48 HOURS IN HANOI, VIETNAM (Our Favorite City in the World!) 🇻🇳

- In this Vietnam vlog, we spend 48 hours in Hanoi exploring the beautiful capital of Vietnam.
We started the day with lunch at a local restaurant recommended by our friends @wherearewe-yt before drinking tea with the locals and exploring the Truc Bach neighborhood. Despite Ashley feeling a bit sick midway through the day, we found ourselves sitting in a quiet alleyway eating sandworm pancakes for the first time.
The next day started at Cafe Giang, home to the original egg coffee. We grabbed some delicious Vietnamese food and headed to Maison Central, otherwise known as Hỏa Lò Prison, a place we won't soon forget. We ended the day by eating some of the best phở we've ever had and announced our next travel destination.

@@vietthanh6425 Thanks for letting us know! The donuts were delicious! 🙂
@@mikeandashley đúng vậy, nó rẻ và rất ngon. Nhất là loại bọc đường ở ngoài như bạn thích.
ruclips.net/video/X7kj_8jV5dU/видео.htmlsi=KynQD1N17pqc5fVo😅🤣
Foreign tourists who come to Hanoi for a few days will find everything new and attractive. But after a long life, termites clearly see that Hanoi is not a city worth visiting, because everything is cutthroat, and the food contains toxic chemicals.
I miss Vietnam these videos make me want to go back 😀
Vietnam is an amazing place! We’re making plans to return very soon. 🥰
Tks for your love with my country and always welcome back!
🥰🥰
Me too! I haven’t been back for almost 45 years since I left! Time to go now! I think I like Hà Nội better than Đại Gon. Hà Nội is more mellow, quieter. The traffic is much nicer!I miss my homeland and am looking forward to returning!❤❤❤❤
@@bab1374tôi dám cá với bạn rằng bạn sẽ không bao giờ về VN, bởi vì bạn muốn về thì đã về từ lâu rồi, không để 45 năm đâu
Ha Noi is like the beautiful first love! So innocent, yet robust with romance!
Beautifully said! 🥰
As a Vietnamese I'm very happy and grateful for your realistic video about our capital Hanoi! You has had a big & deep step into our culture! Thanks for you amazing video and welcome to our country again ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🥰 We’re happy you enjoyed our video. Hanoi is an amazing city and we hope to return and explore more of the rich culture there. It’s such a vibe and we loved it!
If you can go to Hai phong city is a big city near Hanoi. Everything is cheaper than Hanoi. Hai phong have beach, Cat Ba islands, Lan Ha bay beside Halong Bay
That sounds lovely! We would really like to see Cat Ba!
I love her laugh, it like a bell, when travel, keep an open mind, no country is perfect but you'll have more fun willing to try new things
Aw, thank you! 🥰 We agree, having an open mind while traveling definitely leads to more fun experiences! Thanks for watching. 🤗
Wow, this video brought us back, for sure! Glad you enjoyed our food recommendations!
It made us super happy seeing you guys explore Hanoi. We spent an entire year there, so it will always hold a big piece of our heart. You really captured the vibe of this incredible city. The sights, the sounds, the smells. It's something we could never forget. It's like we were transported back.
Definitely one of the best videos you guys have made! Such a great mix of food, culture and city life.
Looking forward to seeing your other Vietnam adventures. Great job, guys! 🇻🇳
Aw, thanks guys! 🥰 Your recommendations were amazing, and we were so happy to be able to try some food that was unique and delicious.
Glad we could transport you back to a place that is so special to you. Thanks so much for watching. ☺️
I’m surprised you did not try Bun Cha too. It was our favorite dish in Hanoi. Walking the streets of Hanoi is what travel is all about. One of my favorite countries in Asia for sure. Anthony Bourdain was spot on.
Hanoi is absolutely one of our favorite cities we've ever explored. We did miss Bun Cha, we were trying to go for a few items that don't make it to every video from Hanoi, so we went with our friends recommendations. But, we will be trying it when we return in a couple of months! We will be sure to post about it. 🤗
@@mikeandashley chúng tôi buồn vì bạn không ăn bún chả. Và không ăn phở vào buổi sáng.
