Mountain Rat Dinner Vietnam 🇻🇳

- ■ SA PA, VIETNAM: When I visited Sa Pa during June to live on a Hmong farm, they told me intriguing stories of how cold it could get up there during winter. As a huge fan of cold winter months I thought experiencing that in a southeast Asian country warranted another visit.
I didn't tell Mama Zee I was coming though. Luckily she had plans for a grand Christmas feast that day. Her husband had been out hunting rats high in the mountains the day before. He'd caught a batch of 4 rare ones that are too elusive to catch during the warmer months when their food is abundant.
Since this is his favorite meat, this rat BBQ was going to be a special occasion. Lucky for me this was the very day I came on my surprise visit.

Please remember she cannot read so voice message is the way to communicate. Also she told me some of you have sent her a message on instagram and when she sees it a day or two later and responds, she gets a reply saying 'sorry you didn't answer within 15 minutes so now we have left Sa Pa or went somewhere else'.
Please understand this is not some normal hotel but a real family with a busy schedule. So reach out many days in advance of you going to Sa Pa if you want to visit, eat or stay here.

Happy to see you again Mr. Harald in Mama Zee place. And out of 1 to 10 how's the taste of winter rattatue?😅😂😂😂
It is not hygienic to sleep in a bed where other people slept while inheriting the same unwashed blankets.
Eating rats is despicable.
Going to visit someone unannounced and stay for the night if they are not your first degree relatives is not done.
They are polite not to tell you upfront, but use some common sense.
How can they be happy and suprised to see you, when they don't even recognize who you are.
Don't think like a westerner.
Use some common sense.
Thank you as always for taking us with you on your travels. You are one of the reasons I watch RUclips. Ignore the people that want only happy videos. You are popular, because you are authentic.
30! Woowzer!
🙏🏻
been following him since 2017-18 hes the best on to do it! and bald
Mama Zee and her husband are a wonderful example of how you don't need much in life to be happy. Their deep inner contentment and their positive charisma are admirable. ❤
By the way...I just ordered the rum that you brought as a gift. The description made me curious. 🥃
Theyre so wonderful that they dont let Harald sleep at their house, he was damn drunk
But they in fact do have everything in life. A house they built themselves, land to grow crops and raise animals, beautiful surroundings and surrounded by family close by. They are far better off than most of us in the West
@@HapigeonChannel "Theyre so wonderful that they dont let Harald sleep at their house"
- They told me to stay countless times but I didn't as I had an appointment to go see how Lily's mom makes clothes the next day in the city at 12:00. So had to check out from hotel and be ready for that so decided to not stay the night. Why comment on something you know nothing about to try to make a good family look bad? 🤔
@@HaraldBaldr The average human brain nowadays Harald, we have to get used to that it's not even worth your response.
You deserve the accolade for being the most intrepid humorous adventurer. I really enjoyed your 2024 videos with Noodles in Orleans and Vegas, and your solo journeys covering India and Nepal. The Ganges videos were amazing. You deserve the love of all humanity.
I agree with what others have said. Thank you for being honest and genuine. Some days don’t work out but you still showed us that and continued on. Always happy to see when you upload.
I just wanna encourage everyone to give this video a chance, even if you are not into watching the "rat BBQ" thing, that is so short and can be easily skipped, so don't let the title drive you away. This video is so rich in authentic experiences, thank you Harald. I really really is worth watching.
Thanks for the content over the years !
🙏🏻
So glad you returned to Mama Zee her work ethic is mind blowing and it’s brilliant she has met someone like yourself.
Man, I absolutely love your travel videos where you visit people and showcase the landscapes, villages, the food and how the live. It's so fascinating to watch and feels incredibly authentic. You present everything as it is, no fluff, and I really appreciate that. Keep up the amazing work, Haraldo! You are truly the gem of travel vlogs. Skol!
