Hi Kurt ! Welcome to VN . You were actually one of the rare Westerners who got the chance to attend that religious ceremony . That religion is an old traditional belief in VN , called Dao Tho Mâu ( the worshipping of the Mother Goddesses ) . The lady who was dancing on the stage is a spirit medium .Back at that moment she was possessed by the spirit of Ong Hoang Muoi ( the 10th Prince of Heaven ) , the deity who gives wealth and success in life to the attending persons . So keep the lucky money in the envelope that the other lady gave you . That unique to VN religion is recognized as an intangible cultural world heritage by UNESCO .

In the last part, the family said they ran out of pho (it was late at night so they were sitting down for dinner) and the rice was "com rang" which translates literally to fried rice haha. The reason the rice tasted so good was because the best fried rice is made from day old rice so it taste crispier than you'd get from fresh rice. The guy's wife made you food from their kitchen as if you're a long lost relative that just stumbled in :)

Then the cane lady started telling him there is no chance you understand what the guy was saying, kinda funny to listen to because the guy was just slurring so much that I really couldn't understand some of what he was trying to say.

[@GoToDirtySouth]

Thank you. Was searchin for a comment like this one 🤝

[@Rookssssss]

Let me reclarify the situation a bit more because its been bugging me not being able to understand what he's trying to say haha. The guy is trying to slip in english/russian words, sometimes it ends up being a big ol' slur of a bunch of words or he's got a pre-notation of how English words are meant to be. For example alot of people like to say good as goot. My assumption is that my family has just been too lazy to actually pronounce the D, but it may as well be a pre-notation because I hear plenty from the country side people speaking in such a way. You can hear him say "capital" with a t sound at the end, same idea. Again though alot of it really is just him saying gibberish because viet people who just don't care speak in a sort of gestured and short sounds sorta way. Almost like saying hmm for every little thing. It's quirky nontheless and they try, can't fault em for not trying yknow. Another thing, he was pointing to the other side of the road and saying that there's a hotel with a 5 star casino.

Then I realized Kurt was putting out real content & substance so I went back & watched all his earlier uploads. Took me forever as I work 6 days a week. He’s easy on the eyes, but he’s real & he’s genuine. He doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Even when folks in foreign lands piss him off, he isn’t an asshat to them & he basically walks off. I can admire that. He calls them on their BS when they’re trying to rip him off. I seriously feel he’s the only KZbinr out there that goes where he goes, is inquisitive about each place, & truly wants to understand their customs & their people. Not to mention that street food & local beer. I’m just hooked. I wish he’d compete on MTV’s The Challenge.

Just some loyal, humble, family oriented people. Ps- I can’t believe you wore that soldier getup in public lol Edit: I forgot to mention my former mother in law is Buddhist. In her living room there’s an entire wall that’s a shrine dedicated to her dead relatives. It has a Buddha statue, individual pictures of all of her relatives with electric candles that light them all the time, incense burners, all kinds of trinkets and mementos, and she puts out fresh fruit on plates for them every few days.

One of the best videos you've done Kurt. I've always been fascinated with Vietnam and you showed it incredibly well. I do find it funny though that after all the traveling you've done, you never picked up any chop stick skills lol

[@yarrowcentral]

Hands down the best content in the history of media. Thanks for sharing the ride man

[@ChrispyWRX]

Holy shiznet. Kurt really got himself in it this time. Love to watch the random shenanigans. Absolute legend. Also: Wearing a WW2 - Vietnam Era American Helmet is crazy being white in Vietnam to me hahaha

[@Rodrigo-tk2fm]

After he ate the Pho, I thought that the men outside by the memorial plaque were eyeing him for his outfit.

[@eazeazeaz]

The outfit is crazy lmao. Im sure the guy at that restaurant killed lots of dudes that looked like exactly like Kurt.

It’s really inspiring Kurt to see you walking around everywhere, curious to find new stuff. You are a good example of the mindset you gotta have to travel like this

[@Zmansour99]

As someone currently travelling in Vietnam this video was so funny but also inspiring. Kurt travels in the best way possible, just flinging his way into any situation he can.

I am from Texas. I went to Vietnam for the first time last August to visit family and go on a week long motorcycle tour. Beautiful country. Beautiful people. 10/10 would go back. Saigon, Mui Ne, Phan Rang, Da Lat (go see Laurence How at Moto.Laurie Cafe & Bistro), Cat Tien, and back to Saigon. I want to go back and explore Northern Vietnam next time.

[@tuananhtranhuu]

It is more spectacular for bikers in Central & Northern Vietnam There are many place where the mountain reach the sea so you can ride a pass while viewing the waves In the north you can find the paddy fields of rice along a river/stream in a valley amongst mountains or terrain fields at middle to top of a hill especially at the time the rice is ripening or pass in rocky plateau Some name to recommend: Mộc châu, Phù yên/ Tà xùa, Mù căng chải/ Tú lệ, Sapa, Hoàng su phì, Hà giang loop, Thác bà, Ba bể, Tam đảo....Northern is richer for culture & tribal ethnic

Yeah I 100% agree with you I live in orange county California we have the highest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and they are some of the nicest hardworking people ive seen.

Hello, chef from Poland here. I can confirm, I used to work in a burger restaurant in Szczecin and one of the waitresses was Vietnamese. Her name was May.

Another great vid from Kurt ! We were just in Vietnam, go there every year. The people are nice, the food is excellent, and the country is beautiful.

[@SchneiderOSRS]

5 years ago I spent a few weeks north of Hanoi in the mountains near the chinese border. The small villages and towns were some of the most welcoming people to foreigners. We would eat food, play games, and join in their community events completely naturally. The best meal I've ever had was when we were invited to a family's home and had about 15 different dishes. An absolutely amazing country!

Vietnam is my favorite country to travel to. The people are the best. Can't wait to go back to visit.

[@Obamas_Nipple]

would i be safe going there by myself? Is english a common second language or is it mostly vietnamese?

[@n-i-c-k]

@@Obamas_Nipple without knowing anything about you, I can't answer that. Would I like for my sister or girlfriend going ANYWHERE outside of their home country alone? No. I see too many stories and that honestly applies even to other cities in our own country. English was pretty common but it doesn't hurt to learn a few basic phrases before you go. I think they appreciate it.

@@Obamas_NippleVietnam is safer than big cities in the US. English is coming in big cities less so in rural areas like these areas in the video

[@n-i-c-k]

@@Obamas_Nipple Don't mistake what I said. When I traveled in Asia, not once did I (or my girlfriend) feel threatened - and we actually went sort of deep into the Vietnamese countryside. I've been to Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong and Korea. In fact, I would definitely recommend traveling to Vietnam or any other countries I've been to. Just remember to do a lot of research, be aware of your surroundings, and the customs of locals. Maybe go with a friend who'd enjoy traveling, too. There's nothing like seeing what else the World has to offer.

[@Nowthatsart]
