Lmao you made it like we haven't seen any white people 😂 white are not rare in Vietnam anymore especially blonde 😂 Latino is rare tho not much chica here , lot of white girl tho 😉
It's actually really easy to do. Most people are friendly as well as curious. As long as you're friendly back you make friends incredibly easy in foreign countries.
Oh well, Kurt is the kind of guy who makes friends out of anyone, very laid back and talkative person, y también muy guapo lol. Te concedería un baile, Kurt 💃 Afectuosamente, Marisol.
- show up to Vietnamese ceremony in a military uniform - take the donation envelope and leave Really bringing the 1970 experience to the next generation, Kurt 😂
Daaaamn. Really? That was for donations? And he pocket it? 😄That's a new lvl of awkwardness reached. 😅 It's like you go into a hindu temple eat all the coconuts people bring with them and then leave with an innocent smile
In the last part, the family said they ran out of pho (it was late at night so they were sitting down for dinner) and the rice was "com rang" which translates literally to fried rice haha. The reason the rice tasted so good was because the best fried rice is made from day old rice so it taste crispier than you'd get from fresh rice. The guy's wife made you food from their kitchen as if you're a long lost relative that just stumbled in :)
@@siralexander3359 That guy was drunk or something, I'm Vietnamese & I couldn't make out what he was saying. Only thing I catch is at the end he's saying the ladies didn't believe he could speak English so he tried to speak Russian + gibberish to seem like he knows a bit of English I guess haha.
You just gotta put yourself out there dude! Kurt and people like Kurt don’t wait for things to come to them they go and seek it out. People are attracted to confidence
Hi Kurt ! Welcome to VN . You were actually one of the rare Westerners who got the chance to attend that religious ceremony . That religion is an old traditional belief in VN , called Dao Tho Mâu ( the worshipping of the Mother Goddesses ) . The lady who was dancing on the stage is a spirit medium .Back at that moment she was possessed by the spirit of Ong Hoang Muoi ( the 10th Prince of Heaven ) , the deity who gives wealth and success in life to the attending persons . So keep the lucky money in the envelope that the other lady gave you . That unique to VN religion is recognized as an intangible cultural world heritage by UNESCO .
@@KurtCaz The facts you’ve taught us through sheer confidence is admirable to say the very least! A pioneer of this TH-cam Generation, I’m 30 and admire you bro (not that age is anything) just keep being you bro, as you know! People always respond to the real sh*t! ❤️ if you get a chance of seeing this, what’s your Spotify playlist! Or your fav songs if you could let me slip into your mind for a few 😎😊❤️
Fucking love how you strolled into that wedding and they all had a look on their face as if they had been waiting for you 😂 Man Vietnamese people are so friendly and welcoming. Love it.
I knew it! I was in Ho Chi Minh during Tet and we were staying at the same hotel. I saw you during breakfast each day. I didn't want to approach you just to respect your privacy. It must be hard being a YT celebrity. Anyways, my Fiancé lives there and I have fallen in love with the Vietnamese people and the culture. Love your content Kurt!
That explains why the streets were so empty because everyone shuts down for tet new years and goes backto their country side where they're from celebrating with family members
Hi Kurt Caz, I'm Vietnamese, I've been following you for a long time, I'm glad you came to Vietnam. When you come to the capital Hanoi, if possible we will meet and I will invite you to some food Vietnamese specialties. Nice to meet you.

@KunichayI'm vietnamese and i have no idea either lmfao. First time seeing whatever that it. Probably some kind of old tradition that's exist only in the northern region. I live in the south tho, so no clue.
The guy sitting at the sugarcane stand was trying real hard to talk haha. He was saying mostly that we as foreigners don't have the bongs and cane juice, I suppose that's just his was of being like this is some special stuff. Then the cane lady started telling him there is no chance you understand what the guy was saying, kinda funny to listen to because the guy was just slurring so much that I really couldn't understand some of what he was trying to say.
Let me reclarify the situation a bit more because its been bugging me not being able to understand what he's trying to say haha. The guy is trying to slip in english/russian words, sometimes it ends up being a big ol' slur of a bunch of words or he's got a pre-notation of how English words are meant to be. For example alot of people like to say good as goot. My assumption is that my family has just been too lazy to actually pronounce the D, but it may as well be a pre-notation because I hear plenty from the country side people speaking in such a way. You can hear him say "capital" with a t sound at the end, same idea. Again though alot of it really is just him saying gibberish because viet people who just don't care speak in a sort of gestured and short sounds sorta way. Almost like saying hmm for every little thing. It's quirky nontheless and they try, can't fault em for not trying yknow. Another thing, he was pointing to the other side of the road and saying that there's a hotel with a 5 star casino.
