Lmao you made it like we haven't seen any white people 😂 white are not rare in Vietnam anymore especially blonde 😂 Latino is rare tho not much chica here , lot of white girl tho 😉
It's actually really easy to do. Most people are friendly as well as curious. As long as you're friendly back you make friends incredibly easy in foreign countries.
Oh well, Kurt is the kind of guy who makes friends out of anyone, very laid back and talkative person, y también muy guapo lol. Te concedería un baile, Kurt 💃 Afectuosamente, Marisol.
- show up to Vietnamese ceremony in a military uniform - take the donation envelope and leave Really bringing the 1970 experience to the next generation, Kurt 😂
Daaaamn. Really? That was for donations? And he pocket it? 😄That's a new lvl of awkwardness reached. 😅 It's like you go into a hindu temple eat all the coconuts people bring with them and then leave with an innocent smile
In the last part, the family said they ran out of pho (it was late at night so they were sitting down for dinner) and the rice was "com rang" which translates literally to fried rice haha. The reason the rice tasted so good was because the best fried rice is made from day old rice so it taste crispier than you'd get from fresh rice. The guy's wife made you food from their kitchen as if you're a long lost relative that just stumbled in :)
@@siralexander3359 That guy was drunk or something, I'm Vietnamese & I couldn't make out what he was saying. Only thing I catch is at the end he's saying the ladies didn't believe he could speak English so he tried to speak Russian + gibberish to seem like he knows a bit of English I guess haha.
You just gotta put yourself out there dude! Kurt and people like Kurt don’t wait for things to come to them they go and seek it out. People are attracted to confidence
Fucking love how you strolled into that wedding and they all had a look on their face as if they had been waiting for you 😂 Man Vietnamese people are so friendly and welcoming. Love it.
Hi Kurt ! Welcome to VN . You were actually one of the rare Westerners who got the chance to attend that religious ceremony . That religion is an old traditional belief in VN , called Dao Tho Mâu ( the worshipping of the Mother Goddesses ) . The lady who was dancing on the stage is a spirit medium .Back at that moment she was possessed by the spirit of Ong Hoang Muoi ( the 10th Prince of Heaven ) , the deity who gives wealth and success in life to the attending persons . So keep the lucky money in the envelope that the other lady gave you . That unique to VN religion is recognized as an intangible cultural world heritage by UNESCO .

Let me reclarify the situation a bit more because its been bugging me not being able to understand what he's trying to say haha. The guy is trying to slip in english/russian words, sometimes it ends up being a big ol' slur of a bunch of words or he's got a pre-notation of how English words are meant to be. For example alot of people like to say good as goot. My assumption is that my family has just been too lazy to actually pronounce the D, but it may as well be a pre-notation because I hear plenty from the country side people speaking in such a way. You can hear him say "capital" with a t sound at the end, same idea. Again though alot of it really is just him saying gibberish because viet people who just don't care speak in a sort of gestured and short sounds sorta way. Almost like saying hmm for every little thing. It's quirky nontheless and they try, can't fault em for not trying yknow. Another thing, he was pointing to the other side of the road and saying that there's a hotel with a 5 star casino.

Immigrants in general are less likely to cause problems and they work hard. Back then, when many came in the 70's, there was the same xenophobia with them as we see with other nationalities now.

@KunichayI'm vietnamese and i have no idea either lmfao. First time seeing whatever that it. Probably some kind of old tradition that's exist only in the northern region. I live in the south tho, so no clue.
Best channel on youtube by far. Kurt is so amazing to watch confidently navigate a complete foreign nation and make so many genuine connections. I loved this episode!
Kurt really makes me just keep loving the world!! He shows how the vast majority of the world is just friendly living their lives and loves to incorporate visitors into their lives! Thanks Kurt for just going into every situation!
vietnamese ppl are one of the realest ppl i know. their country has been through terrible shit, which is really sad to say, hardship often creates wonderful people, tough people but very kindhearted and also the best cuisines out there.
That is not a wedding, it is a ceremony in Vietnam called "Hầu Đồng." It is a way to communicate with deities in order to bring luck and peace to people.
@@livingbeing953 no not racist. If you're black they will be more curious about your hair than anything else because it looks sp different. But they will treat you on the same human level as them. Vietnamese people in the US are more racist due to living in close proximity to ghetto areas (but this is an issue with crime more than an issue with race). Vietnamese in Vietnam are more race-neutral to other people more so than most Americans.
17:24 he was calling you handsome lmao then asked if you were walking to your destination. I’m so glad you get to travel my home country! Hope you enjoy Kurt!
