@FRANCISCO POLLARDO Why is it that it's foreigners who are so afraid to be in London? Londoners have had far worse. You think we cower under cover from a few loons driving cars or waving knives? Or Welsh far-Right manics killing innocent mosque attenders? Pish! If you can't hack London, stay away....
Vietnam was the country i liked the most between the 10 asian countries i've visited. People are just amazingly kind and i'm black. I've never encounter the subtle or overt racism i encounter elsewhere in Asia.
They love black so much even vietnamese women blacken their teeth traditionally. Look it up. Vietnamese dont really care much if you are black yellow purple green. As long you are respectful, reliable, trustworth and act on what you say. Vietnamese dont trust the chinese too much. Chinese from mainland China not the chinese-vietnamese. Bad products that harm vietnamese are from China.
Thank you so much. I'm so sick of assumptions people made about Vietnam, which includes Vietnam war, Communist party and low living standard. In fact, most of the Vietnamese people are quite care-free and kind-hearted and have strong sense of belonging to community. Communal and familial values practiced throughtout our history has formed a culture that can't be intervened by any political institutions.
@@minhtu_thomas_hoang What a great shame that Vietnamese communists are not kind-hearted, have a strong sense of belonging to community, and have communal and family values like ordinary Vietnamese. All communists ever think about is how to steal, loot, extract bribes from the hard-working ordinary Vietnamese.
People say vietnam is Communist. But being living here 8 years and it's a great place to live. They love being open to westerners and always happy to speak to y.
I am Vietnamese, I don’t hate Communism and I don’t hate other foreign people. I think you guys have some sort of bad impression about Communism because your government repeatedly tell you bad things about it or something 😂 I think people still think Communism means that government take your everything and spread it among the people, that’s why people scare of Communism 😂

