      @Rebecca Matthews Saigon is the preferred name by many ok

      Just for clarification, on April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese troops captured Saigon, and the city was subsequently renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

    ***THIS TRIP WAS FROM 27TH DECEMBER 2019 TO 8TH FEBRUARY 2020***
    Just thought I’d put that here, even though the date is shown in the video and I go to an NYE party, there’s still gonna be some muppets making inevitable comments of “can’t believe you travelled during lockdown”.
    This was several weeks before any lockdowns happened (other than in China).
    ANYWAY, hope everybody enjoyed the first episode! Each one from this series is a little bit different, so I’m looking forward to everyone seeing the complete story.
    Next episode is out Friday 12th June, final episode is out Friday 19th June

      Nice try man, you clearly went last month and put old scenes in there to make it look like you were there for new years last year. They don't call you Karl "Kubrick" Watson for a reason. He faked the moon landing and you faked this.

    I did a similar journey last year! I was studying in Singapore and went to Vietnam with some friends I made. We went from Saigon to Mui Ne, Mui Ne to Dalat, and then finally Dalat to Nha Trang. Vietnam is so underrated :) As is all of Asia.
    Many people (Westerners specifically) see these countries as "playgrounds" for tourism when they are definitely not. They deserve more respect and I'm glad you give it a good perception :D I'm not Vietnamese, I just like the country haha

    I'm Vietnamese, and obviously, I love my country very much as well as all things belong to it including people, beauty, and cuisine. When you travel to Vietnam, not only you have chances to discover the magnificent landscapes, human hospitality, but also you can try a lot of appetizing food which is incredibly cheap. I'm really into your video and thanks for introducing my country to friends all over the world so that they can know solidly about my country. Welcome to Vietnam.

    This is amazing! I love the honest content as well as the post-production. I spent a month backpacking in Vietnam (the last country I visited) and only saw a fraction of what the country has to offer. After backpacking through Laos, Malaysia, and Indonesia for months, I got burnt out, but the travelers I had met along the way highly recommended Vietnam and the Ha Giang Loop. So, two days before I was supposed to return to the US, I decided to extend my trip for a month and explore Vietnam from South to North. Can't wait to see the episode that includes the Ha Giang Loop. I wiped out on my motorbike (not an automatic scooter) winding around gravelly road along an area of road construction on Day 2 and have scars and a bit of PTSD still, ha. I will have to check out your other content!

    Fantastic work Karl, I have been to Vietnam twice and had to cancel our third trip because of Covid 😔 watching this is bringing back so many wonderful memories.
    Travel tip for those thinking of doing the Mekong tour and Cu Chi tunnel's , hire a prive tour guide and driver for the day, it's wasn't that expensive, I think our car and driver was only about $80 AUD. It is worth every cent and you could split the costs with 3 other people to make it cheaper, you can change where you want to go, there is no real set plan so much more flexible than being on a crowded tour bus. We always visit in May as it's very quiet at that time of year, yes you will get rain pretty much every evening around 4pm but we love that! There are plenty of good legit tour guide's around and they will find you a driver, you just need to ask. Our guide has become a great friend and we now visit his family when we go. Happy travelling everyone 😊

    As a Vietnamese watching a foreigner's travel experience, I'm so proud of Vietnam, especially about the war and the way you guys see us as guerrilla fighters. I have watched several videos from other foreigner RUclipsrs traveling in Vietnam, but I can say you probably are the best. I'm living abroad right now and your video really made sense for me during this time when I am stuck here and can't come back to visit my motherland. Thank you very much for taking the come back trip to make a proper visit to Vietnam that you shared at the beginning of the video. That is the right decision ever for us, at least for you and for me :)
    Btw, at 9:48, I know they were trying to connect with foreigners, but it's so funny LOL. The combination itself is good, but look at her face, she's serious. I was a bit of shame during watching that moment.

    Hi Karl, I spent almost 3 months in Saigon which I really loved one of the best trips ever. was in Da lat for 4 day and Na Trang friends had to be back to work on Monday. The people were so wonderful and gracious. The food was amazing and the Center Square at night. I'm planning to move to Da Nang after travel/visas are available. Friends and family could not believe I would leave the US for VN.

    I keep my expectations low for the 'hotspot country' vlogs, but you have done this one so well! With James or a group it is almost a given that the videos can't be flat, but achieving that as a solo backpacker is brilliant. Your storytelling with motion pictures was always top notch, but you've truly raised the bar again. Eagerly waiting for the second episode. Thank you!

    I’m leaving to travel again for the first time in 5 years and Vietnam is where I’m starting. I’ve been there for two 3 month motor bike trips prior and it’s crazy seeing all the places I’ve seen through someone else’s eyes

    So Awesome watching you again dude. I remember watching you and your friend travel in 2013. You were one of the first travelers I followed and eventually led to me traveling myself. I was just in Vietnam around the same time you were and made a few videos. Thank you for making this awesome video and reminding me how amazing Vietnam is!

    I loved how you described Nha Trang, I was there last year and described it almost the same way, it is a very boring city in comparison to Ho Chi Minh City

      Yeah i was there 2010. Hated the place, and that was before the russians. A bit frustrating to read about it on tripadvisor and it kinda seems like the best place in vietnam.

    Just watched the MeKong Delta portion of the video, such good honest, genuine feedback... already I can trust you for an honest assessment for what's to come later in the tour! Can't wait till your mind blown with what the North has to offer

    Fauzi was my guide for the very same tour back in 2017. Glad that he is still with the same company doing what he does best.

    So many memories. Did pretty much the same last year. But I have to disagree on one thing: those rice fields did not look uber green at all to me (dry season) haha Go during the rainy season and it is so bright green that it is literally blinding you.
    Great job
