II went to Vietnam for Vacation 20 years ago, stayed for 2 month, went back to America sold everything within 6 months went back to VN and been here ever since.
@@20luzer52 I’ve been retired for 6 yrs, Im now 57 enjoying life raising my 2 young kid with my beautiful Vietnamese wife of 19 yrs. Best decision Of my life and thanks! Hope you can make your dream come true too.
Wow, I can’t imagine life here in Vietnam 20 years ago. I have been married twice before In America. My 2nd wife passed away after 19 years of marriage. A few years later I long distance dated a lady in Vietnam for 3 years. Came to visit last year to meet her and her family. Went back to America. A few months later my mom passed away of 92. After taking care of her. So I also sold everything I had. Moved to Vietnam. And married and been here ever since. Love Vietnam. Still have a lot to learn.
That's how I feel now. I have been on meds for depression and insomnia since I have been living in the states but I have no choice. My son has better education and better future in the states compared to communist Vietnam.
As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") to see millions of footages across the country from North to South, spanning for decades, dated back to Ho Chi Minh's bloody land reform 1953-1956 that killed nearly 1 million North Vietnamese in only 4 years, or 250K people brutally slaughtered in torturous painful deaths (like being shot, stabbed, mutilated while being alive, or heads being plowed over by water buffaloes while bodies being buried underground) each year on average to rob their lands and homes. Even today, if the rightful owners refuse to have their homes or lands robbed, the ruthless Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime simply jail or massacre them, have tractors run over their bodies or openly assassinate them in their own homes. When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
I'm in Vietnam for 3 months. Been here a month and a half already, but I also lived in Philippines for 4 months and lived in Thailand for 1 year. Trust me, the feeling is the same in Philippines and Thailand too.
South east Asia countries definitely have that warm atmosphere to them. Thailand and Laos are the same too tbh. The life is busy, fruits and food are so diverse and yummy, the people are outgoing
Living and working in America is so depressing. I’m working 7 days a week 10 hr days just to stay ahead of the game. My social life in non existence and nothing is fun anymore. My family barely spends time with me, we only live to work. I don’t see it getting any better for us..
feel the same way , I work hard 5-6 days a week , family doesnt have time for me and my wife, saving money for a good retirement , but could retire tomorrow in Vietnam .
I am Vietnamese living in California. Just came back to Saigon for a short trip and that had changed my mind of wanting to go back there and live cuz I feel more like home and welcomed. People are friendly and everything is great.
Vietnam is real and the people are genuine and they dont take anything for granted they are kind loving and happy and it shows in all the things they do.
I’m Vietnamese living in the US for about 45 years now. I go back there almost every year for a month or so… What I really like is that it’s so lively every single day, compared to here. I’m glad to see you like it there, because it takes some courage to move to a country you’re not familiar with. I do plan on living in Asia half year, and back to the US the half, when I retire.
@@tomwinds9729 thank you! but yea i get depress every time i go there, and return to California. hahah. in the US, everyone goes to work 9-5, then straight home after. In Vietnam its like the weekends every day, with hundreds of thousands of people out and about every day.
I now clearly understand why Anthony Bourdain (RIP) loved Vietnam. Vietnam, it grabs me and doesn't let go 😁 I missed its delicious street food, I missed its spectacular scenery. I missed Hoi An. I missed everything. I gonna be back in Vietnam in December, which will be my fifth trip to Vietnam!
I'm Vietnamese, lately I often watch travel videos of foreign traverlers. I realized that even though I'm over 40 years old, I don't understand Vietnam much. Vietnam has a long terrain with many different climates, cultures, mountains, seas, plains... and you need a lot of time to experience it. I will travel again from the beginning. You can check some hashtags: #hagiangloop #catbaisland #sondoongcave
What happened?. Vietnamese people who are afraid of communism find ways to live in the United States and Canada. On the contrary, there are Americans and Canadians who like to return to Vietnam to live with the communists!
