    Viewers, pay attention. I have made 3 trips to Vietnam since 2020 and Chris has never steered me wrong. Fat and broke has been my best, most reliable source of information

    I've been here, in VN, the last two weeks and can testify that the info on this channel is extremely accurate. Not just this vlog, but all the vlogs up to 1/24/2023. To F&B.... great job. As a fellow South Floridian(FLL) you represent us well. Thank you.
    One odd thing when exchanging USD at the jewelry stores near Ben Thanh market, they give different rates for "old and new" 100$ bills. I can't tell the difference between the bills. Also, the rate is lower for denominations smaller than 100$(Benjamins). Not all the jewelery stores did that, so I found that odd, but was told it's not uncommon.

    just a heads up, money doesn’t come in bunches. it’s not grapes irrespective of how inarticulate children on youtube say it. secondly that’s bad advice regarding the lines at immigration. people pick the shortest line because when those workers come off their shift the process to shut down and reboot for the replacement staff member is 30mins.

      Hi Chris,
      Just some information for prospective Australian tourists. I contacted my travel agent this morning about the e visa. We cannot apply for one in Australia now. This changed last week. If you send your passport to the embassy in Canberra via your travel agent it will be $200.00 Australian. No information on the website for new fees.
