Hey mate - am currently riding a motorbike from Saigon to Hanoi, have done around 1800km so far. You are allowed to turn right even if the traffic light is red haha, and some people do run red lights when going straight but it’s not that common.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. I'd say Saigon's Chinatown is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) Chinatown in the world by population. Not by geographical border. There's about 500,000 ethnic Chinese living in Saigon. And they don't concentrate in one distinct small area like in Manhattan or San Francisco. They spread out across District 5, District 6, District 10, District 11. Because they don't concentrate in 1 distinct area, it's hard to see how "big" it is. So yeah, not biggest in "town" wise, but biggest population wise. Now, Bangkok has about 1 mil Chinese people, but they're not all ethnic Chinese. That population includes Thai, who are Chinese descendants. So we can't really tell the real ethnic Chinese population their. About Hong Kong, I'm not sure why it counts as a China town. Aren't they all Chinese there? And yeah, legally, they're not a part of China until 2045, but that's only on paper. In reality, We've all seen what happened there.

I just returned from Vietnam, watching your vlog, I wanna try doing a solo. District 5 is still the largest Chinatown in the world, the reason it has lost its Chinese character was in the 1980's, the government allowed/forced the Chinese to move out of Vietnam as boat people, this way, they could clear up the Chinese influence a lot, those unfortunately could not get out have to simulated, including speaking more Vietnamese than Chinese. Those Chinese store/restaurant names for business in district 5 were removed, only Vietnamese allowed. That was my observations back in 2006, first time I returned. This time, things changed for better, I saw a few Chinese store/restaurant names showed up in District 5, more Chinese speaking Chinese on the street. So, you are still right about the largest Chinatown in the world.🤣😅 Have more fun in Vietnam 👍

One thing to add is the Vietnamese gov didn't forced Chinese immigrants to flee Vietnam out of nowhere. In 1978, the Rouge Khmer, after committing a genocide on their own Cambodian people, invaded the southern part of Vietnam. Vietnam fought back and went on to invade Cambodia to completely get rid of the Rouge Khmer regime. In 1979, China, who was an ally with the Rough Khmer, invaded the northern part of Vietnam to release pressure for the Rouge Khmer in the south. Vietnam then pivoted and mobilized army go to to the north to fight the Chinese. After those conflicts, Vietnamese gov asked Chinese immigrants to either renounce their Chinese citizenship, or leave the country. Most Chinese in Chinatown at the time still considered themselves Chinese and still had Chinese citizenship. So a large number of them left Vietnam for the US (maybe other European countries as well). The ones who stayed had to accept to be more "Vietnamese" than Chinese.

And of course the price will be quite high and so will the coffee, they have a recipe made by machine, unlike sidewalk coffee, each alley has many different flavors. of course refer to one of the most famous youtubers if you are a foodie it is mcfarlin !

Should have the coffee luak drip as long as you don’t mind it’s made of beans excreted from weasels. 😂 coffee black is aromatic. Remember to try the bun Bo hue with the snails and congealed pig blood. I remembered trying porcupine, wild boar in a hot pot. And if you’re adventurous, there’s country dormouse that tastes like fried chicken, the locals like to tease tongue in cheek “rat” to scare you…enjoy your adventures. Cheers.

Just wondering, i found most vloggers say they will put info/location of shop/stall/restaurant down below (where?) I always find info for their equipment, insurance…etc everything but the info mentioned in the video. Did I miss something here? Or it’s just a saying, they actually don’t do it? Any ideas? 😊

I tried and don’t really like the places that rate the Best online. I mean it’s good but nothing special about that except too meaty for me. There’s times I feel the regular bánh mì they sell at a stand on the street side tasted better. There are many different types of meats for bánh mì too! Also it will be interesting if you have a friend take you inside many small long alleys in the city you will discover where all the people you see from the street comes from!

Hello Joel, Can you show your location on Google map or any type of map. I cannot recognize the new modern Ho Chi Minh City from the old dilapidated Saigon during the American War in Vietnam, in this jungle of residential, public, and commercial dwellings.

Can you guys northerners just shut up about it? Admit that the culture there is more traditional, not even the language spoken there is linguistically similar to the Middle and Old Vietnamese even though many people believe that it is (I'm not saying the Southern dialect is more similar either). If you want a full experience of the original Vietnamese culture, go to the North Central region. They retain many old cultural features there since they make less contact with the outsiders including the dialect. Modern Hanoi has changed alot and the people still claim themselves to be the root of the country. Sorry but it would be my pleasure if reunification didn't happen.