I love your videos man. You are super chill, respectful to locals and know how to handle every situation. Keep up the good work, thanks for your videos and enjoy your travels.
I’m so glad you went to VN, thank you so much Kurt for showing to the people my beautiful country. As a vietnamese borned and raised abroad, i can say i’m very proud of my people.
@@kameemyeu8623 I stumbled across Kurt’s channel while looking for those guys who explore abandoned mansions. I first saw Kurt sweaty, unable to really ride that motorbike on a back road in DR. He was wearing a helmet. So it was the beaches and scenery that initially caught my attention. Then I realized Kurt was putting out real content & substance so I went back & watched all his earlier uploads. Took me forever as I work 6 days a week. He’s easy on the eyes, but he’s real & he’s genuine. He doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Even when folks in foreign lands piss him off, he isn’t an asshat to them & he basically walks off. I can admire that. He calls them on their BS when they’re trying to rip him off. I seriously feel he’s the only RUclipsr out there that goes where he goes, is inquisitive about each place, & truly wants to understand their customs & their people. Not to mention that street food & local beer. I’m just hooked. I wish he’d compete on MTV’s The Challenge.
And we think that getting “Followers” and “Likes” is an admirable way to live life…. It’s crazy how a Single smart phone has changed the world forever.. But Kurt shows us that there is still a way to live Life the actual way it was meant to be. Thanks man
My exwife is Vietnamese and I have a half Viet daughter. They’re very hardworking people. My mother in law fled the communists in the mid 80’s and got to America with 5 kids, no husband, and no English. She still works her ass off at 75 years old. All 4 of my brother in laws own nail salons and do very well. They’re very matriarchal and still all gather at mom’s house to cook together, etc.. My daughter is 10 and is bilingual in English and Vietnamese. My exwife and I have been divorced for years, but we get along great and coparent amicably, so I’m still around her family frequently and they treat me no different than when we were married. Just some loyal, humble, family oriented people. Ps- I can’t believe you wore that soldier getup in public lol Edit: I forgot to mention my former mother in law is Buddhist. In her living room there’s an entire wall that’s a shrine dedicated to her dead relatives. It has a Buddha statue, individual pictures of all of her relatives with electric candles that light them all the time, incense burners, all kinds of trinkets and mementos, and she puts out fresh fruit on plates for them every few days. It was cool watching her do her Buddhist thing as I’m always fascinated by other religions, traditions, etc.. The Vietnamese are also very ceremonial.
At about 37 minutes into the video, you're trying to find a hotel on your phone and there is literally a sign over your shoulder that says "nha nghi" which is the Vietnamese version of a motel. A clean room with private bath can probably be had in the building behind the restaurant for under $10 a night.
You’re so inspiring I have been suffering from depression an your videos are helping me see life from a new perspective I really appreciate you more then you can imagine
That's very cool. Last year I had to go spend some time in a psychiatric hospital. I couldn't function normally and suffered some severe depression. It was watching his videos over and over that got me through until I got some help and got better. It's so nice to hear he's helping you too. Please reach out and I hope you feel better soon.
A great demonstration of just being good people that don't speak the same language can have positive shared human experiences. Brilliant as usual Kurt!
This is so much more entertaining then watching some bulls*it tv show or some third rate movie. Just absolute great content. I also appreciate that Kurt is uploading long videos most recently.
Sailing up as nr.1 vlogger on youtube. Amazing content - lovely and honest people and culture. Beautiful country - with it's harsh and tested history... Vietnamese people are hardworkers with balls of steel and a heart of gold. Love from Norge
I knew it! I was in Ho Chi Minh during Tet and we were staying at the same hotel. I saw you during breakfast each day. I didn't want to approach you just to respect your privacy. It must be hard being a YT celebrity. Anyways, my Fiancé lives there and I have fallen in love with the Vietnamese people and the culture. Love your content Kurt!
