I live in D2 Thao Dien and I'm American, just I moved here in late April. Yes, Thao Dien is self contained and easy to access the Vincom mall and Mega Market. Many foreigners are here goto school at the many western international schools so their family and kids also attend and many western girls are teachers. The Pendalasco pizzeria is a delivery hub for many of the TD pizzerias like 4Pizza, Angelo's, Frescos and Pendalasco. As you showed many restaurants cater to western tastes and inwas surprised at the quality of the Mexican taquarias and Mexican cuisine.
That's one of the few surrounding districts we didn't even consider living in, and the main reason among others is its considerable distance from the center. It's nice to visit though once in a while because of the western amenities. It's also where I found a reputable agency to process my TRC, and the Pet clinic from where I initially fostered my two cats and eventually adopted. I'm guessing it was pretty cool, but at the same time surreal, to meet a subscriber while actually filming. Lots of especially interesting info. In this video👍
I don’t get it…most westerners move to southeast countries for cheaper of living…but move to an expat areas to eat the same type of food from their home countries which probably cost more in Vietnam than their home countries
I agree, as a walker District 2 especially around Xa Lo Ha Noi is not a good place to walk around, but in the future Thu Thiem area which is in District 2 would be a nice place to walk. There will be a second Pedestrian Zone after Nguyen Hue in dist 1 which will be twice bigger, also there will be many fun stuff to see like the park in the middle of Thu Thiem or some opera house I guess
You always crack me up when you say you'll give the old guys the benefit of the doubt and assume the young woman he is with is his daughter. 😂 I enjoy your videos. I am half Vietnamese and spent a summer there as a tween. I am planning to come back. Maybe even live there part of the year. Your videos have been very helpful.
@@fatandbroke yeah I heard 7 days, but what’s the point of the vaccine and the 72 hour testing?! These authoritarians make no sense. Thanks for the confirmation bro.
"You can't fight City Hall" especially in countries like Vietnam. If you want to come over soon, that's what you'll have to do. Plus, the predominant reason is, even fully vaxxed you can still be a carrier and infect someone.
Buddy Good content from one fat guy to another also living with an Asian bride here in OZ, and I miss my Asia travel hoping to change that soon.? Keep up the good Vlogs mate. PS: please please loose the Huge side burns, Catch you soon my friend JD
Congratulations on the 2M views Chris which seems huge to me. Is D2 prone to flooding. Last time I was there my impression was topographically it was low, and with the river right there, was just wondering. Thanks
You should have interview that guy, oh by the way, motoGP is a million times better than F1 Chris, D2 is very nice, gotta visit next time I'm in Vietnam 🇻🇳
@@fatandbroke I'm a biker guy so I've tried to watch the F1 one but didn't like it at all and pretty much every other form of car racing, I guess every one is different and that's ok. I love you walking 🚶♂️ video though, it's easy to see everything than if you are on a motorcycle.
Better wetter today.... its always better wetter thats what she said........ Can't wait to get back to nam to study vietnamese. Any news on other cities opening to tourism?
They really let the side walks rotten and decays in SG eh ? after all those years nothing has changed much in terms of infrastructure except for having more small private businesses like new shops and restaurants but aside from that sidewalks in this city looks like in a state of emergency.
I don’t always take the time to comment anymore, but your natural honesty is always what keeps these videos fresh and extra enjoyable to watch.
Cam on em

Thanks bro
Thank you for sharing your video of Sai Gon my home town. Missed for 2 years.
Mate 2m views is awesome and well deserved. All about the final F1 race this Sunday come on Hammie :)
Gday from Australia love your work!! Can’t wait to go to Vietnam hopefully the end of February

I think a separate cost-of-living video dedicated to D2 might be needed :)

Also there will be a walking bridge go from Dist 1 to Thu Thiem. How cool is that

Hi Chris,are vietnamese citizens allowed to travel in Europe at the moment? Btw great content as always, cheers from Germany

Chris, I like your style the best. The others have too much extraneous stuff.