@@rundle888 That is Vietnam's internal conflict since the unification of Vietnam on April 30, 1975. France invaded Vietnam in 1858, then they divided Vietnam into 3 regions, to cause division between regions. Vietnam defeated France in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. After that, the Geneva Agreement stipulated that Vietnam would have general elections in the country in 1956, but the US did not want that. The US dropped nearly 8 million tons of bombs on Vietnam, three times the total number of bombs in World War II, each Vietnamese person suffered 0.25 tons of bombs. But America does not have any remedies even though America always claims to be the most democratic and humane nation in the world.
@@rundle888 I want to share the second story, America invaded Iraq but could not find a reason. The country and people of Iraq are more hungry and poorer, their houses are ruined, but the US does nothing. On the contrary, American oil companies have the opportunity to make huge profits. That's why people in Vietnam, Iraq, Palestine... are poor and in conflict with each other, but America and France are very rich, democratic, and civilized.
Love the positive vibes you always give. You've no idea how many foreigners you've inspired to come to Vietnam man. What's more amazing is that your doing this is purely driven by your love for this country, which is even greater than that of many Vietnamese. Thank you so much, and keep it up!
@@Elite_Employee people with high income in Vietnam is dying to leave the country for United States. Speaking from experience of Vietnamese living in USA
am back in uk selling up all my stuff to head back over end of this yr with no plans of ever coming back to live in the west again! can't wait to get back!
After spending nearly three months in Saigon earlier in the year it made me appreciate certain things more about living here in the U.S. especially living close to my family and having a young daughter. At the end of the day though I have to agree with you that due to the cost of living we really enjoy our time there in Vietnam. It was also really nice to have all the help from my wife’s family with taking care of our daughter. Our lives here in Seattle are just your typical go to work and come home 5 days a week. Enjoy our weekend and then do it all over again. Everything has gotten so expensive we rarely get to do the things we enjoy. It doesn’t really feel like living life to it’s fullest. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m so happy for you. Cost of living here in the US is out of control. I’m glad you chose VN as your new home. You’re actually walking around the neighborhood that I grew up in.
Yeah, I know it’s good to choose the US because there’s a lot of benefits there too, but I think a lot of it is ruled by the people who are in control, allowing the people who are other foreigners to buy up land and now that we have less land and the land are much more expensivewe have a lot of people who cannot afford a place to live, and the landlord keeps increasing the rent. It’s just not right and only people who can afford to escape all the ones who can afford to fly back-and-forth to Vietnam and that is not cheap.
I miss you too. I am glad that VietNam makes you so happy and inspires you. As long as living there gives you joy, then I am happy. I would rather you be happy and fulfilled. I miss you terribly, but your happiness is all that I want. Talking, texting, and video chats help. In a lot of ways we speak more and our conversations are much more meaningful when you are away. Also, anytime I am really needing my Tyler fix, I can just pull up one of your Vlogs. Win for me. Love you. Miss you
I was in Da Nang, Hue, and Hoi An in Sep 2022 and had a blast. As you said, the people there are incredibly outwardly friendly, and in the best way. The prices can't be beat.
I live in Orange County and enjoy a comfortable life, but Saigon and Vietnam in general feel like my true home. We're planning to return soon and make it our permanent residence. We only have one life, so it's important to live where you're happiest. Thanks for the videos! I first discovered you through Alex on Ninja Teacher. Keep up the great work!
Nhưng một số người Việt ở Quận Cam ( cờ vàng ) không thích bạn nói như vậy. Nếu họ biết bạn yêu Việt Nam họ sẽ nói rằng “ Cút về Việt Nam mà ở”. Thật đau lòng cho các cụ già bên đó.
@@MrBuiquochung I believe you may be reading too much into my statement. I deeply appreciate America, but I also cherish Vietnam-its culture, its people, and the comfortable lifestyle it offers. With many family members in Vietnam, spending time with those I care about most is invaluable and irreplaceable.
I spent a few months and have visited my cousins many times in VN, but I’m so glad for Orange County. Cleaner air and food safety. I like VN but it’s hard to go outside my daily walking and exercising. OC has everything I want except for some of my favorite fruits.
I gonna be back in Vietnam in December, which will be my fifth trip to Vietnam! I missed its delicious street food, I missed its spectacular scenery. I now understand why Anthony Bourdain (RIP) said so.
