Not sure anyone has been reached out by her or her account via Telegram personally. I added her on my Telegram, and she asked me to invest money. This should be a scam.
That IS a scam and it's not her. Many of these TH-camrs are victims of these scammers invading their comment sections trying to scam their subscribers.
I love the way Vietnamese people respect their ancestors. I was in Vietnam in September with my bạn gái to visit her family and every single relative or friend we visited had a huge, beautiful altar honouring their ancestors. Such a beautiful tradition! Also at mealtimes we'd often put an extra bowl and pair of chopsticks on the table so they could eat too
Van, Thank You for sharing this lovely video. Pray your life will be smooth sailing after all your prayer rituals. Best Wishes moving forward. Take care ❤️
Once again you present a very timely message. Your positive outlook on life is so refreshing. I know your Mom and Family, as well as myself are all very proud of you. Being Positive, with compassion and empathy not only for others, but yourself is so important. Congratulations on being the Very Special Soul that you have become. I look forward to hearing more about the culture and personal way of life of the Vietnamese. I’m looking so forward to returning.
@@WhatThePho OMG. I thought something kind of weird like maybe she sold her channel and she didn't want to traveling and promoting VietNamese culture anymore. Because she always post new video every Friday. It's so great that she back
Keeping some lucky crystals and charms helps too! Plus positivity plays a big part too. I kept looking out for your new video for quite some time n finally u got one new vid! Post often ok? 💕 from Singapore
As a foreigner living and working in a Tibetan monastery being built outside of Đà Lạt, it was interesting to learn about Vietnamese rituals, and to hear your reflections on learning about them. Although, I myself, as a deeply engaged Tibetan Buddhist for many years, also, do a lot of rituals and prayers, I sometimes, due to my western academic and scientific background, question their efficacy, as well. Still, I think your reflection that it brings you closer to your mother and your culture is a valid and poignant one; and I would say, they bring a certain level of peace and mindfulness to one's life as well. Thank you for your videos on Vietnamese culture and best of luck on your spiritual journey!
Life is full of ups and downs....it is how you go through them that allows you to grow as a person. It is good that you are open to spiritual influences. It doesnt help to be negative and closed to the universe. Good health and happiness for you.
Hi Van, love your vids. I was first in nam in 92 and bought lacquerware of Fuk Lok Sau (Phúc Lộc Thọ). When I hung them, I put them in the wrong order and Sau was in the middle. I sh t you not, sitting there watching TV and Sau flew off the wall. But the clip was still fixed. I put him on the right side and 20min later he flew off the wall from the new position. The same clips were still fixed, and the lacquerware is quite heavy, so it had to be raised to get off the hook. Suffice to say, both my Chinese and Vietnamese friends all told me to get out of the house after that
Hi van nice to see your video. We were wondering what happened. Anyway welcome back and please keep making more new videos for us. We also have a question for you. On your next video. Can you translate the word (khach sao) in english. Thanks. We're looking forward to your next video.
we have a similar superstition やくどし but it's a year not 3 years😅 anyway so happy to see you're back! hope your cool new alter will bring you much happiness and a huge success!
Thanks for the informative and helpful video and your shared thoughts. Coincidentally I am also was born in the same year as you. Also, this year I've experienced a lot of challenges and setbacks in terms of my career. However, it is finally going forward! I was wondering if the altar has changed your life in a positive way so far?
Watching and following you for a period of time, it makes me excited and a little bit surprised to see you made a video about this kinda topic. From a perspective of a young person, I think this topic will bring helpful information not only to foreigners who want to learn about Vietnamese culture but also to the young generation in our country in this Western-oriented times. The little detail that also made me surprised is you were reading TNH books. Famous spiritual leader all over the world is Vietnamese, and that's made me proud to be Vietnamese too.
Since you explained superstitions and rituals Can you talk about the counting steps culture, the sinh - lão - bệnh - tử? I think it would cool to talk about it, also from what I've learned this practice is unique to Vietnam too. Anyways, I hope you be safe out there and have a great time!
Hi Van good to see you again i also believe in superstitions it help me i was pray for my driving licence and i make it through and glad i am very happy about it i look forward to your next video
Hi Van , glad to see you back again. Hope everything will be better soon. Wish you all the best. Yes, I am quite interested to see the Vietnamese ritual that is done in the temple. That I had witnessed when I visited Vietnam. I don't know what it's called but the story goes something regarding the emperor got his wish by getting a daughter. Very sorry if I got the story wrong.
@@WhatThePho pls do more hcmc street food, cafe hopping n moree hidden stuffs. I'm sure there's lots more to discover. Even can do tourist traps n wat not
@@WhatThePho Sorry to hear about the unfortunate occurrences happened at your work. I have an idea that can take your name and channel to the next level...and it doesn't cost you a thing. As a matter of fact, you would probably make way more than the contract you lost. If you're interested to hear about what it is, let me know. Cheers! ✌️
This beautiful 🤴 is back 😍. Need a Prince quickly to show up at her doorstep before she decides to disappear again - this time into a monastery and for good, to escape the bad luck. 😭
Hey Vân! Yes - I would love to see more videos on religion / belief / superstition in Viet Nam. I'm more spiritual than religious, and I'm also not very superstitious - but videos like these always get me some mileage in helping me understand my own mindset, as well as better understanding my dad's side of the family. Thanks again for all that you do, and keep up the amazing work! Your impact is more than you know. 😀
In india there is Festival called Vishu where people used to prepare similar Altar and the offerings are called "vishukani". Vietnam had once practised Hinduism. I can be so sure after watching your Videos.
