Day 2 here , we did stay at the same hotel, the staffs are very nice and helpful.
My first trip to Hanoi was 2017 and I had to egg coffee I had to coconut coffee and I had the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk very strong my favorite coffee place was GiANG… I’ll be back in Vietnam July and August
We did go there! It'll be in the next video :)
I just booked my flights home to Hanoi for the first time in 4 years and I swear the past 3 days have been just me binge watching foreigners’ vlogs in Vietnam and gosh I cannot wait to get my hands on a bowl of bún chả again! It’s so nice to hear that you’ve enjoyed our hospitality :) can’t wait to see more !
That’s awesome!! Safe travels, your bun cha is waiting for you 🤣
Yo Same! LOL
Same here, been watching a lot of foreigners travel vlogs! So excited!!!
I have watched all Hanoi travel, food videos in anticipation of my trip on Friday. 3 mths planning. Cant wait. 😊
@crackeds hope you’ll have a great trip!
Road traffic in Vietnam, especially big cities like Hanoi and HCMC, is like an "organised" chaotic, in which you will witness / experience some sort of orderly in the midst of messy environment. Surprisingly, the locals told me most accidents occurred on highways than on the major roads in cities.
True...they are experts
👍👍❤️❤️🌻🌻
You cruise the streets in HCMC and Hanoi at the most 12 miles/hr. Most of the time in heavy traffic it is half that fast.
The traffic is both terrifying and exhilarating to drive in!! Happy Travels
I think Note secretly loves it.. no rules!
New Subscriber here. So glad to have found your channel. You guys are great together and enjoying your vlogs.
I have been watching a lot of Vietnam videos. I am seriously wanting to visit there for a month. It's my homeland, left in 1975 and have not been back.
Definitely come back to visit! So lively and so much good food 💕👍
Among the many RUclipsrs working on travel Volog in Vietnam, your Volog is very playful. Watching Volog, you always see excitement and joy from the two of you.
I also know there are many RUclipsrs who work on travel, but often complain and grumble about small details.
There are many cheap RUclipsr options, of course the quality will not be high.
For egg coffee, you should go to the original coffee shop named “ Giang” . This place made the first egg coffee in 1948. Ask the locals how to get there. Just ask “ Ca phê Giang”, They will show you. You have to walk into an alley to find it. It’s up two levels of the place.
We finally went there, it'll be in the next video :)
@@FloraandNote I went there too when I was in Hanoi with my parents. Enjoy Vietnam Flora 💗❤️ Happy to live vicariously thru you haha💗😂
So nice 👍 😊 The Soup looks so yummy 🤤. Top Video! Have a wonderful time in Vietnam 🇻🇳
Thanks so much!
Love this vlog format, pacing. You guys are great!
Hello!
I went to Vietnam in 1998-ish. Had not figured out the currency/ notes yet when I took a motorcycle taxi in Hanoi. Agreed on the price: 15000 dong. At the destination, I started to give the driver bills. I intended to give him 3 notes of 5000. I gave him one 50000, one more 50000 and was about to give him the last one. But he stopped me. He said it's enough, thank you and drove off. I was thinking he had quoted me a too high fare in the first place, and he was being honest 🙂. Half an hour later I realized my bummer... So instead of him getting 15000 he got 100000. 🤣🤣🤣 Hope he treated his whole family to a very fancy dinner🤑
Have a great day 🖖
Wow 15,000 can’t even buy a coffee here anymore 😅 We’ve been pretty lucky so far.. only overpaid for parking once haha
Howdie Heidi Hotvedt… you follow Flora & Note as well as Joel & Li? Kewl .. have a Blessed Week 🙏🙏
love your video! it reminds me of the fact that it's almost 10 years since i visited Vietnam in 2013! i miss everything there! go adventure those vibrant streets! cant wait to see more!
It's a sign to book your trip to Vietnam!
That Note Coffee shop looks so nice. Flora you should get you one of those Vietnamese dress. The traffic in Vietnam is so packed. Flora and Note I'm glad you both made it across the street safe. I'm looking forward to the next video.
We're pros at crossing the street now.. calm, relaxed and confident 😆
Oh how I miss Hanoi. I much prefer Hanoi than Ho Chi Minh. A charming city with lots of things one can do. If you get a chance go visit Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. My favourite place too stay each time when I am in Hanoi. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Hanoi.
