That moment when you run out of gas on your moped, and have to search for fuel... Your utter surprise when they try to sell you a gallon of gas in a plastic fucking bag. You can't pay for that kind of culture.

Trực is a Sino-Vietnamese and is a "play on words," similar to what English speakers would call slang.. It comes from a word for bamboo (and originally meant "straightforward). But, the lady in the market was telling you not to wear it because it's a slang word that means "to take turns" or in English we would say "on duty." It would be the equivalent of wearing an arm band that said "On Guard." LOL

Before my uncle died we took a trip to Vietnam. He stepped on a land mine and it was only him surrounded by 3 Vietnamese. One of them tried to save his life, he still lost a leg and he never forgot that man. When we went he had already passed but we got to talk about his family. He would never talk about the war but he told the story of my uncle so many times. They all embraced us. It’s like these people don’t hold any grudges against us for what we did over there. It was a sobering moment and I cried for sure. Vietnam is a very very beautiful place. Anyone that gets a chance to travel, just do it. You only need like $1500, take a few days off and just go. You will regret everything later in life if you never travel

The people were generally less outwardly warm than in Thailand but as soon as a conversation starts they're incredibly friendly and welcoming. I normally avoid going back to places I've been before just so I can try to see more of the world but Vietnam is one of the rare countries I've seen so much of that I would travel back to any time.

There was a pilot from Scotland who caught Covid at the start of the pandemic. He ended up in Vietnam at the other side of the world and was the sickest man in their country. Their doctors and nurses fought non stop to keep him alive but that wasn't the most remarkable part. The most remarkable part was that at one point there was news that the man may need lung transplants 26 people came forward to offer their lungs so the pilot could survive. This would have been a death sentence for them. Thankfully they wouldn't have been allowed to give their lungs as live donors. But 26 total strangers were willing to die so that a guest in their country would be given the best care their country could offer. What amazing, remarkable, kind and beautiful people. Truly some of the best people the world has to offer.

When you can find good prices on flights, book and go. I’m confident you’ll have a good time. Lots of good and cheap food, cheap beer, great coffee. Despite the history between the two countries, Vietnam in general is a very pro-US country, in fact the most pro US country in the world, according to the most recent Pew poll. If you go to a local beer restaurant, and people in the next table know you’re American, they will probably invite you over to join them or buy you a beer.

Growing up i watched the Vietnam war and the protests on TV. In 1976 i met my first Vietnamese as students in college. They escaped Vietnam by boat and were referred to as boat people in the media. My college friends were warm, friendly, gracious, industrious and extremely grateful to be Americans. Later in the 90s I lived in a South Philly neighborhood which became a large resettlement for Vietnamese refugees. They opened a number of businesses ranging from food markets, restaurants, tailor shops and novelties. Wonderful neighbors, never any acrimony toward Americans and a lot of empathy in understanding that war is hell for all involved.

@@mithrandirthegrey7644 No, I've never eaten dog. Although not in Vietnam, while in the Siem Reap area of Cambodia, we went on a village tour and there was a "restaurant" that served dog that we visited. I put "restaurant" in quotes because it was little more than some picnic tables and a barbeque grill in front of someone's house that regularly served dog. There was young boy, probably 10 years old, preparing to make sausage by cleaning out the dog's intestines on an old tree stump with flies landing on everything. My wife hasn't eaten meat since. What I found even stranger was that the family running the "restaurant" had a pet dog which was running around, apparently happily. I even asked if the dogs they served were a different breed than the dogs they kept as pets, but nope. I would think that the dog would suffer from PTSD watching his cousins routinely get killed, chopped up, and barbecued daily, but I guess not. Still, that being said, I'm not necessarily against people eating dog. If you travel enough, you quickly learn that if something is edible, some people somewhere will regularly eat it. For them it is completely normal. For other people it is abhorrent. It is all based on the culture you grew up in. Even if I think some food is abhorrent, I wrestle with questions like: Who am I to judge? Why does my own culture find it acceptable to eat just some animals but not others? I think that is the great thing about traveling. If you do it with an open mind, it is quite eye-opening and educational. Travel can teach you not only about other cultures, but so much about your own culture as well.

Thank you…I’ve been binge watching for a week, some episodes more than once. These great journeys have been my escape. A look into the places which hold the past, in some cases, just as it slips away. BAB depicts the footprint of life on earth. The humor is precisely on point. This man is brave and kindhearted. I’ve come to adore him, he has done something wonderful again and again. 🔥

I have toured northern Vietnam by bike (with no idea what I am doing on a motorbike) and was blown away by the beauty of the place, the food and the kindness of the people helping me multiple times when breaking down and needing somewhere to stay. The highlight meeting a Chinese tribe and getting copious amounts of rice wine fed to me. Definitely a bucket list activity

@@zucced2087 Technically you do need a license and had I been nabbed by the police I would have probably copped a fine. But I dont even have a British driving license either, just a bit if prior experience with mopeds in Thailand. The roads in the far north of Vietnam and most rural places are bendy, undulating and quite slow moving. Therefore you raise a good point, hiring a motorbike for a week was the best stupid and reckless decision I ever made, luckily for me I got away with it. If you want to do things properly then you can take a motorbike test there if you don't already have a license.

I spent 10 days cycling most of the way from Hanoi to Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City about 11 years ago. I do remember the north basically had a temperate climate but, at some point, we crossed a smallish mountain range and the rest of the country heading south was totally tropical. So your weather should improve!

I am Retired Air Force and there were 8 Airman that lost their lives that served as Aierial Porters in their Carreer field that i myself retired from. I did not serve in Vietnam as i was too young. But i did enlist 3 weeks to the day after turning 17 yrs old back in Dec 18, 1976 and i was trained by Vietnam vets that had served there in Vietnam. Enlisting prior to Jan 1, 1977, all were considered of the Vietnam area and gained in Education from the Vietnam Education Veterans Bill.

It always has seemed like an amazingly beautiful country. One of my strongest early memories is being with my grandfather at our wall in D.C. and him touching names of friends he lost. I think for a lot of Americans that is the idea of Vietnam. It's been a nice experience having that idea changed.
