As we watched this video, I made a comment to my wife …”you know, John doesn’t put out so many videos like most other TH-camrs,. But any videos he put out, they are very deep; have meaningful content. John always speak from his heart, his soul.” We really enjoy watching your videos. Please keep us informed of your “adventure” in Da Nang, Vietnam. Thank You John and see you in the next video.
Totally agree! John speaks like he is fully engaged in the culture as if he is a citizen of the country. He reminds me of the great Anthony Bourdain who loves Vietnam.
I wanted to say It’s great to have found your channel. You make very interesting videos. I will eventually make my way to Vietnam for visit. Thanks for the tips and walkthroughs (on other videos). Cheers John.
A Vietnamese poet once wrote "Khi ta ở chỉ là nơi đất ở Khi ta đi đất bỗng hóa tâm hồn" (Chế Lan Viên) Literally translated as "The place we live is just a land to live When we leave, it becomes our soul" Saigon is kind of my city too since I had lived there for almost 20 years. There are always good and bad but they all are our memories. At least you move to a better city, Danang, which also happens to be my home town that I lived for the first 8 years of my life. I am looking forward to seeing more great videos from you. Thank you!
So nice! Thank you so much for sharing that lovely poem. The Vietnamese language is so expressive and romantic in many ways. I totally agree with that theme. Whoever you are will be reflective in the place you live, no matter where that is. I’m very excited to be sharing beautiful Central Vietnam!
What a great summary of your time. Very Bourdain like. I subscribed to you because I was born in Saigon, and I love watching vlogs from there....I am saddened you’re leaving it. But now I, and we, will get to see your new adventures. Thank you for letting us join you!
Hi, I just stumbled across your channel. I enjoyed the video. My wife is from Can Tho and I love going there to visit her family. I have been able to travel over Vietnam quite a bit over the years and there is always adventures and great memories to be made there. Tomorrow will be two years since we have been gone. We never thought we'd be gone for so long, but who would have known that a pandemic was about to strike. We are hoping to be able to come back sometime later this year if the borders reopen. I've subscribed to your channel and looking forward to following you. Safe and happy travels to you!
Best wishes to you John. With your open mindedness and the welcoming and friendly people of VN, I hope you'll enjoy Da Nang or any other Vietnam cities for that matter.
Wish I could give that video 100 likes---tremendous insight and passion and poetry. Left SE Asia after five months in May 2020 and this video captured the intensity of my feelings about SE Asia in general and made me "homesick".
Thanks very much! I always especially appreciate when I see some kind of a trigger or emotional connection to a video. Hope you can return one day soon!
Such a great video, calm, philosophical and very grounded. I lived in Saigon for just over a year, and had to leave in a hurry to come home to care for my Grandfather during this pandemic. I often feel like I left a large part of myself in Vietnam, it's unlike anywhere else.
Good advice, John, regarding stepping outside of one's comfort zone ... The world is big enough for everyone to be part of, right? Thanks for being part of my hometown, Saigon - telling your perspectives in honest and balanced ways, through a len of a "passing through" person, if I could call U this. You may disagree with this description 😉 Nonetheless, Saigon welcomes, embraces all.
I find your video's narration charming and somewhat mythical. They bring out a sense of wonder and romance in travel, making the journey seems so much more adventurous. This, you don't see much in nowadays' media.
Gooood morning Vietnam. No matter where we live, there are always pros & cons. Go where we're treated best for our bucks. Stay safe and happy travels John. Greetings from Minnesota!
Im getting ready to quit my IT job and move to Vietnam. VN passport application in progress so fingers crossed. Really digging the nuggets of wisdom in your videos. “You really need to just live without fear” I feel like im jumping out of the plane with no ‘chute’ so thank you for the inspiration
It kills me to know that you're leaving, John. My family and I have been apart for over a year now because of covid. Your video's of daily life in Vietnam have always been an escape for me, and your street scenery have been medicine for my soul, since I've been away. As much as I don't want you to leave for my own selfish reasons, I am happy that you are continuing on with your personal journey and am looking forward to viewing more of your travels. I'll keep a light on for you. Safe travels, my friend ❤