I have to say this was actually one of your funnier videos; because you woke up with a massive hangover and then your whole day turned to shit! I loved seeing you start to loose your mind with everyone, the chef coughing in the pizza, the woman not showing up on time, the taxi with the plastic wrap, the idiot driving the hotel golf cart, the beggars, the hotel scam, I was laughing my ass off! 🤣 😂
There real life. Sadly it’s not appreciated
@HaraldBaldr the newborn ruined your shopping trip. That's babies for ya all over the world.
haha true
This is an most important video Harald. Thanks. I travel a lot and a lot of times things don’t go how you planned them to be. That is the exciting thing from traveling but sometime I also ‘break’ down and have enough haha. And you even had a hangover hahah. And still vlogged it (which can be very draining) respect man. I wish you good ‘luck’ on your next travel. Peace
Friend of dog, god of pig,protector of cats and now whisper of Turkeys!!

@@markcruz6906 wonderer of our we filming 🤣
It's nice to see that even when you are having a bad moments that you still turn it around and have a great time !
HOLY SHT!! This so COOL! Love it LOVED it! Best content on RUclips today!! WOW…what a fantastic surprise video for us!! Please more!!
Oh my god. The timing...
I was thinking to watch some good vlog and this viking just uploaded some good stuff. Bless you Chinese northman
this really made me smile, so happy to see mama zee and her family! wish them all the best!
This is why Harald is the best traveling content creator , visiting nice interesting locations around the world ,
Big hello from Australia and keep up the great work you do all the best
The Northman uploads
Greetings from Nepal ...In my opinion,you are a genuine vlogger and one of the best vloggers if not the best.Not predetermined shots or scripted videos.Just spontaneity.I am sad and worried that the youtube views have not been that great recently.🥲🥲I wish and pray that your channel grows even bigger and youtube views commensurates with your hard and genuine work..All the best,Heraldo❤❤❤
🙏🏻
@@HaraldBaldr commensurates 🙏
The best RUclipsr back again!
They haven't got nothing but so happy and welcoming makes you wonder how people around the world takes things for granted. ❤
The Northman goes to Vietnam! Great Video Harald! Glad to see you show that everything isn’t all sunshine and rainbows traveling!
Good news, I have been taking my medication and I personally am happy for the way you handled your day going downhill, people forget to put themselves in your position, I remember that lady from last time, I believe she did the same exact thing, it will never stop.
On the other hand I like Mama Z, her Husband and family, they are always good to see, they are good people.
Thank you for keeping up with your meds 🤣
Yup she stalked the hell out of me last time too and had not changed one bit in 6 months. She basically ruins the perception of the city for countless tourists passing through here every day 🤦🏼♂
Thanks
🙏🏻
Give it to Mama zee next time you visit @@HaraldBaldr
Always happy when I see that you uploaded something. Thank you
He is back. Like, if you want daily vlogs of Harald!
I don't think his content would be as good when it's uploaded daily. I prefer that he takes his time and does things in his own unique way even though that means that it may take a while between uploads
@@rafierafie8834 I know. It was a joke.
Love ya Buddy! so happy you are out there in the World having wonderful adventures and sharing them with us.
This video made me so happy, the looks on their faces when you gave them gifts and how genuinely grateful they are for everything is heart warming, thank you haraldo baldo
The Northman prevails once again!
To be fair Herald, you have impressively good facial memory, always shocked me how well you remember people even years after meeting them for short time. I think that's a gift dude lol, not everyone has the ability to remember people's faces to that extent. That part of what makes you unique, you remember everyone you interact with and people appreciate it. Personally I think it's a gift.
You’re the only RUclipsr that I finished watching the whole vlog, doesn’t matter how many hours it is! You’re inspiring and amazing
Still one of the best travel channels on RUclips
The duck editing bit got me good 😂
Smiling all thru this especially as the last video with this Bea family was what inspired me to go to this region n met these beautiful kind souls in the mountains
It is Rat O‘Clock! 🐀🕘
lol
Ring out the warning bell, you can catch a bad case of IBS lasting over 2 years lol (locals have built up a resistance) Cheers
bruh that's disgusting af, RAT
@@Jack-2day No risk no fun.
@@BasiHeimdall-Darwin Award Candidate-Good luck!
Its great content as always, it's authentic and perfectly understandable. Its human to have a bad (wasnt even that bad imo) mood. I dont understand the negative comments. Especially if your Hotel didnt meet expectations, you havent slept very much, are hungover, had to walk in the night before because road blocked and yet "have" to film for us. I really appreciate to you just being yourself. I enjoyed watching as I did with every video yet. I loved the mamazee and sapa videos in summer and was happy to see you there again. Have a good time and a happy new year.
