Vietnam Hotel Hunt: Pork O'Clock Sidequest 🇻🇳

■ VIETNAM, HANOI: Finding a hotel to stay anywhere in the world is a hit or miss operation. The area, noise level, cleanliness, state of the property vs. the photos you saw online and so on can leave you regretting your choice of accommodation which you may now be locked into for a week as you pre-paid before your travels.
In Vietnam you can add to the hotel equation that walking in to the reception without a booking from Booking.com, Agoda.com or Hotels.com will leave you with a vastly better price for the hotel room than if you had booked from the comfort of your living room before flying to Vietnam.
At least 20 0 30% discount can be had by simply walking in and asking for a room in the reception.
That's not the case in for example USA where the online price for hotels are always better than walking in to the hotel with a reservation.
So when in Vietnam, if time and your patience permits, going on a good old fashioned hotel hunt by foot is always the better and more entertaining option.
Not only do you get a better price, plus to see the state of the hotel and neighbourhood before you decide to put your money down but you also get a free adventure!
So let's kick off this Vietnam holiday by searching for a good hotel in Hanoi the capital of Vietnam.

Vietnamese people are so cool! They had to endure pure hell for nearly the entire 20th century and it seems like they're slowly making their way into having a better nation. But no matter what, they always have a smile on their face. BTW, it's so nice to be able to see a travel video where the narrator is not being harassed by scammers!

Never clicked on a video so fast in my life. The original Vietnam series is one of my favourites. Great to see you back Harald! Skol!

[@jaiyuen5440]

I am literally 6 weeks away from my first solo trip to Vietnam, the sole reason for me going are Harald's videos those years ago, what a treat this video is!

[@lordticklish]

Have fun.Hanoi is great.

[@kreabea78]

I started watching your video's before i went to Vietnam in i think 2019. Here we are, 5 years later. I met my wife there (also dutch, she was traveling too) and we now have a 4mo baby. Still watching every video you make. We have gone full circle. Thanks for the past 5 years of entertainment.

[@chain2mnm1]

Wow! Can't believe It's been 5 years since Haraldo's last visit here!! Seems like yesterday when he crossed the road from his hotel with the receptionist and had a first time experience of the amazing Pork! Seems like the Pork lady did not disappoint after all these years! Harald approves! ☝😀

[@waynem7186]

Hands down the best country I ever visited. Unreal hospitality and authenticity. The main cities, due to influx of tourism, is starting to get 'pricey' but still cheaper than most Asian nations. Countless times my wife and I didnt pay for drinks or food simply because we were 'guests' by random people or street vendors. Absolutely will be back more and more god willing in future. Thank you to the people of Vietnam!

[@lilwayne5757]

haraldo respawning in a random country with an hour vlog is a delight

[@drewa3597]

so happy to see you're back in Vietnam. My wife has an art gallery in Hanoi. if you want to see the best lacquer painting in the world. you can investigate and we would be happy to give you a custom oil painting of whatever you want as a gift..

I'm interested. Hit me up on Instagram: TheNorthmanReturns or give me details here in this comment about how I can find the shop

[@jondoe9596]

Man, that bike route series from Northern Vietnam was my favorite. I still remember you taking a random swim in the middle of the forest in one of the videos, and crashing a random getty in a theme park. Good times.

[@MrHotMonkey]

Well, Well, Well. Looks who's back. Nice to see you back to your intriguing travels my friend for us to enjoy. Be safe brother.

[@shimmer8289]

What i find unusual coming from working in a safety organization for 15 years is how a train track can be a tourist spot with cafes stools all along the tracks people standing, walking and evrn msking fires on them. All of which is totally entertaining. Vietnam does Vietnam their way. That pork meal looked delicious 😋 omg Noodles at the very end !

So much awesome wholesomeness! That hotel clerk's jaw just drops to the keyboard when he sees the Northmans subscribers. I wouldn't be able to contain myself if Harald just walked into my place of work. I'd be pretty damn ecstatic. I got a pretty good nostalgic vibe from this video. Felt just like the old one. 😎👍

[@jacksondrake-lost]

The Vietnam video from 5 years ago with that street pork is why I subscribed. Just walking around with a camera is enough for me here.. the motorcycle trips were also pure fire! AND that pork still looks the same.. crispy and perfect! As soon as I saw that angle from the balcony on you filming the train I knew Noodles was getting ready to show up! Power of the FDXR3000! Heading to Germany in October I will shout out to you before hand! Getting a car as soon as I land. Glad you are in Vietnam! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