Thanks so so much David!!! I’ve received messages from guys desperate to get back to their girlfriends or wives that have just had babies. I can’t imagine what that feels like! I really appreciate your kind words. I’ll have lots of daily life to share from Central Vietnam and I will continue to frequent Saigon and Hanoi now as well. Take care and I hope it’s not too long before you can be reunited with your family!🙏🙏🙏
@@iamjohnsaboe thank you for that, John. You have a loyal fan with me, and I'm sure that there are many others that will say the same, and twice as many that wish you safe travels. I just want you to know that your dedication to your craft has brightened many lives.. thank you for that. Please keep sharing your adventures and if you're ever in District 11 in Saigon, or Dong Hoi, you'll always have a place to stay and a Bia to drink. Just reach out. Cheers my friend. Safe travels 🙏
... very well candidly said, John... I feel like reading your thoughts from an essay. (Hello from Dallas. Am a post war child and been in the States since 1979)
GREAT episode John. Slick editing, moving words. I’ve felt the exact same departing Saigon. Enjoy the BaNa Hills- try and be first gondola 🚠 ! *Lady Buddha overlooking the Harbour at night (7pm-ish) is an incredible experience too* Not to mention your proximity to Hoi An!! Keep up the wonderful episodes. I’m really enjoying your insight as I really REALLY miss Vietnam 🇻🇳 🙏🏻
Thanks so much and that’s a wonderful tip regarding Quan Am and for Ba Na Hills. I will definitely check that out! Yes I’ve actually spent lots of time in Hoi An and Hue in the past but not so much in Da Nang. Look forward to sharing lots of videos!
I like your style very much, and I will be interested to see whether you include Da Lat in your future videos. I aim to investigate Da Lat as a future retirement location as soon as possible when the pandemic has eased. I am an English guy living in Spain at the moment. Also, I am intrigued by the camera equipment you use to film yourself walking along! You appear to be holding a device in one hand which "controls" the remote camera, but there is no visible "selfie stick" or equivalent! Forgive me if you have already explained this elsewhere, but I have never knowingly spotted such a device anywhere else.
YOU DON'T NEED TO TRAVEL TO REALLY FEEL FREE , YOU JUST NEED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE WTHOUT FEARS & LET SEE WHERE IS TAKE YOU ... WOW ! THAT'S REALLY DEEP OG : ))
Great Video as always. Especially the editing and how the music mixes with the video. Hope to see many more of your videos. A livestream would be interesting also.
Just got back from Da Nang. It's a big beautiful city, but I don't always understand its urban planning. Very different from my Nha Trang. Over the weekend, I met a huge number of expats in various cafes or just on the street, BTW
I'm sure you are referring to the nonstop crazy construction with respect to the "urban planning." Why don't you be more honest? There is no urban planning in Danang, just mass construction which makes it a very dangerous place. And the expats in Danang are toxic.
@@wyntran8036 I can't argue or agree because this was my second visit to the city in 2 years. I have seen many construction sites all over the place, but see this in Nha Trang as well. And I like the Hải Châu area. It's pretty understandable and neat. But what you said about toxic expats intrigued me. What do you mean? Are they rude, evil, unsociable or something?
@@UshleppeStreet Nha Trang's construction is minor and normal. I have never seen construction like I have in Danang. It's insane. I've seen 10m x 10m holes 10m deep on the main beach road in front of Apocalypse Now as one example. No real barriers or lights either. The construction is so crazy that the public safety is far worse than in Saigon. Danang is probably the most dangerous beach city in the world due to the construction. The expats are not necessarily rude. There tends to be a toxic atmosphere that develops in many smaller cities in SE Asia when you have western expats. There is a lot of envy and drama, etc. You aren't going to run into this sort of thing in the larger cities like Saigon. I always avoid expats in Asia. If you want trouble, hang around expats.
Hi John, thanks for all your videos! They are amazing :) May I ask how you fund all your traveling? Seems you are at it for over 10 years now o_0 Checked your channel, website etc but couldn't find a definitive answer to that