That explains why the streets were so empty because everyone shuts down for tet new years and goes backto their country side where they're from celebrating with family members
@@KurtCaz Damn! I guess I was mistaken. You have a doppelganger then! haha I stayed at the Holiday in near the airport. Thanks for all your videos and content. Very entertaining. :)
Hi Kurt my name is Ali, I'm from Vietnam and I've never been there, thanks to your videos I can see with my eyes my country from kilometres away, you're great for what you do, show the culture of every country spontaneous and genuine, as you live your travels are to be admired, continue so you are truly a person open to the whole world if you feel prejudice
About 70.000 almost in the south In 15th Vietnam nowadays included Dai Viet in the north and Champa in the south Then the north expanded to south. Champa relied on Bramah( Hinduism) but after collapsing her offspring , the Cham ethnic was changed. Cham in the Central still kept traditional religion but ones who live in Southern now are Muslims
As someone currently travelling in Vietnam this video was so funny but also inspiring. Kurt travels in the best way possible, just flinging his way into any situation he can.
dude i love kurt interaction with people, makes it way easier for me to ease the burden of how people mistreating each other, keep it up man, stay safe, much love
kurt the vietnam adventures have to have been my fav of yours so far. i like how you travel across the country on a bike. it allows me to see deep into the country rather than just the cities!
17:17 Handsome, you're handsome. Do you walk? Is that your motorbike? 21:27. Your country don't has this one. 26:06. The man translated what the woman said: She said I don't know English, I said nonsense 28:34. He said hotel, 5 star 32:54. Eat Phở? Where is your mobile phone (to show her what Kurt want)?
5 years ago I spent a few weeks north of Hanoi in the mountains near the chinese border. The small villages and towns were some of the most welcoming people to foreigners. We would eat food, play games, and join in their community events completely naturally. The best meal I've ever had was when we were invited to a family's home and had about 15 different dishes. An absolutely amazing country!
That wedding scene was hilarious. Keep the good work Kurt! You are the only one making long form of videos that I actually watch from the beginning to the end.
It is a religious ceremony call Hầu đồng in which the band play music and sing songs about the saint and cô đồng who wear colorful clothes dances to describe how the saint is At the extreme she may throw money note to the attendants and because Kurt come too early or lately so she gives him a lucky bag
Peak comedy tbh I haven’t laughed this hard at social misunderstandings while at the same time appreciated someone visiting Vietnam so much as Kurt made me felt watching this.
This is the Quality Content i started to love this Channel for, and i'm happy to see it come back to the Roots. Greetings from Germany Kurt, stay safe ✌️
I think we have around 50 thousand Vietnamese people living in Poland that are kind, hard working people who actually care enough to learn our incredibly difficult language ❤️ I’m glad you got to try the best food ever, while tickling my nostalgia vibes from few years back in Vietnam.
Yeah I 100% agree with you I live in orange county California we have the highest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and they are some of the nicest hardworking people ive seen.
Hello, chef from Poland here. I can confirm, I used to work in a burger restaurant in Szczecin and one of the waitresses was Vietnamese. Her name was May. Super friendly, we always had a laugh during the shifts and during rush hours she worked hard. Best regards to you Vietnamese people from Poland. I hope that one day I will be lucky enough to visit your country!
@@JJMR3000welcome you to Vietnam, hope some day you can visit our lovely country, Vietnam is developing country but our culture is respecting the guest come to visit with warmly heart😊
@@HungTranLe-kp8up thanks, Poland is also a developing eastern Europe country. I understand the struggle and the hard work that needs to be put in it's development. All the best. Cảm ơn !
After this video, Vietnam is definitely on my list, not because of the country but because the people seem like very wonderful kind-hearted honest people. Love from an Algerian.
The impressive thing is after being caught between two superpowers they didn't adopt a victim complex like Iran, etc. They built a good economy even with the eventual help of the US. But they didn't really win the war against the US. The US left. They had signed a peace treaty with the US and when Nixon left office they broke the treaty and invaded the South. This was after US combat troops had been gone for more than a year. There were only around 1000 special forces advisors.
It's an amazing place, one of the most beautiful countries I've been to. And yes, you will find abundant hospitality 😊 Get a bike and travel the country, there's no better way to do it!
I’m easily one of your biggest fans boss, appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos, as usual! I get the notification and I save these bad boys for a later moment in my life where I’m able to fully enjoy them! Nice beer, lil weed and my feet up! After a nice workout preferably, I’m rambling now! But Kurt MF Caz! If there ever was the reason to call someone the GOAT, you are that reason sir ❤
I check your page every day to see if you’ve uploaded - I can’t explain why but your videos really make me feel good about life man! wishing you all the best Kurt!
Hi, i m Vietnamese i can help translate some for you, the man with the big pipe Kurt met on the side street and later bought 2 sugar cane drinks after took a sip of raw cigaret from the giant pipe, he spoke a lot but i couldn't understand a word, i think he spoke Russian, he thought Kurt is Russian because there are many Russian live in VN. The restaurant with people were having dinner, the men also spoke a lot and the same as before I couldn't understand any of the words that they said.