I am a white American who lives in Thailand and married a Thai. I have been here 6 years . I visit Vietnam a cpla times a year. I was 20 when I began my 30 months in the military in the war. Now when I go, I have Vietnamese friends, veterans of the American war, and I was welcomed everywhere I went. It reminded me of south Vietnam years ago. Just the average person on the street loved me! ...And the food. I love Thai food. I have a very large Vietnamese restaurant not too far from my house and often go there, or pick up returning home and at times order for delivery. I have never ever had a single negative experience in Vietnam ( or Thailand for that matter). O(n my 2 visits to China, it was so uncomfortable... so very uncomfortable. I will never go to China again. You guys are welcome to stop by here and even stay a little while in my humble abode. One of you would sleep on my sofa bed. BTW, I think some Chinese a wonderful, but the tourism industry has a very large Chinese contingent. And OMG they re the rudest, loudest, most pushy people in a crowd I have ever seen. And spit. Good God do they like to spit. Spit everywhere . And it doesn't matter...I saw a group once at a Big Buddha tourist spot . They were screaming so loud at one another you couldn't have a conversation . Then I noticed the spitting ...right on the walkway into the temple. Me, a white American...and I was appalled...I was aghast! It was so rude. Several Thais gave them dirty looks, but by and large the Thais are too polite to even correct someone. It is considered proper to maintain a "cool heart" and a "cool head" ...not lose your temper..... Once, at a hotel check out, there was some sort of problem, the clerk explained it, the Chinese kept bitching and bitching...finally I had had enough. Man I went ballistic. Not loud, but I gave them a tongue-lashing they wont soon forget. English...but still. I flat tod them I was not going to tolerate him berating my friend like that. My friend was doing her job, but was too polite to even defend herself. Short of fisticuffs, I believe that is the most drama filled interaction I have ever had. I was so mad. I had been in that hotel for about 2 weeks...and this was my 3rd stay for about 2 weeks to a month. I knew the staff , and found them to be wonderful. China has a long way to go. Not all. Not every one. But dear God, as a whole, they are a nasty. greedy, rude, impolite society today after a lifetime of communism. No God, no Family...2 of the previous BIG influences in Chinese life, now gone. They will reap what they sow.
My God, you should have met a group of middle-aged people with extremely low quality. They are not particular about it at home. It may be related to the previous growth environment, because China has only developed in recent years. Most people have no education and their quality is generally low.
I had a great time in Vietnam. The uniformed immigration guy scared me when I landed. Besides that I had a wonderful time. people were friendly. Someone I met off facebook met up with us to show us around for a few days. Super friendly. Food was cheap. We even had a taxi driver pick us up in rain and drive us about 1km and said it was too short to take our money. We insisted because we knew this young man would be paying it himself. IT was a super nice gesture. Highly recommend a few weeks there!
Actually, friendliness and hospitality are still the Vietnamese's characteristics and they will not change in any ways even when our country reaches the development as China nowadays. It's in our blood bro and as everyone already knows, you guys can see the happiness, satisfaction around us. We aren't very rich :) but we are open-hearted, united and self-image, btw welcome to Vietnam!! =)))) :3:3:3
Vietnam despite being communists still maintain it’s values and traditional morals they were taught from generations to generations, China however discouraged traditional values and moralities due to the cultural revolution and they remain ignorant like their imperial qing counterpart
I visited China and Vietnam a month ago. I agree with you 100%. I was very comfortable when I was in Vietnam compared to China. Vietnam has surprised me by the kindness of its people and welcomed them with strangers and tourists
because we Chinrse people dont flatter you. You are just spoild by vietnam people, and expect all the asia people will flatter you. I know many white people who were loser in their own country and move to vietnam or Philipins then become very popular in these south asia country.
Vietnam is also one of my most favourite places. Notice that guy in the background how he tried not to ruin your video. Vietnamese people(most) are so sincere and polite. Honestly I have never met such warm and open people.
I totally agree with you, when I was in China I found that Chinese people don’t really smile at foreigners, they give you a suspicious look, I felt like I wasn’t well recepted, I worried about being scammed, I worried about the Chinese goverment watching me and my internet activities there were times I worried about my safety, where as in Vietnam people smiled, they welcomed you as a foreigner, I felt safe, being on the internet felt comfortable like I wasnt being monitored, food was cheap, didnt feel like I was going to be scammed, the atmosphere was more relaxed. Overall my experience in Vietnam was way better than in China.
Have to say I have dated Chinese and Vietnamese women and I find Vietnamese women warmer and also they are more well adjusted mentally. Chinese women seem to have a lot of strange behaviour and psychological issues. Interestingly, many Chinese seem to have very high IQ's.
We have seen a lot of foreigners here over the past 30-40 years... But when I see foreigners on the street, I always say hello to them in China. It depends on different people.
In Vietnam, whatever happened in the past, we leave it in the past, as long as you feel guilty about what you did to us and be respectful towards us, we will welcome you all the time
@@omburhan8454 The poor Vietnamese fishermen were squeezed out by massive fleet of Chinese militia fishing boats, they have no choice but to go further out and end up in Indonesia's water. However later on when fish stock reduces near VN, the Chinese fleet militias will intrude Indonesian water too!
@@tonyvu2011 part of the problem is, that China claims half of their nearby waters as their own. Even some japanese islands that have been japanese for like 2000 years are claimed by China. The maniacs of the CCP really want to conquer the world it seems.
Everyone is extremely friendly here , every night I go out I meet many people and nothing but kindness . I love Vietnam and the metal gear sound yesssss
Vietnamese territorial waters are now infested with sharks. On the surface sharks kill fishermen. Sharks living underwater eat cables. When they go airborne, they disrupt communication signals. Those different species of sharks have one thing in common: they speak Chinese!
Ha ha ha ... I guess you have been in Vietnam for a long time and have known that neighboring sharks like to steal Vietnamese internet cables out at sea! But Viet Nam Internet is still the best kind of internet and very great !
Why would Vietnamese hate Americans? Repelling foreign invaders is their national pastime! I don’t think they even consider humbling the most powerful nation in the free world their finest achievement. These guys beat the Genghis Khan era Mongols. That’s the kind of street creed that the Chinese can’t buy and it shows in the carefree attitude of their people.
@@nolife4588 yeah we love you too. Actually we have a lot of respect for you guys. Would gladly visit Vietnam over China anyday. I just feel like I won't be under a giant microscope if I visit Vietnam instead of China.
In Australia the Vietnamese people have assimilated so well and become great people to live and deal with. The Chinese people are still closed and they don't trust anyone. Love yours and C Milks work!!!!!!!!
And "TRUTH" is that? If you say the Chinese people, then you're including all Chinese from other parts of the world who migrated to Australia. I know the Chinese are successful every where they live in and contribute to the country or even run the country's economy. Think first before open your damn mouth next time!
I’ve had three seperate holidays in Vietnam. The food is great and the people good. I would never spend $1 on a holiday in China and I would never buy any Chinese product off the shelf from anywhere in the World. I just won’t play into the hands of a government administration that suffers from compulsive control freak disorder mentality.
Vietnamese are very friendly. Im always welcome at their parties. Im welcome at their homes. I've participated in their weddings. And, im not even asian!!! Very good people!
We travelled vietnam for a month , and rode bikes in dalat and other areas , what a great country with wonderful friendly people. Keep the videos coming love your stuff
Living in Vietnam has brought me much joy. Its a country with many optimizations. As a Vietnam Veteran, I have found the people are not only being forgiving but also forgetting. They don't hold grudges, even in traffic conflicts. Its people bring to the table the greatest asset of all - their personhood. Here you can easily see people that possess respect for each other, honor to elders, family, and country. They have compassion for the poor within their borders and are thankful if they are aware that you wish to assist them. They are patriotic people, they support and have praise for their country. Its future is many-faceted. Most recently, the Chinese Communist Party has had a falling out with President Trump because of the "Chinese virus" unleashed upon the globe. The CCP is now in Trump's floodlight and suffering a crisis of many of the businesses exiting China, China losing the lead role in G5 technology, Huawei being retired to the defeated pile of wannabes, the one belt-one rode is turning into a dead-end or at least a detour (Do not fight with Trump), and Vietnam is reaping great institutional gains of foreign business. This is a shot of hope and advancement for the Vietnamese people. They see a brighter future. On the medical front, we have to put a large feather in the cap of the Vietnamese government for combating the Co-Vid 19. They spared nothing in tackling this unseen enemy. The ex-pats here speak highly of their victory and foreigners feel comfortably safe being in the lockdown of Vietnam instead of their home countries. Again, Vietnamese people are born out of a wonderful culture that is strongly family-oriented and they find their liberty and freedom therein. Although the government is Communist, I would say there seems to be a clash of mindsets. The people in government lean and align themselves to China, while its citizens poll strongly to the West. All and in all, Vietnam is a wonderful country with the most friendly people. May God bless Vietnam.
well i must disagree you in the part where you said "the people in government lean and align themselves to China", vietnamese GoV is very anti-china, but they're not showing it. For example, there were a "civil conflict" between "Vietnamese civil" and "Chinese workers" in the northern border happened like ~10 years ago, the Vietnamese gov themselves planned the whole conflict yet they still bring the siren to border and shouting to our "Vietnamese citizen" to "stop fighting and keep the peace with the chinese" ;) , it's complicated and not always show as it seems.
Socialism is all about democracy, don't think we don't have freedom, that's stupid western propaganda. China it's not really a socialist state, Vietnam is not either but we're closer to socialist than China. Vietnamese ppl are not lean to the West, it just happens that we share same values. The government kinda leans to China, but it plays the balance game of power, so it stays in the center, not really skewed to any side
@@yuehanxinan very well said, vietnams socialism is much more democratic than others and arguably in a way maybe even more democratic that western democracies
As a Chinese growing up in China, I agree with your points. I went to Vietnam once. I can relate to things you say. Keep it up with the good content man. Don’t worry about the hate comments other Chinese make. Most of us’ mindset is limited by the government’s education and censorship. I hope you can understand! Finally: 🇨🇳 ❤️ 🇻🇳
I have never been to China but I have been to Vietnam and it was one of the most amazing places Ive ever been. A beautiful country full of beautiful people. Seriously. I am Canadian so I look and sound American and people were incredibly kind and friendly to me. Yes, there are a lot of people who want your money, but there are also a lot of people who are very generous and will share things with you expecting nothing in return. I find it funny that Winston loves the food there so much now because I specifically remember watching a video with him and C-milk where they were saying they didnt care for Vietnamese food and found it to just be boring soupy meals. Which I found really surprising because I friggen LOVE Vietnamese food and was like dude you guys just dont know what you are missing. One thing I noticed about Vietnam, yes there are a lot of poor people with very little, but they are still so happy. Coming back to Canada, people have everything they could want and they are still miserable and complain about everything. Kind of makes you think.
I know how you feel about the Vietnamese friendliness. I have been there twice. The first time in 1993, we did not even have an embassy or consulate office there yet. My wife’s aunt had arranged the trip there. Being American, I was not sure of the reception I would get. And like you said, I was treated so nice there, and I loved the warm reception there. We went back again in 2018, and by then Americans had been back for some time. And the reception was the same. Will look forward to going back again, when the pandemic is over.
Every country or nation has friendly people and not-so friendly people, I know there are tons of Chinese who love foreigners as well as other countries, your statement is completely biased.
@@sibyllmonroe8419 I'm not too sure if he's only talking about the people. Maybe he meant the policies, the requirements, governments, etc. Like, as a whole
I found the Vietnamese were already open-hearted before the economy was picking up. I found that already 1995, when I was the first time in Hanoi. I travelled all the countries for work, but Vietnam quickly became one of my favourite destinations in Asia.
North American TH-camr When the economy is up, everything will come along. Whereas Vietnam will always be a side bitch of the US. But I agree Vietnam is a beautiful country.
@North American TH-camr Lol western propaganda. You can still see Chinese culture such as wushu, shaolin , feng shui, Peking Opera, etc in china. Haters gonna hate , kbai.
HenryDavidT Actually all countries are using electricity,which was invented in that “western devil”country called America! Do you have any thing against electricity though?Sorry my man,the whole world is progressing,whether a few old stuck-up folks like it or not!
South East Asians don't hold grudges. My family is from Laos, the most heavily bombed country per Capita, and we don't hold any grudges. We just want to move on with our lives.
Everyone have different tastes! You want to get dominated get a Western woman, want a cute little girl who need a lot of food to be activate you go to Vietnam! But the guy above is very rude and definitely a troll based on his name!
I'm not a racist because I'm not white Then prove yourself right. Can you prove that? Your comment is so dumb and you’re probably a troll so I don’t want to talk to an idiot.
As a resident of China and having spent a lot of time in Vietnam previously, I think your description is perfect. Good video. In addition to banh mi, Vietnamese coffee (black without condensed milk) is also awesome. You cannot get that in China, and in the US that blend/roast is hard to find. Vietnam is a hidden gem.
Vietnamese prefer the more bitter Robusta. Ironically Robusta is dirt cheap and considered "inferior" to Arabica. Westerners consume mostly Arabica of course. Also, VNese like to drink super thick coffee, I mean at least 5x thicker than expresso, and that way of preparation removes the acidic taste.
Anthony Le Yes I have lived there, Silicon Valley to be imprecisely exact, and you are right, it is possible to get good Vietnamese coffee in CA. That said, the best Vietnamese coffee I have ever had was in Ho Chi Minh city coffee shops. I have been able to find ok Vietnamese food in many US cities. In China? Never.
Vietnam lifestyle is more like fusion of asian and mediterranean lifestyle - work hard and enjoj life (coffee culture, eating out, being open minded etc).
I've visited Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang. I've never in my life seen so many smiling faces. Just walking down the street and making eye contact with a locals... instant smile. It's really is a magical place. I'll be returning again this December. I'm craving another banh mi and coffee as the sun comes up. :D
Your thought is exactly like Japanese, Korean, France...etc. They always say that they feel Vietnam in the present is a past of their country. As a Vietnamese, I'm so happy that our country is growing everyday. But in the future, I will have to find my Vietnam in another country.
cũng đúng :))) vài chục năm nữa kiểu gì chẳng thế, nói chung khi mọi thứ ở đỉnh thì ngta sẽ ko còn nhiều động lực và vui vẻ/hy vọng nhiều như khi đang nghèo và cố gắng mỗi ngày. Lấy ví dụ đơn giản, giới 8x-9x bây giờ (như mình chẳng hạn) cũng đầy lúc ôi t nhớ ngày xưa, ngày xưa vui lắm...etc kiểu vậy 😂
Khi sự phát triển đi lên tới đỉnh cao nào đó con người sẽ tự có ý thức tiến bộ để đi tìm lại nguồn gốc của mih chẳng hạn như Nhật từ thập niên 80-90s họ bị ảnh hưởng phương Tây rất nhiều nhưng cuối cùng giờ đây họ trở về Nhật Bản
Thank you for posting! I'm half Vietnamese and half Chinese, but grew up in the United States. I've never visited either country, and am looking forward to exploring both! Please continue your awesome work! ❤️🙏
Here in Australia I lived for 14 years in one suburb with a large Vietnamese population and I always found them to be really nice people. Great food too. They did an excellent roll with pork and chilli in it called something like 'banh mi thit'. I'd like to visit Vietnam some time in the future.
@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf If the world keeps heading in the direction it looks like going Australia and Vietnam will need much closer ties between our two countries. In difficult times it helps to have good friends. I think Australia and Vietnam can help each other. Stay happy and healthy mate.
Cool I was a Vietnam Vet and served on the USS Tripoli LPH-10. I was in Haiphong Harbor and remember so well when the Peace treaty was signed. I got a chance to talk to the Yeoman or paper pusher. He told me how it was a slow process of how the table were to be set up for the actually peace treaty signing. So cool. I am glad the war is over. I remember when I was drafted, I told the recruiter that I have nothing against the Vietnamese. Please don’t made me use a gun. I became a medic and the rest is history. I got to save lives. I am now 70 years old born Dec 14, 1950 from S.F., Calif. I am glad Vietnam is doing better, I have many Vietnamese friends. So cool
I'm vietnamese , l'm very proud of my country . Vietnam has a long-standing culture with a great , not only that , Vietnam also has a rich culinary scene with many beatiful landscapes.
Hi Winston, I am Vietnamese, it's really interesting watching your videos about Vietnam and your opinion about the differences between China and Vietnam. To most Westerners, they don't see much of the differences when they first come here but you and C-Milk can bring out some valid points about this. I am sure the longer you stay in our country, you will discover more, like it more and maybe one day, you might decide to migrate to Vietnam with your beautiful doctor wife to live for good hahaha. It would be great if you could convince your wife to go on a trip and visit our country for a few weeks so she can enjoy the good things you have experienced in Vietnam. Most of us are kind of open minded people and we would welcome any good people no matter where they are from to pay a visit here and enjoy our hospitality.
Interesting point you make regarding the lack of animosity towards foreigners. While in Vietnam we also expected to be mistaken for American and were a bit worried how the local people would interact with us. It was amazing to see the lack of animosity and we didn't have any problems at all for 'looking' American. I think this attitude is a huge step forward for Vietnam. Awesome place to travel!

