Came back from Cambodia and Vietnam trip 2 days ago. Spent 8 days in Hanoi and Sapa. Recognize all the spots on your video, you right, it’s one of the cheapest cities. Loved it in there. Can’t wait to go back.
Bánh mì was first created in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City! The baguette was first introduced to Vietnam in the 1850s. It was initially a luxury as imported wheat was expensive. But when WWI came around, because of the presence of many French soldiers, local bakers were motivated to use inexpensive rice flour to bake bread, which allowed baguettes to become a staple for the locals. Though the sandwich didn't become a thing until the 1950s when Vietnam was partitioned between North and South, and a million people from the north moved to the south. Two of these Northern immigrants, Lê Minh Ngọc and Nguyễn Thị Tịnh, are credited with opening a small bakery in Saigon that became the first bánh mì shop. It quickly spread. Our countries have had bilateral relations since January 1950. I got to visit Hanoi back in 2019 as part of a big train trip that included a stop in Beijing. I had an absolute blast in Vietnam and I can't wait to visit again eventually.
I've been to Vietnam once and I found that the made-in-Vietnam baguette is so nice that you can eat it on its own, better than any French loaves that I've tasted and those at Subway and Delifrance.
Thank you for making a video on vietnam! I love when I get to watch videos about my culture, I actually just got back from Vietnam 3 days ago! It took 19 hours
Not all Vietnamese are short, but having small seats are easy to put away and don't take up space. Secondly, it helps open the hips like squatting. You rarely see people with back pains in Vietnam. It
Great video Drew! I was struggling to find some of the restaurants you mentioned on google maps. I would like to save them so I can check them out one day. Do you have how to spell the names?

That St. Joseph's Cathedral was actually one of the first structures built by the French Indochina government! The French conquered Hanoi in 1873, but a decade passed until they got full control of the city due to insurgencies. Once they got full control, that's when they decided to build it, basing off the Notre Dame for pure symbolism of the then new owners of Vietnam. After the Geneva Accords in 1954, priests were arrested, and that specific church would remain closed until Christmas Eve 1990 when Mass was finally permitted It has nothing to do with height when it comes to the chairs! While the older generations had a high stunting rate, that's not true today. For pop-up restaurants, having these chairs make sense because they can be quickly deployed, quickly stacked-up, easily moved-around, and easily stored. But another factor is economic history! Between unification in 1976 and reforms in 1986, there were no private businesses. People needed to do black-market side-hustles in order to survive. Because it was illegal to build a business and accumulate wealth, there was no incentive to raise funds and build a capital stock of large furniture. Thus, having these small chairs and tables were the solution. The Vietnamese people learned to be small and nimble, to serve and work-hard instead of taking risks.
your knowledge is really amazing but as a Hanoian I want to add some further information: The Notre Dame was built on the base of one of the biggest temples in Hanoi, as The French destroyed it in the dream of converting the religion in Vietnam. The small tower called "Hoa Phong" which is opposite the Hanoi post office is the sole remaining architecture from this temple. Nowadays the road leading to that church is called "Church Street", but ridiculously that the head of Hanoi Buddhists stays there, with a petty entrance that can be easily neglected by both tourists and locals.
Người Pháp đã phá hủy một ngôi chùa có lịch sử 1000 năm và xây nhà thờ trên nền ngôi chùa đó. Với người Vietnam đó là sự xâm lược về tôn giáo nghiêm trọng. Rất hài hước là người phương Tây luôn nói về tự do tôn giáo. Nhưng họ sử dụng tôn giáo như một công cụ để xâm lược thuộc địa. Chúng tôi không bao giờ quên lịch sử của dân tộc
Tip for crossing street in Vietnam: Many tourist foreigners scared of traffic in VN . Don’t worry about it! The rule to win this fear is keep routin slowly walking when you across the streams of motobike! -motobykers knows how to avoid you themself in chaos-order! remmember do not run and stop suddently , accident immidiatly ! Don’t be affraid off and do it if you want to be safety in the crazy- rule traffic in Vietnam.
70k for the donut ball dessert is quiet a lot. When you think about it, it cost more than Banh Mi. We bought a couple of those for no more than 15k vnd.
90 bucks for a few pleasantries is quite a lot, though. Obviously, you're not gonna hit a nail salon every day, but, aside from the hotel room, you guys spent like 50 dollars on snacks (mind you, I eat a lot lol) in an apparently cheap country. But then again that was for 2 people.
Can't wait to go back after spending 1 month there back in October. It's been on top of my list ever since. I agree when you say that Hanoi is just organized chaos and it has some beauty to it. And pho is hands down the best soup on the planet.
So, I’m heading back to the Philippines to visit my husband and I’m thinking about visiting Hanoi for a few days but I am concerned about the bathroom issue (because of food poisoning). How hard is it to find a bathroom in Hanoi if you gotta “go”? Also, what’s the best way to exchange money when we get there? I am thinking of a 2-3 day trip
it really shows you how inflation is out of control in america and other countries here in the states you can stay at a decent hotel for less than 100 dollars
Hồ Chí Minh có gì 😢 Hồ Chí Minh chỉ là một thành phố trẻ năng động. Tất cả món ăn nổi tiếng đều đến từ Hà Nội chứ không phải Sài Gòn. Ẩm thực đường phố thì Hà Nội mới là Thiên Đường Ẩm Thực. Người Sài Gòn còn trả có gì nổi tiếng