Hats off to Kurt, I’ve watched a hundred Vietnam travel vlogs and this was the only authentic one. Huge language barrier, but seems like they want to welcome visitors.
Vietnamese people are one of the most friendliest and hard working people on this planet. Every country has some vietnamese immigrants and in every of these countries they never made any problems and always work hard! Respect to the people of Vietnam!!!🎉
Immigrants in general are less likely to cause problems and they work hard. Back then, when many came in the 70's, there was the same xenophobia with them as we see with other nationalities now.
Best channel on youtube by far. Kurt is so amazing to watch confidently navigate a complete foreign nation and make so many genuine connections. I loved this episode!
I love your videos man. You are super chill, respectful to locals and know how to handle every situation. Keep up the good work, thanks for your videos and enjoy your travels.
The Americans did not want Ho Chi Minh to unify the country under communism as they were scared of "the domino theory", so they waged a brutal war against them. It is estimated that over 3 million Vietnamese lost their lives
@@Heihachi8 America was a different country pre 1950. It wasn't until after this that they started trying to manipulate many countries politics and getting governments in power that they "approved" of
17:24 he was calling you handsome lmao then asked if you were walking to your destination. I’m so glad you get to travel my home country! Hope you enjoy Kurt!
Kurt really makes me just keep loving the world!! He shows how the vast majority of the world is just friendly living their lives and loves to incorporate visitors into their lives! Thanks Kurt for just going into every situation!

@@urdad6235 no not racist. If you're black they will be more curious about your hair than anything else because it looks sp different. But they will treat you on the same human level as them. Vietnamese people in the US are more racist due to living in close proximity to ghetto areas (but this is an issue with crime more than an issue with race). Vietnamese in Vietnam are more race-neutral to other people more so than most Americans.
I’m so glad you went to VN, thank you so much Kurt for showing to the people my beautiful country. As a vietnamese borned and raised abroad, i can say i’m very proud of my people.
@@kameemyeu8623 I stumbled across Kurt’s channel while looking for those guys who explore abandoned mansions. I first saw Kurt sweaty, unable to really ride that motorbike on a back road in DR. He was wearing a helmet. So it was the beaches and scenery that initially caught my attention. Then I realized Kurt was putting out real content & substance so I went back & watched all his earlier uploads. Took me forever as I work 6 days a week. He’s easy on the eyes, but he’s real & he’s genuine. He doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Even when folks in foreign lands piss him off, he isn’t an asshat to them & he basically walks off. I can admire that. He calls them on their BS when they’re trying to rip him off. I seriously feel he’s the only TH-camr out there that goes where he goes, is inquisitive about each place, & truly wants to understand their customs & their people. Not to mention that street food & local beer. I’m just hooked. I wish he’d compete on MTV’s The Challenge.
You’re so inspiring I have been suffering from depression an your videos are helping me see life from a new perspective I really appreciate you more then you can imagine
That's very cool. Last year I had to go spend some time in a psychiatric hospital. I couldn't function normally and suffered some severe depression. It was watching his videos over and over that got me through until I got some help and got better. It's so nice to hear he's helping you too. Please reach out and I hope you feel better soon.
Sailing up as nr.1 vlogger on youtube. Amazing content - lovely and honest people and culture. Beautiful country - with it's harsh and tested history... Vietnamese people are hardworkers with balls of steel and a heart of gold. Love from Norge
A great demonstration of just being good people that don't speak the same language can have positive shared human experiences. Brilliant as usual Kurt!
This is so much more entertaining then watching some bulls*it tv show or some third rate movie. Just absolute great content. I also appreciate that Kurt is uploading long videos most recently.
