I am trying to refrain from commenting on other comments but I think it is getting too much. My idea of filming this video is to share how the Vietnamese people here conduct their daily activities. No haughty judgment whatsoever of how dirty/stupid/miserable etc things are over there. I found it fascinating instead that they could just go on nonchalantly with their lives with this daily disruption. People who cannot accept that things are just done differently over there probably have minds narrower than the tracks. Someone once said, "If you cannot be kind, be quiet." I think this aptly sums up what I want to say. Thank you.
I took it the way you intended it to be seen. It's always interesting learning about how people live in different parts of the world. Thanks for the video!
''People who cannot accept that things are just done differently over there probably have minds narrower than the tracks'' Maybe. Or maybe people who find ''spirituality'' in, for example, poor sanitation in India or wonderful sentimentalism in the fact that policemen take bribes in some other country, are just not particularly smart and perhaps even dangerous to the people of the very country they visit. I understand that a train running through the city is nothing particularly horrifying and they don't have money to direct it somewhere else, but I am very sceptical about people who go to other countries and take everything in and just say ''well, that's how they do it, so we should not interfere, it's their way of life, traditions etc.'' If we approach the world like that, we could as well ignore all the massacres, people who live in poverty etc. in the world and just walk around in Indian slums, for example, with a stupid smile on the face and write home how everything is not materialistic and so spiritual here and how wonderfully simple the life is... while many people die from curable diseases and just bad sanitation.
Dear Andris, if you are in a position to change their lives for the better, by all means, do so. I am not advocating apathy. What I am saying is, I was there as a traveller, in 7 days, I could not do much, except to observe, not to judge or criticise. If we start going in and say "Hey you guys are stupid and ignorant. Let me show you how we guys back in my country live our lives", I think that is out of self-righteousness and pride, not love.
Bro...i was on that time and i saw your comment, coincidence! And that is funny lmao, bro just proceeds to do his chores rather than get impressed by the train or watch it
@@neutronenstern. I was surprised at the traffic, at first i found it was impossible to cross a road if I waited for a gap or for someone to stop. But their culture is such that it is an immense loss of 'face' if they hit anyone at all so to cross you just walk out don't bother looking and they will all avoid you. It's like the parting of the waves, very strange at first but the traffic keeps moving all the times, pretty slowly it has to be said but hardly ever stationary.

There are traffic safety rules. But many Vietnamese are very stubborn. They even decorate the houses there into the coffee shops and earn money from ignorant tourists. They were ordered to closed since 2019, but still try to re-open. But recently, they were officially "forced" to close that "tourism destination", simply bc they severly violate the railway safety rules.

This in the other hands is much less noise than the highway. It keeps for less than a minute and then it's quiet. The highway fcks up your nerves big time constant noise disrupts the wildlife and destroys the environment.
@@user-we3no5pw9n You know what else fucks up your nerves? Car exhaust. They've found magnetite particles (coming, most likely, from internal combustion engines) in people's brains. Causes all kinds of cell damage, probably Alzheimer's disease. Trains are a much better way to get around than cars.
I am living near to highway and train rails and trains are much better because it just goes around few times in hour and then it's peace again, but highway has that typical whistling sound 24/7/365 and I am almost 2 km from highway and it's still clearly audibly. Cars are not so big problem, but trucks sounds terrible, it's sounds like wasp attack. :-D
Genuinely impressed at the fact every driver managed to stop and not make any noise or commotion while waiting for the train to pass. In my country drivers would be beeping non-stop and try and get past the gate on time. Salute to the Vietnamese.

