We went last year, definitely eye opening to listen and see the Vietnam side. We also left with the feeling that we were glad we went. Crossing the road, we were told, hold your arm up and walk at a steady pace and the scooters and cars will go around you as they anticipate you. It’s a great city both modern and old definitely worth going. Ps great video
That was clearly a tough visit and I guess you had to be there. I know these two lovely people very well folks and could feel the upset and emotion inside Lisa, clearly affected you. Very well put together for anyone planning to go there.
That is so lovely of you to say. You have made our night! We watch loads of travel videos as well. We are still relatively new to this RUclips game but are trying to get better every time. Thank you for watching and commenting.
One of your best ! Really touching and moving. You are also so right to highlight that there is another tragic perspective to that war, not just from USA viewpoint.
Hi Lisa and Giles wow that war museum sounds horrendously upsetting! Lisa you gave me a lump in my throat at how upset you got! What an experience! Great blog though have a great week 👍❤
Hi guys, We are new to your channel. We really hope to visit Ho Chi Minh City one day. Blimey! Those roads are treacherous! The zen harden looked glorious. We watched your fantastic vlog until the end and were moved to tears when Lisa cried following your heart breaking visit to the war museum 😢 It's now firmly on our bucket list 💔 Great job! Kind regards Lisa and Pete 🛳
Thanks guys your kind comments are much appreciated. We are already subscribers to your channel. SE Asia was a real eye opener and we will have some very special memories from this trip. Happy travels 😀 👍
Lots of young men here in Australia were called up to go and fight in the Vietnam war, including our friend. He didn't escape some of effects of agent orange but he was luckier than most of the local people. Thank you for showing your viewers the how awful it was and how futile. I've just subscribed.
Powerful stuff guys - A really well constructed account with heart and emotion. We did the same excursion and were going to do the War Remnants museum too but after a horrific incident on our journey in we decided to try and keep the rest of the day as upbeat as possible. This is one of your best videos for sure..
We did the 'Saigon On Your Own excursion'. We were so busy we had no time to eat - although skipping one lunch was probably no bad thing! Thanks for watching 👍
@@TravellingLightLisa Nice, we did Ho Chi Minh City Highlights, I think if my niece went with us, she would have wanted to get in the water during the water puppet show
Worth a mention that America was originally trying to help the south Vietnamese from invasion by China and the north Vietnamese which were backed by Russia, America failed spectactularly but at least they tried. great vid many thanks.
Totally understand your upsetment seeing that museum,As terrible it was to read and see what went on,we cannot ignore the history of that cruel war.I was a teenager in the late 60's and I demonstrated in my home city at the time,against the Vietnam War,I remember we shouted LBJ how many kids have you killed today!
Hi. I’m very much enjoying your videos and more importantly your humility. X
Thanks for the lovely feedback,and thanks for watching 😀👍
Loved the place
@stevenharris2788 It is somewhere that we will never forget. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you. Yes it was an emotional day but so glad I experienced it.
I watch so many travel videos - yours are by far my favorite. You are both so real and honest. A real joy to watch.

Thanks for that. It means a lot. Hopefully it came across well. The War Remnants Museum is unmissable if you go to Saigon.
Talk about the good, the bad and the ugly.
I cried along with you both.
Time for a glass of red - oh dear its only 4pm!
It's five o'clock somewhere! Thanks for watching. BTW which one of us is the ugly? 😂
@@TravellingLightLisa Think life is sometimes the ugly one
Amazing trip! Saigon is a great city! 👍👍😍😍
It certainly is. Thanks for watching. It is appreciated 👏

Another great video. Very thought provoking too.
Thank you. That means a lot to us. It certainly was thought provoking.
Loved the video- very thought provoking, I’d definitely like to learn more about the Vietnamese perspective of the war
Thanks for watching. If you ever get chance to visit I would definitely recommend it.
That traffic looked crazy! Love the videos! New friends here! -Joe&Sharon from RVentures 47
Thank you so much for watching Joe & Sharon. Yes it certainly was busy. Lovely to have you join along 😀

Doing this cruise next march. Thank you for all your info
I'm jealous already. Have a fabulous cruise. If you have any questions, then please feel free to ask and we will do our best to help
@@TravellingLightLisa thank you, I'm sure I will think of a few things between now and then
Just been informed our cruise has been cancelled due to conflict 😢
@@sheiladow6962 I've heard that they have all been cancelled. I am so sorry to hear this. So many people must be bitterly disappointed!

That sounds bad! 😲 Probably a good plan to accentuate the positive after a bad incident. Thanks for your kind comments. ❤️
We went to Ho Chi Minh City back in 2020 with Marella cruises, we were taken to a nice place for lunch
We did the 'Saigon On Your Own excursion'. We were so busy we had no time to eat - although skipping one lunch was probably no bad thing! Thanks for watching 👍

Very true. There still seems to be a difference between North and South Vietnam to this day. Thanks for watching 👍

Good for you standing up for what you believed in 👍 Thanks for watching.
I felt your horror of it all Lisa.
Yes upsetting but so glad I went. Thanks for watching 🙏
War is dark evil in called for and there 2 side and very hard to report the truth. Feel sad for you both 😢
Very true. Thanks for watching 👍
