As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30K of them, due to misdiagnosis and being and cramped into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolations, so that they had to sleep on the concrete floors, with inadequate food, water, or medicine, like animals, with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Koea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

"It's Eastern Sea that's what we called it here cause it's not Chinese", I liked how he said it🤠🤠🤠

[@jimmylemaryland6776]

@Thao Nguyen It should be called South East Asia Sea instead but yeah you are right Bien Dong Viet Nam.

[@silverstone3578]

Actually, around 2014 Vietnamese scholars and mainstream media had already make clear that South China Sea is a norm used internationally, they have no problem with that at all. The problems are, on one hand Chinese media at that time tried to bend it to the side of historical water, with hints that the name have a possessive meaning in it, check Standford articles about that for more detail. To argue with that, Vietnames scholars cited many evidence that Chinese documents and maps that Chinese used the name East Sea themselves, and that's all about the debate. On the other hand, there's a worry that some extremists wanted to make a mess out of it. To sum up, most people can't capture the complicated story around it, they're just worry that China want to rob the sea that they had been fishing, not that they want to be hostile with people.

[@tandalat]

Mike: The South China sea. Nate: Well, the Eastern sea as we call it here 'cause it's not Chinese. 👍 :D

[@quanglam874]

U got that Mike..

[@vungtauboatclub]

That’s great. I like it.

[@20luzer52]

My how things have changed. VN is changing so fast and on such massive scale, not just HCMC or Hanoi either. Hai Phong, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, wow. As for Mike's inquiry at @ 10:50 mark, that's Saigon Tourist Restaurant/Park Van Thanh complex.

[@HuyLuu-ry2rf]

wow, Nate knows much about Saigon than me a Vietnamese living here about 8 years. i'm really impressive about his knowledge. thank for making the video, welcome to VietNam, Mike ^^

[@xecoTV1023]

Thanks Mike for your sharing. It’s absolutely a stunning place to have coffee with friends. I can’t agree more with your friend on that it is Eastern Sea, NOT Chinese! 😁

[@Chaintis]

That was something! Wow! What a view. Saigon seems like a cutting-edge city of the future. I can't wait to get back to Southeast Asia!

[@doodahgurlie]

That's an amazing view! Really love seeing the city from that height and perspective.

[@livinginphuketthailand]

It really is! Glad you enjoyed it mate.

Looks fantastic! We'll be visiting HCMC quite soon and considering Landmark 81 as one of sightseeing locations. A question: Is there a dress code in that cafe at 75th floor? At least many people wearing shorts on this video, probably not? Anyway thanks for the great video!

[@dougm3037]

Hi Mike. I'm also going to be staying in district 7 possibly in the same hotel as you. Looks a lot like Sabina Residence but I may be wrong. How much did the grab bike ride set you back? The view from the 75th floor looks very impressive, better than the one at the heli bar at Bitexco. Mind you they serve alcohol at Heli which is a bonus in my book. Hope you get a chance to check out the area you're staying in. Save me a bit of leg work. lol

[@livinginphuketthailand]

Hi Doug, the bike ride to Vinhomes was about 65k I think, or $3. D7 is a good spot to live, lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops.

[@xecoTV1023]

Btw, the cost of a grab bike is NOT fixed, but flexible and reasonable, depending heavily on your time of booking. It increases significantly at peak hours.

[@dougm3037]

@@xecoTV1023 True. I've used them dozens of times and the price varies quite a bit. I heard they'd recently increased the fares so I was interested in what Mike paid. Seems a reasonable charge for a long ride like that.

Exactly like Scott says, it's Visa dependent. IMy understanding is that once you get a long stay visa and residency permit you can open one. Not done it personally yet, but will make a video when I do. Cheers

not cheap mate. Was about $6 for a coffee compared to $1 on the street. Paying for the view though so can't complain!