@daoduytu first of all you can be proud being Vietnamese, very friendly people. Very welcoming even though there's that language barrier! amazing thing. Wouldn't be a thing here in Europe usually. The guy whom you were speaking of, I was also wondering what he said since he spoke all the time. I know Russian (non native speaker), the only Russian word I heard was Spacibo ) the rest didn't sound even slavic. )) maybe he was just very drunk/high/dialect speaking or whatever. Fun encounter though!
Holy shiznet. Kurt really got himself in it this time. Love to watch the random shenanigans. Absolute legend. Also: Wearing a WW2 - Vietnam Era American Helmet is crazy being white in Vietnam to me hahaha
Kurt! I’ve made it, I have watched from your first video up until now. Enjoyed the travels in each video. Looking forward rolling with you thru Vietnam, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy the way you do but keep traveling. Cảm ơn! 🇺🇸
@@Nico-Diaz the best city for living, i will choose Da Nang, the most beautiful nature of vietnam, i think that is NORTHWEST VIETNAM, and the most friendly people, that is mekong delta river area

@@lookingfordiscovery u can search it online brother , its includes all of the best place . but the most important things for tourist is that u can be scam for stupid price, so ask the local for information, with that problem u are all set to go. and have a beautifull trip to VN mate
It’s really inspiring Kurt to see you walking around everywhere, curious to find new stuff. You are a good example of the mindset you gotta have to travel like this
One of the best videos you've done Kurt. I've always been fascinated with Vietnam and you showed it incredibly well. I do find it funny though that after all the traveling you've done, you never picked up any chop stick skills lol
Thank you for this video. Even though it was outrageous and funny it made me think of my deceased dad. He was a Vietnam vet, and I never really knew too much about the country of Vietnam. Your video showed me a snapshot of daily life in Vietnam in an interesting way only you can provide. Thank you for your conten. It is great and your free spirit is inspiring!
I am from Texas. I went to Vietnam for the first time last August to visit family and go on a week long motorcycle tour. Beautiful country. Beautiful people. 10/10 would go back. Saigon, Mui Ne, Phan Rang, Da Lat (go see Laurence How at Moto.Laurie Cafe & Bistro), Cat Tien, and back to Saigon. I want to go back and explore Northern Vietnam next time.
It is more spectacular for bikers in Central & Northern Vietnam There are many place where the mountain reach the sea so you can ride a pass while viewing the waves In the north you can find the paddy fields of rice along a river/stream in a valley amongst mountains or terrain fields at middle to top of a hill especially at the time the rice is ripening or pass in rocky plateau Some name to recommend: Mộc châu, Phù yên/ Tà xùa, Mù căng chải/ Tú lệ, Sapa, Hoàng su phì, Hà giang loop, Thác bà, Ba bể, Tam đảo....Northern is richer for culture & tribal ethnic
A blonde haired man cruising through Vietnam with a war helmet and aviators on….. Surely some people had flashbacks lol.

Best channel on youtube by far. Kurt is so amazing to watch confidently navigate a complete foreign nation and make so many genuine connections. I loved this episode!
Kurt really makes me just keep loving the world!! He shows how the vast majority of the world is just friendly living their lives and loves to incorporate visitors into their lives! Thanks Kurt for just going into every situation!
those added historic context sequence are appreciated Kurt, keep up the good work
Thank you
@@KurtCaz WTF BRO YOU REPLY TO COMMENTS???
I agree adds depth to the adventure we are on with you when you travel
@@KurtCaz Thank You Very Much !!! :))

Welcome back Kurt. I thought you got lost in Bangladesh.
😭😭😭
I thought the same😂
after Marroco and Bangladesh he was probably glued to some chicks 😂
@@AlejandroJavierHernandez-si4qzhe never been India 🤐

I had the same thought. 😂
vietnamese ppl are one of the realest ppl i know.
their country has been through terrible shit, which is really sad to say, hardship often creates wonderful people, tough people but very kindhearted and also the best cuisines out there.
I love vietnam, one of the greatest travel that i ever made. Every vietnamese treat me so kind and happy to help me
That is not a wedding, it is a ceremony in Vietnam called "Hầu Đồng." It is a way to communicate with deities in order to bring luck and peace to people.
Thank you. It was confusing.
Quick question .. are people there rac!st?
That Huge Tent with Lights, and Curtains tied back was Beautiful inside! Great Job to the People who Created that. ❤💯
What was he supposed to do with the envelope?
