Love Mexico as much as we do?! That’s exactly why we started our very own coffee company! Check out Con Todo Coffee for 100% Mexican coffee straight to your door! Here’s a link to learn more: contodocoffee.com
on our first of five trips to Vietnam the first thing I noticed was how friendly the people were! We have traveled to many places in Vietnam and it's the same every place we've been, just amazingly friendly people!
After being here for a year and a half because of the pandemic my wife and I sold everything we owned and moved to Hoi an Vietnam. It's the best decision we've ever made!
😅
All right decision. For me, everyday to eat banh mi+ cafe sữa
what an interesting place friend, I find the video very beautiful and relaxing, I liked walking with you 👍🏻
thank you! Thanks for coming along!
Thanks Greg and Halary, that you both are putting your efforts to make a such a good videos for us!
Apriciated !
Pho is literally one of the best international dishes you can have but try tendon beef! You are welcome
Wow! Viet Nam in peace time. Hanoi. I think of Jane Fonda during the Viet Nam war. Google it. Interesting. They called her Hanoi Jane. I think of the movie, Apocalypse Now.
The ppl and that culture appears to really enjoy Americans but tourism as a whole. Seemed soooo friendly.
The food looks soooo good. The Pho looked fabulous at the night market. The night club area you guys found is a rowdy place according to another RUclipsr who spent some time( a few hours in the wee hrs of the morning) reported the place got raided by their law enforcement. Lol. Full of fun and literal mischief. Just like any other place, Loved this video. Stay safe great video. Thanks for bringing us along!
God please don’t talk about these human beings as if they’re attractions. They’re humans. They just don’t live in a barbaric western individualistic society.
Welcome Both of you to Hanoi where I and my family are living at present years! Please eat the famous food in here such as pho, bun, etc and see several historical places here! Enjoy your trip with more clips of our capital city of Hanoi- the city of peace and green! I hope to see more clips from you!
I had so much fun watching y'all thru Mexico where I spend most of my solo slow travels and was SO sad when you left. But NOW...Vietnam... you made we want to go so badly that i promised myself I will by early January for my birthday and spend a month there and other SE Asia countries. You convinced me to give up my hard earned $5 and finally join ya!
aww LOVE THIS!!!
Again, another great video! We are really enjoying your travels beyond Mexico. I hope your other viewers are seeing that there is a big world beyond Mexico (where I happen to live). Thanks for having fun and taking us along. Instagram photo for sure of Greg sitting with his knees to his ears at that table! LOL!!! LOVE IT!
aww thank you so much Christine!
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Much love.
Thanks for sharing! Great video
You both r hilarious 😂 Great video.
My brother has spent years in Asia, though he still lives in Seattle. He loves Vietnam almost as much as he does Japan, where he lived for several years.
oh wow! That is awesome!
Hi
You’re both so full of excitement
Seems there were way more scooters when I was there. Traffic rules were just a suggestion, but you could safely cross busy streets and they just wove around you!
😂
Awesome first video of Vietnam guys!!!
Por fin me hicieron caso, Bienvenidos a Vietnam
wooo gooo gracias amigo!
What a hustling and bustling town of Hanoi. Thanks for taking us along on this incredible journey as well as your bucket list. You guys should have boarded the train through the downtown area.
You guys are So Much Fun
When I land in Hanoi I feel like I’m home!
Looks amazing and I love Vietnamese food :)
Vietnamese people are very interested in RUclips. You should do more Vietnamese subtitles, you will get a lot of fans. Wish you have an interesting experience about Vietnam.
love your videos. From Vietnam my friend!
been watching you guys for a while, never saw hill have that good of a first impression
awww!! I am SO excited to be in Vietnam. We have some incredible stories to be told :)
wow, now i'm really interested!
I agree....WALK on the moving sidewalk people! Love all the food coverage - Anne
Hope you enjoy your Vietnam trip.
Miss you from Thailand.
Awww!! We will be back some day!
Really interesting!
♥️ You guys had me cracking up on the translation of Hanoi 🏍🏍🤣
I just got back from Greece and tried being a RUclipsr 😑 FAILED! Had the camera in front of me and was like 😕 what do I say to myself 😳 🤣😅 I’ll keep trying though.
In the meantime, I’ll keep enjoying your videos. 🙌🏼
this is my first time watching you guys and love the energy that you guys exude. absolutely digging how open you guys are to everything. just a side note because you mentioned that you don't know much culturally about vietnam, vietnam was actually the only southeast asian country that was apart of the east asian sinosphere. meaning that the culture, if you must compare, is most similar to chinese. just wanted to note this bc i saw you guys comparing it to other southeast asian countries like thailand (who used to follow indian culture), so just a heads up there aren't much similarities between vn and the rest. happy touring!
Don’t be mean about Vietnam because I am from Vietnam
Love you both🥗
Great video ! I hope u will show us Da Nang & Saigon as well if u plan to go there.
soon!
Great to see Hillary's enthusiasm back! Other youtubers in VietNam loved it as well. I remember as a teenager seeing clips of the war, watching you guys visit there is good but kinda weird, lol. Looking forward to your next video! (The things you said you missed when in Thailand and like in VietNam sound like the things you loved in Mexico!)
