Hanoi - 2 Cool Things You Must Experience

- Hanoi, 2 Cool Things You Must Experience focuses on the top sites of the city you must fully appreciate to get a sense of the soul of the capital. The Old Quarter alone will satiate your craving for a cultural and culinary experience. Hoan Kiem Lake is a haven on the weekend from the chaotic traffic and hustle of the capital city. These two places in my opinion are the most important ones to experience, especially if it's your first time to Hanoi, Vietnam. From shrimp cakes to unique coffees, pho and pho chay, and wonderful traditional desserts like pineapple cake, they're all within a few steps from each other in Hoan Kiem District.
It's always a pleasure and privilege to share these travels with you. I have been living in East Asia and Southeast Asia for the past decade and none of this gets routine or boring for me. I hope this video helps you get the most out of your Hanoi experience.
Peace, love, and safe travels! This is John Saboe.....

Great stuff, John. Thanks. We went to DaNang and HoiAn last year, and are planning to go to Vietnam again in January 2025. Your videos are really useful for planning the trip.
Thanks so much!!! Glad you’re finding the vids helpful! Safe travels!!!
Excellent choices for newcomers to Hanoi John. I agree that Hanoi is unique amongst large SE Asian cities. Manila, Bangkok, KL, even HCMC try too hard to look and feel like a Western city. Hanoi still keeps its old architecture, its small streets, tree lined streets and boulevard, lakes, etc. As for feel, I like seeing Hanoi with so many local families and children walking amongst the foreign tourists whereas other larger cities have their locals live well outside the border of those cities downtown.
Thanks, spot on! Not trying to be anything else but who it is and what it stands for-Peace!
Glad to see you putting out content again from Vietnam, love it. I used your experiences to plan my trip last year in the south to mid Vietnam . Next year it will be from the mid to north Vietnam. Please keep it coming.

Thanks John, I just relived my trips to Hanoi while watching your video. I usually stay at the Apricot Hotel and when I walk out the front I'm right behind you on the walk round the lake. The coffee, the food the sights and especially the people keep bringing me back to Hanoi and Vietnam. looking forward to more from you.

G’day John,
Thanks for another great video. We can’t wait get back to Vietnam, and especially up to Hanoi this time. Like you, we love to just wander around, eat and drink and just soak up the feel of a place. There is a little cafe we love the look of that you may want to check out….
Ca Bop 23 Hang Vai, Hoan Kiem. Let us know if you make it there. Could you share the details of the vego pho place?
Take care until next time,
Cheers Louis Kats & Kellie,
Your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 👍 🇦🇺 🇻🇳
By the way Kellie & I are sitting on our outdoor sofa on our porch on a sunny Sunday morning enjoying our coffee’s & watching your video & wishing we were over there with you.
How much was that delicious looking pineapple cake ?
Louis and Kellie! You have made my day with your wonderful message, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I will definitely check out that cafe on my next trip to Hanoi. I hope you can return to Vietnam very soon!!! Here is the Google Maps location of the pho Chay stall near the train station-maps.app.goo.gl/Da633byxhyK1btkQ7?g_st=ic . Take care yourselves and see you in future!!!

Nice video!
Thanks so much!
I love watching your TH-cam videos about Vietnam. You are a remarkable storyteller, and your videos shows the beauty of the city. Can you do a video on getting a permanent visa to Vietnam? I am a Vietnamese American who emigrated to the States when I was a child. It's my dream to one day open up a school for orphans. Is it difficult to get permanent citizenship? Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I can include this topic in a video in the future. I think you should contact an immigration lawyer to help you with the paperwork for passport/citizenship. This is something that is very possible for you however it may take a little time to process. It sounds like a wonderful dream that’s not far from your reach. Take care and many blessings and prosperity to you!
@@iamjohnsaboe Thank you for getting back to me! I am going to look into getting an immigration lawyer, just as you suggested. Have a wonderful LNY (Tet) celebration!
John you're back in Vietnam! Great video, be careful out there.
Thanks and all the best to you!!!
Hey John. Have you walked the alleys in Ba Dinh? I lived out that way for two years. There's lakes and coffee shops to experience as well as the usual bikes laden with fruit, veges ect; plus the locals are pretty chill out there. Try around Ngoc Ha and wander from there.
Sounds really great! I will do that on my next visit there. Thanks for the tip!
💛👍
Thank you!!!
Very useful video as I will be visiting Hanoi in March. Thank you ❤
My pleasure, have a great visit!!!
Thanks John, I enjoy watching your vlogs they are totally entertaining. I myself stopped learning to speak Vietnamese because of my in-laws having a good laugh at me while trying to communicate. Keep these coming as I love seeing my 2nd home in a different way you show it
Haha, thanks so much!!! I’m glad you can relate to the experience of trying to speak Vietnamese in front of Vietnamese!😂 Thanks again-many more stories to come!!!

Another great vid. thanks John. One question.... Do you feel its safe to eat the street food in Hanoi ??. Do you have any rules when it comes to buying STREET food ??. Like only eat what they JUST COOKED ??. Max. Australia.
Thanks very much Max! Personally I’ve never gotten sick from street food in Vietnam,but I don’t eat meat. I’ve rarely heard of people getting sick from street food but do look for cleanliness and a busy stall.
Hey John....how do you stay long term in Vietnam?....I am wanting to do the same....how does the visa thing work for you?
I teach media and communication at a university. I have a work permit.
Hey John, while in Hanoi, did you run into Hanoi Hanna? LOL
She was living in Saigon last time I checked but not sure now.
When did you shoot this? I thought it was kind of cold in Hanoi this time of year but everyone is still wearing shorts and t-shirts.
November 2023.
bro make more videos please
You bet, thanks!!!
❤❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤❤❤
My pleasure!!!❤️❤️❤️
Pls be honest which is better philippines or beach when it comes to cost of living and infrastructure
I’ve spent very little time in The Philippines to know.
That's not nice laughing at someone trying to learn a new language. I guess that's one of their tricks to get a free English lesson from you.😂
😂😂😂haha! Never thought of that!