And we think that getting “Followers” and “Likes” is an admirable way to live life…. It’s crazy how a Single smart phone has changed the world forever.. But Kurt shows us that there is still a way to live Life the actual way it was meant to be. Thanks man
Hi Kurt my name is Ali, I'm from Vietnam and I've never been there, thanks to your videos I can see with my eyes my country from kilometres away, you're great for what you do, show the culture of every country spontaneous and genuine, as you live your travels are to be admired, continue so you are truly a person open to the whole world if you feel prejudice
About 70.000 almost in the south In 15th Vietnam nowadays included Dai Viet in the north and Champa in the south Then the north expanded to south. Champa relied on Bramah( Hinduism) but after collapsing her offspring , the Cham ethnic was changed. Cham in the Central still kept traditional religion but ones who live in Southern now are Muslims
kurt the vietnam adventures have to have been my fav of yours so far. i like how you travel across the country on a bike. it allows me to see deep into the country rather than just the cities!
My exwife is Vietnamese and I have a half Viet daughter. They’re very hardworking people. My mother in law fled the communists in the mid 80’s and got to America with 5 kids, no husband, and no English. She still works her ass off at 75 years old. All 4 of my brother in laws own nail salons and do very well. They’re very matriarchal and still all gather at mom’s house to cook together, etc.. My daughter is 10 and is bilingual in English and Vietnamese. My exwife and I have been divorced for years, but we get along great and coparent amicably, so I’m still around her family frequently and they treat me no different than when we were married. Just some loyal, humble, family oriented people. Ps- I can’t believe you wore that soldier getup in public lol Edit: I forgot to mention my former mother in law is Buddhist. In her living room there’s an entire wall that’s a shrine dedicated to her dead relatives. It has a Buddha statue, individual pictures of all of her relatives with electric candles that light them all the time, incense burners, all kinds of trinkets and mementos, and she puts out fresh fruit on plates for them every few days. It was cool watching her do her Buddhist thing as I’m always fascinated by other religions, traditions, etc.. The Vietnamese are also very ceremonial.
dude i love kurt interaction with people, makes it way easier for me to ease the burden of how people mistreating each other, keep it up man, stay safe, much love
One of the best videos you've done Kurt. I've always been fascinated with Vietnam and you showed it incredibly well. I do find it funny though that after all the traveling you've done, you never picked up any chop stick skills lol
It’s really inspiring Kurt to see you walking around everywhere, curious to find new stuff. You are a good example of the mindset you gotta have to travel like this
Hi, i m Vietnamese i can help translate some for you, the man with the big pipe Kurt met on the side street and later bought 2 sugar cane drinks after took a sip of raw cigaret from the giant pipe, he spoke a lot but i couldn't understand a word, i think he spoke Russian, he thought Kurt is Russian because there are many Russian live in VN. The restaurant with people were having dinner, the men also spoke a lot and the same as before I couldn't understand any of the words that they said.
@daoduytu first of all you can be proud being Vietnamese, very friendly people. Very welcoming even though there's that language barrier! amazing thing. Wouldn't be a thing here in Europe usually. The guy whom you were speaking of, I was also wondering what he said since he spoke all the time. I know Russian (non native speaker), the only Russian word I heard was Spacibo ) the rest didn't sound even slavic. )) maybe he was just very drunk/high/dialect speaking or whatever. Fun encounter though!
Kurt! I’ve made it, I have watched from your first video up until now. Enjoyed the travels in each video. Looking forward rolling with you thru Vietnam, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy the way you do but keep traveling. Cảm ơn! 🇺🇸
Holy shiznet. Kurt really got himself in it this time. Love to watch the random shenanigans. Absolute legend. Also: Wearing a WW2 - Vietnam Era American Helmet is crazy being white in Vietnam to me hahaha
I think we have around 50 thousand Vietnamese people leaving in Poland that are kind, hard working people who actually care enough to learn our incredibly difficult language ❤️ I’m glad you got to try the best food ever, while tickling my nostalgia vibes from few years back in Vietnam.
Yeah I 100% agree with you I live in orange county California we have the highest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and they are some of the nicest hardworking people ive seen.
Hello, chef from Poland here. I can confirm, I used to work in a burger restaurant in Szczecin and one of the waitresses was Vietnamese. Her name was May. Super friendly, we always had a laugh during the shifts and during rush hours she worked hard. Best regards to you Vietnamese people from Poland. I hope that one day I will be lucky enough to visit your country!
@@JJMR3000welcome you to Vietnam, hope some day you can visit our lovely country, Vietnam is developing country but our culture is respecting the guest come to visit with warmly heart😊
@@HungTranLe-kp8up thanks, Poland is also a developing eastern Europe country. I understand the struggle and the hard work that needs to be put in it's development. All the best. Cảm ơn !