Watch your step while doing your sweeping mate, don't trip! :O I must admit that as an Australian who grew up in Sydney, the state of the place is a bit crazy to me. Electrical wires going everywhere, a pile of garbage on the street, the casual approach to pedestrian safety around an active railway line. I will say this though: we have a large Vietnamese-Australian community here in Sydney, many families have been here for several generations now after arriving as refugees, so I've met and worked with quite a few people from that community over the years. I've never met a Vietnamese person who wasn't super friendly and willing to share their culture, cuisine and traditions. They certainly do things differently in some respects (a traditional Vietnamese wedding is an affair to behold, typically an all-day-and-all-night celebration of life with MANY long speeches, quite similar to some of the more extravagant European cultures in many ways), but they're such a wonderfully friendly and welcoming people. I'd love to visit one day, but I can barely cope with Sydney's hot and humid summers... if I wound up in Vietnam during the monsoon I'm pretty sure I'd sweat myself to death! Really looks like an amazing country though.
It sure is! Try to spend weekends there if you plan to go...the night market and all the street activities near Hoan Kiem lake make the place come alive! I wished I could have spent more than a week there.
Did a train trip on this line (?) from Hue to Hanoi years ago. Left Saigon, sorry still call it that name, soon after Tet and started our Vietnam trip. The rail bit from Hue to Dong Hoi then on to Hanoi was great. The people we met were so nice and helpful. They even opened a beach hotel for us when we were the only guests. Indelible memories helped by my resemblance to Uncle Ho I guess.
Stationed there during the war was hell. Returning for a visit armed with knowledge about history, culture, customs and language I encountered heaven and made it my second home. Vietnamese have an indomitable spirit and so kind and friendly, even former enemies. Strange as it may seem, I encounter far more beggars in the US than in Vietnam. In a few weeks I will return for my 6 month tour and can't wait. The US is a lonely place compared to Vietnam. As far as trains go, the best train ride I ever had was the one from Saigon to Quang Ngai. An old French train filled with locals. We had a party all the way there, sharing food, singing. Most were poor but freely shared what they had.
Awesome! 6 months? Wow! I was only there for a week but it was a great trip! The Vietnamese people's friendliness is indeed true. Except for that time we took a cab(which we were warned beforehand not to take) and were cheated by a meter that jumped faster than you can count 1 to 10, most of the time we encountered friendly and nice people. I would love to go back there again!
@@parkgreen10 I married into a large family there and have a home in Saigon. Those meters probably run on Vietnam dong, $1 USD = 23,342.00 VND as of today. If you are in a tourist area in any city in the world, the name of the game is to get tourist dollars. Get off the beaten track for a more realistic view.
We were told by the hotel staff to flag only 2 types of cabs....can't recall exactly the colours, red/white and the green one I think....we saw a cab coming outside the Imperial Citadel so we just flagged it and the meter just moved very fast...lesson learnt. We were in Saigon in 2016 and we loved it that's why we made the trip to Hanoi in 2017.
@@parkgreen10 this trip I hope to visit Hanoi. Will start from my home in Saigon take train to Quang Ngai, spend a month in Song Ve then head up to Hanoi.
Similar situation was there in Mumbai su burban trains (local trains) in Harbour line. Slums were very close to the tracks at some stretches..Few years back those tracks have been cleared of the slums and the trains are running at normal speed.

People would hurl out every abuse existing in their dictionary on Indians. But since its not India, everyone is warm and nice so as not to offend Vietnamese. To be honest, if it was not for our skills, we Indians would have been kicked out of every country.

The trees and plants growing on the sides of the houses make everything look so pretty. Honestly the whole place just seems nice. I'd like to live in a spot like this
Why do I even wonder why someone with a name like that is a complete braindead who wants to live 5 feet away from passing trains in rat infested, half-collapsed sheds, risking death every day...
WOW!!!!!! I love the way that train runs through a small space. I'm a huge fan of trains. So far, this was the most AWESOME video I've seen today. Please post another video of that train running through tight areas.. thanks for posting
Never mind. Not only Vietnam. It's a usual practice of India as well. You know what, yesterday I waited pure 40 minutes at our local level crossing to pass seven trains. And here, only five minutes or so. Anybody from India, agree with me?
Yeah, I was about to comment that, that's actually the only reason I clicked on this video, I think it's the same kind of train that was popular in eastern Europe in the 60's to 90's just an older version and Vietnam is just still using them. Really fuckin neat tho, to it irl
In Japan, I know the Keisei Kanamachi line is close to the tracks and houses, but the world is a big place. I feel nostalgic and also get quite a bit of energy.🤩😆😄
Locomotive D19E is one of the newest, a Chinese type assembled in Vietnam around 2010. The coaches offer reasonable comfort in four-berth sleeping compartments (affordable by western standards), there are six-berth and two levels of seating cars too. Trains are just relatively slow on jointed meter gauge tracks, and swaying a bit in the curves, I slept ok anyway. Hanoi has such narrow track alleys to both sides of the central station so all express trains have to go through here. These places are world famous among railfans.
Everything is so close. God I'm really thankful they have the long warning sounds so no one gets hurt. People away just ignore trains but like big rigs they don't stop on a dime.
Wow, that is interesting! There is a train that goes down the middle of a road in a town near me, but it has football fields of room in comparison. It kind of cracked me up hom they just had to squeeze through at the last second. Good thing they have a plenty head start.
as a Vietnamese, I'm literally astounded that the motorbikes actually stopped for the train. They don't even stop to let the buses or semis roll through
Oh my goodness! What a terrific imagination living next to this railway track. Maybe one can get used to it, but I don't want to think about living there with children! 😮
In 2002 I took train fron Hanoi going south to the central highlands and I wonder if I saw something like this....Did a lot of travel in Viet Nam over 15 years.
Missed you by a couple of years. Took train from Saigon to Quang Ngai, looked much like this train. Best train ride of my life. 6 racks to a room, everyone so friendly. Rather a sparse train than a fancy train with self absorbed people.
@@deonal Maybe to wake people up. I backpacked a lot so was used to very simple living without any rooms. This old train swayed a lot and to use the traditional bathroom required what I would term "varsity level skills" of which I thankfully had acquired years ago. And I have come to learn using squat toilets is a more natural and healthy way to go to the bathroom.
Whats with so much hate about how our people live? I am in the US now and i think i liked it better over there. Except with all the mosquito bites i had.. But Vietname is such an amazinf place and if you go to the right places then you'll love it there.

