- A walking tour of the Old Quarter was a great way to see Hanoi, my favorite city in Vietnam. I was smack in the middle of all of the hustle and bustle-there were motor scooters everywhere and all types of shops and markets lining the streets.
WARNING: At 4:23 there is a 10 second countdown until a frog is chopped into pieces (like in biology class) in the food market.

david robinson Thanks David!
Amazing country, amazing people and amazing food, thanks for this great video, specially showing the old side of Hanoi.
+Marvin Shika I agree with you on all three counts-thank you!
Incredible video! I am thinking of visiting in August
Thanks-you should definitely visit Hanoi, my favorite city in Vietnam.
Andy's Awesome Adventures Mind if I ask how does it compare to ho chi minh city?
Definitely a different feel for me. Hanoi felt more like the authentic Vietnam-more of the old history of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City felt more like a modern city. However, Ho Chi Minh City does have some great French architecture (Opera House, City Hall, Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral) and links to the Vietnam War (War Remnants Museum, Presidential Palace) so it's important to visit both if possible.
so much food woww
Great video
+Hoàng Phùng Văn Thank you!
Thank u for making a great video about my country
Going army 2018 - can't wait!
AMAZING, I ´VE BEEN THERE AND I ENJOYED VERY MUCH, BECAUSE IT WAS SO EXCITING & ADVENTUROUS FOR ME! AND NOW, WHEN I SEE IT YOUR VIDEO - SO I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO BE AT THIS OLD QUARTER AGAIN,,,,,,,,,
I'd like to go back one day, too.
OK ANDY, SO U CAN WRAP ME IN UR SUITCASE, SMILE
Hi Andy, how did you break the language barrier when speaking to the locals? Assuming I walk into those flee markets, is it easy to get the message across in English ??
Hello-I had a local guide with me in Vietnam so he would translate if necessary. There are locals who speak some English, especially in the markets that sell T-shirts, etc. Even without a guide, you can just point to what you want and ask how much.
Arggh, I won't count on it. Anyway thanks for your info
What is the name of the street where they sell lime, chilli, ginger etc?
I don't know-hopefully some else can answer that for you.
All the way american narrator's tone of talking is radiating his love of this culture , but at 8:18 he can't help himself not to say "I am getting headache by these honkings!"....he is right....but it seems craziness is universal ..in usa you don't hear these crazy honkings , though you hear pretty too often loud modified mufflers...I love american accent and such people ,but loud mufflers give me headache too!
hi, what month was this shot? :)
It was around February/March a few years ago.
Andy's Awesome Adventures thanks!
Yes you can control the weather
I like to eat Vietnamese street food but those low stools are a challenge for me being a 100-kg huge guy with knee-cap problems.
That is interesting that so many countries have the tradition of selling some of their food items like spices or beans or like that in tall standing open bags 5:43 ...this tradition is common through many countries all the way from arabs and turkey and middle east and central asia to far east asian countries like vietnam and others...also some latin american countries...I think you never see this tradition in western countries of europe and usa or australia and canada and etc....btw narrator's american accent gives sort of validity to their culture
You forgot to mention how horrible the smell of fermented fish sauce is (to most Westerners)! :p
Great video, but you're rather easily squicked out, aren't you?
+Leigh Fellner Yes, but not as bad as I used to be. :)
Looks dirty n chaotic
Damn I want some dog meat now!
People with weak stomachs are not my problem. Thats their issue. I can watch a live frog getting chopped up all day. Nothing wrong with these scenes. Im desensitized. Some of us humans crave all kinds of delicacies. This is animal meat for me. I am carnivorous. I love my protein! Frogs yum yum.
I live in HCM City and never come to HANOI because I don " t like this City....
Kim Chi fuck you
I've been HCMC & Hanoi ..I like Hanoi more than HCMC ....much more !!
Visiting there in a day or two, looks like colonialism, communism and capitalism all mashed together, awesome XD
+Michael Martin Thank you and enjoy!
