As an Indian who visited Vietnam last year in November it was wonderful experience. I loved Halong bay and Hocinmin city. It was really special because this was my first international travel. Amazing hospitality from the kind Vietnamese people. ❤❤
I'm from Da Nang. A fact for you: The real Vietnamese culture, the real Viet tradition, and our original root are from the Northside, from Hanoi, Haiphong, Halong, Ninh Binh... ❤
@@haduong96353a culture is a mix, there is no real-fake issue The North for sure is the root of Kinh-Muong which is the most populous group in our country but we have 54 groups that call each other brothers and proudly call ourself Vietnamese
Near where I grew up in Birmingham, AL, there is an old Catholic church and currently the priest there is a Vietnamese man who became a priest in Vietnam and was transferred to the US by the Catholic leaders when the old priest passed away. I got to meet him when the company I worked for was installing some new speakers to replace the old ones from like 1970. He has such a fascinating story of how he ended up moving to the US and is one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I visited Vietnam just before 4 months, I was in HCMC, Mekong Delta and Phu Quoc for 15 days. I have been in 35 countries, and I can tell you Vietnam is hands down one of the top 3. As about the people are the most friendly and relaxed people I have met in my life.
In many places the plastic waste is not generated onshore but comes in from the sea on waves. The beach Paul visited was very windy, with strong waves.

Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia is safety& beautiful Maybe not same level as EAST ASIA (japan, korea, china, taiwan) but definity safety than alots MIDDLE EAST COUNTRY SOUTH AMERICA, AFRICAN COUNTRY COULD EVER THINK & EVEN SAFER THAN ALOTS WESTERN COUNTRY AS WELL
That's great for you to have explored Saigon. Next time I would suggest swinging by Hanoi around Tet (late January/early Febuary) for a different, a little bit more quite and 'nostalgic' taste of Vietnam. Can't wait for the episode!
Great video! 👍👍👍👍👍I love that you travel with your mom!💕 I was also very close to my mom, but unfortunately she passed 5 years ago… And i still miss her every day… Continue to cherish and honor your mom always! I wish for her and you a very long and happy life! I am a big fan of your show! Hugs from Sweden!
I really wish this Geography Go would be an hour long! I'm from Ha Noi and I have visited most places mentioned in this video. Sai Gon is one of my favorite cities, I visited it three times and will come back there really soon. Thank you Barb for taking me around Sai Gon again to all those familiar places! Looking forward to the main video about Vietnam, I started watching since B-C countries and finally, I will reach a video about my country, quite a long and fun wait! And hopefully, there'll be Geography Go! episodes in other regions of Vietnam in coming years.
I mean HCMC was amazing don't get me wrong, but you have no idea how much I regret not visiting the North side of Vietnam, hopefully I'll be back some day
As a Filipino coffee-lover, I think visiting Vietnam is now on my bucket list. Their cuisine is highly underrated and in my honest opinion, probably one of the best (if not THE best) in Southeast Asia (probably could make a case for Indonesian cuisine being better, but whatever.) Out of all the cuisines in SE Asia, which are almost entirely rice-and-noodle-based, they definitely have the best dishes centered around *bread.*
One thing I like about this is how barbs points out really small things about other countries like how coffee has those little handles on it and how the sidewalks have that slope. That’s what I wanted to know about.
Gosh I love so much that Vietnam, a country with such a deep and rich culture and history is receiving so much attention, thank you for your hard work Barbs~ Pd: That guy sleeping on a motorbike is my hero XDDD
Because Ho Chi Minh City was so hot, the man slept on the motorbike to take a nap and rest, which he usually did every day. He is a working man, maybe he will wake up early to work so he needs to rest a bit,
I'm from Da Nang. A fact for you: The real Vietnamese culture, the real Viet tradition, and our original root are from the Northside, from Hanoi, Haiphong, Halong, Ninh Binh... ❤
Watching this GeoGo episode brought back so many wonderful memories of Ho Chi Minh City before the world went into lockdown a month after my birthday vacation. I don't have a nightlife, so staying at one of the hotels in Bui Vien Walking Street posed as a challenge to my sleep in my five days' stay there. Notwithstanding the fact, I totally enjoyed the sights and sound, and the food, including my very first Jollibee experience outside of my motherland, the Philippines. Thank you for sharing your Vietnam trip with us, Barbs! 🤗💖🇻🇳
@@GeographyNow yes, Vietnam has a lot of spectacular sightseeings for trying and enjoying in Northern, Central Highland, Mekong Delta, etc. I'm Vietnamese
Hey Barbs, I truly and deeply love your dedication to go visit countries around the world and how you show us it is very entertaining and interesting! Also I love that you bring along your mother so she can experience this stuff as well. Cheers!