That wedding scene was hilarious. Keep the good work Kurt! You are the only one making long form of videos that I actually watch from the beginning to the end.
It is a religious ceremony call Hầu đồng in which the band play music and sing songs about the saint and cô đồng who wear colorful clothes dances to describe how the saint is At the extreme she may throw money note to the attendants and because Kurt come too early or lately so she gives him a lucky bag
After this video, Vietnam is definitely on my list, not because of the country but because the people seem like very wonderful kind-hearted honest people. Love from an Algerian.
The impressive thing is after being caught between two superpowers they didn't adopt a victim complex like Iran, etc. They built a good economy even with the eventual help of the US. But they didn't really win the war against the US. The US left. They had signed a peace treaty with the US and when Nixon left office they broke the treaty and invaded the South. This was after US combat troops had been gone for more than a year. There were only around 1000 special forces advisors.
It's an amazing place, one of the most beautiful countries I've been to. And yes, you will find abundant hospitality 😊 Get a bike and travel the country, there's no better way to do it!
Damn man! I really enjoy your videos! A bit of history while u explore. Living the best life 🙏❤️ Respect what you do! Best on youtube 🙏 wish u the best ❤️
As someone currently travelling in Vietnam this video was so funny but also inspiring. Kurt travels in the best way possible, just flinging his way into any situation he can.
Thank you for this video. Even though it was outrageous and funny it made me think of my deceased dad. He was a Vietnam vet, and I never really knew too much about the country of Vietnam. Your video showed me a snapshot of daily life in Vietnam in an interesting way only you can provide. Thank you for your conten. It is great and your free spirit is inspiring!
I check your page every day to see if you’ve uploaded - I can’t explain why but your videos really make me feel good about life man! wishing you all the best Kurt!

That Huge Tent with Lights, and Curtains tied back was Beautiful inside! Great Job to the People who Created that. ❤💯
What was he supposed to do with the envelope?
@@urdad6235 no not racist. If you're black they will be more curious about your hair than anything else because it looks sp different. But they will treat you on the same human level as them. Vietnamese people in the US are more racist due to living in close proximity to ghetto areas (but this is an issue with crime more than an issue with race). Vietnamese in Vietnam are more race-neutral to other people more so than most Americans.
Only Kurt could stumble upon a bonfire and end up gatecrashing a sacred ceremony 😂 you never cease to amaze me 👏🏼
I’m so glad you went to VN, thank you so much Kurt for showing to the people my beautiful country. As a vietnamese borned and raised abroad, i can say i’m very proud of my people.
I love vietnam, one of the greatest travel that i ever made. Every vietnamese treat me so kind and happy to help me
What I admire most about Kurt is that he doesn’t ask for likes or followers. We just do it.
The worst the channel, the more they ask for likes n subscribes. Bad sign
The more they ask the less likely I'll sub, 😂
Facts
We like and follow just because he is handsome. Lets face it
@@kameemyeu8623 I stumbled across Kurt’s channel while looking for those guys who explore abandoned mansions.
I first saw Kurt sweaty, unable to really ride that motorbike on a back road in DR. He was wearing a helmet. So it was the beaches and scenery that initially caught my attention.
Then I realized Kurt was putting out real content & substance so I went back & watched all his earlier uploads. Took me forever as I work 6 days a week.
He’s easy on the eyes, but he’s real & he’s genuine. He doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Even when folks in foreign lands piss him off, he isn’t an asshat to them & he basically walks off. I can admire that. He calls them on their BS when they’re trying to rip him off.
I seriously feel he’s the only TH-camr out there that goes where he goes, is inquisitive about each place, & truly wants to understand their customs & their people. Not to mention that street food & local beer.
I’m just hooked.
I wish he’d compete on MTV’s The Challenge.
Thank you for adding the history of the places you visit! Makes your great videos even more enjoyable as well as educational! 😊
So amazing he just goes / gets invited into a random ceremony I love it. This guys a true adventurer
You’re so inspiring I have been suffering from depression an your videos are helping me see life from a new perspective I really appreciate you more then you can imagine
Stay strong
Good on you you are the one making your life better I did it years ago it only gets better from now on
Keep it up
Hey brother,
A man needs a mission.
🌙
That's very cool. Last year I had to go spend some time in a psychiatric hospital. I couldn't function normally and suffered some severe depression. It was watching his videos over and over that got me through until I got some help and got better. It's so nice to hear he's helping you too. Please reach out and I hope you feel better soon.
