Taking The Road Less Travelled…Vietnam by Motorbike | Ep.2

[@michaeldog3459]

This is hands down the best Vietnam travel vid I have seen on KZbin, well done for going somewhere different than the usual routine. Also it's nice to see English people being respectful to the locals. You are attracting so much attention because you are off the beaten track.

[@TheJammyGits]

Wow, thank you so much for watching & leaving such a lovely comment. So glad you enjoyed the video🤘

[@voicevosi]

Wow! your motorbike saga is #5stars. Just wow! I'm in the States, but i would agree with the locals you just look celebrities, (related to Cate Blanchett & Sean Connery?). Binge watched and watching again! Love it. :)

[@hugddoo]

Great video. Just some translations for you guys around 19:43, the owner said: "There're guests in the the room to the left. It might be loud. Then offered the next room which he said is more ok"

[@TheJammyGits]

Thanks for translating for us, that makes so much sense to us now. Thank you!

This episode is lovely. I’m happy that you guys have been safe throught the journey and feel welcoming in Vietnam. Here are some tips that you may find useful: - Vietnamese are very hospitable, and they will even like you more if you try to speak some Vietnamese with them. Hence it’d be nice if you learn some simple sentences like: Xin chào (hello), tạm biệt (good bye), cảm ơn (thank you), bao nhiêu tiền (how much?), ngon quá (delicious) - Google translate voice comes in handy when speaking with locals, it’s quite accurate. - When traveling on the road, please try to stay away from trucks, buses and containers for more safe drives. - in rural Vietnam, you will usually find stores owned by a household, kind of convenient ones that sell all types of stuffs. If you need something, don’t be afraid to ask the owner. - Some delicious Vietnamese foods I highly recommend you guys to try: for main courses: bánh xèo, bún chả, phở bò/gà, bún bò huế, nem rán, rau muống xào tỏi, cơm sườn. for breakfast: bánh mì, xôi, bánh cuốn, milky coffee. These can be found in almost every province in Vietnam so you can just ask locals for finding selling places. As a Vietnamese, I’m so proud that you guys choose to spend your time experiencing my mother country. Vietnam has a great history worth getting to know, people aren’t wealthy but very nice and supportive. I hope you have a fun time here. Can’t wait for a new episode!

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for your tips on Vietnam!

This is Nice country. Nice People.

[@davidnguyen4885]

Hello guys, Vietnamese are usually really friendly and nice. Remember they’re not laughing at you, they’re laughing with you. Also keep it Raw Vlog that way you can enjoy the moment while we get to experience it with you. Cheers 👍🍻🍻

[@TheJammyGits]

The Vietnamese are lovely people. Thank you for watching😁

[@ngocthachle494]

hahaa Im dead at the moment the local people were so excited when they met foreigners. It made me remember my childhood. You know, in the countryside, it's not often to see foreigners, so that makes it special. The first time that I have met a foreigner is like something to be proud of and I always appreciate that memory.

[@TheJammyGits]

Aw haha that’s so sweet, it’s always a special moment feeling like royalty for a second and being welcomed by such friendly people!

[@jiatongli6877]

I know you guys like introvert as me. That's why I feel really fun and comfort looking you guys talk. ❤

I rode Vietnam for four months. the way you two are doing it is the way to go! Getting there is half the fun! I didn't even worry about not getting to all the instagram spots because all of Vietnam is amazing in so many ways with a surprise around every corner.

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

Vietnamese people are very friendly and welcoming . They love to take photos with the tourists or wave and say Hello to them on the roads . The visitors who are coming to Vietnam for the first time might find it weird and scary . But don't worry our people are very open-minded and not at all prejudicious . They have no bad intentions towards the foreigners and always consider them like VIP guests and try to make them feel welcome and more comfortable . Ride safely and hope you will enjoy your trip in our country .

[@TheJammyGits]

The Vietnamese people are so hospitable and friendly, it’s such a beautiful country with beautiful people!

[@miked6801]

Don't worry guys, it's not a staring-down look, just out of curiosity, no judging at all since most of them don't see foreigners that often in their lifetime. The locals are among the nicest people, they over-welcomed everybody visiting their town. I hope you guys will get used to it soon and have a great trip in Vietnam. Great video as always

[@minhvulifestyle]

Oh my god, you guys are so brave to travel from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike. I mean, sitting on motorbike for like one or two hours already make my butt feel dizzy. But hopefully you guys can come to Hanoi safely. Also, be careful sometimes ha, not everyone is friendly. Vietnamese people really impressed by foreign people, they definitely curious about you guys cause we rarely see the foreign people from West side. We are stunned by the height, the body shape, the blonde hair, etc... Love your videos, wish you guys can have a great trip in Vietnam.

[@davidshaw5426]

A great video

[@HungTranCalgary]

I have no doubt that after trip you will get lots of happy experience and turning points in your mind due to those Vietnamese warmly smiles and the fact that remote villagers can communicate a little bit in English. Don't know whether during the trip you could find out the differences between Southern, Central and Northern Vietnamese in their behaviours. Waiting for Ep 3.

[@TheJammyGits]

The trip was very eye opening and a very beautiful experience. We can’t wait to share more this Sunday 🇻🇳

I love how open and vulnerable you guys are. I can absolutely relate to bring an introvert and automatically assuming people have the worse intentions. That's why I'm terrified of ever doing a solo trip, but I am being comforted by you two and your adventure. Being from India, people do stare a bit here haha. Maybe it's time I started waving at them 😁

[@TheJammyGits]

Thank you! I'm glad our videos help, Vietnam was a trip that put us out of our comfort zone and was the best trip we've ever done, so I hope that inspires you to just do it! I'm sure you won't regret it!

[@jared6763]

Watching your video's makes me really miss every second of my SEA scooter travels. I've been to a lot of the places you two have gone, and seeing it all again with the locals and the roads...I miss everything about my time there. 4.5 months across three countries.

[@jessecao8596]

I had never seen that lake/reservoir in any other vietnam youtube vids before. Thank you for going out of your way, literally, to show us that. (I was like, "where the heck are you going?" lol...) Hospitality is an essential part of Vietnamese culture and people are generally warm, kind, and friendly (except for the corrupt cops) so don't be surprised. They stare because they're curious and don't see too many tourists in that part of the country, and also because in their eyes, Caucasians are beautiful (and you guys are a good-looking couple :)) so they tend to look with admiration. I'm an introvert too and I don't like to draw attention to myself, so kudos to you for filming out in public. Western culture is one of individualism and mind-your-own-business but not in vn. In fact, there's not much personal space there as they'd hug and touch you without knowing you but that's their way of showing friendliness and affection. Chien=fried, ga=chicken, com=cooked rice. Anything "chien" would be deep fried or stir fried. :) Good job and carry on!

[@1948biker]

This is a great set of videos, and that's coming from someone who has been doing motorcycle trips all over the world for 25 years. I would like to know what you were using to find some of the less-common roads. For example, you talk about not taking the main highway from Cam Tien National Park to Bao Loc, but I can't find the road on any maps I have. What were you using for navigation?

[@sonnguyen-ru6rf]