First I gotta say that Mama Zee and her family just seem so great. I'm happy she is getting more business from your viewers.
Second, all the people that complain about the other stuff, they have clearly never travelled. Anyone that has ever travelled, especially solo, or something even slightly adventurous, has had days like that. Kudos for keeping it real.
It's refreshing to see your pure honesty when travelling Heraldo. I personally much prefer it to some fake reaction video, this is the reality of a true traveller! Thanks for filming, even with a hangover! Heres to a great 2025!
Long time fan of this channel: I’m Hmong in the USA and I love how hard these grandma work so hard for few bucks!!
Love all your Videos!
May I ask what religion you are? I know some Lutheran Hmong.
Always happy when Joe McEnroe posts another video!
I love it when you go to Vietnam your adventures here are so awesome and it seems like it’s a little awkward for you, but you should come here more often and explore
🤘🏿❤ Northman. Always bringing the best vids.
that alcohol you took with you
jack daniels
was gone quickly hahaha
I love your adventure and how you share it with us
and I want to thank you for that
I wish you a wonderful new year
and hope to see a lot more of you in 2025😇
Wow didn't expect you to comeback to my Vietnam, what a nice surprise 😤
It was one thing after another that did not work out. This video does a good job showing how things don’t always go as you expect when traveling. I think you handled it all well, especially while having a headache.
Was waiting for your next upload and there you go.
I'm catching up - only on the second part - but Harold is making great stuff - connecting with locals and educating with entertaining video. I've always been a fan - but most recent stuff has been great!
Great video, mate. All the best for the year. Hope you have a happy one which will also result in more great content 😊
Love to see you come back Việt Nam
You are a TRUE bon vivant who loves life and people everywhere...You have opened the eyes of this 76 year old city boy as I have seen so many amazing places on the globe thanks to you lugging your camera here and there......All thanks to you...Happy Water AND Happy New Year to you...Wife sends a big hug for Noodles...
Thanks!
🙏🏻
Waiting for your videos and here it is.. without skiping i only watch your videos.. love to see more videos.. lots of love from NEPAL❤❤❤
Hi from Central California, USA 🇺🇸. This is your best video Harald. I like the part when you drink happy water with the Hmong family 🍺🤣
I’m Hmong American. Hope to see you do a video on Hmong USA 🇺🇸 too.
Perfect video to watch to start the new year! 🔥
Happy holiday Hararld. I love your video's and stay safe. Wish you all the best for 2025!
Lmao can tell the moment those ladies tipped you over the edge 😅 .. had the pleasure of meeting this dude in Hanoi and can fully verify what an all around legend he is. Memories to cherish. Safe travels Haraldo 😊
Haraldo is back again!!! I approve again!! ☝🏼
Well at least Mama Zee and husband were generally happy to see you again. That was nice to see. Hope you have a good one again soon fellow traveler. Saludos from Royal Ankor International Hospital in Cambodia 🫡
YESS! Back to the best place on the planet at Mama Zee's place. Beautiful
Love your videos.
Appriciate your honesty. Even when its not always party-time.😆😉
The great northman Phuc Baldr is back!! Hope he stays for awhile and uploads lots of VN videos.
I check your channel like 5 time now finally
you bring smile to people even watching your video, thank you for sharing life harald ❤
You with no patience due to a hangover is golden content haraldo
Excellent! The reunion tour. It's great to see Mama Zee and Lilly again. Also raises.
Very!
Thanks for always keeping in real. 🍻 Despite your difficulties, I loved watching, esp Mama Zee! ❤️
Harold's out there running a social experiment. "We all look the same?" Hahahaha
It’s like second nature seeing you in Vietnam. I love that you surprised momma zee. the last video when you stayed with her was incredible. As always I love how authentic you are so genuine this one was kinda funny a bit like my daily life nothing seems to go right.