I don't have time to travel, so I live vicariously through Kurt
That’s sad
That’s sad living life thru another man’s eyes
@@osamabidenobama8240It’s a joke dude, I have a very fulfilling life. I just don’t travel much. It’s not that deep.
Pretty sad living off another person’s adventures. Youll die old knowing you looked thru life thru someone elses eyes lmao
@@JohnWicksPencil14its kinda pathetic bro you wasn’t kidding 💀💀
Sailing up as nr.1 vlogger on youtube. Amazing content - lovely and honest people and culture. Beautiful country - with it's harsh and tested history... Vietnamese people are hardworkers with balls of steel and a heart of gold. Love from Norge
A great demonstration of just being good people that don't speak the same language can have positive shared human experiences. Brilliant as usual Kurt!
Vietnamese are really kind people. Brings back alot of memories ❤
I agree. My time there in 2017 was great.
@okidoke4822 My time in the 60's was full of budweiser beer and dope.
@@Azdude801no local girls ? : 0
They are kind but a lot talk behind your back. They're known to be fairly racist towards each other as well
@@UmdogTRWhat a stupid question ffs.
Just an humble opinion from an ordinary Italian guy: Kurt videos are the most interesting on TH-cam.
100% best travel videos. Cool guy as well
Carpe Diem!
Good on you Kurt. This is the only way to travel - on the streets, with the local people. Love it!
Been watching your channel for quite sometime! It's a very informative channel and inspired us to start our own!
This is so much more entertaining then watching some bulls*it tv show or some third rate movie. Just absolute great content. I also appreciate that Kurt is uploading long videos most recently.
Kurt likes to visit other countries in hard mode by refusing to utilize a translator app on a phone
I love the little historical segments. Just brilliant content!
And we think that getting “Followers” and “Likes” is an admirable way to live life…. It’s crazy how a Single smart phone has changed the world forever.. But Kurt shows us that there is still a way to live Life the actual way it was meant to be. Thanks man
Hi Kurt my name is Ali, I'm from Vietnam and I've never been there, thanks to your videos I can see with my eyes my country from kilometres away, you're great for what you do, show the culture of every country spontaneous and genuine, as you live your travels are to be admired, continue so you are truly a person open to the whole world if you feel prejudice
Are there muslims in Vietnam?
@@apexchaotic7976 A small percentage
About 70.000 almost in the south In 15th Vietnam nowadays included Dai Viet in the north and Champa in the south Then the north expanded to south. Champa relied on Bramah( Hinduism) but after collapsing her offspring , the Cham ethnic was changed. Cham in the Central still kept traditional religion but ones who live in Southern now are Muslims
What part of China is Vietnam in
For example my mum is Buddhist and my dad Muslim
"You can take a dump and have a shower at the same time. Amazing technology they have here" I died 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
great to see consistent uploads Kurt!
kurt the vietnam adventures have to have been my fav of yours so far. i like how you travel across the country on a bike. it allows me to see deep into the country rather than just the cities!
My exwife is Vietnamese and I have a half Viet daughter. They’re very hardworking people. My mother in law fled the communists in the mid 80’s and got to America with 5 kids, no husband, and no English. She still works her ass off at 75 years old. All 4 of my brother in laws own nail salons and do very well. They’re very matriarchal and still all gather at mom’s house to cook together, etc.. My daughter is 10 and is bilingual in English and Vietnamese. My exwife and I have been divorced for years, but we get along great and coparent amicably, so I’m still around her family frequently and they treat me no different than when we were married. Just some loyal, humble, family oriented people.
Ps- I can’t believe you wore that soldier getup in public lol
Edit: I forgot to mention my former mother in law is Buddhist. In her living room there’s an entire wall that’s a shrine dedicated to her dead relatives. It has a Buddha statue, individual pictures of all of her relatives with electric candles that light them all the time, incense burners, all kinds of trinkets and mementos, and she puts out fresh fruit on plates for them every few days. It was cool watching her do her Buddhist thing as I’m always fascinated by other religions, traditions, etc.. The Vietnamese are also very ceremonial.
Thank you for sharing that's cool you still get along 😃
What's your ex @.?