So far we're also loving Hanoi! It's so clean, people are friendly and lots of great food :)
Thanks from Vietnam
i love that sofitel metropole hanoi, it is defintely a fine and beautiful hotel in the north with lot of history, however most of tourists or backpackers travelling to vietnanm (or south east asia) are often on a budget trip and wont go to this type of nice hotel, unfortunately; they will stay in low or mid range hotels, eat cheap/affordable food and so on.
@@andreandree4384 Thank you Andre, i was in the hospitality customer service industry over 40 yrs; retired as a bartender lol. So to ME as well, give me character, give me historical, and mostly give me wondrous service unsurpassed because they KNOW how to serve it🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 or 🌟🌟🌟🌟 is of GREAT VALUE to me with the price being less than and you’re upgraded because of your appreciation, and frankly my generous gratuity🙏🏻❤️
Please remember not everyone can afford to stay at Metropole hotel for 600€ a night like you. What do you mean cheap food? A bowl of Phở…
I am really happy to watch your video! You guys are such a lovely couple. As an English speaking tour guide, I haven’t worked with international tourists for more than 2 years since the outbreak. by watching this video, I am really delighted to see my people welcoming you in such a friendly and warm way. This really makes me miss my work. Happy travel and take care.
Thanks so much for watching! We've been meeting such friendly locals in Hanoi.. we're really enjoying our time in Vietnam :)
I accidentally discovered your video. I subscribed immediately to follow your adventures in my country. I am Vietnamese who lives in Canada 🇨🇦. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Have fun and stay safe !
Clip nào cũng nhai đi nhai lại câu này mãi
Loved it guys enjoying the new videos from Vietnam I have never been but looks awesome.
Looking forward to the next vid guys .
Stay safe my friends 🙏🙏🙏✌️
Thanks Richard! Hope you’ll enjoy our Vietnam series 💕😁
That was awesome the people seemed really cool! Hope you guys have a great time there!
Thanks so much! 💕😊
Good morning, Flora and Note.
As I previously mentioned, RUclips recently suggested your channel to me because I follow slow travelers, some of which have explored Southeast Asia this past year. I quickly jumped back to the future, to the beginning of your vlogging journey. Binge watching through the Covid lock down was something I, like millions of others, also did with other channels like "Kara and Nate" and "Sailing La Vagabonde". You no doubt have hundreds of favorable comments over the past nearly four years, and I can easily add to them. I will highly recommend your channel whenever I can.
Today I paused to write to you after watching your first Hanoi, Vietnam episode. I hope more people can see your older videos to live vicariously through you. I understand you were trapped in Koh Samui due to the pandemic. And there too you directly aided the community. The two of you have done a great service for tourism in the southern Thailand region with your explorations. Might I suggest you develop a longer, recap video(s) utilizing footage from those episodes that would put your channel and that region back in front of the eyes on RUclips and their algorithms.
As for me, my interests are travel, sailing - which I have never done, and food/cooking shows. But you won't see me eating bugs, strapped to a flying fan, or climbing a rickety old ladder to a tree house. I'd rather parachute out of a plane knowing the pain will last only an instant.
I'm building up my knowledge base and courage to retire in my early sixties and slow travel while I can still move. My children are around your age. Wouldn't be terrific if I could reverse the story and, like Note's dad did, come explore S.E. Asia with my adult kids. Here's another episode suggestion: As there are many like me who would have liked to have seen Note's dad in front of the camera to get his perspective on his visit, maybe you can do a video chat episode about his recollections on his visit. Just a thought.
Alright, enough from me. Back to Vietnam or wherever you are now.
Mike
Love the drink with coconut at Cộng Cafe! The decor is unique, also. Thanks for sharing!
Ive tried a few other places now but Cong Ca Phe still makes the best coconut coffee :)
love your energy smiles and laughter feel so much join in watching your vlogs they make my days so much better lots of love from Australia
Aww we're glad to hear that! Thanks for supporting our channel :)
You passed the test of walking across the street ! yayyyy! Congrats! I said a prayer for ya . :) Thanks for capturing Ha Noi. Excited to move back to this country soon!!!
What a cool place! That makes me wanna go and visit Vietnam 🇻🇳
Hanoi is so charming and super lively! We recommend starting here if you come to Vietnam :)
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Looking forward to visit Hà Nội & its foods one day!
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow... that Bun Cha looked so so SO GOOD!!! Enjoy 🤗
It's soo delicious, especially with all the fresh herbs!
So excited to watch your adventure in Vietnam..Enjoy your amazing life. Thanks for sharing…God bless!
