I love Hanoi. The chaos of the city is rather endearing. It's French colonial connects are a very cool counterpoint to the rest of Asia. Really impressed how you've grown your channel so much. Congrats!
I love Hanoi! I love that you compare it to Paris, I found Da Lat sooo similar to Europe. Vietnam is such a diverse place. I loved your video, great job not dying while crossing the road! They are experts at not killing pedestrians 😅
I have to say out of the many RUclips travel channels i've watched yours has really stood out to me. The quality of your product, you're awesome voice over voice (yes i've already said before) its just all so professional, so much so that i could imagine watching you on TV. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Hanoi, the food looks amazing!!!
"I'm just trying to figure out what the sidewalks in Vietnam are actually for"--laughed at that one! loved the insert of humor with that one! I always enjoy your videos that highlight history and culture.
I have just got back from Hanoi and you have summed it up perfectly. I loved it and can't wait to go back again. One thing you forgot to mention was the people... I found them very friendly and so very helpful.
Haha so true about the pavements in Vietnam. Most people seemed to use them as motorbike parking. We never made it to Hanoi on our last trip but I've heard that some of the best food comes from there. The egg coffee looks delicious!
I love Hanoi! Makes me want to go back. I love the adrenaline when trying to cross the streets when I was there. It was very challenging. Oh and the Banh Mi!! It made me hungry. Lol.
Great video, loved the fast pace of shots, it matches the Hanoi style! Never thought that Hanoi looks like paris, but you can clearly see it in the architecture, very interesting! The rooftop looked very dreamy, thanks for the tips of escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. We will also definitely try the banh mi and the egg coffee once in Vietnam. Thanks for sharing!
I can definitely see why it reminds you of Paris. I can't wait to visit Vietnam. I've heard such good things! Those sunset views you got were beautiful. I'd love to sit on a rooftop bar and enjoy a sunset myself, but with a Bahn Mi lol!
Hanoi is one of my favourite cities and you captured it perfectly! You should've rented a motorbike to feel the full Hanoi experience though! I rode from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh and on the first day a crazy person jumped in front of my bike! He is still alive thankfully but I was really shook 😂
Loving this Vietnamese series Ryan. Learning a ton about a country I’ve always wanted to visit. Your narration is spot on, and love how you mix so many scenes in with what you’re talking about. Makes me feel like I’m right there. And honestly would’ve never guessed Hanoi would have such a French influence but totally makes sense after you pointed it out. Final thought, sign me up for one of those sandwiches and egg coffee right now please. Looks amazing. Thanks again for sharing. Just subbed , dan
It did sound crazy the comparison at the beginning, but you definitely succeeded in convincing me about the resemblance. You even made me desire that sandwich! Very interesting video, just like a documentary.
We miss Hanoi soso much! We are thinking to go back and live there for a while. I saw you have been to the Hanoi Social Club! One of our favourite cafes there! We loved your video, as usual! Can't wait for the next ones!
A few years ago my husband and I were in transit to New Zealand. We had a stopover in Taipei. Watching your video brought back the noise, smell, awesome people and lovely food. I loved seeing the views through your eyes.
We have to try that egg coffee! Malin has been to Vietnam unlike me but she didn't try the egg coffee but ate plenty of bahn mi. Great edit as always, buddy! Looking forward to the Vietnam series!
Great job at capturing Hanoi!! I miss the little sections Hanoi had...i.e.. the kitchen sink street..where everyone sold kitchen sinks...and the dish street, where they only sold dishes...not sure if that still exists there...one thing I didn't notice was that amazing coffee...and way to find the quiet spots on the roof tops! Look forward to the future adventures!
Thank you my friend! There is definitely still those sections - there was one selling hundreds of different types of lights: fairy light, work lamps, spotlights. It was awesome!
@@OneShotAdventures awesome. So fun. I remember a funeral area... and the lamps..oh yeah. Hope you are avoiding that heat wave that is hitting Europe right now.
Haha, this is the first time I've ever heard anyone compare it to Paris?! 😜 This is going to be blasphemous to some people, but I'll take a banh mi pate over any french pastry/bread/sandwich any day. I quite like crossing roads in Vietnam. I feel like I'm doing a tango with the motorbikes 💃
Really well done! Love the style of your videos. Hanoi does look pretty insane 😂😂😂 Food looks awesome...French-Vietnamese is some of our favorite eats! We’re looking at SE Asia for an upcoming trip…we’re leaning toward Vietnam over Thailand (maybe not quite as overrun with tourists?). Thanks for sharing!
The Near & Away Vietnam and Thailand are both very touristy if you go to the wrong places, but there are loads of less crowded/popular areas - I would recommend both!
Great list Ryan. I've never heard Hanoi compared to Paris, but loved hearing about the history of it all. Your sidewalk commentary made me laugh. I would love to visit here someday. I may need to take a girls trip, not sure my family would embrace the chaos ;p But...I would love to be a millionaire! :)
Wow, talk about culture shock being there... very different from what I'm used to! The chaos and motorcycle traffic and noise would all make for quite the experience! Some beautiful looking architecture though - and yummy looking food too!
yaaaaay for a new country in ur series hehe. but wow the streets are just filled hahaha. they literally do everything on the sidewalks. hahaha its so chaotic even crossing looks like a thrill. i was just in Paris (aka the video i added to the thread hahaha) and it kinda does have a vibe to it. ahhh banh mi, one of the many reasons why i want to visit Vietnam. omg Egg Coffee??? how cool haha. thanks for sharing! c/t
I have lived in Ho Chi Minh for more than 3 months but haven't visited Hanoi. Both the places are crazy when it comes to two-wheeler or the sidewalk cafes. But I really loved Vietnam, especially Vietnamese Coffee I am so addicted to it, though I haven't tried egg coffee. Like the way you have shown the contrast of city and the influence of French colony on it :)
Hello there, Mr. Genius Filmmaker...it is us, your favorite fans! 😃 I can see the French influence...it does look like Paris, but I think it looks even more like Bourbon Street in New Orleans. I do love me some Bahn Mi--would prefer to have it in Vietnam though! We LOLed when you were trying to cross the street. 😂 Nice to see the beard is coming back...or is it?? c/t