dude i love kurt interaction with people, makes it way easier for me to ease the burden of how people mistreating each other, keep it up man, stay safe, much love
Just came home from work at midnight!! so great to watch this and relax. Thanks so much for this Vietnam yourney. cheers mate on tin beers :-)
One of the best videos you've done Kurt. I've always been fascinated with Vietnam and you showed it incredibly well. I do find it funny though that after all the traveling you've done, you never picked up any chop stick skills lol
This is by far the best travel channel EVER. Pure Gold. Keep it up Kurt.
Sitting on the bus right now from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Min City and I’m really excited to explore Vietnam. Great video Kurt!
Thank you for another video 🙏🏾
the photographer was late and they thought you were him. LOL!!!!
It’s really inspiring Kurt to see you walking around everywhere, curious to find new stuff.
You are a good example of the mindset you gotta have to travel like this
I wish someone can add subtitle to the people speaking Vietnamese, I really want to know what they are saying to you haha
Same lol
Hi, i m Vietnamese i can help translate some for you, the man with the big pipe Kurt met on the side street and later bought 2 sugar cane drinks after took a sip of raw cigaret from the giant pipe, he spoke a lot but i couldn't understand a word, i think he spoke Russian, he thought Kurt is Russian because there are many Russian live in VN. The restaurant with people were having dinner, the men also spoke a lot and the same as before I couldn't understand any of the words that they said.
@daoduytu first of all you can be proud being Vietnamese, very friendly people. Very welcoming even though there's that language barrier! amazing thing. Wouldn't be a thing here in Europe usually. The guy whom you were speaking of, I was also wondering what he said since he spoke all the time. I know Russian (non native speaker), the only Russian word I heard was Spacibo ) the rest didn't sound even slavic. )) maybe he was just very drunk/high/dialect speaking or whatever. Fun encounter though!
Someone did above check the top comments
@@daoduytu lol.. "I speak vietnamese, I can help.." proceeds to explain how they don't understand.
Kurt! I’ve made it, I have watched from your first video up until now. Enjoyed the travels in each video. Looking forward rolling with you thru Vietnam, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy the way you do but keep traveling. Cảm ơn! 🇺🇸
I been waiting so long for you to travel Asia, can’t wait for more videos Kurt.
Holy shiznet. Kurt really got himself in it this time. Love to watch the random shenanigans. Absolute legend. Also: Wearing a WW2 - Vietnam Era American Helmet is crazy being white in Vietnam to me hahaha
After he ate the Pho, I thought that the men outside by the memorial plaque were eyeing him for his outfit.
The outfit is crazy lmao. Im sure the guy at that restaurant killed lots of dudes that looked like exactly like Kurt.
@@eazeazeaz probably lost a few friends and loved ones himself.
I think we have around 50 thousand Vietnamese people leaving in Poland that are kind, hard working people who actually care enough to learn our incredibly difficult language ❤️ I’m glad you got to try the best food ever, while tickling my nostalgia vibes from few years back in Vietnam.
Yeah I 100% agree with you I live in orange county California we have the highest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and they are some of the nicest hardworking people ive seen.
yep the vietnamese here in alberta canada are great as well. the food is UNREAL
Hello, chef from Poland here. I can confirm, I used to work in a burger restaurant in Szczecin and one of the waitresses was Vietnamese. Her name was May. Super friendly, we always had a laugh during the shifts and during rush hours she worked hard. Best regards to you Vietnamese people from Poland. I hope that one day I will be lucky enough to visit your country!
@@JJMR3000welcome you to Vietnam, hope some day you can visit our lovely country, Vietnam is developing country but our culture is respecting the guest come to visit with warmly heart😊
@@HungTranLe-kp8up thanks, Poland is also a developing eastern Europe country. I understand the struggle and the hard work that needs to be put in it's development. All the best. Cảm ơn !
LOL, Kurt rolls into a restaurant in a genuine GI uniform and shakes hands with a legit north Vietnam soldier that served. Legend!
Absolutely amazing video, hope its a series.
Kirt has a really great way of communicating with different cultures and races. It’s a priceless gift. Always a great watch.
That wedding scene was hilarious. Keep the good work Kurt! You are the only one making long form of videos that I actually watch from the beginning to the end.
It is a religious ceremony call Hầu đồng in which the band play music and sing songs about the saint and cô đồng who wear colorful clothes dances to describe how the saint is At the extreme she may throw money note to the attendants and because Kurt come too early or lately so she gives him a lucky bag
After this video, Vietnam is definitely on my list, not because of the country but because the people seem like very wonderful kind-hearted honest people. Love from an Algerian.