"Chả Rươi" or "Worm cake" as they said :)) and Egg coffee can cover the miss of Bun Cha. Do you know that "Chả Rươi" is quiet expenseive and rare because you can only havest "Rươi" worm in sep, oct and nov of lunar canlendar. so it's mean you can only eat this dish in a specific and limited time of the year. it's delicious, full of protein and good for your health also
i dont like bun cha. not everyone has to like or try bun cha. so dont be surprised if they didnt
@ryoanji08 i suggest you make a video wherein you eat all of the bun cha in Hanoi or even Vietnam. should be easy for you since you are the world's number 1 bun cha fan
When you come to Vietnam, you should try hu tieu mi southern, com tam, goi cuon and seafood. because the food here is very diverse if you are a foodie then congratulations you have come to the right place 😁 and the seafood is cheap and fresh too! Vietnam also has many beautiful places. If you want to go to all the places here, you have to spend about 1 month. I used to go here and was amazed at everything😅
Vietnam truly is a beautiful country. We’re not the biggest fans of seafood, though we will try things here and there if it’s interesting or unique! The food we’ve had here so far is some of our favorite food ever. So delicious. We can’t wait to try more.
I love the way you film and edit your video! ❤love your energy and the way you approach new things as you go as well. You guys are definitely the best people to travel with. Keep up the good work guys! Absolutely love it!
Aw, thank you soooo much! 🥰🥰 This just made our day! 🤗 We’re really happy you appreciate the editing in our videos. We have so much fun making them! Thanks for finding us and watching and sharing your kind words and feedback, this is the reason we make these videos. 🙏
Nice couple with great personalities. Love the way Ashley reacted to everything... so calm, nice and positive. You brought us good and helpful reviews, nicely done on all your videos.
Thank you so much! ☺️🤗
In Vietnam seems like 90% of people are all doing something no lazy buggers doing nothing. I enjoy watching you two
Haha, that is true. Everyone is up and doing something for sure. We’re happy you like watching us. ☺️
I have watched many channels about Vietnam travel, but I have to say that this is the best channel I've seen. Your two voices are really attractive. I hope you two continue to release more and more videos about many places around the world. Vietnam love u!!!!!
Thanks for coming to our country.
Wow, thank you so much! Your comment made our day and means so much to us. We can’t wait to return to Vietnam! 🥰
The beautiful country of Vietnam with enthusiastic and cheerful people always welcomes all foreigners to travel and visit scenic spots..I LOVE VIET NAM ❤
We also love Vietnam! 🥰
As someone who is Vietnamese, I loved how you guys really took in the culture
Thank you so much! To us, that’s the most important part of travel. Not just being somewhere, but trying to get to know it! Thank you so much for watching. It was an amazing trip.
Subscribed as soon as you started explaining things. It shows you have done thorough research and I appreciate that
Thanks so much! We do our best to know something about place or at least try to learn as much as we can while exploring. We're happy you enjoyed our video. Thanks so much for subscribing and supporting us! 🤗
I'm stoked I found your channel Mike and Ashley!! My partner and I are heading to Vietnam in 2 weeks and you're vlogs have been amazing. I've made soooo many notes on my phone of food to try and where to find it from your recommendations haha. Can't wait to see the Halong Bay Episode. Thank you all the way from Lord Howe Island, Australia. :)
That's so awesome! We're glad we can help and hope you enjoy your time in Vietnam. Reach out to us with any questions. Safe travels! 😊
Thank you for your sensitive and beautiful commentary on Vietnam. I haven't been back 'home' since pre-Covid, but my heart is telling me it's about time. Your last pho stop made me smile with warm nostalgia.
Hi Wayne, we’re so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching. We hope you make it home soon! ❤️
Don't wait to long. Life is short!!!
Yes you ate Chả Rươi! One of my favourites in Northern Vietnam! 🇻🇳
It’s delicious! 🤗😋
i love 🇻🇳 esp Hanoi and Hoi An from Philippines
Yea, Hanoi and Hoi An are certainly two amazing places! We’d love to visit the Philippines someday, everything there looks out of a dream! 🤗 Tha La for watching! ☺️
Chào 2 bạn đến với Việt Nam chúc 2 bạn du lịch vui vẻ nhớ quay lại nhiều lần nữa nha...