In fact, since forever, the Vietnamese have always been in love with Americans 😂 There are more American expats than the others in Vietnam. We have never held grudges or anything, but actually extremely admire the US and the West in the general.
I'm portuguese, I live in China but have a Vietnamese wife, so I can say I know the reality from both sides. Vietnam all the way!

I found people in Vietnam really friendly. The Smiling people i called them. Here's a good story for you Winston. I am very tall (6' 5'') with big muscles and the Vietnamese loved me. Everyone would come up to me to take photos and touch me,. They saw me as a giant. As you know they are short thin people. Some even thought i was a Hollywood Actor, kept asking what films i was in. Dads would come up to me and make me hold their baby sons in my big arms and i would give them a gentle hug & a smile. I asked my guide why was that and she said the Vietnamese believe my quality in being tall would magically be passed onto their sons. LOL

I love Vietnam and can't wait to go back. You mentioned how welcoming and accepting the people are, I couldn't agree more. However in the mountains of Ha Giang province in the north, I used to get a lot of death stares from old men until I realised the magic password: "không phải người Mỹ, tôi đến từ Úc" - I'm not American, I'm from Australia. Instant smiles and open arms. In the same area you can still see twisted metal and shell and bullet marks on bridges, a legacy of the Chinese invasion in 1979.

