"taking the picture of my beautiful son benjamin" - nah how cute is that man
sobbed internally for a moment when i heard that
literally 😭 tears flew to my eyes
I was going to comment about the same thing! Lovely. It makes me miss my dad so much.
Bro that literally made my eyes tear as I smiled his dad is such a gift 🙏🏾❤️
Right! He is adorable 🥰
I say it every time and I'll say it again - I love your dad so much
Yes he is growing on me to, cool guy 😎
Yeah, he is such a great example of what healthy (non-toxic) masculinity looks like!
The voiceover with your dad is perfection. Pure perfection; it even brought a tear to my eyes.
same, it was so beautiful over the sound of the paddle hitting the water - felt like an end to a heartwarming film
i teared up when your dad said your mom’s food was not only better, but she gives more. just something about it is so reminiscent of homemade meals, and the gesture of love given through food 🥹
i wonder where his mom is???
I hate to say it but I've never seen Vietnam like this. Similar to places like Mexico it's always portrayed in a certain way that never feels like what the country and people truly are. Seeing your family's beautiful home and the gardens and cafes you visited felt like a whole new world I've never seen. It's so beautiful and calming. You really captured a special feeling in this video and your Instagram posts. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
So how was the country portrayed to you?
I've been to Vietnam last winter and it is truly beautfiful. I don't think it was mis protrayed! It was a lovely video and reminded me of the great experience.
Im VIETNAMESE, I don’t know what your GORVEMENT & MEDIA PORTRAIT us look like??
All I can say is VIETNAM NOWADAYS IS DAMM WHOLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HAPPEND IN 70-80-90s-00s.
Life here is so much better & easier than before. Life is full of colorful, families values, cultures & enjoy.
VIETNAM - Southeast Asia, still poor & developing if compare to others East Asia but nothing chaotic & dangerous as ppl imagine!! Its even safer in many Us/Uk cities - where is full of druggies high on drugs all day & thugs running over streets, parks doing all shitty stuff.
And I can guarantee you, it’s more safer than Mexico. Not myself say this, alots of foreign who ever been working & travel in Vietnam or around Asia continental admit this.
Vietnam & some Southeast Asia country still have alots of problems as crazy traffic & corruption, healthcar, etc.. it need change & fix in future for better systems. But it step by step changing, just need times.
In recent years, the wave of foreign (us/western & South America) after travel or work here start chose their life here in Vietnam, Taiwan, China, Malay, Thailand,.. it’s not huge but it’s small amounts percentage. Its show something changing, something never happens before.
Alots of US/Western (non-Asian) was shocking after they’re landing here. Their information & knowledge is UPSIDE DOWN than what their though.
I have nothing against us/West or mexico, I write long comments just show you facts & others views.
BTW, WESTERN MEDIA & GORVEMENT always drawing us Asian is weirdo & different types.
Western media, reporters & movies painting us with their bias views. Though media, they’re teach ppl there is hateful racist towards to Asian ppl (including born AmericanAsian, AussieAsian,etc.. who been born & raise whole life in West by generations) though media, reports & movies - they tech younhful generation ignorant & racist towards to Asian. This is so sad & bad.
Asian is beautiful & unique just in their way. Asian ppl is Smart, friendly, hard-working, families values, easy to going, well-blending with others race & cultures.
Look at how many youngster West nowadays is fails & falling unbelievable becomes ignorant & violent, bloody racist ppl for no damm reason is so disgusting. If West don’t fix this problems & accept this is real deal problem then in 2-3 decades later they’re gonna behind by alots of East Asian & some Southeast Asia countries as well.
Benji being called Benjamin was the craziest part of this video lolol. This was sooo cute though!!
My family and a few of my close friends call me Benjamin!!
@@benjiplant Brother love from bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩
Can you teach me that how to take care of Bombay chilli
,Pls. That's my new tree😅
Seeing a Viet dad actually love and care and actually express it warms my heart, I’m glad you have that
Papa Benji should be protected at all cost. 100/10 wholesome ❤️❤️❤️
Being able to go with your dad to his homeland must mean so much!! I could tell how much your dad must love Vietnam and the people there!
I've never considered Vietnam as a place I might want to travel, but this really changed my mind! Wow it's so beautiful 😍 I will go to Vietnam one day!
Việt Nam rất nhiều cảnh đẹp . Nơi đây rất an toàn , người dân thân thiện . Mong 1 ngày nào đó có thể chào đón bạn đến đất nước chúng tôi
Many people don't know how spectacular the landscape is...check out videos from those whom did the Ha Giang Loop, Ninh Binh (he didn't really do it justice on this video), Ha Long Bay, etc. It also has the most amazing caves in Phong Nha where you can do a day trip or multi-day caving expeditions that are awesome....or just go canyoning in Da Lat, an awesome city with tons to see and do.