i really like your videos, it's very helpful for me to learn vietnamese culture by English, hopefully in a near future i can see more your videos with English subtitle, it will help the vietnamese people who love learning English have a good way to improve their english Skill
Hi Van, thank you so much for the many videos about the Vietnamese culture. The videos are interesting and it makes me feel good to watch them! I am not really superstitious, but I do believe in the Law of Attraction. This law says that what you focus on (the most), that is what you get. For example, if you really try to see the positive side of your business and if you are grateful for your business, the chances are greater that you will take some sort of action that will improve your business. I wish you good luck!
Hi Van, I'm old enough to understand exactly what you are going through. My current situation is ten times worst than yours. I won't say whether I agree or disagree all the rituals they performed at your home. I once went into a furniture store in VN, I wanted to get some furniture, but the owner and the employee completely ignored me. It was (early) morning and they were in the middle of some ritual to ask God to bless them with many customers for the day. Hello? I'm a customer. I need some furniture, i'm ready and willing to buy. It was kinda comical how they ignored me while I sat and waited patiently. I can't give you any advice, but I do know there are four seasons in a year. And this too, whatever it is, shall pass. You are young, beautiful, talented. You have a bright future. (...i don't fight a losing battle)
I personally take it this way: How the store staffs treated you has nothing to do with who you are. It is simply because they are in the middle of a ritual, that THEY believe in and practice on a regular basis. This mean that the ritual require some physical, mental (and probably spiritual too) focus. Think it like when someone is talking to another person about something important. You don't just want to cut into their conversation right? Therefore, if I were in your shoes, I would not get too upset about that. Sending you some happiness your way and hope you get goos news soon!
it shares a similar tradition with the southern China. We worship our ancestors by igniting the incense and lighting the red lamp or candle in the 1st day and 15th day of month (初一十五）of lunar calendar.
Hi Van, greetings. So glad to see you coming back. I despite being a Science, Literature, and Engineering Student, I was at some points made to kneel down upon the predictions made by the soothsayer or the fortune teller. Henceforth I started believing the core values of religion and predictions. My zodiac is Leo and later I knew that if our horoscope is written as per exact time of birth, day, month, position of stars-planets etc., what the fire tellers say turn out to be true. Again I appreciated your mom for performing on behalf of your well-being and prosperity. Hard to find such respected mom Wishing your every success in your life.
Hey Van Vu ! Thank you for all your videos ! As a french guy that will live for a whole year in Hanoi, discovering your channel fel like discovering pure gold ! As a vegetarian, I would love to get some indications of places to eat, or dishes to try which may not always be covered by regular tourist guides, and get the point of view of a local on this topic Do you plan to do a video on this subject? Since you have to periodicaly follow a vegan diet, I'm sure your take on this subject would be a great help for me and people in my situation! Thank you in advance for your answer!
Hey, salut ! (I'll speak in English so that others may understand easier) Also going to Vietnam soon (in a couple of days actually), how do you plan on staying a whole year? Did you manage a work visa?
Hey Steve, actually no, I'll go to Hanoï for my studies. I'm a student in international law in Toulouse, and my 2nd year of master's degree is relocated in Hanoï!
Hi Van, Sorry to hear what's happened to you the past month and I hope things do get better in your life. I myself am also not superstitious so would avoid fortune tellers at all costs, as some tend to mingle with magic & send bad spirits to follow you to cause harm... Try to stay safe and don't be afraid of these spirits. All the best
glad you're fine ... now I understand why business have an altar in their stores, I do wear a large jade laughing buddha in New Year & when I feel I need protection outside of home ... we're not superstitions but we do visit temple few time a year since our mom, dad in there
Lol hey Van this video is super relatable to me right now. I’ve been in Vietnam for 6 weeks now and heading back home next week. When I was staying at cousins house they had the same type of alter. Actually all of my relatives have an alter like this and more. I actually went to get my fortune told too. I went to a Buddhist temple to sinh xăm. I’m not sure if I spelled that correctly but it’s where you go to pray and shake a can of fortune sticks until one falls out. And then use that stick to get it interpreted by a fortune teller person. Lol but yeah I saw this video and saw it as super relatable. I hope your luck turns around and everything gets better for you! ✊🏼 And it would be super cool to meet you one day if you ever host meetups in Vietnam. Take care!
I'm not superstitious at all, but I am a Christian and very spiritual in my beliefs. Your video's about Vietnam and your culture have been very interesting. I've learned alot keep them coming.
Well, I think the letters on the tablet behind the statues are Vietnamese graphic letters, not Chinese letters instead, may be called "chữ Nôm", you know.
I wish there were more sources for Vietnamese zodiac in english. I am learning Vietnamese for almost a year but the chinese zodiac stuff uses so many terms i never heard of. I got one of those calendars and was so confused why there was an onion of the day
I really enjoy your video. I'm probably way outside your normal age group as I'm a 61 year old guy from Texas...but my wife and I are going to Vietnam for the first time next month and we can't wait!
I loved your video 📹 , my name is Natalia 👋, I am Argentina 🇦🇷 from Buenos Aires, but I will be living in Hanoi 🇻🇳 with my husband 👨 and my dog 🐶 for the next 5 years! We have been here for 6 months and we love the culture, the people of Vietnam 💖! This is our first time in Asia! We learn about Vietnam every day! We love Vietnamese food 😋! I'm a bit superstitious, I'm a catholic, so I try to respect everything related to my religion! I'm reading about the history of Vietnam and then I'll start with their religion! I wish you all the best vibes for your projects and life! Grettings from Hanoi!✌️
Hi Van..., "WOW..., what a great video !" From me to you; "May all your hopes and dreams come true."