Hi gringos!
Vietnam Anthony Bourdain style, right?
Awesome vídeo guys!
What's with all the sweat dude?
Is it really that hot or a lot of humidity?
Yes
haha yes. VERRRRY hot and VERRRRY humid :)
Cảm ơn bạn đã đến Việt Nam 🇻🇳❤❤❤
Don't miss Ha Long Bay cruise, Ninh Binh inland Ha Long, Hoi An ancient town and many other places.
thank you!
I’m definitely a “walk on moving sidewalks” person. 😊 I feel like I have a fast walking super power!
haha you are so right--it feels like we have a walking super power!
Love your travels in Mexico over the years, but I’m glad to see you guys exploring Southeast Asia. I’m Vietnamese American and I recommend finding a banh mi cart (pronounced more like baan me). It’s like a viet torta with French bread. Also try an iced coffee with condensed milk 👌 very strong, so maybe one to share at first.
gonna go there soon!!! which places you recommend ?
ohh thank you for this recommendation!
Buena suerte, en su estancia en Vietnam.
gracias!!
Good One
Agree on the moving sidewalks, and escalators to a lesser extent. It’s fun on those things try sprinting, it’s thrilling
Nice vid. My brother and his friend have been visiting there this week. You probably passed them on the street. Ha!
Doner Kebab in Vietnam? This might be the next stamp on my passport.
haha and we didn't even try it!! What are we missing?!
It is unbelievable but some people just have the luxury to just do nothing else than wait on a rolling sidewalk. 😆😜
Go to Sai Gon, Ho Chi Minh city you'll be surprised. Don't judge a place where you've been there for only less than 12 hours.
Los quiero, gringos! Saludos desde Cancun!
Hi there, I usually watch your videos a little bit at a time. (short attention span) This time I watched the entire video one time and smiled throughout the entire video. I visited Saigon in 2019 after watching Ken Burns' Vietnam stories on PBS. The motos scared the crap out of me. I felt like I was in a real life whack a mole game. I hope you get to Cambodia! Safe travels!
aww yay! Thank you for your comment!
@@kinetickennons I don't know the 2 of you personally but you make me Love you! I think I'm envious. I've been a serious traveler from age 61 to 66.5. Stuck happily now in Mérida. Keep on moving and living your best Lives!
Nice video
Woohoo! You are in Vietnam! Im super excited! I am very happy for you both! I can just see and feel your excitement. Proud of you Greg and Hillary ..you are living your best life! 🥰🥰PS I agree…it WRONG to stand on a moving walkway! lOL😂😂 walking is right 😂
woo hoo we are SO excited!!! (and overwhelmed and stressed! haha!)
And thank you for that---glad we're not the only ones who walk on those things! haha
Crucial tips for visiting Hanoi/Vietnam in general:
1. Ignore the wandering snack sellers (like donut). They will try to rip you off, you don't have to be friendly to them just ignore.
2. Keep your pace steady while crossing the street, only avoid cars, the scooters will drive around you as long as ur predictable in your move.
3. When eating noodle meals, the best way is to put some lemon/kumquat + vinegar +pepper and chilly sauce, garlic chilly mixture into the bowl and mix it up. Definitely elevate the meal.
4. Any service from an app or a street vendor with a brand would not rip you off, though those who wander around the street might. Those people even try to rip off Vietnamese tourists. Use grab app for transportation.
What you ate at 4:25 is kind of donut-type and the filling is a mung bean paste. It's probably not too sweet (to save the sugar for profit), and it's a kind of Asian dessert snack, so it's relatively healthy. At 8:12 it is a chili paste, a teaspoon of it is suitable for those who can't handle the spiciness. With Pho, you either use fresh chili or this sriracha. Making a living in VN is still a struggle for many, just like in Bangkok Thailand, or Mexico. The livelihood in VN still depends heavily on tourism. Scams do occur but I hope you guys understand.
100% about the moving sidewalks
Love your travels in Mexico ❤👍💪
With you on the moving sidewalks! Try Pho sate (or satay) . Its beef but comes with some spice and a bit more flavor in the broth than the basic one you got.
Going back to Vietnam in Feb. After many trips to Mexico, I have decided Vietnam is where I would like to retire. Philippines and Guatemala didn't feel safe. Plus I feel Vietnam is the cheapest of the countries I mentioned.
you accidentally pass by the wedding they will invite you to attend without asking anything hehe
I live in DC area & we hate it when tourists stand on both sides of the escalators. Stand to the right, walkers on the left. I abide by those same rules on moving sidewalks. As someone with knees from hell, I sometimes need to just stand...but to right of course. LoL
Taiwan has great streetfood, be sure to get an oyster omelet while there.
You guys should check out Saigon or Da Nang. You will fall in Love Promise 😉
Hillary you are so funny. Adorable. Did you guys cover the coffee there? Vietnamese coffee is big business. Have you guys ever seen "Legons of the Fall"? When Greg's hair was long I thought he looked like Tristin from that movie. Can you grow it back so everyone can see? Haha. Good video. Safe Travels.
oh COURSE you know we try lots of coffee during our time here!