Really appreciate what you're doing. With all the geopolitical events going on in China, no one has better insight than you! As long as you're being honest (which I know you have been), your insight and interpretation of Chinese social and cultural transformation is so crucial! Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I am a Vietnamese and currently studying in China. I've been watching most of your videos, they're very informative and useful to me. Way so happy to see you start making video about Vietnam. I wish you have a wonderful moment in Vietnam, and wish to see you one day xD
@@cloroxbleach7837 not totally right sir. don't let media fool you. but i think 100% vietnamese people hate what Chinese government did in South China sea. But we don't hate every Chinese citizen. our atitude depend on their behavior.
@@henryzhu1459 you’re a hater of Vietnam I guess 😂 I just met you in another comment you talk about my people, no wonder why Vietnamese treat you bad :) all because of your attitude
Glad you are learning the diffences between Asian countries. Been to China since 1987 travelling and working several times, Vietnam travelling and working several times since 1993. For your listeners, forget Chjna except for travel, but getting very expensive, Vietnam definitely for travel and work, much cheaper and open as stated.
My wife is Vietnamese and I've been there 6 or 7 times. With the exception of 1 guy on the back of a truck who made a FU sign while we were riding from Binh Duong to Saigon, I have never met a Vietnamese person who wasn't friendly. And my wifes extended family here in Australia are all great people. All intelligent and hard working
I've been to both countries a lot. The BIG difference is that Vietnam is a HAPPY country while China is not. Vietnam has far more individual freedom than the West. As a Westerner, if you asked me after living, as I have in Vietnam for 32 years what's the best aspect about Vietnam, I'd say the harmony and balance between the sexes. There is no discrimination or rabid feminism. Both men and women have equal rights and opportunities and happily live their lives. Religion and petty restriction do not interfere with anyone, unlike the West.
You nailed it. My kid worked there in a school west of Ho Chi Minh City. She learned to dislike older VN men but the VN women and kids were adorable. Good experience for her and appreciates what she has better than before living there.
@@LuvBorderCollies Hmm. Sounds like you are a feminist who enjoys putting down 'older VN men'. Please don't try exporting that feminist hate poison to this happy country of equality of the sexes.
@@starcorpvncj I'm not putting down "older VN men". I'm not the one they were harassing or trying to rip off with their taxi cabs. Its not feminist hate poison, its just reporting the truth. VN is a MUCH happier country than China. I wish much success and prosperity to Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding region. I would choose 1 Vietnamese over 100 China people.
I'm from Hong Kong and basically agree with what the saying in the video. I do hope both countries more open and prosperity, but I feel Vietnam is more open than China in terms of politics and people's mindset. Personally, I rather like Vietnam.
Perfect timing on this informative video. My wife and I are heading over to Vietnam (TPHCM) next week to visit her family. It's been 10 years since the last time we were there. Been watching a few recent videos from vloggers visiting and I can tell it's changed a bit since the last time we visited. Since being with my wife of course I've made a lot of Vietnamese friends who are some of the most friendly people I've ever known.Thanks for the video.
Great video, I love these discussions! I traveled to Vietnam last November but have never traveled to China, so I enjoy watching all three channels for this reason. This October I will be traveling to Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. I've been loving all of the Vietnam videos as well. Thanks guys!
I found ADVChina first and it led me to investigate your respective channels. I absolutely love all 3 channels and I am Beyond excited to see you guys expanding your adventures into new countries. This is my wanderlust fantasy escape!
Return to the present please. Do you see those flags in the background? The US, Vietnam and North Korea. I will believe you if they have 3 sticks flag.
@@minhscollection6209 thats the flag of South Vietnam. its all over the place in Little Saigon even decades after the fall of SV. If anyone displays a current VN flag they will get a ton of abuse. The VN in the US are staunchly anti-commuinitst - indeed most of them fled the communists as boat people or were actual members of the SVN government or army, or their family.
I think the guys work well together because the story telling styles are so different. C milk is more of an emotional story teller, meaning he is good at making you feel the topic. Winston is intellectual story teller, lots of facts makes you think about the topic.
bushtukkaphil yeah I don’t understand why he even had to mention to watch ADVChina even if they don’t like his business partner because I like C-Milk and idk why ppl don’t and say stuff about him?
I have to say I'm quite amazed of what you and C-Milk do in general. I fell on the laowhy channel by chance (i was looking at a guy living in japan) then from there I went to ADVChina and to this channel. Keep up the work you are doing and I'm looking forward to the future adventures on ADVChina
I first found out about CMilk's channel, then yours and then ADVChina and I find that you two work great together! Different perspectives you two have make it a ton more interesting!
When are you lot off to Cambodia? If you love Vietnam, Cambodia is a must-see! It would be interesting to see your take on the Chinese takeover there in terms of resorts and casinos . . .
Thank you both for the work that you do. I learn a lot and I find myself interested at any point throughout your videos. I’m looking forward to the new videos from different countries!
I enjoyed this conversation and the dynamic between you and c milk is spot on. Reminds me of top gear or the grand tour only you guys have more interesting locations to explore. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the Monday updates.
Interesting comparison between the two! Never been to China, but I've been to Vietnam. My family is ethnically Chinese but from Vietnam so I feel more in touch with Vietnamese food than anything else lol I thought your background looked familiar and then it clicked in my mind that it's Phuoc Loc Tho in Little Saigon
China and Vietnam are two totally different places. It may seem like China was like Vietnam 15 years ago so perhaps 15 years from now Vietnam will be like China, however that is totally off. Vietnam does not have a "we once owned the world so we are the best" type of culture like China does. Vietnam has always been fighting off superpowers for almost their entire history and thus they are kind yet confident, and totally open to outsiders. Don't disrespect anyone and you will be treated with nothing but respect.
Vietnames escaped China to be happy. They are open minded. Then they put up with French, Japanese and Americans. They know there are good and bad people in any race. The Vietnamese are resilient people.
@@littlemoutha9998 Japan is smaller than China, But is Japan really "smaller" than China? such typical petty Chinese pride, lol like Serpentza said, pity going around blaming Westerners for their bad situ, pity going around claiming how big u are
Great video. Nice at the end hearing a bit of history on ADV and how you and C-Milk got started. Looking forward to your current and your future journeys. And yep, you and C-Milk have great chemistry.
No. Not quite that. In the 1979 conflict the Chinese wanted only to cause havoc on VN's infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, and consquently VN's economy had been held back for quite a time, while chinese economy barely suffered. So, not quite that we won
SerpentZA, those videos of Viet Nam now remind me so much of South Korea back in the early 1990s. If you ever have the opportunity to cover South Korea, like the Seoul, or Pusan (I think it is now Busan), or Anjeong-ri and Pyeongtaek near Camp Humphreys, please consider it. I love your videos and would love to you cover see other parts of the world, in addition to China.
I moved from London to Vietnam 7 years ago , now I wake up every morning feeling happy instead of feeling depressed .