Thank you for the interesting video. Out of curiosity, did the streets get the names because the shops grouped together there, or were the shops ordered to be there?
i was told that the shops grouped together, people named the street after the product, it got so popular that the government decided to keep their names
That area is the old quarter in Hanoi downtown. And streets in this old quarter were named after the specific products sold by those shops. Ex: Leather street, Silver street, Metal street, Paper street, Ceramic street, Bamboo street, and other million kind of stuff.
@@foxwithuke_ Depending on what area or district you're in. If you're in area like where Vinhomes is or near landmark 81 expect to see millions of dollars real estate because that's where most of the wealthy Vietnamese upper class settle down. But if you're in district 4 expect to see homeless and slums. It's kinda like New York City where most rich people live in Manhattan and the poor live in the ghettos in the Bronx.
@@vietnamemperor123461 I don't know which area I've been in but there were just a lot of people selling food on the streets for cheap, I did see many homeless ( some disabled ) people though
The food there is so good and im also from vietnam nuoc dua is a typa of cool water and nuoc mia, nuoc mia is a special water and it made out of sugar canes, but if u went there u need to try nuoc mia and meet bac ho
fact: bánh mì phố cổ is one of the overrated bánh mì in hanoi,or Vn, as a big fan of bánh mì, this is terrible banh mi, if you wanna eat the best banh mi, so go to HCM city, the city of banh mi

Thank you!
Drew, tell your editor that they make too many cuts...

Lmao the video looks fine, y’all are just some l🐱’s 😂😂

Great video Drew! I was struggling to find some of the restaurants you mentioned on google maps. I would like to save them so I can check them out one day. Do you have how to spell the names?
Vietnam is unique. Always loved the vibe of Vietnam.
❤❤
Drew Hi David from Santiago Chile. I know people who worked in Hanoi and they tell me it is a fantastic city. Cheers for the video. Good luck to you
thanks for the tour drew! 😊👍
Sorry to hear about food poisoning.. Street food isn't what it used to be, I'd avoid it now. Come to Vung Tau and see how things can be set up here.

I know you did a $100 challenge in Indonesia, but you should try doing so in Jakarta. I’d love to see how cheap my hometown is 😂
I'm 100% Vietnamese
so I can confirm all of the food and souvenirs are amazing!
Wow welcome to vietnam,and i'm vietnamese looking forward to pinning comments :))
Awesome 💯
The traffic can be Hanoi-ing 😂
Coconut is so cheap in Vn. It is 1 usd in my city Danang

Hi bro
I like your video.
If you have a chance go visit Central (Huế)
Very nice and chip.
Enjoy a trip in Vietnam.
Hue is great for food and coffee!
in that market, they have adides, Nikel, Puuuma, Balenciuga :)))
When you gonna be in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon?
Can anyone help me find the banh mi place he mentioned. Cannot find it at all on maps
I need to live in Vietnam!
Vietnam!
Wow….all that and less than $100. ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you.
what’s the name of your hotel? planning to go to vietnam
i could go for a banh mi now

$100 gets so much in Vietnam even after the scammers take their cut
Definitely more expensive than Buôn ma Thuột, Đăk Lăk
Looking at you sleeping at the nail salon, you look like all the married men in Vietnam. We had to wait 8 hours for my wife to get her hair done
at 12:03, you can't just skip the parts of those pretty dancing ladies. Lol.
Vietnam is not cheap at least in the south where Ho Chi Minh City is.
Huh? I went to ho Cho minh last year and the food was still cheap?

Drew in Hanoi in 1980: at least 80% of the insects in my dish are edible.
Everybody love pho but not alot of them like it there also banh mi and banh bao that my fav food
The food there is so good and im also from vietnam nuoc dua is a typa of cool water and nuoc mia, nuoc mia is a special water and it made out of sugar canes, but if u went there u need to try nuoc mia and meet bac ho
But he os dead so respect him respect his pictures and his kid.
wooow looks beautiful
Nice
Im Vietnamese 🙃
Great
i wonder what food gave food poisoning
Why the Indian theme at beginning of video, sounds so off the vibe.
With $100, best you can spend for is PHÒ, better and juicier than PHỞ. Goodluck. 😂😂😂
Nanyue and Minyue Tribes. Vietnam is the Nanyue and Phil. is the Minyue
fact: bánh mì phố cổ is one of the overrated bánh mì in hanoi,or Vn, as a big fan of bánh mì, this is terrible banh mi, if you wanna eat the best banh mi, so go to HCM city, the city of banh mi
Saigon
Damm so cheap. Herr in US u go to Jimmy Johns ans u pay for 1 sandwich around $12
Vietnam $2
VN so cheap that $100 usd to spend is not a challenge.😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I haven’t been back since 45 years
😍
Banh mi in Vietnam is only 2$ for 2 pieces, I think you are being too generous haha
Drunk on coffee
So, basically, it's an egg nog with a little coffee flavoring?
Wouldn’t say so. Egg nog got that cinnamony flavor. Best I can describe it is flan flavored coffee.
🇻🇳❤ 🇧🇩
Ẩm thực Việt nam quá ngon
U need 2 ppl to spend $100, that’s super cheaper xD
Các bạn vào Đà Nẵng thanh phố hồ chí minh nhé
Yup, Ho Chi Minh is the real Vietnam