Cool shots. Love the comparisons between cultures. The more we look to see what connects up the less will try to tear each other down. I might need to reroute to Hanoi!!! Cheer Mate! Subscribe
nice take.. i like how you showed the street crossing ..you really struggle on that one... yes the coffees... i also like the egg ... but have you tried the coconut? i think its better.... been to hanoi early this year and i haven't made my video...i have a catching up to do...thanks for sharing
Always love your work! Great job on this one. My mouth was watering during the banh mi section and now I want to try the egg coffee. Great episode! -c/t
Those streets are meant for biking not walking. After childhood I never thought of consuming condensed milk again, but in Vietnam it goes very well with coffee.
I think it's everyone for themselves on the streets of Hanoi haha! I agree, not usually a fan of condensed milk either, but I like it with Vietnamese coffee
Nice and unique take on Hanoi having compared it to Paris which is rather unusual. And yes banh mi is everthing!! If you’d really like to see a “french city” in vietnam, you should see DaLat which up today the french influence is still very evident.
00:28 I didn't know scooters could drive backwards :p You are smashing it with your videos! Well documented and informative videos during your trips. How long are you still traveling for?
@@Svenywhere Oh man, I've never actually added it all up... I've filled up most of 3 4TB hard drives and at least 40 more videos to make... Lots of work to do! haha
@@OneShotAdventures I am sure you get through this. But respect. I already feel pressure when I come back from a 6 days trip and I have like 6/7 videos I want to make and it takes me a while to do it but I want to get it done. Can't imagine how big the pressure for you is to get the list down and every time have the good feeling of completing another video.
@@Svenywhere I won't lie, I do feel the pressure of the backlog sometimes. But as long as I'm still enjoying the process, it's still worth it in the end!
I had no idea about the French’s deep rooted history there. Thanks for sharing that! But those neighborhoods are so cool especially the one near the train track!
They were occupied by the French so. Anyways, many french influenced designs were destroyed after the war as the people tried to cleanse and retrieve the cultural identity of Viet Nam. However, you can see that not all was removed.
Uneducated like the most part of your country peoples... Vietnam is only one part of the much larger French Indochina which was a French colony for a century, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century.
Wow it's so busy, crazy busy but also vibrant!! I totally get what you mean about Paris though - the Egg coffee (which I've tried and not a fan) also yeah to being a millionaire for £30
Haha we came to the conclusion that in Vietnam (as well as a lot of SE Asia) pavements are for the weak! Haha! It's such a great city; you've captured it wonderfully and I like the style of your editing.
Hanoi doesn't look like Paris so much as it could look like a mishmash of other smaller French cities like Toulouse or Strasbourg. *If anywhere "looks like Paris", it would be more like Algiers (Alger).* Because while Vietnam has opera houses and grand hotels, it *lacks the Haussmann-style "boutique street corner" apartments or the Mansard roofs that are indicative of Paris.*
I think Paris is in the same situation. My friend got pick pocket in the middle of crowd under the metro station. That problem is everywhere but I think VN is safetier than Paris
OMG...OH MY GOODNESS... what a mess. 1. I Definitely see the French influence in the architecture. 2. Sorry, this doesn't remind me of the Paris I visited. Too many dirty buildings. What's the use of having a sidewalk if you cannot walk on it.
@@OneShotAdventures - 1. Thanks for the video. I understand it is survival of the fittest. 2. It popped up when I was looking for French Villa's being restored.
Hoan Kiem Lake means the Returned Sword Lake. The Legend goes: The Turtle Deity emergered from the lake asking the King to return the Sword that the Turtle God lent him to repel the Northern invaders, war over, peace now. Don't you notice, the police doen't carry gun. So, A Time To Love & A Time To Die. The KIng didn't die. LOL to the KIng. You survived from the rd crossing, You're deserved love, LOL
Hanoi looks more similar to Marseille, France with the narrow buildings found in some Marseille side streets. Definite French influence in the architecture.
i didnt like hanoi i got pickpocketed there back in 2009 my canon got stolen lost all my pics of northern india and vietnam. prefer the south ho chi minh up to sapa like your other vid
Ohhhh come on, how can you compare Hanoi to Paris? It's absolutely STUPID and nonsense.... 1st: Vietnam is not looking on France anymore but US; 2ndly: Vietnam is dirty, Paris is very clean. 3rd: Paris culture is not into coffee and sandwiches but wine, camembert and croissants. ... You haven't got any French culture... Go back to France and explore Paris, one of the most wonderful city in the world with more tourists than Vietnam+Thailand+Cambodia+Laos.
1st: Vietnam has a lot of French Colonial HISTORY, still seen in the architecture 2ndly: You clearly haven't been to Paris, it's not all "clean" 3rd: Ask any French person what they drink with their croissants you moron haha
have u even been to Paris? Trash everywhere, pee smell every corners. French do fancy their baguette and café au lait and also have strong influence in Vietnam from the past. Knowledge yourself!
Everyone who has been to Hanoi will immediately comment on the French influences. It stands out and is very obvious. He's not trying to say Hanoi is exactly like Paris, how you can be so retarded to think that? Do you even see any non tourist French people walking around in Hanoi? 😂
I think the way you talk about the place and the people was very disrespectful. The way you talk about the pavement and that they are a product of their environment you're not speaking about them with any respect.
What a stupid example 😂 That's only proof of Hanoi being a less visited/world famous destination than Paris. Travel Vloggers didn't create the blueprint for modern Hanoi: the French did.
That's because the Vietnamese didn't build Paris. Same thing with the Commonwealth countries, there are obviously tons of British influences but no one goes to Toronto or Sydney and says, wow, this reminds me of London. But you can go to London and see the origins of many things from their colonies from architecture to food to language.
In year 2000 i was in Paris. My first thing: WOW Paris looks like Hanoi!
good video ~gOOD!!~~^^