Thanks so much! We’ll definitely be back. 🥰
Been to Hanoi many times. But in a couple of weeks I going to stay for 3 months. This video made me SO look forward to it!!
Nice! We can’t wait to return. Our friends from back home will be here in less than a month and we are spending 3 weeks with them in northern Vietnam, we are so ready! We hope to stay a bit longer after that too. We’ll see. The three month visa is a game changer!
I leave B.C Canada 🇨🇦 for Hanoi solo travel April 10 I'm so jazzed have been dreaming about doing this since reading N.G magazines as a child , now I'm ready to fully emerse myself .
This video made us miss Vietnam! Thank you for taking us back through your wonderful VLOG! Safe travels!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the video! We’re missing Vietnam too and are so excited to return in December. Do you have any plans to go back?
Oh wow this would have to be one of my favorite videos from Hanoi, 20 mintues of happiness through the vibracy of the city, joyfullness through the encounter of those adorable puppies, hungriness through the abundance of choices of food, sorrowness through the prison you guys visited and lastly directionless for Ashley showing the way through the busy streets.. i seriously cant wait to come back to Vietnam, i can see why Hanoi is fast becoming one of your favorite places Mike.. thanks once again friends
Seems like a lot of Western vloggers love Hanoi. I think they are drawn by the mixing of Vietnamese with French in the architecture and the food as well as the whole historical and traditional aspect to the city that places like HCMC lost due to it's zest to be too modern and Western. Foreigners don't necessarily want to travel abroad to see what they can find at home, especially if they are on vacation.
Thanks so much Vu! ☺️🙏🥰 It was an amazing time in an amazing city. We can’t wait to see your beautiful photos and videos from your next trip! You should start your vlog! 🙌 Thanks so much for the kind words and for always supporting us. ☺️🙏
The vibes in Hanoi are just something else!
Great video, Those emotional exhibits are such hard things to film. You guys did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to your next one!
Yeah, and they really did a great job of filming it, too.
Thanks so much guys! 🤗 Thanks for watching. Yea, it was a heavy place to be for sure. And we weren’t quite sure how to include it in the video. But I’m glad you guys feel it worked. Definitely something everyone should see when they visit Hanoi, and I’m sure there is plenty of other things we missed too.
@doodahgurlie, thank you so much! 🥰
Great vlog guys! We went to the exact same place to try egg coffee and we also had a great catch-up with an old friend there! Great memories! ✨
Thanks so much guys! ☺️ That cafe is everything! We were so lucky to find a good seat. The cafes in Hanoi in general are all so magical. ☺️
21:08: Vietnam has a painful past. But now we have put all the pain and animosity behind and started building a new future. We always welcome all friends from five continents, regardless of whether their country has invaded or sent troops to Vietnam or not. I think we've been through enough pain. Now is the time to heal the wounds.
Well spoken! ☺️ We felt nothing but love from the people of Vietnam. It’s such a friendly place to visit. 🤗
That’s so sad to hear. 😔
@@mikeandashleybạn không nên tin những lời xuyên tạc này . Chào đón bạn đã đến thăm đất nước chúng tôi .
@@thethaovatoquoc312 You sound extremely biased and not at all factual. Per Wikipedia (notice the second sentence applies to your comments/opinions): "Some estimates of those killed range up to 200,000.[32] However, *other scholarship has concluded that the higher estimates were based on political propaganda emanating from South Vietnam with the support of the US, and that the actual total of those executed was significantly lower*. Scholar Balasz Szalontai wrote that documents of Hungarian diplomats living in North Vietnam at the time of the land reform provided a minimum number of 1,337 executions.[33] This is consistent with Gareth Porter's report of a South Vietnamese government document released in 1959 that estimated around 1,500 executions.[34] Scholar Edwin E. Moise estimated the total number of executions at between 3,000 and 15,000 and later came up with a more precise figure of 13,500.[35][36]" Now let's talk about how many died directly and indirectly because of the war. Millions. And how many bombs were dropped. And how much poison was spread over the land. And how many historically significant sites were destroy forever. You get the gist.
@@mikeandashley I wonder, Do you believe those lies?
You guys are such lovely couple. I enjoyed your videos in Vietnam. You have some unique experiences. Happy traveling.