@@livingbeing953 no not racist. If you're black they will be more curious about your hair than anything else because it looks sp different. But they will treat you on the same human level as them. Vietnamese people in the US are more racist due to living in close proximity to ghetto areas (but this is an issue with crime more than an issue with race). Vietnamese in Vietnam are more race-neutral to other people more so than most Americans.
Kurt : "Safety first"
Kurt also : proceeds not to attach his helmet, protecting absolutely nothing
Followed by him crossing 8 lanes of traffic diagonally, 4 lanes in the opposite direction...
@@breeeepwith one hand
17:24 he was calling you handsome lmao then asked if you were walking to your destination. I’m so glad you get to travel my home country! Hope you enjoy Kurt!
I love your videos man. You are super chill, respectful to locals and know how to handle every situation. Keep up the good work, thanks for your videos and enjoy your travels.
Only Kurt could stumble upon a bonfire and end up gatecrashing a sacred ceremony 😂 you never cease to amaze me 👏🏼
Thankfully you're back man! we thought you were lost in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh forever in search of the beautiful girl from Chandpur.😊😊
I really thought we would get an update that he is now married 😂😂😂
@@SonOfVulkan hahaha that might've happened a few times in different continents for Kurt!!
@@RoyvilleMedia I've always wondered 😅😅
He’s a global scallywag!
For real lol
the photographer was late and they thought you were him. LOL!!!!
I’m so glad you went to VN, thank you so much Kurt for showing to the people my beautiful country. As a vietnamese borned and raised abroad, i can say i’m very proud of my people.
What I admire most about Kurt is that he doesn’t ask for likes or followers. We just do it.
The worst the channel, the more they ask for likes n subscribes. Bad sign
The more they ask the less likely I'll sub, 😂
Facts
We like and follow just because he is handsome. Lets face it
@@kameemyeu8623 I stumbled across Kurt’s channel while looking for those guys who explore abandoned mansions.
I first saw Kurt sweaty, unable to really ride that motorbike on a back road in DR. He was wearing a helmet. So it was the beaches and scenery that initially caught my attention.
Then I realized Kurt was putting out real content & substance so I went back & watched all his earlier uploads. Took me forever as I work 6 days a week.
He’s easy on the eyes, but he’s real & he’s genuine. He doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Even when folks in foreign lands piss him off, he isn’t an asshat to them & he basically walks off. I can admire that. He calls them on their BS when they’re trying to rip him off.
I seriously feel he’s the only RUclipsr out there that goes where he goes, is inquisitive about each place, & truly wants to understand their customs & their people. Not to mention that street food & local beer.
I’m just hooked.
I wish he’d compete on MTV’s The Challenge.
Just got done going through a breakup and Kurt you remind me there’s a huge world out there.
And we think that getting “Followers” and “Likes” is an admirable way to live life…. It’s crazy how a Single smart phone has changed the world forever.. But Kurt shows us that there is still a way to live Life the actual way it was meant to be. Thanks man
I don't have time to travel, so I live vicariously through Kurt
That’s sad
That’s sad living life thru another man’s eyes
@@osamabidenobama8240It’s a joke dude, I have a very fulfilling life. I just don’t travel much. It’s not that deep.
Pretty sad living off another person’s adventures. Youll die old knowing you looked thru life thru someone elses eyes lmao
@@JohnWicksPencil14its kinda pathetic bro you wasn’t kidding 💀💀
My exwife is Vietnamese and I have a half Viet daughter. They’re very hardworking people. My mother in law fled the communists in the mid 80’s and got to America with 5 kids, no husband, and no English. She still works her ass off at 75 years old. All 4 of my brother in laws own nail salons and do very well. They’re very matriarchal and still all gather at mom’s house to cook together, etc.. My daughter is 10 and is bilingual in English and Vietnamese. My exwife and I have been divorced for years, but we get along great and coparent amicably, so I’m still around her family frequently and they treat me no different than when we were married. Just some loyal, humble, family oriented people.
Ps- I can’t believe you wore that soldier getup in public lol
Edit: I forgot to mention my former mother in law is Buddhist. In her living room there’s an entire wall that’s a shrine dedicated to her dead relatives. It has a Buddha statue, individual pictures of all of her relatives with electric candles that light them all the time, incense burners, all kinds of trinkets and mementos, and she puts out fresh fruit on plates for them every few days. It was cool watching her do her Buddhist thing as I’m always fascinated by other religions, traditions, etc.. The Vietnamese are also very ceremonial.
Thank you for sharing that's cool you still get along 😃
What's your ex @.?