Vietnam was by far my favorite place to travel when I was going through SE Asia a few years back. Best pork out of any place I've been, and Dalat has the best Pho I've ever had
God this brings me back to 2017 when I went to Vietnam and travelled to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh as well as a brilliant little town called Hoi An! Genuinely one of the best travelling experiences I’ve ever had, their culture and history is so fascinating and all the locals were so friendly and welcoming to us! If I had to choose another country to live in besides my home of Australia, Vietnam honestly would rank really high, I love it there!
Vietnam is so great. I have been there twice and I want to go again. Hanoi, Hoi An, Da Lat and Ho Chi Minh City have so many good things to see and experience and I need to go to the other places.
Just came back from HCMC, and it kinda looks like we were at the same time in Vietnam, or at least not long apart. Especially the "Chuc mung nam moi" sign for Tet at Union Square (@1:30) was there the first few days and replaced later (I think with Welcome to HCMC or something like that). Hope you enjoyed it, I certainly did :) Actually you guys visited some of the same places we did like the water puppet theater, some temples, the small church and of course the usual stuff.
Yeah I should've mentioned that I went there JUST after Tet and the decorations were still up (but I wasn't complaining because CLEARLY they looked amazing! Lol)
Please don't stop traveling and teaching everyone what's out there and different lifestyles then where you currently live. I love this channel. ~love from up north in Minnesota. 🎉
I have just come across your videos today. I am Vietnamese, having been residing in Ireland for a while. Those your videos made me homesick but i am delighted. I really appreciate you and your videos❤
Thanks Barbs for this fascinating video about my country. As a Vietnamese and a tourist, I identified what you enjoyed and got experiences during the trip are honest. For example, people still litter garbages in everywhere they visited, some merchants saled their goods, souvenirs with extremely high cost and so on. Nevertheless, our awareness about environment are more and more enhanced. In overall, Vietnam is a friendly country for friends around the world to visit and get experiences. If you come back to Vietnam again, you should visit the North of Vietnam and Mekong Delta, we will be tour guides when you go to Can Tho city
I'm Vietnamese immigrated to the US when I was young. I noticed in some area of Saigon there's graffiti that weren't common when I was young. I hope the Vietnamese govt. crack down on vandalism like graffiti and clean up those dirty graffiti cuz it make the city look ghetto. I live in the US and we got tons of graffiti in city area is really bad.

Man, it's great to see Barbs traveling to the city that I live in. I could have met you but unfortunately, I'm quite busy at that time so yeah, great video by the way. Can't wait for the Vietnam episode to be uploaded!
Hi! I am from Vietnam and I agree with you about the beach in Vung Tau. My hometown is Nha Trang, one of the most popular beach city in our country but I did not appreciate its beauty enough until I visited some other beaches. So if you have chance to travel Vietnam again, pls give a trip to Nha Trang and Da Nang. The beach there is clean and amazing. 🥰
I went to Da Nang last July. Number 1, I was on a budget and the cheapest flight out of my hometown of Daegu (I'm an English teacher in Korea), number 2, I prefer the relatively smaller cities to the big cities. Da Nang was a very chill place. It was probably the best trip I have taken in several years. I hope I get to see more of the country.
even though being born and raised in Saigon, I would recommend 1st time travellers to visit Hue-Danang-HoiAn or Hanoi-NinhBinh-HalongBay area instead of Saigon-VungTau if you would like to learn of our unique culture, history and nice scenery. Saigon has more variety of cuisines though.
That was fun to watch! Just a reminder: in many European places you can just get snails in the supermarket. It's a French cultural thing but neighboring places also have them.
Looks like you had a blast!! Surprisingly, the cuisine that seems the closest to Korean is none of their immediate neighboring countries, but rather its tropical/bayou cousin down south. O_O
Man, I remember the cute old days of Albania, Belgium and such. Felt like an eternity before my country (🇳🇱) was covered. Can't imagine what it's like for those with us since the beginning from countries like these.
But, the ones who have to wait the longest get rewarded with longer and better videos, so maybe it's better to be near the end than near the beginning.
Still waiting for the ACTUAL GEOGRAPHY NOW! Vietnam episode though, but anyway, thank you for this wonderful work 🇻🇳 I hope one day you will come to Hanoi, my hometown in the Northern Vietnam 🇻🇳
Hey Barbs, I hope you get to visit Kuching in Sarawak, Malaysia Borneo anytime in the future. I remembered watching your Malaysia episode in the past and it'd be fun if you explore the local food and culture and visit Borneo Cultural Museum or The Rainforest World Music Festival in June which is held every year.
