    I was impressed by Eoin's foot badminton skills - he picked it up immediately and looked like a pro within seconds! That's what is nice about Asia, constant random interactions with people and constant new adventures everywhere.

    You guys seem like such a lovely couple. I hope you guys have some time to explore the country and it would be best to travel from South to North as the topography, the culture and the scenery will become more spectacular to give you a distinct impression before you leave the country. If you do plan to rent scooters, just stay the hell away from buses and trucks, they're maniacs and reckless as they're on the clock so don't mess with them. When you ride scooters in the city, ride slowly, that's the best advise I can give you after having lived and worked there for 10 years. Don't mistake my suggestions as discouragement because I miss riding scooters in VN like you wouldn't believe. It's the best feeling of freedom I have ever experienced. Take care and I look forward to seeing more of your VN videos.

      Aw thank you so much for this! We definitely plan on renting scooters but want to wait until we are outside the big cities, get used to the Vietnam roads/ traffic and take it from there but you have not discouraged us don't worry. This is all very helpful! Can't wait to share more Vietnam videos with you!!