Vietnam was the country i liked the most between the 10 asian countries i've visited. People are just amazingly kind and i'm black. I've never encounter the subtle or overt racism i encounter elsewhere in Asia.
Because we don't care what color your skin is! We simply want to enjoy this life with you! Ok man
i think most of them are just curious to see a black person which is not common
some even think have the super black skin is nice too
They love black so much even vietnamese women blacken their teeth traditionally. Look it up. Vietnamese dont really care much if you are black yellow purple green. As long you are respectful, reliable, trustworth and act on what you say. Vietnamese dont trust the chinese too much. Chinese from mainland China not the chinese-vietnamese. Bad products that harm vietnamese are from China.

Thanks you.
Thank you so much. I'm so sick of assumptions people made about Vietnam, which includes Vietnam war, Communist party and low living standard. In fact, most of the Vietnamese people are quite care-free and kind-hearted and have strong sense of belonging to community. Communal and familial values practiced throughtout our history has formed a culture that can't be intervened by any political institutions.
@@minhtu_thomas_hoang
What a great shame that Vietnamese communists are not kind-hearted, have a strong sense of belonging to community, and have communal and family values like ordinary Vietnamese. All communists ever think about is how to steal, loot, extract bribes from the hard-working ordinary Vietnamese.
People say vietnam is Communist. But being living here 8 years and it's a great place to live. They love being open to westerners and always happy to speak to y.
I am Vietnamese, I don’t hate Communism and I don’t hate other foreign people.
I think you guys have some sort of bad impression about Communism because your government repeatedly tell you bad things about it or something 😂
I think people still think Communism means that government take your everything and spread it among the people, that’s why people scare of Communism 😂

I am a white American who lives in Thailand and married a Thai. I have been here 6 years . I visit Vietnam a cpla times a year. I was 20 when I began my 30 months in the military in the war. Now when I go, I have Vietnamese friends, veterans of the American war, and I was welcomed everywhere I went. It reminded me of south Vietnam years ago. Just the average person on the street loved me! ...And the food. I love Thai food. I have a very large Vietnamese restaurant not too far from my house and often go there, or pick up returning home and at times order for delivery. I have never ever had a single negative experience in Vietnam ( or Thailand for that matter). O(n my 2 visits to China, it was so uncomfortable... so very uncomfortable. I will never go to China again.
You guys are welcome to stop by here and even stay a little while in my humble abode. One of you would sleep on my sofa bed. BTW, I think some Chinese a wonderful, but the tourism industry has a very large Chinese contingent. And OMG they re the rudest, loudest, most pushy people in a crowd I have ever seen. And spit. Good God do they like to spit. Spit everywhere . And it doesn't matter...I saw a group once at a Big Buddha tourist spot . They were screaming so loud at one another you couldn't have a conversation . Then I noticed the spitting ...right on the walkway into the temple. Me, a white American...and I was appalled...I was aghast! It was so rude. Several Thais gave them dirty looks, but by and large the Thais are too polite to even correct someone. It is considered proper to maintain a "cool heart" and a "cool head" ...not lose your temper.....
Once, at a hotel check out, there was some sort of problem, the clerk explained it, the Chinese kept bitching and bitching...finally I had had enough. Man I went ballistic. Not loud, but I gave them a tongue-lashing they wont soon forget. English...but still. I flat tod them I was not going to tolerate him berating my friend like that. My friend was doing her job, but was too polite to even defend herself. Short of fisticuffs, I believe that is the most drama filled interaction I have ever had. I was so mad. I had been in that hotel for about 2 weeks...and this was my 3rd stay for about 2 weeks to a month. I knew the staff , and found them to be wonderful.
China has a long way to go. Not all. Not every one. But dear God, as a whole, they are a nasty. greedy, rude, impolite society today after a lifetime of communism. No God, no Family...2 of the previous BIG influences in Chinese life, now gone. They will reap what they sow.
Dude slow down I can’t even read -.-
good for you man but pls slow down
My God, you should have met a group of middle-aged people with extremely low quality. They are not particular about it at home. It may be related to the previous growth environment, because China has only developed in recent years. Most people have no education and their quality is generally low.
fuck Chinna
We only say about VN n China..not thailand.
I had a great time in Vietnam. The uniformed immigration guy scared me when I landed. Besides that I had a wonderful time. people were friendly. Someone I met off facebook met up with us to show us around for a few days. Super friendly. Food was cheap. We even had a taxi driver pick us up in rain and drive us about 1km and said it was too short to take our money. We insisted because we knew this young man would be paying it himself. IT was a super nice gesture. Highly recommend a few weeks there!
haha yeah the immigration guy and airports but as soon as u get out it's freein
Same experience with the immigration men
@@Frivals yea and I had a private company meet me there with the visa. I was still scared
Actually, friendliness and hospitality are still the Vietnamese's characteristics and they will not change in any ways even when our country reaches the development as China nowadays. It's in our blood bro and as everyone already knows, you guys can see the happiness, satisfaction around us. We aren't very rich :) but we are open-hearted, united and self-image, btw welcome to Vietnam!! =)))) :3:3:3

I visited China and Vietnam a month ago. I agree with you 100%. I was very comfortable when I was in Vietnam compared to China. Vietnam has surprised me by the kindness of its people and welcomed them with strangers and tourists
Because Chinese has a normal altitude torward foreigners, not over hospitality.
@@henryzhu1459 Has a normal altitude? 😂😂😂 look let's just be honest chinese people look down on foreigners.

Vietnam is also one of my most favourite places. Notice that guy in the background how he tried not to ruin your video. Vietnamese people(most) are so sincere and polite. Honestly I have never met such warm and open people.
Exactly about the man avoid to ruin the video . So cute gesture !
I totally agree with you, when I was in China I found that Chinese people don’t really smile at foreigners, they give you a suspicious look, I felt like I wasn’t well recepted, I worried about being scammed, I worried about the Chinese goverment watching me and my internet activities there were times I worried about my safety, where as in Vietnam people smiled, they welcomed you as a foreigner, I felt safe, being on the internet felt comfortable like I wasnt being monitored, food was cheap, didnt feel like I was going to be scammed, the atmosphere was more relaxed. Overall my experience in Vietnam was way better than in China.
Have to say I have dated Chinese and Vietnamese women and I find Vietnamese women warmer and also they are more well adjusted mentally. Chinese women seem to have a lot of strange behaviour and psychological issues. Interestingly, many Chinese seem to have very high IQ's.
But
We have seen a lot of foreigners here over the past 30-40 years... But when I see foreigners on the street, I always say hello to them in China. It depends on different people.
In Vietnam, whatever happened in the past, we leave it in the past, as long as you feel guilty about what you did to us and be respectful towards us, we will welcome you all the time

@@knhd0505 lmao
Vietnamese territorial waters are now infested with sharks. On the surface sharks kill fishermen. Sharks living underwater eat cables. When they go airborne, they disrupt communication signals. Those different species of sharks have one thing in common: they speak Chinese!

But Viet Nam Internet is still the best kind of internet and very great !