Kurt is sick wit it. Just gets right in the middle of the culture, no hesitation. Respect Caz 💯
At about 37 minutes into the video, you're trying to find a hotel on your phone and there is literally a sign over your shoulder that says "nha nghi" which is the Vietnamese version of a motel. A clean room with private bath can probably be had in the building behind the restaurant for under $10 a night.
Vietnamese are really kind people. Brings back alot of memories ❤
I agree. My time there in 2017 was great.
@okidoke4822 My time in the 60's was full of budweiser beer and dope.

They are kind but a lot talk behind your back. They're known to be fairly racist towards each other as well
@@UmdogTRWhat a stupid question ffs.
You’re so inspiring I have been suffering from depression an your videos are helping me see life from a new perspective I really appreciate you more then you can imagine
Stay strong
Good on you you are the one making your life better I did it years ago it only gets better from now on
Keep it up
Hey brother,
A man needs a mission.
🌙
That's very cool. Last year I had to go spend some time in a psychiatric hospital. I couldn't function normally and suffered some severe depression. It was watching his videos over and over that got me through until I got some help and got better. It's so nice to hear he's helping you too. Please reach out and I hope you feel better soon.
So amazing he just goes / gets invited into a random ceremony I love it. This guys a true adventurer
A great demonstration of just being good people that don't speak the same language can have positive shared human experiences. Brilliant as usual Kurt!
Just an humble opinion from an ordinary Italian guy: Kurt videos are the most interesting on RUclips.
100% best travel videos. Cool guy as well
Carpe Diem!
This is so much more entertaining then watching some bulls*it tv show or some third rate movie. Just absolute great content. I also appreciate that Kurt is uploading long videos most recently.
Sailing up as nr.1 vlogger on youtube. Amazing content - lovely and honest people and culture. Beautiful country - with it's harsh and tested history... Vietnamese people are hardworkers with balls of steel and a heart of gold. Love from Norge
LOL, Kurt rolls into a restaurant in a genuine GI uniform and shakes hands with a legit north Vietnam soldier that served. Legend!
Kurt likes to visit other countries in hard mode by refusing to utilize a translator app on a phone
I knew it! I was in Ho Chi Minh during Tet and we were staying at the same hotel. I saw you during breakfast each day. I didn't want to approach you just to respect your privacy. It must be hard being a YT celebrity. Anyways, my Fiancé lives there and I have fallen in love with the Vietnamese people and the culture. Love your content Kurt!
😂😂😂 my ass is so used to my Vietnam vet family members when you said you were there during Tet i assumed you meant the offensive during the war lol
That explains why the streets were so empty because everyone shuts down for tet new years and goes backto their country side where they're from celebrating with family members
I’m pretty sure he would’ve liked it… a lot different than Egyptian scammers lol
I stayed one night in a hotel in Saigon, so I don't know who you must of seen but it wasn't me 😆
@@KurtCaz Damn! I guess I was mistaken. You have a doppelganger then! haha
I stayed at the Holiday in near the airport. Thanks for all your videos and content. Very entertaining. :)
Good on you Kurt. This is the only way to travel - on the streets, with the local people. Love it!
Thank you for adding the history of the places you visit! Makes your great videos even more enjoyable as well as educational! 😊
Hi Kurt my name is Ali, I'm from Vietnam and I've never been there, thanks to your videos I can see with my eyes my country from kilometres away, you're great for what you do, show the culture of every country spontaneous and genuine, as you live your travels are to be admired, continue so you are truly a person open to the whole world if you feel prejudice
Are there muslims in Vietnam?
@@apexchaotic7976 A small percentage
About 70.000 almost in the south In 15th Vietnam nowadays included Dai Viet in the north and Champa in the south Then the north expanded to south. Champa relied on Bramah( Hinduism) but after collapsing her offspring , the Cham ethnic was changed. Cham in the Central still kept traditional religion but ones who live in Southern now are Muslims
What part of China is Vietnam in
For example my mum is Buddhist and my dad Muslim
This is by far the best travel channel EVER. Pure Gold. Keep it up Kurt.
Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever been to. Truly magical.
As someone currently travelling in Vietnam this video was so funny but also inspiring. Kurt travels in the best way possible, just flinging his way into any situation he can.
dude i love kurt interaction with people, makes it way easier for me to ease the burden of how people mistreating each other, keep it up man, stay safe, much love
"You can take a dump and have a shower at the same time. Amazing technology they have here" I died 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
kurt the vietnam adventures have to have been my fav of yours so far. i like how you travel across the country on a bike. it allows me to see deep into the country rather than just the cities!
