Nice to see you back! As a kid i actually hated being vietnamnese and Living in Denmark and got bullied a bit aswell for being different and blamed some of it om being vietnamnese. I started watching your videos and i started being more proud of it and seeing all the awesome culture there it! Still waiting now as 29 year Old to be able to effort going to Vietnam myself someday and experience the culture of my people , and alot of it is thanks to you

I understand. I am Vietnamese too but born in Canada. I just made good friends who are also Vietnamese born in Canada to talk and share life experiences to fill the day. Now I don't worry about being treated differently because I can talk to my Vietnamese friends.

Dear Van, I am from Germany. I have been following you for some time. I had already planned a trip to Vietnam in 2019, which could only take place in autumn 2022 because of Covid-19. I used the long waiting time to prepare for my trip with the help of your videos. You have sharpened my understanding of your great country, the culture, the people, the landscapes, the food. You enabled me to see my journey, which took me from Vietnam to Cambodia to New Zealand and Australia over several months, in a completely different light. Originally, Vietnam was just a sidekick to see beautiful landscapes. Your videos have opened my eyes and my mind. I probably would have missed a lot if your videos hadn't given me so much of Vietnam and the people there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. Despite all the professionalism and commitment with which you produce your videos, the charm and authenticity is never lost. And everyone can feel your love for this great country, its culture and its people. Thank you, and I hope that you will soon be well again and that there will be a continuation of your videos. Take your time for your recovery. With kind regards PS: You saved my life with one of your videos - I crossed the street in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City several times without being injured ;-)

[@WhatThePho]

[@miketackaberry525]

Thank you so much for the insights. I am a California man who loves a Vietnamese woman. We are both in our late fifties. She is an engineer for the California water district. Kimthoa was put in an underground prison when she was twelve years old in Vietnam and it hurt her. Now she is strong and thriving in California. I respect her so much for many reasons. How can I make her smile. How can I show her that I truly love and respect her for her strength and her kindness? She is brilliant.

Thank you 🙏 I'm glad you and your family found it helpful

[@joaopedroferreira5913]

Glad to have you back, Pho. There are times when we need to put ourselves first, in order to keep on going with a smile on our face. One of the reasons that glued me to this channel was the authenticity, the smile, and the passion you put into every single video. Also those traits, characteristic of the Southeast Asian people, were the main reason that made me fall in love with the region and its culture. Keep that in mind, and remember that communication isn't only about how much information you can pick together (it has more to do with the way the message is taken across). Do not pressure yourself, and thank you for all your endeavour.

[@WhatThePho]

I really appreciate your kind encouragement! Thank you so much!

[@xPuniify]

Just yesterday I manually clicked on ur channel, I started watching you a few months ago and in the following weeks I'm going to study vietnamese/japanese philology, so I wanted to check if there was any new content uploaded about vietnam, now I see this update, glad to have u back.

Always good to take time to step away, re-evaluate, get grounded again…a very mature decision. Your videos helped prepare me for my trip to Vietnam in February, where I fell in love with the people. Best wishes to you ❤

We love traveling and can’t wait to experience the beautiful sights you talk about on your channel. We will be in Vietnam at the end of September and are bringing two other couples to join us. Looking at your channel inspired us to visit Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang and Hanoi, ending with a cruise at Ha Long Bay. Thank you for being an inspiration. Keep up the great work.

I might watch some of your videos, but my life is hectic right now, as I am trying to do video (on different account), get rid of mice, and clean home better. However, I want to thank you for your teaching how to pronounce Vietnamese last names. I won't remember it, but at least I'll be able to go back to it from time to time and refresh my mind.

Hi Van, I haven't followed you for long, I have a plan to go and work in Vietnam, and your videos help me get an idea on certain points. I believe that all entrepreneurs who share their passion go through the burn out box, which is difficult to preserve, but I'm really happy to know that you're doing well and continuing to move forward!

[@absurdnerd7624]

Welcome back Mrs Van. (Sorry I am not good at using forms). Content that I would like to see is an Ao Dai contest if there is such a thing. Maybe you can get measured for one at tailor and show us some of the process of it being made. The traditional ao dai is Vietnam's greatest fashion invention. Also a visit to a Vietnamese bonsai nursery. Oh, and perhaps show us a typical Vietnamese wedding... preferably yours.

[@War7123]

I was really sad to realize I haven't seen any of your videos in a in quite a while. I thought I might've accidentally unsubscribed but was somewhat relieved when I found that I hadn't. After a rabbit hole of googling I happened upon a post you made mentioning burnout and and totally understood. I'm so glad you're back and hope you've found a better work life balance for yourself. I absolutely love your content but I would never want you to sacrifice yourself for even one more video. Please take all the time you need

I started watching your videos because I was preparing a trip to Vietnam and I needed to look for references. As I was looking for updates I noticed that you were no longer posting new videos and that made me sad because I had come to appreciate them and they had been very useful to me. Now that I have my trip prepared, you are back on the channel and that makes me very happy: so I can continue to learn about this wonderful country, its customs and its people. Thank you very much for coming back.
