[@Siri-Tahl]

Terry, your videos continue to show the joy and good side of humanity. There are a lot more kind and loving people throughout this world than the darkness is trying to swallow. Children are our most precious gift.

[@BarefootVlogger]

Such kind words, thank you Starr!

[@georgeh1352]

What nice words....very true!

[@Siri-Tahl]

@@georgeh1352 thank you, but it's true. There are many vloggers out there but Terry and Svetlogger are such lovely people and resonate with me very much. IMO, We need to showcase the amazing everyday people and stop giving energy to the evil and negativity of the entertainment industry.

Hi, I’m Vietnamese and live in Florida, I’ve been watching your videos in VN, just letting you know that in VN, you can buy banh mi or other foods somewhere else and bring it to any coffee place and order drinks and eat there. No problem at all, I hope it helps:) have fun 😊

[@BarefootVlogger]

Hi Tina! That is good to know for my next trip thanks!

[@retireditguy2014]

Fantastic video. Thanks for getting out of the tourist areas. The blue sign at time 0:25 is not a street sign. It says it is a cultural area. These are typically alleys which are set aside for preservation. If you want a suggestion for a Vlog, try the rooftop bar in the old section of the Caravelle Hotel. It is a bar/restaurant with a lot of history and used to be a wild place. I haven’t been there in years and I heard it has been modernized and is a much more reserved place now.

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thanks for the insight IT Guy, great info and suggestion!

At last , you were in D1 :-) Was in D3 March , yes did the walking street for old times sake :-) Bought a cheap beer at the 711 and cruised . Yes , a bit loud :-) And 30 k dong was a good price , was paying 25 k for a Banh Mi outside my hotel . 10k for a nice icecream cone :-) I just did Buon Ma Thuot , Da Lat and Nha Trang this time . itching to get back . Tet is chaos and a little more expensive , did you not see firework displays ? Where to next in Nam ?