Thanks so much! Honestly sometimes I don’t know how I’ve done it, a lot of it is just positive thinking and lots of luck and timing. I’ve literally landed in countries with no more than $25 and somehow it’s worked out. I don’t recommend this lifestyle to everyone. Everything I make is from either producing content for channels, livestreaming, 360 content and training. I’m a professional broadcaster so I also work with people coaching them on presentation for TH-cam, podcasting, or holding Zoom conferences. I have definitely been impacted financially by the pandemic. I’ll make sure I have something more detailed on my website. Thanks for your interest and support!
Guaranteed you will end up in Hoi An because Danang is a terrible place littered with a crazy amount of dangerous construction. I've nearly been killed/faced very serious injury many times due to the lack of safety standards and no regard for human life. It looks good for the first few days. Once you get to know it you will realize it's a disaster. You will most likely move to Hoi An once you realize this. Good luck!
You cannot extend a tourist visa after 3 months. You must leave the country and reenter on a new visa. In Vietnam’s largest cities people in the service industry can speak basic English for transactional purposes.
When I see a city like this in transformation to modernity , meaning 30 storey plus buildings replacing the old beautiful human scale three to five to ten story buildings I feel very sad . There is something cold and stark and inhuman about skyscrapers . Saigon looks like it is going from a beautiful old city village to a heartless concrete jungle . I remember an old Singapore taxi driver saying how much he loved the old Singapore over the new . Maybe its just me ....☹️
Ok, actually not so much information about what you actually learned from living here, or? But I agree, a lot of things are happening in a marvellous speed. Teenagers eager to learn english etc. Same as in Hanoi. I´m so impressed of the pure energy here now. Democracy? Well....? Watch out all of you (me included) in the so called western world. Big things are happening here now, don´t mind whether you call it SE Asia or E Asia.
Hi John, I like your vision, traveling for something new without fear! I am traveling and working the past years in different countries around the world, guess what, I will arrive in Saigon to start my new Job which will be my 15 Th country to work and 90th I had traveled, I lived 20 plus years around Asia, I love it, feel free to contact me for any info if you wish, cheers, Joachim
Fellow old school UTuber Chuck Mynitti has been in Danang for a few years, how about you 2 do a collaboration? I'd like to see how each of you view DaDang.
"Collaborations" are for losers, by losers. Smart people do not hook up with other people because they will be linked to those people and often those people end up being scammers and criminals. Only fools ask for "collabs." John is just fine on his own.
Can you tell a little bit about your income and visa? How much does it cost to live in Vietnam, how does a foreigner get a (passive) income there to live and how about the visa for staying there so long? I'm thinking of moving there but still have so many questions..
Good morning Sir. I’m Viet Ung, the CEO Of Ucare Dental. I am reaching out to offer you a procedure to make veneers for free in exchange for your promotion and advertisement for our company. We are very interested in breaking into the foreigner and travel dental market and need partners like you to make this happen. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions. Hope to hear from you soon . Thank you so much and have a great day!

AMAZING VIDEO WITH GREAT VOICE !
Thanks so much!!!
Another great video John! Enjoy your new travel adventure in Da Nang! Looking forward to your next video as always.

Thank you!
Thank you! Hope you have a nice stay in Da Nang. If you can, please do a monthly expenses of living there. 🤓
Tks
Do locals speak English, hpw to communicate?

You cannot extend a tourist visa after 3 months. You must leave the country and reenter on a new visa. In Vietnam’s largest cities people in the service industry can speak basic English for transactional purposes.
@@iamjohnsaboe tks. 3 months Tourust visa can be extended every time if i just take one afternoon out of country and come back in ?

Can you tell a little bit about your income and visa? How much does it cost to live in Vietnam, how does a foreigner get a (passive) income there to live and how about the visa for staying there so long? I'm thinking of moving there but still have so many questions..
You should watch videos from Expats Everywhere channel. I remember they have a video answering all your questions about cost-living in Vietnam.

Thanks very much and especially appreciate you sharing your story as there are many people that have found themselves in the same position. Can Tho is such a wonderful place with amazing kind hearted people. I hope you’re able to return this year!
Can't wait!
Cool!