Which came first, the railway track or the neighbourhood? Did the people start living along the track or the rail company build the track through the neighbourhood.

They were ordered to closed since 2019, but still try to re-open. But recently, they were officially "forced" to close that "tourism destination" by Ministry of Transportation, simply bc they severly violate the railway safety rules.

Wow! I’ve never seen so many pooter skooters in one place!
Watch your step while doing your sweeping mate, don't trip! :O
I must admit that as an Australian who grew up in Sydney, the state of the place is a bit crazy to me. Electrical wires going everywhere, a pile of garbage on the street, the casual approach to pedestrian safety around an active railway line. I will say this though: we have a large Vietnamese-Australian community here in Sydney, many families have been here for several generations now after arriving as refugees, so I've met and worked with quite a few people from that community over the years. I've never met a Vietnamese person who wasn't super friendly and willing to share their culture, cuisine and traditions. They certainly do things differently in some respects (a traditional Vietnamese wedding is an affair to behold, typically an all-day-and-all-night celebration of life with MANY long speeches, quite similar to some of the more extravagant European cultures in many ways), but they're such a wonderfully friendly and welcoming people. I'd love to visit one day, but I can barely cope with Sydney's hot and humid summers... if I wound up in Vietnam during the monsoon I'm pretty sure I'd sweat myself to death! Really looks like an amazing country though.
Go up north (Ha Noi and east of there) in December-February, with a bit of luck you will hit a cold spell (just above freezing with no heating).
This is a cool video! Hanoi looks like an interesting place to visit.
It sure is! Try to spend weekends there if you plan to go...the night market and all the street activities near Hoan Kiem lake make the place come alive! I wished I could have spent more than a week there.

Very nice video my friend, greetings from Viet Nam.
Ye vietnam hai mere ko to laga ki china hai abhi ne in logo ko gaaliya dene wala tha. Tabhi tumhari comment padhi😂😂😂
Did a train trip on this line (?) from Hue to Hanoi years ago. Left Saigon, sorry still call it that name, soon after Tet and started our Vietnam trip. The rail bit from Hue to Dong Hoi then on to Hanoi was great. The people we met were so nice and helpful. They even opened a beach hotel for us when we were the only guests. Indelible memories helped by my resemblance to Uncle Ho I guess.
Fascinating. Quite eerie when the train first appears. Also, it was not hanging about!!
Stationed there during the war was hell. Returning for a visit armed with knowledge about history, culture, customs and language I encountered heaven and made it my second home. Vietnamese have an indomitable spirit and so kind and friendly, even former enemies. Strange as it may seem, I encounter far more beggars in the US than in Vietnam.
In a few weeks I will return for my 6 month tour and can't wait. The US is a lonely place compared to Vietnam.
As far as trains go, the best train ride I ever had was the one from Saigon to Quang Ngai. An old French train filled with locals. We had a party all the way there, sharing food, singing. Most were poor but freely shared what they had.
Awesome! 6 months? Wow! I was only there for a week but it was a great trip! The Vietnamese people's friendliness is indeed true. Except for that time we took a cab(which we were warned beforehand not to take) and were cheated by a meter that jumped faster than you can count 1 to 10, most of the time we encountered friendly and nice people. I would love to go back there again!
@@parkgreen10 I married into a large family there and have a home in Saigon. Those meters probably run on Vietnam dong, $1 USD = 23,342.00 VND as of today. If you are in a tourist area in any city in the world, the name of the game is to get tourist dollars. Get off the beaten track for a more realistic view.
We were told by the hotel staff to flag only 2 types of cabs....can't recall exactly the colours, red/white and the green one I think....we saw a cab coming outside the Imperial Citadel so we just flagged it and the meter just moved very fast...lesson learnt. We were in Saigon in 2016 and we loved it that's why we made the trip to Hanoi in 2017.
@@parkgreen10 this trip I hope to visit Hanoi. Will start from my home in Saigon take train to Quang Ngai, spend a month in Song Ve then head up to Hanoi.

