I don't think you can go wrong in Vietnam bud. Living vicariously through you, best of luck I'm sure you'll love the life you'll make for yourself there. Best wishes brother ✌️✨👍
At 33:22, on the pub sign, I'm sure that's Monkey from the series of the same name. I was obsessed with it in the late 70s like many others of my generation. The eponymous character was played by the brilliant Masaaki Sakai who was already famous in Japan for being in the pop/garage rock band The Spiders- th-cam.com/video/YE1Vlt35vSk/w-d-xo.html He was my childhood hero and I can still speak the opening narration from memory. The theme song was tremendously exciting and would inspire me to spin my grandfather's walking stick around and shout about fighting demons. The closing song, Gandhara was quite wistful in contrast and a song to inspire quiet reflection. I tried learning it on guitar some time ago but I have a terrible singing voice and no sense of rhythm. I'm not sure if it's a false memory but I recall there was an obese older boy called Peter Clarke who lived next door to me, a malevolent character with a face like a suet pudding and dead eyes like raisins stuck in pastry. He stole a Toblerone from me by snatching it out of my hands when I was about 6 and I was so enraged, I tried to summon a cloud to fly over the fence and deliver justice to him. The closest I could get to that was sitting on the sheepskin fireside rug urging it to levitate while gripping granddad Leonard's cane like Monkey's wishing staff.
It's really good to see you living in such a nice place bro. I was reading something earlier about how humans have always been drawn to large bodies of water. That's why we like visiting the seaside and large lakes. Fossil records support that theory. I guess it's fixed in our instincts that water means rehydration and the possibility of gatherhing food, Rivers and seas also suggest the promise of travel if we can tie a few logs together with twine and construct a seaworthy raft. Our ancestors were drawn to the waters several milliena ago and we still like to gaze upon the ocean, walk alongside rivers and sit beside streams in the modern age.
I wrote that early in the video before I realised it was about something else and not about mankind's relationship with large bodies of water. I feel a bit embarassed now but I thought I should leave it up because although there was some stuff about numbers that I didn't understand because I'm not good with numbers, I caught a glimpse into a place that I've only heard about from hiding behind furniture and listening to people talk. It was a welcome distraction from my persistent thoughts about Morfydd Clark spilling Bovril down herself and a recurring fear that I've had since childhood that the metal figure on the wall beside C&A will come to life and follow me through town like a sinister adversary from Jason and the Argonauts or something.
@@globaltreats That's awesome mate - congrats. I live in Chiang Mai but was in Hanoi a couple of years ago, enjoyed it so I'm looking forward to your upcoming content

Love the chair arrangement in the bars, I think "coffee" is a euphemism. Enjoy your time in Hanoi.

Nice. Glad to see you're back in SEA. How long are you planning on living in Hanoi for?
No plans.😄