Your Dad seems like a really nice guy. Your lucky to have the family that you do.
who else loved the dad's voiceover? it was so cute and lovely😍
Vietnam looks really really beautiful! I want to go too now hehe :) and your dad is so cute too, he really loves you!! thank you for the vlog it was very nice💕
"taking a picture of my beautiful son, benjamin " 🥺
This reminds me of my trip to Thailand last summer and it brought tears to my eyes. I really want to visit Vietnam - mainly because Vietnamese is my favourite cuisine and could not live without it.
Thank you for this video Benji ❤️
Go to Vietnam and do food tours in every city. You'll have a great culinary experience.
I was in Hanoi in December last year and was really taken aback by the architecture and the amount of greenery there. I think the plants especially those that climb on the side of the buildings really adds a lot of charm to the place! Definitely something you wouldnt see in Singapore where im from (even though we call ourselves the garden city lol) looking forward to the other videos!!
Singapore is new so it doesn't look as charming. I think the plants growing on the old buildings is what gives it charm and character and why so many love the Old Quarter in Hanoi.
Your videos are just magical, I love your channel! 🌱
Hello 😊
I am French, and my mother is from Vietnam.
I have never traveled to Vietnam, but I love its culture, its traditions, the beauty of the landscape and the food.🥰
your dad is so pure!!! we must protect him at all costs😭🫶🏼
What do you mean by " protect him" ?
This was such a heart warming video, I cant wait for the next Vietnam vlogs. Northern Vietnam is so incredibly beautiful!!
The landscape in northern Vietnam is incomparable. From Ha Long Bay to the Ha Giang Loop to Sa Pa to Ninh Binh...out of this world beautiful.
FYI, about the milk fruit (vú sữa - the literal translation is breast milk lmao :v), the best way to eat it would be slicing it in half and eat the flesh inside with a spoon. We don't eat the outside as it is tangy and tough :))
why am i crying at your dad's little commentary at the end 😭 healing my immigrant father issues fr LOL
your dad is so sweet. love the impromptu live performance lol
It's SO SWEET to see how close your mum and dad are, even when they're apart
Hoá ra bạn là người việt nam 😊 không biết bạn có biết tiếng việt không? Mình chỉ muốn nói là mình thích cách bạn trang trí ngồi nhà xanh của bạn lắm ❤
This is so beautiful! I love that the two of you are having these adventures together. 👏🏽
Lindo demaiiiis, morro de vontade de visitar o Vietnã, parece ser um lugar encantador❤️🌱
Vietnam is the best y’all! You have to visit. The south central and north of Vietnam are all amazing unique and unforgettable. Awesome footage, love you guys- family goals….
Nuoc nam Viet nam di vung ben ❤️
I traveled with my dad too when I was younger, you brought me back! Vietnam looks amazing. I am chomping at the bits to see the new house.
Must be almost ten years ago that I did a very similar route and literally so many of the things are evoking such strong memories. Also you and your dad have such a lovely bond!
a little reminder from a Vietnamese that pls be careful when you're vlogging on the street in Vietnam, there might be someone who will try to catch your phone
This is the most wholesome vlog ever, you and your dads relationship is beautiful and so is Vietnam. Definitely on my travel list :)
14:16 "taking a picture of my beautiful son benjamin" hold on there's something in my eye !!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow I miss Hanoi ! I am Chinese and lived in Hanoi for a year. Really love vietnam, so much better than china
Wow what a trip but I just can’t help love your dad calling your mom all during the trip. So sweet!
13:20 I visited this cave just a week ago. It's called "Sửng sốt" cave, which means "thrilling". It's majestic and the bay itself is wonderful, will definitely visit Ha Long Bay again
This might be my favorite video you’ve ever made, Benji! I’m Vietnamese but currently living in the US, and just in October, I was back in Vietnam with my family. I went to so many of the same places you guys did, and it made me so homesick 😢 we went to Cafe Giang for egg coffee (also looked at the plants and thought they were a bit sad haha), the temple and lake, and Ha Long Bay as well. We had a smaller boat to ourselves and when we were in the big cave, we were the only people there. It was so majestic! Ninh Binh is my Mom’s hometown and we went through the same caves a few years ago. I’m happy you got to experience Ha Noi with your dad, it’s a beautiful city. And though I’m homesick, I’ll be reliving my trip vicariously through your videos ❤
Ninh Binh is really special...I've always been drawn to it from the first time I saw Luke Nguyen on the mountain. Last year, I saw "Flor and Note" go there and was going on about how beautiful it is there to my SIL (who knows way more about my family history than me). She then told me my dad's family is from there (I knew he was born in Vietnam but all his kids were born and lived in Laos before coming to the US). I was like, really? Wow.