Staggering, how you russians, still think being russian is something to be proud of. You're the shame of this planet.
Fascinating. Actually it’s amazing how everything functions within tight confines.
Wow! This is amazing 😍 I visited Hanoi last July 2018 but I wasn't able to witness a train passing by. Will definitely wait for the train next time 😊
This was recommended to me after I watched a video on the Japanese Tokaido speed train going more than 300 km/h
Similar situation was there in Mumbai su burban trains (local trains) in Harbour line. Slums were very close to the tracks at some stretches..Few years back those tracks have been cleared of the slums and the trains are running at normal speed.

@Sahil Shirodkar exactly
Coz they are filled with hatred towards India by biased news channels like bbc
People would hurl out every abuse existing in their dictionary on Indians. But since its not India, everyone is warm and nice so as not to offend Vietnamese. To be honest, if it was not for our skills, we Indians would have been kicked out of every country.
@@I_killed_that_beard_guy bbc shows the same about every country! I'm an Indian myself but BBC always shows worst side of every country even America and UK! And I think it is somewhat good and bad! First you should show some better side of the world to people and secondly it makes people understand how better we are and if they are showing about my country I would feel a urge to prove them wrong and will try to do to change those defaults!

Wife - Honey, we are getting late for our train
Me - **still trying to understand the fact that we are the train station*
Never mind. Not only Vietnam. It's a usual practice of India as well. You know what, yesterday I waited pure 40 minutes at our local level crossing to pass seven trains. And here, only five minutes or so.
Anybody from India, agree with me?
Hanoi, our capital, is happy to watch videos of a 1,000-year-old city.
That's the same train from Half-Life 2.
The train is going to Nova Prospekt
Yeah, I was about to comment that, that's actually the only reason I clicked on this video, I think it's the same kind of train that was popular in eastern Europe in the 60's to 90's just an older version and Vietnam is just still using them. Really fuckin neat tho, to it irl
In Half_Life 2 it was a little bit different model based on soviet made train.

Half Life 3 will be at least PARTIALLY set in Vietnam then.
Them Combine going to South East Asia baby!

Locomotive D19E is one of the newest, a Chinese type assembled in Vietnam around 2010. The coaches offer reasonable comfort in four-berth sleeping compartments (affordable by western standards), there are six-berth and two levels of seating cars too. Trains are just relatively slow on jointed meter gauge tracks, and swaying a bit in the curves, I slept ok anyway.
Hanoi has such narrow track alleys to both sides of the central station so all express trains have to go through here. These places are world famous among railfans.
Great Vietnam!! love from India ❤🇮🇳🇻🇳

There is a train that goes down the middle of a road in a town near me, but it has football fields of room in comparison.
It kind of cracked me up hom they just had to squeeze through at the last second. Good thing they have a plenty head start.
as a Vietnamese, I'm literally astounded that the motorbikes actually stopped for the train. They don't even stop to let the buses or semis roll through

In 2002 I took train fron Hanoi going south to the central highlands and I wonder if I saw something like this....Did a lot of travel in Viet Nam over 15 years.
Missed you by a couple of years. Took train from Saigon to Quang Ngai, looked much like this train. Best train ride of my life. 6 racks to a room, everyone so friendly. Rather a sparse train than a fancy train with self absorbed people.
Remember how they would crank up music as you came into a station lol.
@@deonal Maybe to wake people up. I backpacked a lot so was used to very simple living without any rooms. This old train swayed a lot and to use the traditional bathroom required what I would term "varsity level skills" of which I thankfully had acquired years ago. And I have come to learn using squat toilets is a more natural and healthy way to go to the bathroom.
The place is really a nightmare...
Good sharing my friend,,,, watching from🇮🇩🇮🇩

Absolutely amazing, and I'm sure the train picks up acceleration too once out of the town. Great share, respect from Lahore 🇵🇰