Why would Vietnamese hate Americans? Repelling foreign invaders is their national pastime! I don’t think they even consider humbling the most powerful nation in the free world their finest achievement. These guys beat the Genghis Khan era Mongols. That’s the kind of street creed that the Chinese can’t buy and it shows in the carefree attitude of their people.
To be exact we repelled Khubilan Khan's army. That was a few decades after Genghis Khan's death

We travelled vietnam for a month , and rode bikes in dalat and other areas , what a great country with wonderful friendly people.
Keep the videos coming love your stuff
me too .
I rode my bike from north to south of Vietnam over 2000 km and had the same feeling.
Living in Vietnam has brought me much joy. Its a country with many optimizations. As a Vietnam Veteran, I have found the people are not only being forgiving but also forgetting. They don't hold grudges, even in traffic conflicts. Its people bring to the table the greatest asset of all - their personhood. Here you can easily see people that possess respect for each other, honor to elders, family, and country. They have compassion for the poor within their borders and are thankful if they are aware that you wish to assist them. They are patriotic people, they support and have praise for their country. Its future is many-faceted. Most recently, the Chinese Communist Party has had a falling out with President Trump because of the "Chinese virus" unleashed upon the globe. The CCP is now in Trump's floodlight and suffering a crisis of many of the businesses exiting China, China losing the lead role in G5 technology, Huawei being retired to the defeated pile of wannabes, the one belt-one rode is turning into a dead-end or at least a detour (Do not fight with Trump), and Vietnam is reaping great institutional gains of foreign business. This is a shot of hope and advancement for the Vietnamese people. They see a brighter future. On the medical front, we have to put a large feather in the cap of the Vietnamese government for combating the Co-Vid 19. They spared nothing in tackling this unseen enemy. The ex-pats here speak highly of their victory and foreigners feel comfortably safe being in the lockdown of Vietnam instead of their home countries. Again, Vietnamese people are born out of a wonderful culture that is strongly family-oriented and they find their liberty and freedom therein. Although the government is Communist, I would say there seems to be a clash of mindsets. The people in government lean and align themselves to China, while its citizens poll strongly to the West. All and in all, Vietnam is a wonderful country with the most friendly people. May God bless Vietnam.
Thanks for your comment. And the little thing is, If you learn about Vietnamese politics, you will know that our government is very co-operative.
well i must disagree you in the part where you said "the people in government lean and align themselves to China", vietnamese GoV is very anti-china, but they're not showing it.
For example, there were a "civil conflict" between "Vietnamese civil" and "Chinese workers" in the northern border happened like ~10 years ago, the Vietnamese gov themselves planned the whole conflict yet they still bring the siren to border and shouting to our "Vietnamese citizen" to "stop fighting and keep the peace with the chinese" ;) , it's complicated and not always show as it seems.
Two years down the road, has ☝️ become true?
Socialism is all about democracy, don't think we don't have freedom, that's stupid western propaganda. China it's not really a socialist state, Vietnam is not either but we're closer to socialist than China. Vietnamese ppl are not lean to the West, it just happens that we share same values. The government kinda leans to China, but it plays the balance game of power, so it stays in the center, not really skewed to any side
@@yuehanxinan very well said, vietnams socialism is much more democratic than others and arguably in a way maybe even more democratic that western democracies
As a Chinese growing up in China, I agree with your points. I went to Vietnam once. I can relate to things you say. Keep it up with the good content man. Don’t worry about the hate comments other Chinese make. Most of us’ mindset is limited by the government’s education and censorship. I hope you can understand!

I have never been to China but I have been to Vietnam and it was one of the most amazing places Ive ever been. A beautiful country full of beautiful people. Seriously. I am Canadian so I look and sound American and people were incredibly kind and friendly to me. Yes, there are a lot of people who want your money, but there are also a lot of people who are very generous and will share things with you expecting nothing in return. I find it funny that Winston loves the food there so much now because I specifically remember watching a video with him and C-milk where they were saying they didnt care for Vietnamese food and found it to just be boring soupy meals. Which I found really surprising because I friggen LOVE Vietnamese food and was like dude you guys just dont know what you are missing.
One thing I noticed about Vietnam, yes there are a lot of poor people with very little, but they are still so happy. Coming back to Canada, people have everything they could want and they are still miserable and complain about everything. Kind of makes you think.
I love Vietnam..
thanks
I know how you feel about the Vietnamese friendliness. I have been there twice. The first time in 1993, we did not even have an embassy or consulate office there yet. My wife’s aunt had arranged the trip there. Being American, I was not sure of the reception I would get. And like you said, I was treated so nice there, and I loved the warm reception there.
We went back again in 2018, and by then Americans had been back for some time. And the reception was the same. Will look forward to going back again, when the pandemic is over.
thank you!! I hope you will have another great trip here ~
I'm also counting down to the day I can visit Vietnam again after the pandemic.

As a resident of China and having spent a lot of time in Vietnam previously, I think your description is perfect. Good video. In addition to banh mi, Vietnamese coffee (black without condensed milk) is also awesome. You cannot get that in China, and in the US that blend/roast is hard to find. Vietnam is a hidden gem.
Vietnamese prefer the more bitter Robusta. Ironically Robusta is dirt cheap and considered "inferior" to Arabica. Westerners consume mostly Arabica of course. Also, VNese like to drink super thick coffee, I mean at least 5x thicker than expresso, and that way of preparation removes the acidic taste.
Hanoi Müsli It's great coffee. Really unique and tastes awesome.
Have you been or lived in CA? We have all kinds of Vietnamese food and coffee here!
Anthony Le Yes I have lived there, Silicon Valley to be imprecisely exact, and you are right, it is possible to get good Vietnamese coffee in CA. That said, the best Vietnamese coffee I have ever had was in Ho Chi Minh city coffee shops. I have been able to find ok Vietnamese food in many US cities. In China? Never.
Please try the egg coffee as well
Vietnam lifestyle is more like fusion of asian and mediterranean lifestyle - work hard and enjoj life (coffee culture, eating out, being open minded etc).
Great description. Spot on.
Now, Watching this. It felt like Vietnam is much safe than Hong Kong. That’s why I do have a love for Vietnam.
I've visited Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang. I've never in my life seen so many smiling faces. Just walking down the street and making eye contact with a locals... instant smile.

Hi Winston, I am Vietnamese, it's really interesting watching your videos about Vietnam and your opinion about the differences between China and Vietnam. To most Westerners, they don't see much of the differences when they first come here but you and C-Milk can bring out some valid points about this. I am sure the longer you stay in our country, you will discover more, like it more and maybe one day, you might decide to migrate to Vietnam with your beautiful doctor wife to live for good hahaha. It would be great if you could convince your wife to go on a trip and visit our country for a few weeks so she can enjoy the good things you have experienced in Vietnam. Most of us are kind of open minded people and we would welcome any good people no matter where they are from to pay a visit here and enjoy our hospitality.
No matter what you do.
Don't listen to what the communist says. But look closely at what the communist does.
Interesting point you make regarding the lack of animosity towards foreigners. While in Vietnam we also expected to be mistaken for American and were a bit worried how the local people would interact with us. It was amazing to see the lack of animosity and we didn't have any problems at all for 'looking' American. I think this attitude is a huge step forward for Vietnam. Awesome place to travel!

