      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.

      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.

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 :))

      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!

      @@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.

    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.

    • @doodahgurlie
      @doodahgurlie Год назад +1

      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.

    • @mikeandashley
      @mikeandashley  Год назад

      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.

    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!

    • @mikeandashley

      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. ☺️

      @@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.
