjoy getting to practice their English with a native speaker but to break the ice being aware of local customs & taboos and having the basics of their language shows respect and will open doors that are closed to people who expect English to be spoken everywhere.

Got the opportunity to visit Vietnam back in 2019 (not to Ho Chi Minh City though but Hanoi) by train for a summit and absolutely loved it. Chinese influence in Vietnam isn't surprising when you know the history. The Vietnamese language was historically written in Chữ Nôm, which is a logographic script that uses Chinese characters. But they ended up changing to a Latin script as a result of French colonization (though the language is still very much influenced by Chinese on top of French). The ancient Chinese brought cultural, religious and philosophical thought to Vietnam, where the Vietnamese gradually developed and adapted on its own

Most time I spent with another culture was visiting my girlfriends family often in S.F. They were Chinese and while not in China, still had a very different way of day to day living and attitude about life. I loved the way everything seemed to revolve around food. We were either sitting at home talking and snacking on things from the market, going to the market to browse, or cooking a meal for her family (8 people every night). Everything was done deliberately and with ease whereas a lot of American households bicker about food prep or where to eat, what to eat. They were most hospitable and reserved. I learned alot about peace through clarity of process. I wish I picked up a little Cantonese while I was with them 😄

This area is a Chinatown, an ethnic enclave of Chinese people like every one of those Chinatowns in America and many countries in the world. Chris was about to pronounce it in the video, but he remembered the last time he did, he was kind of "attacked" by those nationalist Vietnamese lol. So he changed it to Saigon- Cho Lon.

I'm impressed with his level.. i may not speak my own language but I can tell his vietnamese is amazing...

Viet born in Aus and same situation :( I've been learning on and off for 7 years and I can't understand/speak basic sentences. I don't even know how to properly say I/you because of the pronoun system -_- Vietnamese is severely underrated in terms of it's difficulty to learn and would probably rank harder than Mandarin if it weren't for the difficulty of Chinese characters.

I know you’re looking to hear from someone who’s not me, but I’d say you can become basic conversational in any language within 6 months-1 year if you put effort into it. I’d say I’m pretty decent at Thai after learning for 6 months. Enough to order food, talk everyday conversations, say what I like and dislike, and lots of curses 😅 lol! I speak with a native at least 2-3 times per week via Preply, Instagram, and Facebook, and use online resources like KZbin, Mondly, and Pimsleur. There are free ways like language exchange on italki but I find I’m lazy and would rather pay someone to make a lesson plan for me haha!!