Happy holidays haroldo. Thanks for sharing take it easy brother ❤
Harald was getting “ HANGERY”
love the videos harald . always excited to get a new one
Wohany !!! You are Tigerous.. Love these people Accent. Funny video ! Probably the funniest from 2024 😅
Oh bad temper at the end there 😂 Du er lett min fav youtuber Harald 💪🏼😃
Santa Harold comes bearing gifts . Great video
Happy New Year Harald, here is to many more videos this year! From a pesky Brit.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
A1+ one of the best channels on RUclips !!!!!!!!!!
Good to see you visiting the same people and keeping the bond haraldoo👍👍👍 u took my favourite JD honey too😂😂 Haralddo approved 😅🎉🎉
And here is the notification, thank you Sir. Kindly try and post more often, I am pretty sure that is not an option for you but we love and miss you. I approve! Thank you again! 💯
Happy New Year from my son snd myself ,your channel is amazing ,and we wish you continued success and safe travels .❤
Harald. These people probably never travelled anywhere themselves. Been to Sapa myself, bought stuff I didn't even need as good gesture, after buying people swarmed me like I was giving money away. You're RIGHT a NO is a NO. They ruin it for genuine people that aren't like that..... Your video was perfect imo
People like this do ruin a destination for travelers, they should be policed, have some sort of license to walk around selling so that what is being sold is authentic, local, priced right and the sellers treat tourists as guests and not ATM's.
You're being honest and real in this video 😆👍
Happy New Year Haraldo, may you have a very happy adventurous time in 2025, i love all your fantastic videos !❤🥂🍾
Great video as always, love how you show warts and all. Unlike others you are being you and not fake. The Vietnamese street sellers are more pesky than us British 🤣
Dude! That was a nice bottle of rum:) You’re a good dude!
That jack bottle was GONE???
😂😂
Thats not even the Crazy thing, the crazy thing is that the next morning, they are again up at 5am starting their work😂
@@M1nato. Yup, he woke up at 4:30 and hiked Vietnam's tallest mountain
@@HaraldBaldr …yeah. I would need two Days of "i will never drink again", to function properly. People said you were grumpy next day, they clearly never been woken up 10 times by some dudes alarm. Your patience is something a haven’t been blessed.
Hopefully you recover in a couple days and give us great video. We understand the struggle of traveling and trying to get good content. Keep your head up.
I am already recovered. This was yesterday 🫡
@@HaraldBaldrthe content was awesome, it’s fun to add a little drama, I was laughing my ass off seeing you loose your shit being hungover dealing with all of the nonsense.
I watch your videos every time you upload. Still my favorite show. ( pushy pesky sales people aggravate ) stay safe Harold!!!!!!! Sending love from Virginia!
That hangover turned Harald haha 😂
sometimes everyone has a bad day haha keep up northman!
OH MY GOD! THE MUSIC WITH THE SWANS! Fantastic!
I really love your content Harold!
Love how you keep your content original always and not make the same video's as other people! Now I guess I have to try Rat here in Thailand one time also xD
Try from the mountains as to not be fed from the gutters
I missed her! Thanks for the journey, Harald! One of the few ones where I would watch a 24hour journey. You make these videos so entertaining! Love from Germany!
You're amazing! Generous and kind ❤👏👏👏 Super funny too🤣😂
Last Time, i watched your Tibet Video, and i wanted to ask in the Comments if you could maybe do a Revisiting Series, but i thought maybe don’t ask, maybe you already have other plans. And here you are visiting the Family i was thinking about 😂. Im really happy MamaZees Children are getting proper education, their Parents are great People. Marry Christmas Big Viking 🎉 🎄
They had a terrible typhoon in September with landslides, dead people and destroyed houses.
Awesome video Harald Happ holiday's to you and Keep the videos coming 😊 watching you from Squamish British Columbia
Grande Heraldo! Great to see you!
It was nice to see you and your friends again Harald. Sorry you went through hell making the video, you're a better man than I am, I would've lost my cool and hurt someone's feelings. Take care and I wish you better days.
Danke!
🙏🏻
The hold ur breath scene😂. BTW as always great content! 🎉
Every day The Northman publishes a new video is a good day. :) Happy 2025 to you Harald and to many more video uploads in the next year. :D Safe travels.
Thanks for your videos man! very interesting to see for somone who will probably never travel around the world 😊