This is such a good perspective Winston, thanks for sharing it and your knowledge of both Vietnam and China
I'm portuguese, I live in China but have a Vietnamese wife, so I can say I know the reality from both sides.
Vietnam all the way!
You say, Vietnam all the way. Seems like you know too much, right? So big companies withdraw their factories in China and then go to Vietnam and understand your way, they are stupits and you are smart. The latest example is Warren Buffett's shoe company.
@ I honestly don't get your point here ... should I bother trying?

@ ông nói gì vậy google dịch nó dịch ko hiểu ?
@@quinguyen205 Ý tôi nói là nó : Có vẻ biết nhiều. Khi các công ty lớn rút hồ sơ ở Trung Quốc rồi sang Việt Nam.

I found people in Vietnam really friendly. The Smiling people i called them. Here's a good story for you Winston. I am very tall (6' 5'') with big muscles and the Vietnamese loved me. Everyone would come up to me to take photos and touch me,. They saw me as a giant. As you know they are short thin people. Some even thought i was a Hollywood Actor, kept asking what films i was in. Dads would come up to me and make me hold their baby sons in my big arms and i would give them a gentle hug & a smile. I asked my guide why was that and she said the Vietnamese believe my quality in being tall would magically be passed onto their sons. LOL
Lmao..That instructor's explanation seems very convincing
They think that you are a perfect genetic human
tôi chỉ biết cười thôi :)))
True. We let monks touch son's head to pass the fresh thinking to his spirit and soul.
China : i will invade south china sea
Indonesia : i introduce you to our friends
Vietnam : hi china
China said that the islands, lands and mountains of other countries belong to China. But China said that Corona virus does not belong to China
*Block your Path*
China : I got Islands & Military Missile Base in South China Sea haha
Indo & Viet : NOOOOOOO not my Waterino and Islandino, west pls help us
@@rickyohsaiga7896 china be like : this is mine that is mine everything is mine
Aslo china when talk about covid : that's not mineeee you being *mean* to me
The problem with a lot of Chinese, like my ex wife is that they are too selfish.
They are obsessed with materialism and lack empathy, compassion towards other people.
Then why tf did you marry a Chinese woman?
@@fredcarls4938 Even the best of us make mistakes.
@@user-ov5nd1fb7s be honest, u made me laugh successfully.. how dare u think China is ur ex, u should know the relationship between China and Vietnam more lika parent. and ur Vietnam is the Not FILIAL SON. remember that.
@@Jennifer-vg7yw I dare to think she is my ex because I divorced her. What a strange concept, right?