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰 We really loved our time in Vietnam! Thank you for watching. 🤗
Loved the vlog guys 😊
We have been to Hanoi long time ago and after watching your video we really want to go again 😍 I think trip to Vietnam is on a cards very soon 😉
Thanks for watching guys! 🤗 Vietnam is the vibe for sure, and you guys are so close! Would love to see your take on it. ☺️
Hanoi from your perspective is so vivid, thank you for these realistic footage
Wow, that compliment means the world to us. Thank you. 🥰🥰 We’re happy you enjoyed the video.
What a beautiful and poignant presentation of Maison Centrale (Hoa Lo Prison)! I am Vietnamese, and those few minutes of the video really moved me in a very unexpected way! This might be my favorite Hanoi video.
Thank you for your kind words. We filmed so much more of the prison that we edited out, but the prison really affected us, and we wanted to include more. We're happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching! 🥰🙏
Hanoi is so amazing City ❤❤ coffee looks delicious 😋😋
It really is! We can’t wait to return. 🥰
You guys are amazing and full of energetic… love to watch your videos ❤
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoy the videos. We love making them. 🥰
Thank you so much, Việt Nam welcome all of you around the world ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! The Vietnamese people are incredibly welcoming and we love traveling here. 🥰
To be honest, i've seen a lot of videos about my city of Hanoi but your video touches me the most! I'm happy to know that you guys enjoyed Hanoi!
Aw, thank you so much! This comment means the world to us. 🥰🥰🥰 We loved our short time in Hanoi and cannot wait to return. We wanted to do the best we could to do the city the justice we feel like it deserves. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
I love your smiles. Can't wait for your next video :) I hope you do more vids in Vietnam.
Aw, thanks so much! We will, we will be visiting again later this year with some friends and we can’t wait to explore a bit more.
Great video guys! Hopefully you have good time in my country!
Thank you so much! We’ve had an amazing time. Vietnam is such a beautiful place. ☺️
It's more fun to see you two in Vietnam. Such adorable! The part where Ashley tried to figure the directions was hilarious lol. Hope to see you two in Vn again.
We will be back for sure! There’s so much left to explore! And yea, Ashley and directions is often hilarious… welcome to my life! 😂 Thanks for watching! We’re happy you liked the video. 🤗
You guys are a natural at this, and i really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
That means a lot to us. Thank you so much! 🙏❤️
Chúc 2 vợ chồng có chuyến trải nghiệm VN đầy ý nghĩa nhé
Thank you so much. We have loved every minute of it!
Hi Mike and Ashley :)) It's Bessy Q, your fellow classmate over from LaunchPad here. I LOVE your content!!! As a Vietnamese born and raised in Hanoi, I am extremely happy to see you have so much travel content in Vietnam I laughed out loud when Mike commented on how the bus ride was less than ideal and the 8 minute walk becoming 30 minute walk and even when you guys got lost later haha. Let me just be realistic and admit the GPS is sometimes entirely useless for navigating in Vietnam 🤣 but it's ok I get lost there too. Ashley I love your giggle when you enjoy food. You guys definitely should come back for more yummy food; if you want more Hanoi-origin dishes besides bánh cuốn, try bánh đúc as well :))
Hey Bessy Q! 🤗 Thanks so much for checking out our videos! We LOVE Vietnam, especially Hanoi. We’re actually back here right now! We just arrived on the 1st.
It’s definitely one of our favorite cuisines, so we’re 100% going to try any recommendation you have! We have run into some funny issues GPS wise, but that’s honestly everywhere we’ve traveled!
We’re going to be filming some more videos here in Hanoi and in some surrounding parts of northern Vietnam. We’re so excited. We never want to leave!
Thanks for stopping by and saying hi! Hope you’re having a lovely New Year so far! ☺️🥰
Cảm ơn các bạn đã đến Việt Nam . Chúc các bạn có một kỳ nghỉ vui vẻ bình an và hạnh phúc . Việt Nam luôn chào đón các bạn
Cảm ơn! 🤗 We had such a lovely time and can’t wait to return.
I have been watching all of your videos in preparation for my upcoming trip! I love your content!
That's so great to hear! We hope you have a wonderful time in Vietnam. Safe travels! 🥰
I love this season, so beautiful, so many flowers in Hanoi
Hanoi is lovely, isn’t it? 🥰
Super amazing video which is very useful for my next trip to Hanoi.
