[@EducationOfAshleigh]

Hi guys. I absolutely love your content and wanted to thank-you so much for all of the tips and tricks you have shared about Vietnam in the last few years. I travelled North to South last November with my partner for my VERY FIRST overseas trip. Your content was so valuable to me! Being an anxious person I cannot believe I navigated this beautiful country and it seems like a dream. Without your videos I think we would have missed so much of the good about VN and it's people. It's sad to me now that my plans to travel in 2021 are no longer on the table but im finding so much enjoyment rewatching your videos. Not sure what the future holds for travel channels like yours, but I will be watching and supporting until it's time to travel again.

Xin Chao and Cam on for this guide. Very interesting ✌🏻

[@min_h930]

Xin chao is hello.. You meant to say Cảm ơn

[@terrywbreedlove]

I was in Vietnam 5 weeks 2014 and headed back next year 2021 for the Chinese New Years. I love the food love the people love the gorgeous country side. The coffee is amazing

[@kingkong-rq2sz]

Correctly u must say .Asian New Year .it not Chinese new year

[@terrywbreedlove]

king kong Last time I was in Vietnam 2014 the locals called it Chinese New Years. They also said Saigon not Ho Chi Min City so I did as they did.

[@kingkong-rq2sz]

@@terrywbreedlove Saigon or hcmc it same because it the city in Vietnam but Lunar New year it have more Asian countries like Korea japan Singapore Vietnam....not only Chinese .hope u understand

[@terrywbreedlove]

king kong Yes and mostly they just called it New Years. Not Chinese or Asian just New Years.

Love the hair! Wow this place is packed with beauty. Grab, I’ll have to remember that. I like how you simplified the menu at help us understand the types of foods and the language. So helpful.

Great video! Beautiful lady! I would like to say thank you because of helping us to bring Vietnam closer to the world. Welcome to Vietnam! 🌞🌞🌞

[@PursuingMountains]

Super helpful language tips for the food. We didn’t know anything about the up and down tones for our recent trip. We are both vegetarian and found it a little challenging to order good food in remote areas at little local restaurants. Grab though was our go to! I can’t believe we used to travel before the time of grab and uber!!! It’s so much easier now haha

[@timandfin]

Pursuing Mountains oh yes I’m sure- I didn’t think about including vegetarian options in the video, that would definitely be a challenge. Any recommendations?

[@nguyenngan349]

[@TheJimmySerious]

My first travel was 2012. Then 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018. The roads and highways where not existing in 2012. But these are the nice changes in Vietnam. Every year is something new due to economic growth. I hope that Vietnam will take care of their nature environment in future. Plastic trash is still a big problem.

[@jaystraveling4719]

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

@@timandfin It's very good for viewers. Most vloggers run clips without any way for us to understand what is being talked about and where in the timeline it is.

Thanks u for this video

[@leduc8025]

Helpfull . Thanks you

[@fishlocker.]

Wow, way cool stuff. I saw one of your vids years ago and lost track of you guys. Yea, I'm American and yes, when we visit our house in Laos I use a Huawie Mobile WiFi E5330 so I can watch youtube after I enjoy a sunset over the Mekong from the northwest deck. It's the size a credit card and as thin as a matchbook. Great vids BTW. Loved the 2017 bike ride where you went solo in Vietnam. Last January we went from Vientiane to the four thousand Island area in Laos. They have new ziplines there. Just an idea. I don't do vlogs but click the "J" for a few I made public. Cheers, "Joe Dirt"

[@OverCookedRice]

You look great with your new hair

[@HeadWestOn90]

Thank you!

[@rickwhear4016]

When you get your e-visa for Vietnam,make sure the name on the visa EXACTLY matches the name on your passport

[@timandfin]

Good point! Same with booking your international flight ☺️

[@tango2usa1]

Your Vietnamese pronunciation is perfect.

Loved the leather jacket - how much did it cost and what ideas did you need to bring? Could you have got it sent home?

[@hihai_TV]

Yay love it, thanks!!

[@tommynikon2283]

GREAT help in a nice package; Fin.....LOVE the cut and color! Yowza! Question: Like Tim, I'm a longtime rider; what did he have to do to convince you to start riding yourself? HOW did you "come around" so to speak? My own journey started in my early 20's; had a g/f who's brother rode up the West Coast to Seattle to visit. He and I went out together one night on it- and I was SO impressed....I bought the exact same bike a month later. That was my first/Only experience up to that point. Never knew, never cared prior, but was smitten from Day One.

[@TheWanderingCouplePlus1]

By the way, just did a 14-day roadtrip around South Island of NZ and we used your vide of NZ as a guide :D

[@timandfin]

Thanks for letting us know- hope you guys had a great time ☺️☺️

[@nofixedaddres5838]

Great video , that hair cut suits you ...

[@timandfin]

Thank you!

[@EatTravelWithMe]

@TIM and FIN Thank you for sharing travel tips! Can you share what website do you use for booking domestic flights?

[@donnie3074]

I love you from Vietnam

[@timandfin]

Xin Chào 👋

[@THuuDo]

Loved your videos since the NZ ones! That’s a great point you made about the intonations in the Vietnamese language and making sure you don’t “ask” for something the way we would in English. Being Vietnamese, but growing up in the states, I just grew up with Vietnamese and English and didn’t think much of it. In Vietnamese, we would add some type of qualifier into our sentences to turn them into questions. Quick example...something like how the French would say...”you have rice, no?” If that makes any sense to you lol

[@timandfin]

That makes sense! thanks for sharing ☺️ haha how did on do speaking Vietnamese?

