One trick everyone need to notice when cross the road in saigon is that you need to put your one hand up, the vehicles is slow speed, and it help you cross the road easier. It is considered as a signal for tolerance :))

[@keisone]

Great vid bro! I love Saigon too, Vietnam is amazing!!

[@passportmarc]

Couldn't agree more! thanks for watching bro !

[@GoneAdrift]

Have to get to Hanoi Vietnam soon

[@passportmarc]

[@Grimreapervlogs]

Awesome bro this has been my favourite video of yours so far. One day ill visit Vietnam

[@passportmarc]

Thanks man ! appreciate the love :)

[@StreetFoodSection]

Vietnam has some delicious and amazing street food 😍

[@joyjourneysvn]

Saigon is truly beautiful, isn't it, my friend? There are plenty of places to have fun, and Vietnam offers many fascinating destinations to explore. If possible, I recommend visiting from December to April. This time of year is exceptionally stunning, with ideal weather for experiencing it all. Wishing you a joyful journey, my friend 😎

[@passportmarc]

It really is! Can’t wait to go back

[@honeybee4393]

HI Marc, great vid . Thanks for the recommendations i definitely going to that bar on 3rd floor across the waking street and the mekong river tour .

Have fun!

Welcome to Vietnam. I hope you enjoy it in SG. You should try to go to Da Năng, it's a beautiful place and clean

Looking forward to it 😎

If you'd like to see beautiful peaceful landscapes, you should travel north of Vietnam.

[@passportmarc]

Looking forward to traveling there next year ! Ha Giang Loop is on my bucket list for sure ! :)

[@sonder007]

Yes the north is beautiful but the foods suck

[@AP-jd4fs]

​@@sonder007 Agreed. I was born in Saigon So, the food was abundant with a wide variety. Up north, especially rural areas, there's not so many choices. But it's not bad to explore beautiful landscapes and experience local food and cultures.

[@passportmarc]

@@AP-jd4fs i heard the beer is always hot up north 😅

[@AP-jd4fs]

@@passportmarc I'm not sure. I have never tried beer in the north. From what I heard, northerners like to drink draft beer made by locals and it is very cheap. Vietnam is a tropical country so they like to drink beer with some ice in it. 🙂

[@hatduong2023Tv-tf1gi]

I used to travel like you do to vn back in the 05, still remember the surprises feeling when I arrived.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="762">12:42</a> when she said the price is 200 or 300 means 200k vnd or 300k vnd. Between 8 and 12 usd which is a normal price for lobster.

[@passportmarc]

Yeah i caught my mistake after the upload 😅 nice catch

[@pn3940]

I had pho in Toronto and Montreal, not sure still the same or not, but they were like American soup. :-).

[@pn3940]

Bánh mì in Canada is good though.

[@passportmarc]

Montreal has some decent Pho not going to lie, but everything tastes better when you're on vacation :)

[@autohoanggia]

If you want to know the authentic taste of pho just go to Vietnam, because the pho restaurants in Canada is different the original taste

[@_alxxxG]

Where is the shot in ur thumbnail? Is that saigon or just elsewhere in vietnam?

[@passportmarc]

AI generated bu my friend @keisone

[@PhucLe-dv1gl]

It's savage to see you put soy sauce into pho :)))

[@passportmarc]

Was it not hoisin? 😅

[@PhucLe-dv1gl]

That was soy sauce bro, hoisin way more condense and thicker, and hoisin normally is likely opaque dark brown rather than translucent black in soy sauce. Btw, you can come back and have another try =))

@@americanoqueen513 Not sure I understand what you mean ? Gia Định was the original name, then Saigon… afterwards the name was changed to Ho Chi Minh City, to honor the revolutionary leader who had declared independence back in 1945. Well that’s what the Vietnamese tour guide said anyways

Surprised u missed the chu chi tunnels (vietnam war tour) + range firing... visit to the war museum with the old planes + even the pulitzer award for "terror of war". Anyway if u aint ready to splurge, bui ven or even general viet drinks are out due to language + their patience level unlike that of the much friendlier thai.

Next time around 🙏🏼 I knew of it but I figured id go back do it with my gf

Not a big fan of Hoisin but I think he put soy sauce in Pho?

Im still positive it was Hoisin, but then again im filming and thinking about what to say and the next shot, so I might have put that in, distractions haha.. but I dont usually add much