I love the little historical segments. Just brilliant content!
Kurt is such a likable guy. He gets invited to everything in every country, lol.
Thank you. I do it for the street
17:17 Handsome, you're handsome. Do you walk? Is that your motorbike?
21:27. Your country don't has this one.
26:06. The man translated what the woman said: She said I don't know English, I said nonsense
28:34. He said hotel, 5 star
32:54. Eat Phở? Where is your mobile phone (to show her what Kurt want)?
@PaTuyet Thank You...
5 years ago I spent a few weeks north of Hanoi in the mountains near the chinese border. The small villages and towns were some of the most welcoming people to foreigners. We would eat food, play games, and join in their community events completely naturally. The best meal I've ever had was when we were invited to a family's home and had about 15 different dishes. An absolutely amazing country!
Do you have any video footage?
Man. This guy makes friends everywhere he goes! God given talent
That wedding scene was hilarious. Keep the good work Kurt! You are the only one making long form of videos that I actually watch from the beginning to the end.
It is a religious ceremony call Hầu đồng in which the band play music and sing songs about the saint and cô đồng who wear colorful clothes dances to describe how the saint is At the extreme she may throw money note to the attendants and because Kurt come too early or lately so she gives him a lucky bag
Peak comedy tbh I haven’t laughed this hard at social misunderstandings while at the same time appreciated someone visiting Vietnam so much as Kurt made me felt watching this.
Despite not understanding their language, Vietnamese are very friendly and tidy ♥
This is the Quality Content i started to love this Channel for, and i'm happy to see it come back to the Roots. Greetings from Germany Kurt, stay safe ✌️
Vietnam is a beautiful country with wonderful, hard-working people and topnotch food! 🇻🇳
I think you can say that about all Asian countries..
I think we have around 50 thousand Vietnamese people living in Poland that are kind, hard working people who actually care enough to learn our incredibly difficult language ❤️ I’m glad you got to try the best food ever, while tickling my nostalgia vibes from few years back in Vietnam.
Yeah I 100% agree with you I live in orange county California we have the highest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and they are some of the nicest hardworking people ive seen.
yep the vietnamese here in alberta canada are great as well. the food is UNREAL
Hello, chef from Poland here. I can confirm, I used to work in a burger restaurant in Szczecin and one of the waitresses was Vietnamese. Her name was May. Super friendly, we always had a laugh during the shifts and during rush hours she worked hard. Best regards to you Vietnamese people from Poland. I hope that one day I will be lucky enough to visit your country!
@@JJMR3000welcome you to Vietnam, hope some day you can visit our lovely country, Vietnam is developing country but our culture is respecting the guest come to visit with warmly heart😊
@@HungTranLe-kp8up thanks, Poland is also a developing eastern Europe country. I understand the struggle and the hard work that needs to be put in it's development. All the best. Cảm ơn !
After this video, Vietnam is definitely on my list, not because of the country but because the people seem like very wonderful kind-hearted honest people. Love from an Algerian.
Agreed
The impressive thing is after being caught between two superpowers they didn't adopt a victim complex like Iran, etc. They built a good economy even with the eventual help of the US.
But they didn't really win the war against the US. The US left. They had signed a peace treaty with the US and when Nixon left office they broke the treaty and invaded the South. This was after US combat troops had been gone for more than a year. There were only around 1000 special forces advisors.
Your talking shit out of your ass Vietnam war you lost so much men and other asset in this war almost made US go bankrupt
@@RJT80stop coping lol
It's an amazing place, one of the most beautiful countries I've been to. And yes, you will find abundant hospitality 😊
Get a bike and travel the country, there's no better way to do it!

Thank you for coming and introducing us to Vietnam, we have always been a peace-loving and hospitable country. ❤❤❤
Thank you for another video 🙏🏾

I check your page every day to see if you’ve uploaded - I can’t explain why but your videos really make me feel good about life man! wishing you all the best Kurt!
Kurt definitely has a good mind set for travelling.
Been watching your channel for quite sometime! It's a very informative channel and inspired us to start our own!
great to see consistent uploads Kurt!
I wish someone can add subtitle to the people speaking Vietnamese, I really want to know what they are saying to you haha
Same lol
Hi, i m Vietnamese i can help translate some for you, the man with the big pipe Kurt met on the side street and later bought 2 sugar cane drinks after took a sip of raw cigaret from the giant pipe, he spoke a lot but i couldn't understand a word, i think he spoke Russian, he thought Kurt is Russian because there are many Russian live in VN. The restaurant with people were having dinner, the men also spoke a lot and the same as before I couldn't understand any of the words that they said.