Thanks so much! We're excited to share more :)
After watching A LOT.. and I do mean A LOT of vids on Vietnam from many vloger my wife and I get good vibes from you two in the way you describe your travels to the hotels you stay at. I see in Hanoi you stayed in the Old Quarter at a lovely hotel but we have decided to stay around the West Lake area as its a fair bit less hectic. ( Not so much BEEP...BEEPING!!!! ). And its only 15 mins. from Old Quarter. Thanks again for helping so many of your viewers understand how Vietnam works !!. Max. Australia. 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
Give Vietnamese Egg Coffee a try. You will love it.
Love your vlogs I am addicted!!!!
Hello Flora & Note. Thanks you for sharing and enjoy guys! Amazing! Great video! 👍❤🌹
Thanks Kitty! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
So glad to find your channel. Your videos are awesome.. keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! Happy you found us :)
Amazzziiinggg - great to see it vibrant & busy - nice editing - more plsss - thanks for sharing 😄👍👌🙏
Thanks ANT, we're working on the next one :)
Thanks guys for sharing the video 👍🏼👍🏼 beautiful 😍
Always enjoy your episodes. Another good one!
Thanks so much, Steve!
The two of you are very happy going out in Vietnam..good luck to you both
Thanks, we're really enjoying Vietnam!
It took awhile but I finally found your Names at the Note Coffee! Small thrills in life are awesome!
Haha that's awesome!! Love that cute coffee shop 😍
Like always, really interesting video with useful information. Thanks to share this with us!
Thanks so much for watching!
So happy to see you two there! We were there a few years ago. So much fun, we can see you are enjoying every minute of your adventure. Thanks for take us there! Can’t wait for your next video.🎉🎉👏👏👍👍
We love how lively Hanoi is! Thanks for watching :)
@@FloraandNote the first dish you two had was also the first food we tasted in Hanoi. But I do think Flora should walk a bit slower when crossing the street. It your first time there you will get to know the custom soon. Luckily my wife is a Vietnamese so she and her friends guided me around Vietnam. Enjoy, it will be a very exciting stay for you two. I got excited just by watching your video. Fantastic couple to be with!👍👍🥰🥰
Omg so exciting for both of you in HA Noi , enjoy, be careful for your phone & pick pocket in VM
Just love ....bloopers. Honestly🤭🤭 can't wait the next video. Thumb up👍
We’re also excited to share more of our adventures in Vietnam! Working on the next video now 😉
We loved the video you guys! Zae's favourite coffee was the coconut coffee as well. The Bun Cha looked very delicious and it looks like you guys had a great time in Vietnam.
Coconut coffee is the best! I'm going to miss it so much when we leave... might have to make it myself at home 😆
haha if you drink Vietnamese americano, you need to add a lot of sugar as our coffee is really much bitter and stronger than Thai coffee 😂 I would recommend you guys try "Vietnamese coffee & condensed milk" or "Egg Coffee" if you are in Hanoi - these are 2 most popular authentic types of Vietnamese coffee in Vietnam.
The coffe bean we use in Vietnam was Arabica or Robusta. So is easy to understand that the coffe we usually to drink was stronger than americano. But by the hand of some good bartender,the coffe won't be bitter but the price is the taste will be more stronger..
Ủa gặp chị cmt dạo nè
Awesome video! Love your video it is so entertaining to watch! Glad you love my motherland❤️!
We're having so much fun in Vietnam :)
Thank you, you guys are great tourism guide.
Thanks Eddie! Can’t wait to share more 😄
Don't know much abt Vietnam so will be looking fwd to all your videos there.
The traffic looks chaotic so stay safe.
Yes it is super chaotic! Hope you’ll enjoy the Vietnam series!
It does but trust and believe the same crazy traffic in Paris French and they got the right techniques.
One of the cutest couples I've ever seen. Welcome to Vietnam :D
You guys make us feel super excited to try northern Vietnamese food for the first time! Really enjoy your videos guys. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks so much! Have a great time in Vietnam 😃
Wow ! I So excited 😅
So cute! A note from Note to Note.
I can't wait to travel back to Vietnam and enjoy the food. I really love your videos. Great job!!
Thank you Kenny. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Your videography and editing are still MARVELOUS!!!
The bike guy (hotel?) is so handsome.
The ambiance is not that loud in the finished outcome.
👍 good, looks like a great city to explore
Yes, lots to do here! 😁💕
Wish you both have a lot of fun in your days in Vietnam 🇻🇳. Drive carefully guys
Thanks so much, we’ll be careful!
Hi, Flora y Note😍, buen vídeo!!!
That’s the nice thing about Asia - each culture is unique but all the countries are consistently good at cooking and everyone is friendly.
