Mountain Rat Dinner Vietnam 🇻🇳

[@HaraldBaldr]

■ Mama Zee's Homestay links ⛰ - Instagram: mamazee.homestay - Google Maps: Mama Zee’s Homestay Please remember she cannot read so voice message is the way to communicate. Also she told me some of you have sent her a message on instagram and when she sees it a day or two later and responds, she gets a reply saying 'sorry you didn't answer within 15 minutes so now we have left Sa Pa or went somewhere else'. Please understand this is not some normal hotel but a real family with a busy schedule. So reach out many days in advance of you going to Sa Pa if you want to visit, eat or stay here. ■ More Vietnam videos from this part of the country 🇻🇳 ■ I Stayed in a Hmong Village - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoaroaKfqNODas0 ■ Vietnam Mountain Village BBQ - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aabFqZhtmt6JnMU ■ Vietnam's English Speaking Enclave - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5fanqp-bJyhbtU

Happy to see you again Mr. Harald in Mama Zee place. And out of 1 to 10 how's the taste of winter rattatue?😅😂😂😂

[@OfficeV.]

It is not hygienic to sleep in a bed where other people slept while inheriting the same unwashed blankets. Eating rats is despicable. Going to visit someone unannounced and stay for the night if they are not your first degree relatives is not done. They are polite not to tell you upfront, but use some common sense. How can they be happy and suprised to see you, when they don't even recognize who you are. Don't think like a westerner. Use some common sense.

[@mrssunbeam000]

I didn't think about the fact at all that she can't read! It's just so normal/natural for us westerners that everyone can. I'm now feeling a bit ashamed that I just assumed that 😅 I was wondering why her comments were off on TikTok. Wanted to wish her a happy new year ☺️

Thank you as always for taking us with you on your travels. You are one of the reasons I watch KZbin. Ignore the people that want only happy videos. You are popular, because you are authentic.

You deserve the accolade for being the most intrepid humorous adventurer. I really enjoyed your 2024 videos with Noodles in Orleans and Vegas, and your solo journeys covering India and Nepal. The Ganges videos were amazing. You deserve the love of all humanity.

[@Christoph1179]

Mama Zee and her husband are a wonderful example of how you don't need much in life to be happy. Their deep inner contentment and their positive charisma are admirable. ❤

[@Christoph1179]

By the way...I just ordered the rum that you brought as a gift. The description made me curious. 🥃

[@HapigeonChannel]

Theyre so wonderful that they dont let Harald sleep at their house, he was damn drunk

[@AndyPrimo1]

But they in fact do have everything in life. A house they built themselves, land to grow crops and raise animals, beautiful surroundings and surrounded by family close by. They are far better off than most of us in the West

[@HaraldBaldr]

@@HapigeonChannel "Theyre so wonderful that they dont let Harald sleep at their house" - They told me to stay countless times but I didn't as I had an appointment to go see how Lily's mom makes clothes the next day in the city at 12:00. So had to check out from hotel and be ready for that so decided to not stay the night. Why comment on something you know nothing about to try to make a good family look bad? 🤔

I agree with what others have said. Thank you for being honest and genuine. Some days don’t work out but you still showed us that and continued on. Always happy to see when you upload.

[@HeidiSK-Walks]

I just wanna encourage everyone to give this video a chance, even if you are not into watching the "rat BBQ" thing, that is so short and can be easily skipped, so don't let the title drive you away. This video is so rich in authentic experiences, thank you Harald. I really really is worth watching.

[@markagerman1223]

So glad you returned to Mama Zee her work ethic is mind blowing and it’s brilliant she has met someone like yourself.

[@Dionysus-gv9lz]

I have to say this was actually one of your funnier videos; because you woke up with a massive hangover and then your whole day turned to shit! I loved seeing you start to loose your mind with everyone, the chef coughing in the pizza, the woman not showing up on time, the taxi with the plastic wrap, the idiot driving the hotel golf cart, the beggars, the hotel scam, I was laughing my ass off! 🤣 😂

[@HaraldBaldr]

Man, I absolutely love your travel videos where you visit people and showcase the landscapes, villages, the food and how the live. It's so fascinating to watch and feels incredibly authentic. You present everything as it is, no fluff, and I really appreciate that. Keep up the amazing work, Haraldo! You are truly the gem of travel vlogs. Skol!

[@xiaoman994]

This is an most important video Harald. Thanks. I travel a lot and a lot of times things don’t go how you planned them to be. That is the exciting thing from traveling but sometime I also ‘break’ down and have enough haha. And you even had a hangover hahah. And still vlogged it (which can be very draining) respect man. I wish you good ‘luck’ on your next travel. Peace

[@NotoriousMoshii]

Good news, I have been taking my medication and I personally am happy for the way you handled your day going downhill, people forget to put themselves in your position, I remember that lady from last time, I believe she did the same exact thing, it will never stop. On the other hand I like Mama Z, her Husband and family, they are always good to see, they are good people.

[@HaraldBaldr]

Thank you for keeping up with your meds 🤣 Yup she stalked the hell out of me last time too and had not changed one bit in 6 months. She basically ruins the perception of the city for countless tourists passing through here every day 🤦🏼‍♂

[@EddieManning]

Hey Joe Mackenroe from Australia! 555. The northmman smashed this one out of the park. Thanks Harald, we are watching this in Bangkok, my Cambodian GF was laughing so much at your interactions. Great to see you back with Mama Zee and her family. OMG, full bottle of whiskey gone. GF just loves fresh BBQ rat. The conversation with the turkeys was so funny too. Great to see you back in SE Asia. It is true, all us whiteys do look same to the locals.

[@RurouniKenshinShinta]

To be fair Herald, you have impressively good facial memory, always shocked me how well you remember people even years after meeting them for short time. I think that's a gift dude lol, not everyone has the ability to remember people's faces to that extent. That part of what makes you unique, you remember everyone you interact with and people appreciate it. Personally I think it's a gift.

[@JudyLangfield]

Thankyou for giving me such a great insight into Vietnam. I am going there soon and have learnt a lot from your Videos. Thankyou again and Safe travels.

[@ManiacsWorld]

First I gotta say that Mama Zee and her family just seem so great. I'm happy she is getting more business from your viewers. Second, all the people that complain about the other stuff, they have clearly never travelled. Anyone that has ever travelled, especially solo, or something even slightly adventurous, has had days like that. Kudos for keeping it real.

[@keithfry4908]

In the words of the great poet Robert Burns “ the best laid plans of mice and men”. One did enjoy the visit to Mama Z and one also almost went out in sympathy with you in the pig pen. Lol. As for appointments in Asian countries, they don’t seem to carry the same weight as they do in the west. Never the less the video WAS enjoyed, warts and all. Well done under the circumstances. Cheers🍺🇦🇺

[@Psiilocybe]

Its great content as always, it's authentic and perfectly understandable. Its human to have a bad (wasnt even that bad imo) mood. I dont understand the negative comments. Especially if your Hotel didnt meet expectations, you havent slept very much, are hungover, had to walk in the night before because road blocked and yet "have" to film for us. I really appreciate to you just being yourself. I enjoyed watching as I did with every video yet. I loved the mamazee and sapa videos in summer and was happy to see you there again. Have a good time and a happy new year.