Sidewalks in Hanoi are for Hanoi lifestyle,whereever you come from your Sidewalks are for that citys lifestyle zoom ,zoom give me room !!
Bangkok side walks are the same !
It looks so cool - I love the blending of European and Asian culture! Not sure I'd be keen to try the egg coffee though. 😊
Haha it's definitely interesting...
really cool series. my favorite part of hanoi was pho 10, one of the best meals of my life to date!
Nice

Yes definitely! I recommend Bun Cha (Vietnamese meatballs)!
what's there to do around the area of hanoi apart from the city itself? did you take a cruise in ha long?
Loads to do! Check my video about Mai Chau, a very easy trip from Hanoi
Can’t wait to have a gazillion bahn mi’s! Haha
Wow it's so busy, crazy busy but also vibrant!! I totally get what you mean about Paris though - the Egg coffee (which I've tried and not a fan) also yeah to being a millionaire for £30
Egg coffee is definitely an acquired taste haha
Can anyone tell me where is that egg coffee shop? Or any recommendations please. I am panning to go back there in March and bring my family. Thanks
Most local coffee shops serve Egg Coffee, so it's not too hard to find! There's a tiny place on Tống Duy Tân that liked. It's near the Train Street.

Because the French colonised Vietnam long ago and that’s why the designs and food are all based in the French for example banh mi baguette etc

Hanoi looks more similar to Marseille, France with the narrow buildings found in some Marseille side streets. Definite French influence in the architecture.
Basically if China and French had a child
Nothing like Paris but like some areas of Bangkok. Well done again.
Nothing like Paris apart from the colonial history, french cathedrals, french buildings and french food ;)
Just a few, not all things Hanoi look likes Paris

Ohhhh come on, how can you compare Hanoi to Paris?
It's absolutely STUPID and nonsense....

Everyone who has been to Hanoi will immediately comment on the French influences. It stands out and is very obvious. He's not trying to say Hanoi is exactly like Paris, how you can be so retarded to think that? Do you even see any non tourist French people walking around in Hanoi? 😂
I think the way you talk about the place and the people was very disrespectful. The way you talk about the pavement and that they are a product of their environment you're not speaking about them with any respect.
Grow up
@@OneShotAdventures touchy iust be respectful about other places that's all.
@@momokoraphaelishida I said nothing disrespectful.
Love Hanoi, but really, it’s not like Paris. That’s just a travel vloggers conceit. Proof: Who ever says “Wow, Paris! It looks just like Hanoi.”
What a stupid example 😂 That's only proof of Hanoi being a less visited/world famous destination than Paris. Travel Vloggers didn't create the blueprint for modern Hanoi: the French did.
That's because the Vietnamese didn't build Paris. Same thing with the Commonwealth countries, there are obviously tons of British influences but no one goes to Toronto or Sydney and says, wow, this reminds me of London. But you can go to London and see the origins of many things from their colonies from architecture to food to language.
