First Impressions of HANOI, Vietnam's Capital City

[@datgal2u]

I heard a Korean tourist did something idiotic and got hurt so they closed down train street...thus ruining the experience for everyone else. Ugh. That bridge you guys tried to cross was crazy! I wonder if it was just regular rush hour or something else. Wow. Really love your happy vibe.

閉鎖前にこの線路沿いへ行きました。今は確かに残念な部分もありますが、ハノイは見所が沢山あるので楽しめますよね。お二人のenjoyされてる画が素敵です。

Running through the lively streets of Hanoi with duck noodles, bok choy and a Saigon beer for a picnic by the lake - you're living the life.

[@EoinandAisling]

The best life haha

Love your videos. From Phils

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you so much 💛

How did you guys know which way the buses went, and can you just pay cash when entering a bus? Also, did you leave most of your stuff at your hotel? I’m planning on going there somewhere next year :) Edit, also one more thing, how did you make sure your phone or wallet etc isn’t stolen? I was thinking of buying a waist bag but you guys seem to do fine without? Cheers and enjoy!

[@EoinandAisling]

We always check the buses on the public transport section on Google maps, it keeps us right with the direction the bus is going so we can judge which side of the road to stand on. We have a small bag that we sometimes carry for our phone, money etc but alot of the time we don't use it. We felt very safe in Vietnam, always be aware keep your valuables on you but you should be fine. If you are buying a bag to keep things in get one that crosses across your body so you can always keep a close eye on it and your belongings

[@datgal2u]

Vietnam is a safe country compared to most. Violent crimes are super rare there, especially towards tourists. Worst that may happen is you'll get your phone or wallet stolen in the bigger cities, so don't take your phone out to record while on a motorbike without holding on tight as it can get snatched. Women can travel solo without worries. Use Google translate if you need help from locals, especially out in rural areas. Avoid Bui Vien at night while in HCMC/Saigon unless that's the type of "fun" you're looking for as it's known for drugs and prostitutes.

Chinese chess is the name of the game

[@EoinandAisling]

Thank you! We will have to learn more about it

Can they understand English language?

[@EoinandAisling]

Who?

[@tunaung8570]

Vietnamese?

[@seppukun208]

It’s called Chinese Chess. It’s like a more slower and boring version of regular chess, which is called “King Chess” here 😊

[@EoinandAisling]

Aw no way! We only recently learnt it was Chinese chess but didn't know the actual name

[@bobwin1307]

Chinese checkers
