This is how English should be used in Vietnam. I see many famous KZbinrs opening English channels just to teach English to Vietnamese people. They show off their English skills to native speakers but not to international friends. I love this channel, very good, very suitable for the purpose of learning English.

When renting a scooter or motorcycle always confirm which break controls the back or the front because it depends on what country it's manufactured in if they drive on the left side or the right side and you don't want to lock up your front wheel and go head over heels.

I remember it was like this in the 1980s. Back then, we didn't have to understand the materials, but we had to memorize paragraphs word by word and recite verbatim back the next day in class. If anyone else can share some info, please do. Thanks!

Who’s tired of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia invading one another. It’s because Vietnam is not the only country invading Cambodia but Thailand stealing Cambodia land silently too. If you are tired of this like me the same thing over and over again. What should we do about it? We can have a name for the four countries but each country speaks different languages that is the problem we all can’t solve. If me I will change the four countries name to SEA (South East Asia) meaning anyone can come and go, vacation or move to live anywhere they please. Then comes the hard part is the decision of the language that four countries should speak. I think the country with the best economy and influence will make all of the four countries to speak the language. For example if Vietnam has big influence and economy out of the four countries then Thailand, Laos and Cambodia will automatically speak Vietnamese but if it is Thailand then the four countries will speak Thai automatically. So basically SEA if everyone agrees to call it will automatically speak one language by who has the economy and influence the most out of the four nations. If we all agree then start thinking and start working.

Hi Van, I discovered your channel about 6 month ago as we started planning our trip to Vietnam that was in our bucket list for few years and had to postpone due to Covid lockdown. We are just returning from 2 weeks there, where we covered Saigon, Dalat, Ba Na Hills, Hoi An and Hanoi. Your videos and advice were right on helping us to navigate the geography and culture of that beautiful country. Have to say that in every city that we visited was cleaner and we felt safer than in any other country we visited or live, including USA (we had lived in several countries and traveled extensively the 5 continents). We are coffee lovers and Vietnamese coffee is the best I had ever, including egg coffee and salty coffee (that is out of this world). We also tried every street food, including the beer corner in Hanoi. Never had a stomach issue, despite I am kind of sensitive to fatty food, so I enjoyed all the fresh vegetables and fruit that is a big part of local food. We like to travel outside of the tours thing, so we rented a scooter in Dalat and Hanoi. Also used Grab in every city and for day trips out of the cities. We walked a lot, too. There is a lot to see, so a lot of reasons to be back there in the future. Having visited several other south east Asia countries before, Vietnamese people are as friendly as the rest of Asia, but we found them more peaceful and they don't look at tourists so anxious like in other places. In most places, restaurants, airplanes we were almost the only westerns and we felt treated like another local (what we loved). The only thing that can be improve for a visitor better experience is the use of English as second language in touristic places. For example, we visited Perfume Pagoda out of Hanoi, and the signs with all the instructions about the ticketing system for the park, the boats and cable cars was only in Vietnamese, in a place that usually is packed with tourists. We had a hard time trying to understand was we were paying and what was not included. Google translator helps a lot but takes time to communicate with the locals. I watched a lot of YT videos about Vietnam and I have to say that yours were the best by far on actually how is Vietnam and what a foreign visitor could expect. Thanks for all the good information and advice you are providing here. Your Vietnamese culture, high drive/energy and US experience is the key factor that allows you to be successful in what you are doing, so keep going girl.

even if you do not have a license you can easily rent a motorbike, but not in ha giang. most places there are not renting without a license because the police are currently monitoring the streets. i was unable to rent over the summer and had to share a bike with a friend. i did drive a lot once we left the rental though, but was nearly caught by police several times along the trip and was actually stopped once. if you get a ticket i think it will cost you about $40, but you can typically bribe them for about half that, i got away with 500K VND.
