OUR FIRST TIME IN VIETNAM (it's wild and chaotic!)

[@margaretadler6162]

on our first of five trips to Vietnam the first thing I noticed was how friendly the people were! We have traveled to many places in Vietnam and it's the same every place we've been, just amazingly friendly people! After being here for a year and a half because of the pandemic my wife and I sold everything we owned and moved to Hoi an Vietnam. It's the best decision we've ever made!

[@avtv.vietnam3381]

😅

[@GiangHoang-hd8uk]

All right decision. For me, everyday to eat banh mi+ cafe sữa

[@Milyas10]

Thanks Greg and Halary, that you both are putting your efforts to make a such a good videos for us! Apriciated !

[@mexicowalking2057]

what an interesting place friend, I find the video very beautiful and relaxing, I liked walking with you 👍🏻

[@kinetickennons]

thank you! Thanks for coming along!

[@SuperEZdong]

Welcome Both of you to Hanoi where I and my family are living at present years! Please eat the famous food in here such as pho, bun, etc and see several historical places here! Enjoy your trip with more clips of our capital city of Hanoi- the city of peace and green! I hope to see more clips from you!

[@jairlopez2124]

Pho is literally one of the best international dishes you can have but try tendon beef! You are welcome

[@laurajensvold1442]

I had so much fun watching y'all thru Mexico where I spend most of my solo slow travels and was SO sad when you left. But NOW...Vietnam... you made we want to go so badly that i promised myself I will by early January for my birthday and spend a month there and other SE Asia countries. You convinced me to give up my hard earned $5 and finally join ya!

[@kinetickennons]

aww LOVE THIS!!!

[@christinedailey9254]

Again, another great video! We are really enjoying your travels beyond Mexico. I hope your other viewers are seeing that there is a big world beyond Mexico (where I happen to live). Thanks for having fun and taking us along. Instagram photo for sure of Greg sitting with his knees to his ears at that table! LOL!!! LOVE IT!

[@kinetickennons]

aww thank you so much Christine!

[@ForeverChanged7]

Wow! Viet Nam in peace time. Hanoi. I think of Jane Fonda during the Viet Nam war. Google it. Interesting. They called her Hanoi Jane. I think of the movie, Apocalypse Now. The ppl and that culture appears to really enjoy Americans but tourism as a whole. Seemed soooo friendly. The food looks soooo good. The Pho looked fabulous at the night market. The night club area you guys found is a rowdy place according to another KZbinr who spent some time( a few hours in the wee hrs of the morning) reported the place got raided by their law enforcement. Lol. Full of fun and literal mischief. Just like any other place, Loved this video. Stay safe great video. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@Eargulp]

God please don’t talk about these human beings as if they’re attractions. They’re humans. They just don’t live in a barbaric western individualistic society.

[@Stoney_Snark]

My brother has spent years in Asia, though he still lives in Seattle. He loves Vietnam almost as much as he does Japan, where he lived for several years.

[@kinetickennons]

oh wow! That is awesome!

[@frankalex9574]

Hi

[@chiaraA.]

You’re both so full of excitement

[@ginnylyons7665]

Seems there were way more scooters when I was there. Traffic rules were just a suggestion, but you could safely cross busy streets and they just wove around you!

[@avtv.vietnam3381]

😂

[@greggbryson3957]

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Much love.

[@davebacon6194]

been watching you guys for a while, never saw hill have that good of a first impression

[@kinetickennons]

awww!! I am SO excited to be in Vietnam. We have some incredible stories to be told :)

[@davebacon6194]

wow, now i'm really interested!

[@tunemistress8433]

I agree....WALK on the moving sidewalk people! Love all the food coverage - Anne

[@locyentam]

Don't miss Ha Long Bay cruise, Ninh Binh inland Ha Long, Hoi An ancient town and many other places.

[@kinetickennons]

thank you!

[@มนสิทธิ์จันทน์หอม]

Hope you enjoy your Vietnam trip. Miss you from Thailand.

[@kinetickennons]

Awww!! We will be back some day!

[@_llv22]

Crucial tips for visiting Hanoi/Vietnam in general: 1. Ignore the wandering snack sellers (like donut). They will try to rip you off, you don't have to be friendly to them just ignore. 2. Keep your pace steady while crossing the street, only avoid cars, the scooters will drive around you as long as ur predictable in your move. 3. When eating noodle meals, the best way is to put some lemon/kumquat + vinegar +pepper and chilly sauce, garlic chilly mixture into the bowl and mix it up. Definitely elevate the meal. 4. Any service from an app or a street vendor with a brand would not rip you off, though those who wander around the street might. Those people even try to rip off Vietnamese tourists. Use grab app for transportation.

[@NK72TO]

Looks amazing and I love Vietnamese food :)

[@daynaupho]

Vietnamese people are very interested in KZbin. You should do more Vietnamese subtitles, you will get a lot of fans. Wish you have an interesting experience about Vietnam.

[@jimmycasas]

What a hustling and bustling town of Hanoi. Thanks for taking us along on this incredible journey as well as your bucket list. You guys should have boarded the train through the downtown area.

[@fairview6120]

What you ate at 4:25 is kind of donut-type and the filling is a mung bean paste. It's probably not too sweet (to save the sugar for profit), and it's a kind of Asian dessert snack, so it's relatively healthy. At 8:12 it is a chili paste, a teaspoon of it is suitable for those who can't handle the spiciness. With Pho, you either use fresh chili or this sriracha. Making a living in VN is still a struggle for many, just like in Bangkok Thailand, or Mexico. The livelihood in VN still depends heavily on tourism. Scams do occur but I hope you guys understand.