We’re so glad we could help! Have fun on your next trip to Hanoi. We can't wait to return. 😊
Welcome to Hanoi, my hometown. This is a great city , wish you happiness and health
It IS a great city. We love it. 🥰 Thanks for watching.
Have a trip to visit Hanoi capital with lots of fun and happiness, you two ^^
Thank you so much! 🥰
Ahh Hanoi so beautiful !! I was born there then moved to US. Been 8years since ive been back ='( def gonna visit soon! Ha Long Bay Cruise is gorgeous ! you guys will have so much fun memories! Enjoy ! Thank you for sharing your experience =)
Thanks so much for watching! Hanoi is certainly beautiful. It quickly became one of our favorite cities in the world. 🥰
Hi there, so lovely to see your video, that fry buns filling were green bean paste :)) xx
We’re happy you enjoyed it! ☺️☺️☺️ We love that bean paste!
I love banh cuon and think everyone should try it, not sure how that place compares to others as different vendors add different toppings with theirs. I'm here for the fried crunchy puffy rice sheet (I think the greens are Chinese broccoli, not water spinach). I'd highly recommend doing a food tour next time you're in Hanoi as they have really great guides there from the videos I've seen. Thoroughly enjoyed all the beautiful shots of the city and people going about their day.
Thanks so much! ☺️ We loved all the food we tried. I’m not sure why we didn’t do a food tour. Maybe it was because we didn’t want to come across as trying to imitate other channels, as it’s quite popular to do them. But now we feel like we will absolutely come back and do one. There’s so much we could learn! The fried rice sheet was also my favorite. So delicious!
born and raised in hanoi, i'm so grateful you guys give this city a tremendous love🥰
Aw, thank you! We absolutely LOVE Hanoi. It’s such an incredible city. We consider it like a second home. We’re happy you enjoyed our video. 🥰
Such a great video about Hanoi. I LOVE IT. Fyi: the filling of the donut is actually bean paste, it is one of the most often-used filling in Vietnamese traditional deserts 😊
Thank you so much! 🤗
We’ve heard, who knew! 🤷♂️🤷♀️ It was so delicious! Ngon! We love those donuts. Every time we see a vendor now, it’s so tempting to buy a bag full! Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰
I am very glad that you guys enjoyed your trip in Hanoi, especially as I’m a Hanoian (but living far from home now) :)
We loved it so much. One of our favorite cities in the world, and that’s saying a lot, as we’re not city people typically!
Thanks guys, for the video.
We were in Hanoi in April and I already miss my hometown. 😁
Thank you for watching! We also miss Hanoi. It’s an amazing city and we already have plans to return in a few months. 😊
@@mikeandashley Awesome, we are planning to go next time again.
Have fun 😎
Same to you! ☺️
It puts a smile on my face watching Ashley enjoying her food. Thank you for another entertaining video!
Haha thanks so much! 🥰
We just got back from Hanoi. We miss it so much, and this video brought us back there. GREAT video! I’m surprised how empty the streets were in your videos!! Maybe people are flocking there now in November but it was definitely more packed!
We just got back yesterday and already feel at home here; the people are so welcoming. It is definitely busier than the last time we visited though! 😅
@@mikeandashley please enjoy it for us!! How long will you guys stay there and where will you tour??? Sapa? Ha Giang loop?? Can’t wait for videos!!
We are actually currently in Sa Pa, so hopefully we can get our vlogs caught up so we can get the new Vietnam content out soon!
We do also plan on Ha Giang! We have the 90 day visa, so we hope to stay here as long as possible now. 🤗🤗
The train cafe you can go there in the evening, you will have a chance to see the train running pass by, very close even you sit in the cafe. And the street there looked very charming in the evening.
Thanks for the tip! The one man told us to come back at 9pm, but we didn’t want to have coffee that late, so we passed. ☺️
Today I've just watched your videos of travelling in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. That's a fascinating experience that you had. Welcome to Viet Nam more and more times again :3 Thank you!
Thank you for watching! We've actually been back to Hanoi three times since this video. We love it so much! 🥰
Just found your channel and wow how great is Hanoi, my wife and I are planning to visit Vietnam and Cambodia so seeing your videos helps us to see what life is like and offers inspiration, thank you.
