Street food in Hanoi - random street, random dishes

[@Oytz]

This was a treat to watch. You're a great KZbinr

[@selwyn581]

Thanks Mark. What a great video, as usual ! Your knowledge and insight into real Vietnamese culture and the changes going on in Viet Nam are without equal, as well as an obvious deep love and respect for the people. Keep up the good work.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Thanks Selwyn!

[@lisalocey]

The couple at the end made my heart melt! Love that you speak fluently and give us a glimpse of VN with your videos. I'm American Vietnamese and look forward to visiting VN one day. That banh cuon looked perfect.

[@tomtom2356]

good one Mark. you knew Vn more than anyone of us here.

[@ucviet1]

Nice couple.... Heartwarming

[@Raszagal1983]

wonderful channel mark, your vids are so insightful and you make a real connection with the locals which is something very few travel vlogs actually do.

[@59jaguar]

Thanks mark Love the impromptu vids like this

[@andyhui01]

Love this tour. I wish I could improve my Conversational Vietnamese so I can speak to locals too.

[@78deathface]

I'm trying to learn some Vietnamese right now for an upcoming return trip, it's SO DIFFICULT! But I know that if I really try and practice it'll make my experience that much better.

[@andyhui01]

My vocabulary improved by 50% everyday that I'm there. If you put in the effort, you'll learn quickly. But I do forget quickly between my trips to VN :(

[@78deathface]

Do you have any tips for learning? Do you use any specific books or videos? I'm mostly learning through KZbin videos right now and making flash cards to help remember words and phrases.

[@78deathface]

It's 6am in western Canada where I am and I'm thinking how much better some Hanoi street food looks right now than my bowl of cereal... When I was in Hanoi a few years ago they were saying that the government was cracking down on street vendors, I'm glad to see they're still at it and adapting to the situation.

[@hienvu4239]

Nice to meet you.I'm living near Hoan Kiem lake

[@Mike-ow4em]

I just discovered your channel. Really love your contents. Amazing work sir. Keep it up! Love from Vietnam!

[@78deathface]

Hey Mark, you should make some more of your Vietnamese Language lessons videos, they were really good and helpful! It's my dream to be able to talk to people the way you do.

[@nguyenloi2908]

[@CaptnJackHammer]

[@jamesmay3863]

That vid is awesome 👌

[@JasonRuppVlog]

Awesome quality. What camera and gimbal are you using? :)

[@rustycompasstravel]

No gimbal - using the Sony FDR X3000. Awesome little toy.

[@JasonRuppVlog]

Rusty Compass nice it is working out well for sure. 👍🏿👍🏿

[@michaelbraithwaite4435]

why did you say there won't be any more places like this in Hanoi sometime soon? is the government cracking down on sidewalk eateries like this? thanks

[@rustycompasstravel]

There have been crackdowns - then they reappear. But it seems unlikely that they'll survive another decade or so. No imminent new threats as far as I'm aware.

[@ric44n]

"Tay" means French person in vietnamese.

[@rustycompasstravel]

Actually "Tay" means "West" in Vietnamese - in this case "Westerner".

[@tombnguyen]

Mark, are you fluent in Vietnamese? Can you get around without having to speak English? I've watched a few of your videos.