That little voice over with your father and the beautiful clips you put in was lovely. Looks like you guys are having fun ❤
I want to visit Vietnam again! 😍 Did you go on a tour or make your own itinerary?
Ho Chi Minh was a brutal màss-murderer of landlords in the 1959s. Even Ken Burns himself showed this of Ho.
Nah bc why did i get goosebumps at 13:46 that was beautiful, what a special moment shared online
Vietnam is so so beautiful and your dad is amazing! Have fun and thank you for these vlogs 💚
Bạn là người gốc Việt Nam ak? chào đoán bạn về với quê hương ❤
When I go to Vietnam in the future, I would really like to buy some of this artwork. I would also like to go to Hanoi and get some clothes made specifically for me using the tailors there.
I love Hanoi!! I took a trip there a few months ago and I think its one of my favorite cities in Vietnam!
Vietnam is beautiful I will love to visit one day ❤
Việt Nam chào đón bạn 😉
vietnam is a hard language i live in vietnam😝
loving this vlog so much 🥺 thank you for taking us with you to vietnam!!
benji you just saved my day. eternally grateful
Same tbh. 💚 Hugs
this is a very cozy video!! you and your dad are very cute)
Thanks you for visiting Vietnam. Because it's such an underrated country fill with culture, history and beautiful scenery.
Next time if you really want to feel the cold of the North, you should visit Sapa in the winter, and reach the highest mountain in VN which is the Fansipan or so-called "The roof of Indochina"
Vietnam is so beautiful! What a great trip. Benji's dad is so cool, great father. 😊
are we not gonna talk about the surprise live performance of hanoi's #1 vocalist slash drummer? 🤯🤩😂
i am: wishing that man a nice day 😌🫰🏼
im also going with my dad to vietnam for a week or so, your vids are so wholesome bro 🗣
Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you.
Thank you for this video. Very beautiful views and scenery.
I just got home from 6 weeks in Hanoi. Awesome place to visit!
0:40 why is this plane all seats??? How do you walk in there, to the toilet or something??

This was incredible ... I had no idea it would be like this. So Happy!! Joyful environment! I'd love to go visit!
Wow! I loved this so much! The last part with your Dad commentating was priceless! Spectacular views & incredible culture! Thanks for sharing!!
It’s so heartwarming seeing your trip to Vietnam - it’s always such an amazing experience when I go back to visit. And it’s so nice to see your experience, especially in Hanoi! I’m from the south too and have never been up North, guess I have to plan a trip now!
Dads commentary is so sweet ;-;
What a beautiful experience with your beautiful father. 💚

Beautiful tour and such good, mellow descriptions! Your dad is very handsome and chill, and Vietnam is really appealing. Magical, even. Thank you!

Love your Dad's Spirit!

Sao không nói tiếng Việt😏
Your dad is so funny and cute.😍 Now it's understandable why earlier chris said you have good humour. Definitely came from Dad🤭
Benji, you are such a sweet soul. I just started watching your channel about a month ago. I am also obsessed with plants, always have been. And now, to see Vietnam…just breathtaking. Thank you for letting us into your world. You are truly an inspiration..🌸🌸🌸
your dad is too funny! i hope you guys had fun!
Xin chào, anh Phúc và cháu nhé, 2 bố con có chuyến du lịch Việt Nam vui vẻ.
your dad is such a sweet heart
I enjoyed watching your vlog. You've been into nice places and I hope that I'll get a chance to visit Vietnam too 🥰
Very much enjoyed your video of tour to Vietnam, especially as my gay friend was from Hanoi. The scenery is especially beautiful. THANKS!
your dad's recording with the voiceover is the cutest thing ever
This vlog made me smile so much! I love seeing you out of your comfort zone, doing cool stuff with new people. I also feel like I learned a lot about Vietnam which is always a plus! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your dad is just the cutest, its so clear he loves you so much
If you're looking for more fantasy inspired by and centered around Asian culture and histroy, you should check out the Poppy War series by R.F. Kuang.
Awesome video, my wife is from Saigon and we are working hard to save up as much as we can for an early retirement in Vietnam. Just a question I am curious about, are you Whasian? Is your mom white?
Just wondering as I am white and my wife being Vietnamese, it's hard to imagine what our kids might look like one day. And you don't look completely Vietnamese to me. Hopefully no offence taken from my question, genuinely curious!
Thanks for these awesome videos that bring me back to Vietnam and to help with my daydreaming of once again moving there full time!
You´re such a nice guy and what a wonderful video! Greetings from Thailand, Flori
Vietnamese girls be like “Chưa thích lấy chồng đúng không” 😂
That fruit is called caimito here in the Philippines.
Vietnam is such a beautiful place. Adding it on my bucket list.
Good to watch nice vlog... Calem Berlin Germany 🇩🇪...
Love your relationship with your dad ✨