That’s awesome! We’re happy you found them! And yea, we LOVE Hanoi! We’re actually planning a Cambodia trip as we speak! We hope you enjoy your trip. 😊🙏
Chúc 2 bạn có chuyến du lịch Hà Nội tuyệt vời. ❤, bánh tôm, chả cá, bún đậu, phở gà…
Thanks! We have been loving the food here.
you're a whole vibe❤ love the vlog
Aw thank you! ☺️🙏 We’re happy you loved it! Thanks for watching. 🥰
You guys are awesome....so wondering to see your touring experience in the city.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Cảm ơn bạn đã yêu Hà Nội ! ❤ Video đẹp ! 👍
Thank you so much for watching! It’s hard not to fall in love with such an incredible city. We’re dreaming of coming back soon!
Pretty sure the pho cuon was supposed to be dipped into the fish sauce and maybe you did that later, but in case you didn't, if it comes with fish sauce, dip it or pour it over whatever you're eating (if it's like a noodle bowl). The dips/sauces often are the carriers of the flavor for that specific meal. That one place with all the doggies...cuteness overload!
The pups were SO cute! We met so many lovely dogs in Vietnam. We do typically try the dishes with everything provided. Sometimes it’s just not on camera. It took us a while to get used to the flavor of fish sauce, which is why we usually ate thing with chili sauce or similar. But we grew to really enjoy it! We just also LOVE the flavor of the chili sauces and pastes in Vietnam. ☺️
Thank you for loving our country. We love you
Thank you so much! Vietnam (and the people) are easy to fall in love with. 🥰
Thank you for visiting our beautiful city.
Of course! It won't be the last time. We've just booked our tickets back for in less than a month! We can't wait.
Nice job on the video! You did a great job explaining what you were experiencing. Very enjoyable! By the way that was likely mung beans in the pastry not potato :)
Thank you so much! We had a great time filming this video. 🥰❤️
Bánh rán! They is made with green bean grilled inside friends!
☺️🫛
Good to know you love our country 🥰🥰☺☺
We really do! We just flew into Hanoi yesterday with three-month visas, and we can't wait to explore more of the country. 🥰❤️
Love you guys positive, open minded vibe
Thank you so much! We try to stay positive. 😊
Thank you for beautiful filming about Vietnam, btw the donuts filling were green bean tho
Thank you so much! The donuts were so good. We never knew we liked mung bean until coming to SE Asia, but now we’ve realized we love it! 🥰
Tuyệt vời quá,2 bạn luôn có một trái nghiệm hết sức thú vị,,chúc 2 bạn luôn vui vẻ với hành trinh của 2 bạn nhé❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you so much! We’re happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
As a Hanoian. You ate most of my childhood food 😂
Have a nice trip ❤
Nice! Glad we got a great selection. We had recommendations from our friends who lived in Hanoi for a year, so that helped!
Your video is amazing
Thank you so much! 🤗
The puppies were my favourite part 😂😂 SO CUTE
Same! They were so adorable. The food at the restaurant was good too. 🥰
The filling of Banh Ran donuts is actually ground mung beans. Enjoy Vietnam guys!!!
Oh nice! We’ve had things filled with mung bean before, that makes sense. ☺️
@@mikeandashley Yeah, anytime you see yellow paste like that inside of something (e.g. desserts or snacks, but can be in savory foods as well), it's typically mung beans.
Makes sense! So many uses for it. We’ve seen it all over SE Asia.
Ashly is a very well spoken, intelligent, empathetic, funny, honest women I've ever seen. She's also incredibly Beautiful. Best combo there is.
Mike: Your a VERY lucky man, I'm really jealous.
Thank you so much! Your comments made my day. 🥹🥰
Tips on Vnese food guys : u gotta dip it in the sauce first , heavy or light dip depends on the saltiness of the sauce 😍Like 90% of the time 😙Love the editing and the trip!
We didn't like fish sauce when we filmed this, but we’ve since realized it has its place. 😅
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Vietnamese people are so friendly, like the dogs welcome you guys😆
We’ve met so many lovely dogs in Vietnam. 🥰
Pho Bac (northern pho) is the best! I'm from Saigon but I always like Pho Bac better than southern pho.