I am a 70 year old retired American in Florida and happy . I find all of you guys to be entertaining , educational , and well intentioned . Even Prozzie being from Canada I can mostly overlook !! Best to you all !!! Thanks for your hard work . I follow all 6 channels !!
How did you come to find the channels Marvin?
0:56 I can’t stop laughing 😂 you put the metal gear solid detection sound so good
That is Vietcong
I love Vietnam and can't wait to go back. You mentioned how welcoming and accepting the people are, I couldn't agree more. However in the mountains of Ha Giang province in the north, I used to get a lot of death stares from old men until I realised the magic password: "không phải người Mỹ, tôi đến từ Úc" - I'm not American, I'm from Australia. Instant smiles and open arms. In the same area you can still see twisted metal and shell and bullet marks on bridges, a legacy of the Chinese invasion in 1979.
charlieinsingapore maybe they’re only the old generation
And moreover-maybe after the war his family was broken maybe lost the parents , child, or who he or she loves
Interesting since Australians fought in Vietnam also.
It is the way they start flirting with you.
I got the opposite reaction. I am an American who can also speak Vietnamese. Maybe youre just ugly :p
@@nneuhaus84 people in southern VN are very friendly to America because South VN used to be a puppet of the US.
I think you and cmilk have chemistry that makes your videos interesting. You always amazed me with your original content.
Really appreciate what you're doing. With all the geopolitical events going on in China, no one has better insight than you! As long as you're being honest (which I know you have been), your insight and interpretation of Chinese social and cultural transformation is so crucial! Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I am a Vietnamese and currently studying in China. I've been watching most of your videos, they're very informative and useful to me. Way so happy to see you start making video about Vietnam. I wish you have a wonderful moment in Vietnam, and wish to see you one day xD
Thought you guys are really hate everything about china and better never visit that place...
@@cloroxbleach7837 not totally right sir. don't let media fool you. but i think 100% vietnamese people hate what Chinese government did in South China sea. But we don't hate every Chinese citizen. our atitude depend on their behavior.
@@mrquan6395 chuẩn rồi bạn tặng 1 like 👍👍👍👍
@@mrquan6395 some of you, hate Chinese too. And those Vietnamese are very rude.
@@henryzhu1459 you’re a hater of Vietnam I guess 😂 I just met you in another comment you talk about my people, no wonder why Vietnamese treat you bad :) all because of your attitude
Glad you are learning the diffences between Asian countries. Been to China since 1987 travelling and working several times, Vietnam travelling and working several times since 1993. For your listeners, forget Chjna except for travel, but getting very expensive, Vietnam definitely for travel and work, much cheaper and open as stated.
My wife is Vietnamese and I've been there 6 or 7 times. With the exception of 1 guy on the back of a truck who made a FU sign while we were riding from Binh Duong to Saigon, I have never met a Vietnamese person who wasn't friendly. And my wifes extended family here in Australia are all great people. All intelligent and hard working
Your work is amazing and has expanded my understanding of the emence changes that have occurred globally.
I've been to both countries a lot. The BIG difference is that Vietnam is a HAPPY country while China is not. Vietnam has far more individual freedom than the West. As a Westerner, if you asked me after living, as I have in Vietnam for 32 years what's the best aspect about Vietnam, I'd say the harmony and balance between the sexes. There is no discrimination or rabid feminism. Both men and women have equal rights and opportunities and happily live their lives. Religion and petty restriction do not interfere with anyone, unlike the West.
You nailed it. My kid worked there in a school west of Ho Chi Minh City. She learned to dislike older VN men but the VN women and kids were adorable. Good experience for her and appreciates what she has better than before living there.
@@LuvBorderCollies Hmm. Sounds like you are a feminist who enjoys putting down 'older VN men'. Please don't try exporting that feminist hate poison to this happy country of equality of the sexes.
@@starcorpvncj I'm not putting down "older VN men". I'm not the one they were harassing or trying to rip off with their taxi cabs. Its not feminist hate poison, its just reporting the truth. VN is a MUCH happier country than China. I wish much success and prosperity to Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding region. I would choose 1 Vietnamese over 100 China people.
@@LuvBorderCollies Noted. Cheers.
I'm from Hong Kong and basically agree with what the saying in the video. I do hope both countries more open and prosperity, but I feel Vietnam is more open than China in terms of politics and people's mindset. Personally, I rather like Vietnam.
Oh, even hongkong ppl don't like china, sad ;(
Perfect timing on this informative video. My wife and I are heading over to Vietnam (TPHCM) next week to visit her family. It's been 10 years since the last time we were there. Been watching a few recent videos from vloggers visiting and I can tell it's changed a bit since the last time we visited. Since being with my wife of course I've made a lot of Vietnamese friends who are some of the most friendly people I've ever known.Thanks for the video.
Great video, I love these discussions! I traveled to Vietnam last November but have never traveled to China, so I enjoy watching all three channels for this reason. This October I will be traveling to Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. I've been loving all of the Vietnam videos as well. Thanks guys!
You left 1 most important thing in Vietnam
The Women are so more prettier ❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Little Moutha both
Isn’t this why they keep selling women to Chinese people? Lol
alex w HMMMMMM
and they don't walk around frowning
@Witch Chan Key: Southern Vietnamese.
You have an overall sense of well-being while discussing Vietnam!
I found ADVChina first and it led me to investigate your respective channels. I absolutely love all 3 channels and I am
Beyond excited to see you guys expanding your adventures into new countries. This is my wanderlust fantasy escape!
You articulated Vietnam very well. Thank you!
ADVChina is how I found you in the first place. Awesome seeing different parts you normally don't get to see.
You recorded this video in front of Little Saigon mall at Westminster, CA. Good to see you visiting my town Southern California.
well that explains the bank of america
lol I was thinking the same thing right now
Return to the present please. Do you see those flags in the background? The US, Vietnam and North Korea. I will believe you if they have 3 sticks flag.
Việt Nam Dân Chủ Cộng Hòa 3que? It’s way better than “Máu tháng thêm chút ỉa đùn”
@@minhscollection6209 thats the flag of South Vietnam. its all over the place in Little Saigon even decades after the fall of SV. If anyone displays a current VN flag they will get a ton of abuse. The VN in the US are staunchly anti-commuinitst - indeed most of them fled the communists as boat people or were actual members of the SVN government or army, or their family.
I think the guys work well together because the story telling styles are so different. C milk is more of an emotional story teller, meaning he is good at making you feel the topic. Winston is intellectual story teller, lots of facts makes you think about the topic.
Excellent observation I agree
Like they are both good but as a team they are great
Dude. Love your videos. And ADV China is equally entertaining. Look forward to them all ..oh and laowhy 86. Keep doing what your doing.
bushtukkaphil yeah I don’t understand why he even had to mention to watch ADVChina even if they don’t like his business partner because I like C-Milk and idk why ppl don’t and say stuff about him?
I have to say I'm quite amazed of what you and C-Milk do in general. I fell on the laowhy channel by chance (i was looking at a guy living in japan) then from there I went to ADVChina and to this channel. Keep up the work you are doing and I'm looking forward to the future adventures on ADVChina
Awesome
Vietnamese are like Filipinos who don't hold animosity against past enemies, but Chinese and Koreans do.
Chinese have a saying “real men can wait 10 years for a chance to take revenge on enemy”
Applies to any past enemy except China
I first found out about CMilk's channel, then yours and then ADVChina and I find that you two work great together! Different perspectives you two have make it a ton more interesting!
"It's cheaper, so that makes up for it!" I see that Chinese habits are rubbing off on you :)
lol
Well. I dont't see any problem in this, unless you own billions. Does this have anything to do with China?
呵呵哒，您老说的是
When you don't have money, you won't say that.
When are you lot off to Cambodia? If you love Vietnam, Cambodia is a must-see! It would be interesting to see your take on the Chinese takeover there in terms of resorts and casinos . . .
Thank you both for the work that you do. I learn a lot and I find myself interested at any point throughout your videos. I’m looking forward to the new videos from different countries!
I enjoyed this conversation and the dynamic between you and c milk is spot on. Reminds me of top gear or the grand tour only you guys have more interesting locations to explore. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the Monday updates.
Wow well maybe instead of visiting China I should visit Vietnam 🇻🇳 instead.
Love ADV China it's how I found you guys. Keep at it and I'll keep watching.
Several years now I’ve been enjoying your ADV channel!
Staying awesome! 😎
Interesting comparison between the two! Never been to China, but I've been to Vietnam. My family is ethnically Chinese but from Vietnam so I feel more in touch with Vietnamese food than anything else lol
I thought your background looked familiar and then it clicked in my mind that it's Phuoc Loc Tho in Little Saigon
China and Vietnam are two totally different places. It may seem like China was like Vietnam 15 years ago so perhaps 15 years from now Vietnam will be like China, however that is totally off. Vietnam does not have a "we once owned the world so we are the best" type of culture like China does. Vietnam has always been fighting off superpowers for almost their entire history and thus they are kind yet confident, and totally open to outsiders. Don't disrespect anyone and you will be treated with nothing but respect.
Bro your videos are amazingly informative. Thank you!
Vietnames escaped China to be happy. They are open minded. Then they put up with French, Japanese and Americans. They know there are good and bad people in any race. The Vietnamese are resilient people.
vietnamese is cute loveable 1000x% better than chinese 11/10 would go again!
@Xi Jinping outside ? yes
inside? hell no.
difference between Vietnam and China? You look happier in Vietnam :D
@@littlemoutha9998 Japan is smaller than China, But is Japan really "smaller" than China? such typical petty Chinese pride, lol like Serpentza said, pity going around blaming Westerners for their bad situ, pity going around claiming how big u are

1st time ever comment... this guy said everything I have ever been to say about my country compared to CHINA....LIKE IF YOU LOVE VIETNAM OVER CHINA
weird comment you have up there...
Yeah that's pretty weird
Because u are vietnamese

This is a anti-China channel

Great video. Nice at the end hearing a bit of history on ADV and how you and C-Milk got started. Looking forward to your current and your future journeys. And yep, you and C-Milk have great chemistry.
Advchina is awesome. I love that you guys video while riding the bikes. It honestly makes me feel as if I'm traveling there with you guys.
Keep it up!
I love Vietnam! (From Taiwan).

1979 Vietnam/china war China lost this war.
China and Vietnam each declared victory，The main location of the war is still in Yunnan border China
The main location is Cambodia.
No. Not quite that. In the 1979 conflict the Chinese wanted only to cause havoc on VN's infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, and consquently VN's economy had been held back for quite a time, while chinese economy barely suffered. So, not quite that we won
SerpentZA, those videos of Viet Nam now remind me so much of South Korea back in the early 1990s. If you ever have the opportunity to cover South Korea, like the Seoul, or Pusan (I think it is now Busan), or Anjeong-ri and Pyeongtaek near Camp Humphreys, please consider it. I love your videos and would love to you cover see other parts of the world, in addition to China.