03:30 she didn't know what you guys said and what she though that you guys were bargaining, she asked for $4 to $3 for 3 of each xD. Thanks for your respect!
Welcome to viet nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
In 317D im there!!!!
Interesting that the very first shot has a Turkish doner kebab restaurant in the background and then there is a McDonald's in the background of the French quarter.
I had to great laugh. not on the street for 5 minutes and you go hit with the doughnut scam. (most people do) LOL Please tell me you are going to rent a motorcycle and go on a road trip. Hope you guys get to spend some decent time in Vietnam. It has so many amazing places and experiences. But you have to really open up to it. It is my favorite country to travel too. Will be there for the 5th time in Dec. can't wait.
hahah---we totally got hit with the doughnut scam and fell for it! haha!!
I'm not sure about the meaning of Hanoi for "the city of motorbike (fyi: Ho Chi Minh city has way more motorbike than Hanoi), because "Ha" means water or river, and "Noi" means central or center.
I'm guessing you know Bangkok about 70% and VN about 5%. Regardless, welcome to Vietnam and have a great time.
if u think hanoi is that good mate. Try Saigon then. It will be the next level guys. Take my word for it
ill be back in thailand this coming January. Vietnam and Cambodia have always been on my bucket list. won't make it this time but someday I will. thanks for sharing your travels! PS I try to go to PV at least once a year also :)
Hey just watched your video. Being from Jalisco, Mexico I really enjoyed your videos from Mexico. We live in Iwakuni, Japan near Hiroshima. Japan opened up to tourism, so if you make it to Japan we will be glad to host you guys. I ran out of Con Todo Coffee, but I brought back some coffee from Ajijic last month. Órale!
My wife spoke to you and your husband today in MC.
Thai food is spicy but the food we had in Laos was literally fire.
I watched your video "Halong Bay, Vietnam 2018"
@@nguyentrinh1579 thanks for watching!
Would you mind telling us what it takes to travel in the countries you are visiting (documents). We would like to travel for a month from Puerto Morelos mexico. Thanks
Hey guys I'm from Vietnam and Where are you from?
Have you guys visited Malaysia/Singapore (colonized by the British) yet? What about Indonesia (colonized by the Dutch)?
not yet! We're just getting started :)
If you think Vietnam is wild and chaotic now, you should have seen it in the sixties and seventies.
Its scary in Vietnam .Im not going there..
Why? Where do you live? What problem did you have? You can share? I'll explain to you everything you're stuck on, okay?
việt nam rất thân thiện ẩn thực vừa ngon vừa rẻ vừa tươi chúc mừng các cháu dù lịch việt nam chúng tôi
Hell yeah!! Long live the socialist republic of wild and chaotic!!! 🇻🇳🎉🎊🎈🥳
Hey guys which did you prefer Thailand or Vietnam??
moving sidewalks, move for you. so you can rest your legs. If you're gonna walk just walk on the regular part? lol that's my logic...
Cái bánh đó 80k là quá đắc bạn đã lầm khi mua
Where you are now? They call it "The American War" which is what it should be called. Go Pho it !!
I hope you go to South Korea and Japan. ❤
Love your videos
Viet Nam is a nice compared to the 60s
Pet peeve for me as well….walk on the moving sidewalks. They are providing you a way to get people moving faster and ease congestion. Free riders defeat the purpose…ugh….lol
Đất Nước chúng tôi có thanh bình không thưa quí ngài ? ❤
Part of me would like to visit Vietnam but I experienced so much death and destruction, it makes it difficult for me.
It’s time for healing. Just go there and you will be healed coz the people over there don’t hold any grunts against any so called Western enemies
what are you talking about? U mean Viet cong?
pho is pronounced like an f fho
He said it correctly.
I’m half Japanese but cannot use chopsticks, despite the fact that everyone else in my family can. I have no patience when it’s time to grub. It’s time to eat, not learn!
hahah SO well said! Ain't nobody got time for learnin' haha!
Don’t feel bad…I am Mexican and don’t like Mexican salsa or anything that is too spicy…but I love tacos and any Mexican food
Hello how’re you doing?
I am Mexican and learned to use chopsticks when visiting a Corean Factory in Monterrey so I could blend better with the customer, they appreciated that, after that I started using chopsticks more often now up to the point I have them at home, I found I enjoy food more like that, since the portions you eat are smaller that way you enjoy flavor more. Yes I eat Mexican food using chopsticks 😂😂😂, l have visited several countries in Asia and to be honest is great not to have to ask for a fork while eating there !
@@jairlopez2124 pleas can we be friends?
Pretty cool but I still miss the Mexico adventures.
The food scares me 😱
haha yeah--it is all VERY different from what we're used to, but that's all part of the fun adventure!
I would like to see less self reflection and more of what you’re experiencing. Too much talkie…
Việt Nam chúng tôi luôn chào đón các bạn trên toàn thế giới. Cảm ơn các bạn Mexico
Hà Nội means "city between two rivers" in Vietnamese.