We did, too! All pho is delicious, but we especially loved pho in Hanoi. 🤭
You should try the lemon tea and "cốm" on the sidewalk near the Cathedral. Also smell the milky flower. They're the signature of fall in Hanoi.
Thanks for the recommendations! 🥰
I am a native here. About the train cafe. That's where the local government doesn't want tourists to visit. But because the number of tourists is so large, there will be a period when the regional police will be soft for those cafes to operate for economic benefits. After a while they harden again not to let tourists visit. But then they are soft for tourists to visit. That's the interesting chorus I've observed over the last 4 years not excluding the covid years.
From what I was able to glean, a Korean tourist did something he wasn't supposed to and got hurt, so they shut down Train Street. last year However, vendors can invite the visitors to their shops (assuming they buy a drink or food) vs letting everyone in to just walk around the tracks. Probably a way to control the crowd and their guests, but also a way to bypass the authorities. But there are also other less known and popular areas of the track that visitors can go to now.
Interesting! That makes a bit more sense. We saw photos all over Instagram of people playing on the tracks, getting photos, having coffee, etc. There was so much information, but nothing mentioned just not being able to go until 9pm. We didn’t want coffee at 9pm haha, so we skipped it unfortunately.
We’ll just have to check it out next time. 🤗 Thanks for the information!
We looked for a “back way in” for a few minutes, just to see, but ultimately didn’t want to break any rules. It looked like the direction we went, the train crossed over the road from above. We enjoyed heading towards Tay Ho and playing with cute dogs and eating food though! ☺️
Thank you very much for a very informative video.
Of course! We’re happy you enjoyed it. ☺️ Thanks for watching!
chúc hai cháu có những ngày tháng hạnh phúc và vui vẻ trên quê hương Việt Nam của chú ❤❤.!!
Thank you so much! 🥰❤️
happy travelinggg 🙌🙌🙆♂🙆♂
Thank you so much! 😊
Now is the most beautiful time of Ha Noi,you should go to Phan Dinh Phung street or Tay lake to take some picture,amazing trend in here.
That sounds lovely! We’re planning to return to Hanoi for a longer period of time to explore more of Northern Vietnam. We will add this to our list for sure! ☺️
September-October or March-April is the most pleasant and cool time of the year. That time is very suitable to enjoy the atmosphere of Hanoi. Especially if you have the opportunity to experience Hanoi's autumn, you will remember it forever
We’ll keep that in mind! Sounds like the beautiful seasons from where we used to live in North Carolina.
Indeed, we are here right now!
We’re so jealous of you! We can’t wait to return in a few months!
everyone is so happy
Truly! We absolutely adore Hanoi! 🤗
Wow it’s so nice beautiful cool video clip and thanks my friend wow it’s so nice beautiful cool video clip and thanks

You should dip the Pho Cuon in the prepared fish sauce like you did for the Banh Cuon to enhance the taste and flavour of those rolls . That fish sauce makes all the difference for those dishes . The yellow stuff inside the Banh Ran balls is actually mung bean paste.
It took us a while to warm up to the idea of fish sauce, but now we enjoy it. 😅
The donuts with mung bean were so delicious! 😋
@@mikeandashley The food would be extra bland without fish sauce. Fish sauce is either used in the cooking of the dish or used to dip/pour onto the meal. Oft times, if it's made to be dipped or poured into the meal, if you don't do it, you won't get any flavor at all. If you're not a fish sauce fan, then you may need to find dishes that are cooked with other sauces in them...which would be a bit challenging in Vietnam.
We don’t mind fish sauce, it’s just usually not our first choice of dipping, but we did get used to it in the end. The flavor is quite good, the smell is interesting for us! 😅😂 It really does enhance the dish, especially with some chilis, garlic and vinegar! 😋
Why don't you set a notification to play new videos as usual. people don't seem to see much
Do you mean the premieres?
@@mikeandashley Oh that's right, the premiere will be grand and everyone will gather 😊
We will do this next time if we’ll be available! ☺️ Glad you enjoy them!
Looking forward to your experience in Halong Bay. Hope you put your different spin on it
Thanks so much! We hope so, too. 😅
Fun travel to Vietnam food everything is cheap and fun
It really is. We love Vietnam and can't wait to return in December! 🥰