Haha that's very true 😆
Great Vlog guys! VN is a bucket list place for me so really going to enjoy your journey. Love notes sense of humour 😂😂😂
Thanks! Definitely add it to your list :) Hope you'll enjoy the videos to come.
@@FloraandNote - Looking forward to them 🥰
enjoy and hsppy flora
Thank you so much for sharing
Flora y Note, son demasiado simpáticos y adorables, me encantan sus videos🤩
I like your interaction between your two.and nice video.enjoy your journey.
Thanks so much!
Chúc hai bạn có chuyến du lịch vui vẻ
I just discovered your channel and love it. I am going to watch all your videos start with day one. I am also a Cantonese born in vietnam currently living in California.
Thank you! That makes us so happy :)
Thanks for loving Vietnam yes Vietnamese food is one of the healthier if not the healthiest food to eat with all the veggie on the side. Korean food is too I believe with all that side dish and grilling. I love Thai food but it can be heavy due to all the coconut paste (my favorite) they added.
Speaking of Korea, the young people in Hanoi seem to love K-Pop culture. So many dance competitions around Hoan Kiem Lake on the weekends. Everyone is having so much fun, it’s awesome to see!
omg, watching you guys review Bun Cha - one of my favourite foods makes me happy as well. Enjoy your time in Hanoi 🥰 i live in Hanoi too and i eat bun cha every weekend 😄
We could eat bun cha everyday 😂 so delicious!
Love this video! Can't wait for the next one
Thanks so much, you guys!
Cool we were at exactly that cafe. We had delicious freshly squeezed pomelo juice.
Note- please try the Bac Xiu coffee. It's a specialty of VN and I'm sure you will love it! I just got back from VN a few days ago and already miss it. Great video and much love from 🇺🇸
We just tried one and I loved it! 💕👍
@@FloraandNote I have of recomendation but far in the big city!. Its a a new tourist spot of vietnam
Smashing video guys. God bless! 😀

Hi Flora and Note. I hope you guys will also visit the Philippines for your next destination. Love from the Philippines! ❤🇵🇭
Love to wait for your next videos

Buncha is great. Watching you eat it made me hungry! I think I ate at the same restaurant . Enjoy!
Bun Cha is so good! We're lucky it's everywhere in Hanoi 😆

The puppet show is nice. Do not miss that 👍😊
Whoa, the bún chả looks amazingly good! We never miss that famous Hanoi dish whenever we are there!
So many delicious bun cha places in Hanoi. We keep finding better and better ones 😆
What. a coindence “Note Coffee Shop” - How neat with so many memorable notes from all the guests Many memorable, endearing notes from all the guests
It’s such a cool place. We loved reading all the messages there!
My wife is from Saigon and she is traveling to Hanoi. She entered this Coffe shop and on it wrote: I want to love a guy in Hanoi or in the North, then she left a personal page. Now we have a daughter. Haha. Lol :))
Great video, love hanoi
Thanks!

Lovely vlog! Hope you have a lovely time in Vietnam! :)
We’re loving so far! Thank you 🙏🏻💕
thanks you introduce my country for the world.have a good trip
Thanks so much 🫶
Wow Hanoi looks like the place to be ! Great job making me jealous that your both there ! Great Video !
Yea it's way livelier than we were expecting.. book your ticket!
Try a night street foods at "Kinh Moi" is a corner shop opposite a Chinese Temple. Nice Pho, friend noodle-/rice and many more local foods. It was safe eat at roadside or street in Hanoi. Hanoi people were friendly and you may seat with them to join their night drink along the street. One more dish recommend is Pan Fish Noodle. Beside the Iconic CHurch had many Coffee and Ice cream must try... enjoying seating small stood.
Thanks for all the recommendations Domny!
Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video về văn hóa Việt Nam rất ý nghĩa ❤❤❤ người Việt Nam chúng tôi luôn chào đón các bạn
wow so different from 28 years ago lol! Traffic is just as chaotic but 28 years ago it was Bicycles instead of motorcycles!
But I see the people are still friendly!
Yes the traditional dress is beautiful.
Great video 🙂🙏
The air would have been much cleaner then 😅
Oh Wow!!! you guys are so Brave to ride the motorbike in Vietnam!!! Just watching you guys, I'm already Terrify!!! Enjoy and be Safe ok!!!

13:34 local Vietnamese here, I have no idea about making noise while eating tradition or they just made it up. Vietnam doesn't have any specific rule while eating but the common sense. Anyway, hope you can enjoy your time being in Vietnam.