Agreed
The impressive thing is after being caught between two superpowers they didn't adopt a victim complex like Iran, etc. They built a good economy even with the eventual help of the US.
But they didn't really win the war against the US. The US left. They had signed a peace treaty with the US and when Nixon left office they broke the treaty and invaded the South. This was after US combat troops had been gone for more than a year. There were only around 1000 special forces advisors.
Your talking shit out of your ass Vietnam war you lost so much men and other asset in this war almost made US go bankrupt
@@RJT80stop coping lol
It's an amazing place, one of the most beautiful countries I've been to. And yes, you will find abundant hospitality 😊
Get a bike and travel the country, there's no better way to do it!
Damn man! I really enjoy your videos! A bit of history while u explore. Living the best life 🙏❤️ Respect what you do! Best on youtube 🙏 wish u the best ❤️
As someone currently travelling in Vietnam this video was so funny but also inspiring. Kurt travels in the best way possible, just flinging his way into any situation he can.
Thank you for this video. Even though it was outrageous and funny it made me think of my deceased dad. He was a Vietnam vet, and I never really knew too much about the country of Vietnam. Your video showed me a snapshot of daily life in Vietnam in an interesting way only you can provide. Thank you for your conten. It is great and your free spirit is inspiring!
I check your page every day to see if you’ve uploaded - I can’t explain why but your videos really make me feel good about life man! wishing you all the best Kurt!
Kurt definitely has a good mind set for travelling.
Love the videos of kurt and the country. Nothin beats em! Great vid, big dong!
Just got done going through a breakup and Kurt you remind me there’s a huge world out there.
Welcome to Vietnam brother. I’ve been waiting for so long for this Vietnam series.
Whats the best part of living in vietnam?
@@Nico-Diaz the best city for living, i will choose Da Nang, the most beautiful nature of vietnam, i think that is NORTHWEST VIETNAM, and the most friendly people, that is mekong delta river area
I'm going to Vietnam for the 1st time in early 2025, I've travelled to so many far away countries but this will be my 1st time. 3 weeks from north to south. Send me your fav spots, I'm backpacking so all suggestions welcome. Been waiting for this one Kurt 🙌
@@gree4816 I went through NW Vietnam and it was so gorgeous I cant imagine a prettier place
@@lookingfordiscovery u can search it online brother , its includes all of the best place . but the most important things for tourist is that u can be scam for stupid price, so ask the local for information, with that problem u are all set to go. and have a beautifull trip to VN mate
Kurt is such a likable guy. He gets invited to everything in every country, lol.
Thank you. I do it for the street
One of your best vids. Such awesome interactions.
Keep up the good work man 💪🏽
I’m easily one of your biggest fans boss, appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos, as usual! I get the notification and I save these bad boys for a later moment in my life where I’m able to fully enjoy them! Nice beer, lil weed and my feet up! After a nice workout preferably, I’m rambling now! But Kurt MF Caz! If there ever was the reason to call someone the GOAT, you are that reason sir ❤

I agree Kurt is dope but you don’t need to idolize the man shit
Hands down the best content in the history of media. Thanks for sharing the ride man
Really enjoyed this vid, and your openingness to do these things. You've gained yourself a subscriber
Wow! The ceremony was so special to be invited into! I loved that.
What wonderful and welcoming people. Really enjoyed this snippet, Kurt (no idea why it popped up in my feed, but I'm really enjoying your travels)
Best travel vlog yet mate.
Respectful yet trying everything.
I love Việt Nam.
Peak comedy tbh I haven’t laughed this hard at social misunderstandings while at the same time appreciated someone visiting Vietnam so much as Kurt made me felt watching this.
nowhere treats a guest better than in the orient. great culture and friendliness. Love from Europe
Thank you for coming and introducing us to Vietnam, we have always been a peace-loving and hospitable country. ❤❤❤
Vietnam is a beautiful country with wonderful, hard-working people and topnotch food! 🇻🇳
I think you can say that about all Asian countries..
Another great vid from Kurt ! We were just in Vietnam, go there every year. The people are nice, the food is excellent, and the country is beautiful.
Lekker Kurt. Extremely glad that I stumbled upon your channel. Hou aan met die goeie werk!!
Been to 7 cities in Vietnam a few months ago, one of the best travels of my life so far.
I've been watching you discovering so many countrys - Vietnam is one of the friendliest, most likeable places with the most peaceful atmosphere - an best food ❤