[@phanthietvn]

Thanks for sharing! Great video

[@cindyk3076]

Great to see Hillary's enthusiasm back! Other youtubers in VietNam loved it as well. I remember as a teenager seeing clips of the war, watching you guys visit there is good but kinda weird, lol. Looking forward to your next video! (The things you said you missed when in Thailand and like in VietNam sound like the things you loved in Mexico!)

[@damonmorris5874]

Awesome first video of Vietnam guys!!!

[@VietnamSteve]

When I land in Hanoi I feel like I’m home!

[@Rovenega]

♥️ You guys had me cracking up on the translation of Hanoi 🏍🏍🤣 I just got back from Greece and tried being a KZbinr 😑 FAILED! Had the camera in front of me and was like 😕 what do I say to myself 😳 🤣😅 I’ll keep trying though. In the meantime, I’ll keep enjoying your videos. 🙌🏼

[@kinetickennons]

wooo gooo gracias amigo!

[@user-ws6ss2he5w]

this is my first time watching you guys and love the energy that you guys exude. absolutely digging how open you guys are to everything. just a side note because you mentioned that you don't know much culturally about vietnam, vietnam was actually the only southeast asian country that was apart of the east asian sinosphere. meaning that the culture, if you must compare, is most similar to chinese. just wanted to note this bc i saw you guys comparing it to other southeast asian countries like thailand (who used to follow indian culture), so just a heads up there aren't much similarities between vn and the rest. happy touring!

[@avalonmist254]

You guys are So Much Fun

[@angvu]

Love your travels in Mexico over the years, but I’m glad to see you guys exploring Southeast Asia. I’m Vietnamese American and I recommend finding a banh mi cart (pronounced more like baan me). It’s like a viet torta with French bread. Also try an iced coffee with condensed milk 👌 very strong, so maybe one to share at first.

[@itstammyhere]

gonna go there soon!!! which places you recommend ?

[@kinetickennons]

ohh thank you for this recommendation!

[@rodneyp9590]

Agree on the moving sidewalks, and escalators to a lesser extent. It’s fun on those things try sprinting, it’s thrilling

[@AgentOrange69420]

With you on the moving sidewalks! Try Pho sate (or satay) . Its beef but comes with some spice and a bit more flavor in the broth than the basic one you got.

[@musicful7036]

Go to Sai Gon, Ho Chi Minh city you'll be surprised. Don't judge a place where you've been there for only less than 12 hours.

[@mwiebe2663]

I’m definitely a “walk on moving sidewalks” person. 😊 I feel like I have a fast walking super power!

[@kinetickennons]

haha you are so right--it feels like we have a walking super power!

Going back to Vietnam in Feb. After many trips to Mexico, I have decided Vietnam is where I would like to retire. Philippines and Guatemala didn't feel safe. Plus I feel Vietnam is the cheapest of the countries I mentioned.

[@dianawestrup7416]

Los quiero, gringos! Saludos desde Cancun!

[@barry_kelly]

Hillary you are so funny. Adorable. Did you guys cover the coffee there? Vietnamese coffee is big business. Have you guys ever seen "Legons of the Fall"? When Greg's hair was long I thought he looked like Tristin from that movie. Can you grow it back so everyone can see? Haha. Good video. Safe Travels.

[@kinetickennons]

oh COURSE you know we try lots of coffee during our time here!

[@nikkih8690]

I live in DC area & we hate it when tourists stand on both sides of the escalators. Stand to the right, walkers on the left. I abide by those same rules on moving sidewalks. As someone with knees from hell, I sometimes need to just stand...but to right of course. LoL

[@deanguy66]

Nice vid. My brother and his friend have been visiting there this week. You probably passed them on the street. Ha!

[@MeatballMedic]

Doner Kebab in Vietnam? This might be the next stamp on my passport.

[@kinetickennons]

It is unbelievable but some people just have the luxury to just do nothing else than wait on a rolling sidewalk. 😆😜

[@somelikeithot444]

You both r hilarious 😂 Great video.

[@BasicEnglish1o1]

I'm not sure about the meaning of Hanoi for "the city of motorbike (fyi: Ho Chi Minh city has way more motorbike than Hanoi), because "Ha" means water or river, and "Noi" means central or center. I'm guessing you know Bangkok about 70% and VN about 5%. Regardless, welcome to Vietnam and have a great time.

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

Taiwan has great streetfood, be sure to get an oyster omelet while there.

[@nadrienmarkowski5595]

Hi there, I usually watch your videos a little bit at a time. (short attention span) This time I watched the entire video one time and smiled throughout the entire video. I visited Saigon in 2019 after watching Ken Burns' Vietnam stories on PBS. The motos scared the crap out of me. I felt like I was in a real life whack a mole game. I hope you get to Cambodia! Safe travels!

I am Mexican and learned to use chopsticks when visiting a Corean Factory in Monterrey so I could blend better with the customer, they appreciated that, after that I started using chopsticks more often now up to the point I have them at home, I found I enjoy food more like that, since the portions you eat are smaller that way you enjoy flavor more. Yes I eat Mexican food using chopsticks 😂😂😂, l have visited several countries in Asia and to be honest is great not to have to ask for a fork while eating there !