Saying Saigon is hectic is like saying Germany is pricey, I mean yes but in its proximity are the Scandinavian countries. Saigon is nothing compared to Hanoi! in terms of being hectic
I met you and Brad in Vũng Tàu at that Phuc Long cafe when you were waiting for the bus. You talked to my niece and she was so excited to meet a TH-camr.
breastmilk fruit hahaha I think that would be star apple in the Philippines. it's one of my favorite fruits. glad you had a good trip! waiting for the Vietnam episode
As a third generation person of Sino-Vietnamese exiles, I have always wanted to visit Vietnam. I know watching this is not the same as being in Vietnam but I will enjoy what I can. Thanks Barbs!
I'm not sure if the charm was intentional here, or if I just have a quirky sense of humor- But for some unexpected & unknown reason, the whole "magic water" bit from 14:29-14:36 made me laugh WAY more than it should have!
The "Hai.. Hai.." just to fit in for a moment got me 🤣. But anyways.. this was a good trip. I hope to visit Vietnam one day too. May God bless our Vietnamese brothers and sisters!❤️
I love you videos! The one about my home country of Sweden was fun. Have you ever thought about making videos about micro nations within countries? Sweden has five
I first discovered Vietnamese food in Minnesota in the early 1980s, when a Vietnamese family - very newly arrived to the US - moved in across the street from us. I met them as they were moving in. There were three generations in the family and the kids were approximately my age, and spoke English well. They invited me for dinner not long afterwards and I had my first taste of Vietnamese food. I WAS IN HEAVEN. Good GRIEF, the flavors were so unlike what I was used to. Very soon, numerous Vietnamese restaurants opened around my area, and we are all the better for it! This was over 40 years ago and Vietnamese is still one of my favorite cuisines. I'm so lucky to live in an area with amazing Asian restaurants. If you are ever in the Twin Cities area, check out Eat Street in Minneapolis and Little Mekong in St. Paul (oh and we also have several good Korean restaurants around here too, Barbs!) 😄
4:14 what do you mean, propaganda? The Trung sister's a part of Northern history. They were basically queens, saving the country from the clutches of China, when no man could. Do not reduce their roles to something like "propaganda"

I know watching this is not the same as being in Vietnam but I will enjoy what I can.
Thanks Barbs!
I'm not sure if the charm was intentional here, or if I just have a quirky sense of humor- But for some unexpected & unknown reason, the whole "magic water" bit from 14:29-14:36 made me laugh WAY more than it should have!
I love their architecture 👍
The "Hai.. Hai.." just to fit in for a moment got me 🤣. But anyways.. this was a good trip. I hope to visit Vietnam one day too. May God bless our Vietnamese brothers and sisters!❤️
I love you videos! The one about my home country of Sweden was fun. Have you ever thought about making videos about micro nations within countries? Sweden has five
I first discovered Vietnamese food in Minnesota in the early 1980s, when a Vietnamese family - very newly arrived to the US - moved in across the street from us. I met them as they were moving in. There were three generations in the family and the kids were approximately my age, and spoke English well. They invited me for dinner not long afterwards and I had my first taste of Vietnamese food. I WAS IN HEAVEN. Good GRIEF, the flavors were so unlike what I was used to. Very soon, numerous Vietnamese restaurants opened around my area, and we are all the better for it! This was over 40 years ago and Vietnamese is still one of my favorite cuisines. I'm so lucky to live in an area with amazing Asian restaurants. If you are ever in the Twin Cities area, check out Eat Street in Minneapolis and Little Mekong in St. Paul (oh and we also have several good Korean restaurants around here too, Barbs!) 😄
It's one of the FEW cuisines I will (reluctantly) compare as equals to Korean 😂
14:51 Yeah, not bad, agree.....
7:00 I remember when that complex sat "outside" of D2 by itself with nothing around it, look at it now!
Not so fun fact: the painting at 14:00 went through a botched preservation effort by the museum that damaged it by ~30%
Did not know that, but yeah it was labeled a "National treasure" so I can understand the importance
For a second I thought that this was the Vietnam video but it is the geo go episode lol
4:14 what do you mean, propaganda? The Trung sister's a part of Northern history. They were basically queens, saving the country from the clutches of China, when no man could. Do not reduce their roles to something like "propaganda"
getting good "B roll" in Vietnam is basically anywhere u point a camera
