    Vietnamese coffee is the best. I loved Hanoi so much. You brought back some very happy memories of eating at that restaurant followed by the egg coffee. I followed my travels through to Cambodia too, Bangkok then Penang. Enjoying watching your family adventures from Australia

      True! Vietnam has been through hell of wars for 1000 years against China, 100 years against French and 20 years against the Americans and in the end Vietnam won all wars and managed to defend their land and declared their independence. The Vietnamese are very very PATRIOTIC and they love their country very much. It's best to avoid saying anything that can offend them or their country. I've visited Vietnam 3 times and loved the Vietnamese people, very welcoming warmhearted people.

    I think the more Wat travels the more confidence he will gain. I think he enjoyed the trip and is growing as a person. He does not like being outside his comfort zone though but hopefully he will enjoy travel and different cultures the more he does it

    It's hard to travel and eat different cuisine if you're not use to it but the experiences and memories are priceless. I'm glad more of your family goes with you Lilly. I feel Luke is a lot like you. He's a traveler and is not afraid to try a lot of different food before he decides if he likes it or not. Leon is so cute. I'm sure as he gets bigger he will be more advantageous too. I also think Wat needs to go at his own pace but he is doing great. Awesome video of your travels.

Luke is adorable and ready for anything. Vietnam seems pretty fast paced!

    I’ve been away from your channel for a while and boy howdy you’re going gang busters now. The content and the editing is just so much improved. I love seeing Wat smile and how the boys have grown. I’m also wondering if Leon has just a little sensory sensitivity. Maybe headphones for him would help with the auditory over-stimulation in Vietnam. Love to all. ❤
