HANOI, Vietnam - Thu the dog butcher can’t help but look like a B-movie villain. A half-smoked cigarette smolders between his lips. His boots are slick with canine blood. Worst of all, he keeps prodding dogs with a homemade shock baton. Thu is pacing around a brick-walled slaughterhouse in the outskirts of Hanoi. There are at least half a dozen dogs here, trembling inside wire cages, too terrified to bark. Thu zeroes in on a tawny mutt. He primes his DIY taser, a contraption powered by a motorbike battery and held together with electrical tape. “In just a minute,” Thu says mysteriously, “this dog will be white as snow.” It takes two jolts to turn it into a convulsing mess. Thu lifts its limp body by the neck with an iron clamp. He plops it onto a chopping board, jabs its throat with a small blade and slides a basin beneath its head to collect the blood. And then the dog somehow stands upright, zombie like, and takes a few steps. Thu is impressed by its half-dead defiance. “What is this,” he says, “a mountain dog?” He reaches for a iron rod. The cement floor of his abattoir resounds once, twice, with the sound of steel breaking skull. Dead at last, the dog is dunked into a vat of scalding water. Its fur melts off in clumps. Sure enough, dogs boiled bald are a brilliant shade of white. “See?” says Thu. “It’s as easy as bathing a child.” www.pri.org/stories/eat-prey-love-vietnam-s-dogs-double-family-members-and-dinner
Wow, I had no idea that Hanoi was such an interesting place. It seemed relatively relaxed, for a big city, and so clean. The train-track street was one of the coolest things I've ever seen (and again, so clean!).
Will be in vietnam in september with my husband mitchell and sister in law rachel Nice to watch videos from there See what it's like before we go Love that place - Train Street What an amazing video you made for us Love It Carlene M
Amazing effort Chris, keeping up the videos, while you are still wiped out from the food poisoning and flights. Poor Carol is shacked up with a hard task master.
Haha cheers mate, yeah to be honest being sick for 6 days meant i was able to edit all my pending videos and catch up! So that was the upside to it at least
The Vietnamese food looks CRAZY DELICIOUS!!! What is your favorite dish out there so far? Amazing video as these videos are about to make hit purchase for Vietnam tickets. Thank you!!!
We are going to veatnam in 2 weeks. Your videos have been a insperation to us both @ a great help. We followed Your vlog in Rio before We traveled & that was also great. Love watching Your vlogs guys keep up the great videos. Love Paul & jenny
The first meal at 3 min mark or so is bun cha ha noi and it’s served with grilled pork, so too bad you don’t eat meat since the pork is the star of that dish. Anthony Bourdain ate bun cha with Obama a few years ago, although not at that restaurant.
It's crazy to see how much you have both changed your filming style over the years, let alone how you've both "matured" or "aged"...I don't know how old you two are but after watching this video I'm guessing a whole hell of a lot younger than I originally thought haha. Watchable hours incoming from me.
It was actually the pizza we think, the cheese on it. When we arrived on gili trawangan there was no electricity the whole day so we probably got some rotten cheese :(
Chris - I would, if you could, reissue this video with Hanoi Train Street in the title or Vietnam Train Street - you will get many more views because a lot of people who watch youtube like to watch train videos (Rail Fans) and you could capture some of them who would then be introduced to your channel. I noticed with Gabriel Traveler, when he did videos from Scotland, he got the most views on his train trip from Scotland to England ...... I think you must have good karma for a train you didn't think would come by for 3 hours, to come by in 3 minutes ... like your visit to the state park in Texas to see alligators which some people there didn't see all day but you saw in the first minute
I believed there's no entry fees for any temples in VN, as it is a place of worship, and to make money is wrong. However, I do believe you can make donation.
The first dish you ate with the soup that was weird is supposed to come with meat. It’s weird that they didn’t give you that and just let you eat the noodle by itself..
Can you try buy something in Dong Xuân market they wouldn’t sell me anything bcz 🤷🏾♂️ also if you buy clothes in some random small cheap shop please wash them 1st or be prepared 😂 also I only came across a fork 3 r 4 times max over 6 weeks
your vidios are very. nice. I just want to point out that vietnam is not a Buddist country , thats why you dont see all the temples they have more of a chinese look. Vietnam is mostly agnostic.
Oh my god if I truly hate something from the bottom of my heart is when people try to sell you s*** forcefully.I get that they are trying to make a living but when you say no then they should f*** off... I watched your Indonesia episodes and that country really looks beautiful but all those people selling an imposing themselves on you two basically made me never wanting to visit that place.