Hello Van !

I was looking for apartment and one which I found with locals had a big altar. It was huge - like for all wall. Rental apartments didn't had altars.
It's just how life goes sometimes. Don't read into it, just keep on keeping on and be good to others
Hope everything is ok n getting better for you
Hello em gai, khoe khg, good to have you back …aloha.
Please all of the above, Vietnam sounds so interesting. I love your title to your channel , What the Pho...😂😂😂

Omg! Really? I wish it was only one year haha. Thanks Shunchan for your support!
I was also told its 3 years and I did go through 3 years of bad luck. My bad luck went away right on new year of the 4th year.

Thanks for your time. Yes I believe good things will come when we try our best.
Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for your support!!
I just learned the Vietnamese word for 'sky' is the same as the word for 'supernatural'. I love stuff like that.
Wow 😊
It’s been a while for you to upload your videos. You are still a blooming rose ❤.

Can you talk about the counting steps culture, the sinh - lão - bệnh - tử? I think it would cool to talk about it, also from what I've learned this practice is unique to Vietnam too.

Hello Van ! Can you explain the importance of Lotus 🪷 in Vietnam : a strong symbol of Boudhism ( renaissance, karma , difficulties of this world , purity and happiness research, way to sun - elevation and way to become better and better with other persons, animals, nature … ) ? Please tell us 🙏 Thanks ☺️

I wondered what happens to food offerings - glad you are allowed to eat them!
My Asian zodiac is Ox. I'm not a superstitious person but...judging by my personality I think I have some affinities with that zodiac's energy.