[@THuuDo]

TIM and FIN Mom and dad were really strict about speaking Vietnamese in the house. As soon as we crossed the threshold of the front door, it was to be all Vietnamese. All of my cousins grew up speaking English in the house. My aunts and uncles feared they wouldn’t learn English well enough otherwise. My parents figured, I was 3 when we moved here so I had every opportunity at school and in life in general to learn English. In hindsight, I’m glad it worked out the way it did! Anyways, I didn’t mean to ramble. I just wanted to let you guys know I enjoy your videos regardless of what country you’re in. 😊

[@bertrandfernandes3906]

Yes

[@merewynjanson3692]

Do you have suggestions for what to wear or pack specifically?

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

This is really helpful. We are going with our little kids. Is there anything we need to look out for?

[@timandfin]

Always An Adventure With Kids what a great trip with kids- they’ll love it! Nothing in particular other than making sure they are extra careful to understand not to drink the water out of the tap (or brush teeth) if they are used to doing that at home.

[@eddiehauraki4586]

This is a very good video. I've never traveled around Asia but my adult daughters have including Thailand where they worked at an Elephant Sanctuary which was a n amazing experience. I do recall among the Immunizations they had malaria,tetanus etc was also a series for rabies which are apparently very painful. Is that recommended for Vietnam and Cambodia myself personally i HATE needles ??

[@Flights-gq8po]

Hello guys. You, yes , YOU are doing an amazing job...but...it would help us a lot more if you SLOW DOWN. Maybe do one video about ONE location and give us all the pointers you are giving us in an accelerated mode. You can make multiple videos of one area because you are advising us about one "attraction" . It gives you a better opportunity to cover a very strategic advise and it gives us more time to choose one place at the time and decide which ones we can do in our vacation. I am planning my first Vietnam vacation in February.... Thank you lots.

[@chitran6763]

thank you

[@shivanirapolu5036]

Where can we purchase tickets for the trains?

[@SB-ne6rh]

Does it get flooded in hoi an in November to December? Is it safe during that time?

[@jackielight6908]

Hey Fin wheres is it that has that real high see thro glass bridge you see people terrified (tourist) to walk across is it there ? p.s. love your hair girl you look good in bangs actually that's your style

[@timandfin]

Thanks for the hair compliment ☺️☺️ I hadn’t seen that before. I maybe found something in Son La that might be what you’re referring to but that’s not a very popular area to visit?

[@MinhNguyen-mf2xd]

why not take a few snap shot of the menu in Saigon or Ha Noi where it has both English and Vietnamese as a guide to use when going to the remote or rural of Vietnam. just a thought.

[@timandfin]

Great idea!

[@manangada7123]

Your videos are really helpful for me to plan a trip there. I am considering to travel in the last week of july as it is my birthday month, but would you recommend it as a good time to go considering rains or should I plan some other time?

[@pfwinbar]

Wish Fin would have her own channel. She has the looks and personality. Tim holds her back

[@Ngotdzung]

Talking about foreign languages, I recommended to download google translate, it is so helpful where ever you go, you can setup a language you want to translate then you and the other person speak into it, or type it, it will translate for you, very convenience. BTW, I like your videos.

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

We found this app super useful in Japan too!

[@timandfin]

Dunstin N oh right, good point I should have included that too!

[@freewithads]

i think we can use google-fi anywhere on earth. only 50 dollar a month.

[@Motorallyrider]

[@jordanongkok1540]

Is it safe to travel vietnam during coronavirus ?

[@maureenkeene7566]

From NZ. We are off to Vietnam next week for two weeks. Just wanted to know how you deal with money over there. Do you just use your credit card and take out from ATMs. I know Cash is King, so how much should we be taking out? We are looking to pay for travel from Hanoi airport to Old Town, food and attractions. Any info would be welcomed?

[@timandfin]

Maureen Keene hey Maureen! You will need to use cash for almost everything outside of the big cities. Fortunately you’ll find ATMs just about anywhere you’re traveling but if your bank charges extra fees, the balance will just be taking out plenty at a time to not have to continuously pay fees. You’ll find the first ATM right at the airport and I’d recommend using that instead of brining Kiwi cash to exchange at the counter (bad exchange rate)

[@maureenkeene7566]

TIM and FIN thanks for that info. A little nervous to arrive with no local currency. But have some US dollars with us too. Is the limit 4 million a transaction or does it just depend on where the money machine is located? Looking forward to riding on the back of a scooter with a poncho over my head!!! You are very brave to ride over there. My husband is hoping I will give it a try.

[@timandfin]

Maureen Keene typically depends on the machine itself.

[@maxmiguel500]

Was in VN in October . Used Xin chao a lot ....until that is , our very good day tour guide joked about it being mainly a greeting tourists used ! What I thought ! Then on checking with other VN people it seemed to be true . ? But what alternative I didn't establish . A grey area still. : --( Good vid though ... thanks .

[@timandfin]

Hah! That’s interesting to hear! I’m speculating- but that might be because the saying is incomplete. I believe the Vietnamese would also include a third word in the phase to indicate the subject and show respect for a certain age and or gender: Ex: Xin Chao _____ That was a little complex to go in to in the video and I don’t even completely understand it 🤷‍♀️😂

Telling people to travel on the back of motorcycle s is extremely irresponsible, the death rate of vietnam roads is horrific, about 500 per week get killed, car taxis are safe, clean and extremely cheap in Vietnam. DON'T risk motorcycle especially in the cities