Walking those little alleyways really takes me back
Loved this place!
Yes, Vietnam is one of the many places I’d like to travel to as soon as they open up everything😍
The cafe tables and chairs on TOP of the train tracks was hilarious. Amazing how life thrives within inches of the train.
Great video and great channel! Happy to have came across your channel as I do quite a bit of traveling myself! I look forward to your future videos!
yay!! Hanoi! I hope you guys venture off to halong bay and grab an egg coffee and sandwich from a street vendor. (:
Vietnam finally! Cant wait to watch all of them
Cheers! What was your favorite country in SEA?
I've already watch two of them!!! I'm about to watch the third one. Vietnam is calling my name!!!
Interesting architecture/street wall paintings and train-tea stations...def unique 👌😎
Yeah loved this place! Very unique like you said :)
Vietnam looks fascinating! I can't wait to visit someday - scams and all! Cheers!
It really does a lot to offer those that visit.
Wow, I had no idea that Hanoi was such an interesting place. It seemed relatively relaxed, for a big city, and so clean. The train-track street was one of the coolest things I've ever seen (and again, so clean!).
It seems fascinating

Great video Jumping PLaces - Hanoi looks a great place to explore.
Fantastic Christopher. The train track is fab.

Amazing effort Chris, keeping up the videos, while you are still wiped out from the food poisoning and flights. Poor Carol is shacked up with a hard task master.
Haha cheers mate, yeah to be honest being sick for 6 days meant i was able to edit all my pending videos and catch up! So that was the upside to it at least

Welcome to Viet Nam
I watched your video about Ha Long bay, Lan Ha bay and Cat Ba island. That is amazing video.
We hope to see you again.
Oh this takes us back we LOVED Vietnam! 👌🏻
We are going to veatnam in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the info 👍 I watched that episode a long time ago, miss that guy 🙁
Thank you for the information about the bun cha ha noi!!! I love pork, so I know this will be a treat for me when I get out there!!!
Hiya, great video guys, thank you for sharing your adventures, take care.
Hi guys! Do you have any tips for finding vegetarian food in Vietnam? I'm going in a few weeks. Love your videos, very detailed and informative!
You said you visit Hanoi with amazing culture and raw architecture?
Yeah!
It's crazy to see how much you have both changed your filming style over the years, let alone how you've both "matured" or "aged"...I don't know how old you two are but after watching this video I'm guessing a whole hell of a lot younger than I originally thought haha.

Train was early for once.
Yeah lol
Trải nghiệm thật tuyệt vời.cùng tận hưởng nhé
interesting train railway cafes 😊
Sure was different lol
Thankyou for bringing me in hanoi.. Love from 🇵🇭
Love ha noi
Very nice Buddhist temple
I didnt know you guys don't eat meat. Has that been difficult at all during your travels?
It was actually the pizza we think, the cheese on it. When we arrived on gili trawangan there was no electricity the whole day so we probably got some rotten cheese :(
In the Philippines it was hard, I eat fish still but in the Philippines even that was hard to find in many places
Yeah, I didn't know either until I watch one of Vietnam videos.
Awesome background score. What's that music?
Anyone?

That not soup it’s a dipping sauce for the veggies, the stuff in it are pickle vegetables.
I am a local in Hanoi
One thing i do not like is that the way people sell stuff, it is so annoying
On top of that , traffic is a nightmare
Just one Philippines number 1 visit your in asia bro..✨🇵🇭
That wall is cool as f... Then comes the train lol wtf that was nutts
Olha ó video novo vamo assistir é se deliciar com as maravilhas desse lugar 💑😘😘
Vlw!
Very cool.
Loved this place
Nice tour
Thanks as always!
100% agree!
Interesting
The first dish you ate with the soup that was weird is supposed to come with meat. It’s weird that they didn’t give you that and just let you eat the noodle by itself..
Lol they dont eat meat thats why they ,i think, orderd no meat
Good amazing video
Cheers!
Can you try buy something in Dong Xuân market they wouldn’t sell me anything bcz 🤷🏾♂️ also if you buy clothes in some random small cheap shop please wash them 1st or be prepared 😂 also I only came across a fork 3 r 4 times max over 6 weeks
Weird that they wouldn't serve you! id you ask why?
Because Dong Xuan is a wholesale market mate
your vidios are very.
nice. I just want to point out that vietnam is not a Buddist country , thats why you dont see all the temples they have more of a chinese look. Vietnam is mostly agnostic.
try to go to Da Nang.
Will do if i have time!
@@JumpingPlaces .Big place it's seems like Rio or a Florida town
I wonder how many drunk tourists has been run over by a train in that area. ;-)
Lol yeah its awesome but at the same time pretty nuts lol. They wouldn’t allow that in many countries for sure
That's crazy people even sit on the train path, especially when the trains comes!!!
U eat that noodle without meat… its like eating burger without anything inside..
My favorite
Oh my god if I truly hate something from the bottom of my heart is when people try to sell you s*** forcefully.I get that they are trying to make a living but when you say no then they should f*** off...

you are in Vietnam but a wrong city to visit , should went to Saigon
Philippines is more interesting and beautiful unlike in Vietnam