@daoduytu first of all you can be proud being Vietnamese, very friendly people. Very welcoming even though there's that language barrier! amazing thing. Wouldn't be a thing here in Europe usually. The guy whom you were speaking of, I was also wondering what he said since he spoke all the time. I know Russian (non native speaker), the only Russian word I heard was Spacibo ) the rest didn't sound even slavic. )) maybe he was just very drunk/high/dialect speaking or whatever. Fun encounter though!
Someone did above check the top comments
@@daoduytu lol.. "I speak vietnamese, I can help.." proceeds to explain how they don't understand.
Holy shiznet. Kurt really got himself in it this time. Love to watch the random shenanigans. Absolute legend. Also: Wearing a WW2 - Vietnam Era American Helmet is crazy being white in Vietnam to me hahaha
After he ate the Pho, I thought that the men outside by the memorial plaque were eyeing him for his outfit.
The outfit is crazy lmao. Im sure the guy at that restaurant killed lots of dudes that looked like exactly like Kurt.
@@eazeazeaz probably lost a few friends and loved ones himself.
Kurt! I’ve made it, I have watched from your first video up until now. Enjoyed the travels in each video. Looking forward rolling with you thru Vietnam, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy the way you do but keep traveling. Cảm ơn! 🇺🇸
I work with a Vietnamese man and he's literally the chillest dude I've ever met. I love your content Kurt!
Welcome to Vietnam brother. I’ve been waiting for so long for this Vietnam series.
Whats the best part of living in vietnam?
@@Nico-Diaz the best city for living, i will choose Da Nang, the most beautiful nature of vietnam, i think that is NORTHWEST VIETNAM, and the most friendly people, that is mekong delta river area
I'm going to Vietnam for the 1st time in early 2025, I've travelled to so many far away countries but this will be my 1st time. 3 weeks from north to south. Send me your fav spots, I'm backpacking so all suggestions welcome. Been waiting for this one Kurt 🙌
@@gree4816 I went through NW Vietnam and it was so gorgeous I cant imagine a prettier place
@@lookingfordiscovery u can search it online brother , its includes all of the best place . but the most important things for tourist is that u can be scam for stupid price, so ask the local for information, with that problem u are all set to go. and have a beautifull trip to VN mate
It’s really inspiring Kurt to see you walking around everywhere, curious to find new stuff.
You are a good example of the mindset you gotta have to travel like this
One of the best videos you've done Kurt. I've always been fascinated with Vietnam and you showed it incredibly well. I do find it funny though that after all the traveling you've done, you never picked up any chop stick skills lol
nowhere treats a guest better than in the orient. great culture and friendliness. Love from Europe
Eating drinking smoking and hanging out. The Vietnamese life seems pretty chill to me. Stay safe General Caz!
The squashed fly had me laughing so hard. Took it so well, champion!
Me too😂😂😂
The whole country is incredible from top to bottom. Can definitely get some incredible content over a month or two

Your video showed me a snapshot of daily life in Vietnam in an interesting way only you can provide. Thank you for your conten. It is great and your free spirit is inspiring!
Really enjoyed this vid, and your openingness to do these things. You've gained yourself a subscriber
One of your best vids. Such awesome interactions.
Hands down the best content in the history of media. Thanks for sharing the ride man
I am from Texas. I went to Vietnam for the first time last August to visit family and go on a week long motorcycle tour. Beautiful country. Beautiful people. 10/10 would go back. Saigon, Mui Ne, Phan Rang, Da Lat (go see Laurence How at Moto.Laurie Cafe & Bistro), Cat Tien, and back to Saigon. I want to go back and explore Northern Vietnam next time.
It is more spectacular for bikers in Central & Northern Vietnam There are many place where the mountain reach the sea so you can ride a pass while viewing the waves In the north you can find the paddy fields of rice along a river/stream in a valley amongst mountains or terrain fields at middle to top of a hill especially at the time the rice is ripening or pass in rocky plateau Some name to recommend: Mộc châu, Phù yên/ Tà xùa, Mù căng chải/ Tú lệ, Sapa, Hoàng su phì, Hà giang loop, Thác bà, Ba bể, Tam đảo....Northern is richer for culture & tribal ethnic
@@tuananhtranhuu Thank you so much for that! I am looking forward to my next visit and will plan to include some of these.
i can back up that the ha giang loop is incredible
