Hello, I'll be interviewing locals & foreigners in Vietnam... What questions or topics would you like to know more of from the people here? Also if you're in Saigon & open to be interviewed, DM me on IG @theskyetran

[@SapienSpace]

My questions to ask is: Are there many cultural differences between different parts of Vietnam, like "north" and "south", urban, or rural, and what are the differences? Can you give us the history of Vietnam, from your perspective, from the earliest to now?

Awesome video Skye thanks so much for sharing! Been living in Korea for 5 months as an English teacher but defiantly interested to explore Vietnam for long term travel and work opportunities!

[@warrenwade8531]

Great interviews with relevant questioning. Guest was allowed to answer in their own way without interruption. Very well done. Note: The South African lady is a natural Beauty, no make up, but absolutely stunning. Working on her MBA too…what a catch!

Thank you for your time and posting. I'll be visiting VN in October to see if I want to retire there next year. But I will pass on HCMC, just to big. Thank you again.

Good one Anh, keep going. You look better than 4 years ago with the pink hair

[@nguyenhoanganh4586]

Such an interesting video idea!

[@skyetran]

Thank you!

Every time I see a South African on a video from some other country, I think, "thank god you got out to a safer place."

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1080">18:00</a> Yes! The fatigue from being in a very foreign environment is such a real experience. The upside is you sleep really well at night from being so mentally tired. I wonder if it would be less exhausting if I exercised vigorously everyday and ate more eggs and fish for the brain.

[@skyetran]

haha he did make a valid point with the overload info fatigue!

[@johngtran]

Great ways to open up and introduce VN to the world and especially Viet people who born Oversea get to know VN better if they no longer have any connections back to VN. Thank you for doing this. How is VN similar to SEA/East Asia and different from it?

[@user-mv2hn6jf7i]

Some things laid back and some things don’t You look at all markets it’s very busy all day through Vietnam Workers are working so hard compared to the west They work in the heat and they are sitting on the ground Quite tough work from 6 am to 6 pm from Monday to Saturday without stopping never take a holiday in their whole lives

[@orlando32819]

As long as you bring money to VN, everything is OK. If you take the money back, you will know the bad side.

[@backpack_person985]

Great video! Can you make a video about your own story? What made you decide to move to SE Asia and how did you make that happened?

[@skyetran]

I could, anything else you'd want to know? :)

[@user-mv2hn6jf7i]

insurances companies have been making money very fast go around and around But Vietnam is different

[@user-mv2hn6jf7i]

If you look at in all markets and people work in the streets streets vendors busy busy every day

[@chaksha]

I’ve been there many times, I would stay there permanently if I could find a job with enough income or start my own business.

[@user-mv2hn6jf7i]

All markets are not laid back The workers they have to work all day long It’s very different in the west

[@scogginsscoggins]

Not true. HSBC is open at lunch time.

[@hackeranvip]

'"Laid back" mean "nghỉ trưa" in your video, not "sa thải"

The girl from South Africa was being real about South Africa. SA used to be a great county. Black people ran the country to ground. I hope South Africa will recover someday.

Một số điểm du lịch hoặc trong một số lĩnh vực có thể có nhiều người quan tâm đến người nước ngoài, nhưng người dân địa phương thông thường không quan tâm đến người nước ngoài. Họ không thể quan tâm đến người nước ngoài vì họ phải lo cho cuộc sống của họ. Và càng sống lâu ở Việt Nam, bạn càng nhận ra rằng suy nghĩ và văn hóa của người Việt Nam chủ yếu xoay quanh chủ nghĩa cá nhân.

[@trrhalamadrid454]

[@mrgingerman6020]

I didn't like Vietnam at all, i found the people to be not friendly, i would smile at them and they would look back with a stoney face, they are not a friendly people imo i find them to be quite rude and loud, and in some cases you can see that they don't like foreigners.

[@fatmanslim4592]

im assuming the interviewers name is skye tran...tran is a vietnamese last name, is she vietnamese? she looks like a half mix of latino and asian

[@vantrinhnguyen987]

Người Việt Nam (tất cả) cười hoặc nói chuyện với bạn vì họ vui vẻ, thích như thế CÒn người Thái Lan cười với bạn là để bán hàng hay dịch vụ kiếm tiền.

[@m.l.366]

Not all the Thai like that. Vietnamese gonna be the same as Thai in the future.