Really bro, I have same feelings with u. Be honest, I gotta work for next 20 years to be able to go back there for the retirement. You make me proud of being a Vietnamese. Thanks for loving my country. Best wishes.
Welcome back! I've been in Saigon for 2 months and go back to So Cal soon. It's funny because I grew up in Anaheim, near Little Saigon in Garden Grove/Westminster, and have lived in Corona for the last 15 years. It was crazy to see your videos in both Riverside and OC. Anyway, I had slight culture shock when I got here mostly because of the motorbikes driving down the sidewalks and sometimes cars even. Crossing the street can be a bit nerve-wracking too. On the flip side, the people are incredibly friendly and you cannot beat the prices for food. Although I'm looking forward to going home for a couple of months to spend time with family and friends, I'm not really counting down the days. Thankfully, I'll be back. Thanks for your videos, they're enjoyable and informative! I started watching them when I was back home and continue to watch your videos while here. Good luck!
Vietnam had an energy I couldn't explain, I was there for a month and visited the major cities like HCMC, Hanoi, Hoi An, Da Nang and my favorite place in Vietnam was the Ha Giang loop. The freedom I had traveling on the road (it was with a group motorcycle tour) was unmatched, every new turn we saw a new mountain range and deep canyons with rivers in them. I loved it and loved the home stays with locals, truly a once in a lifetime experience, I can't wait to get back.
@@BigTimeBentley Because you are WHITE( not to race), you are welcome everywhere in VN. I am Vietnamese, and I am not treated like you are. LOL. And if you go to the American Embassy, you will see a long line of Vietnamese applying for visas to get out of Vietnam.
Đọc phản hồi của bạn tôi thấy nguồn năng lượng đó vẫn cháy mãi trong bạn. Mong bạn sơm quay lại Việt Nam và đón nhận tiếp nguồn năng lượng đó. Chúc bạn mọi điều tốt đẹp nhất.
Thanks for the vblog. I just returned from Da Nang. That was the most exelerating and incredible experience. Especially Ba Na Hills with so many kilometers cable car ride and going on top of the mountain. Vietnam was my last stop after Malaysia, Thailand and HK and Phillipines. Vietnamese are the most prettiest in SE Asia. On day one I felt at home. I rented a motorcycle and was zipping around town like madman! After the microwave oven Malaysia, feeling the cool breeze on my face Especially while in the bike, I felt I'm in the heaven. At night by Dragon bridge there was million of local and tourists gathering for the fire show. I sat in a restaurant sidewalk and ate the delicious Pho Ga and enjoyed these beautiful people pass by. The day I was at the airport returning to SF I had a lump in my throat. These people are the friendliest crowd in the world. BTW, when shooting video please say where you are in vietnam. Keep up the good work. ❤🎉🙏👍👌
Wow, as a Vietnamese guy, I could never have imagined that anyone'd find Vietnam this special. So the country has shown you its good sides, but hope u won't be too disappointed with the bad ones if you may see them when you come back one day. And maybe u were just unlucky in Malay and Thailand, they are wonderful countries with so many things that Vietnam should learn from.
Damn dude. Much respect that you find your happiness in Vietnam. Your pronunciation is like a real Vietnamese. Phuc Map, the other TH-camr, from Florida now lives in Vietnam and teaching Vietnamese online. Surreal!!
I just discovered your channel and I really like it. I also plan to retire in Vietnam in several years and I find myself thinking about how it would work out. I find it very interesting that the Vietnamese people are so friendly and helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience and your insight into Vietnam from an American perspective. Keep up the good work.
You are right, Most Americans laugh and look down at people who speak "spoken English". In Vietnam, we find you cute when you talk in "spoken Vietnamese" and are excited to help you improve your language skills. Welcome to Vietnam 😀
When I moved here 30 years ago from the New York area if you wanted to call home you had to go to the central post office and pay 10 USD for three minutes. They would assign one of the booths to you and a clock started to tick off the remaining time with the line cut at the exact three minute mark. Now internet costs about 10 dollars a month and one could stay on line the entire month!
Man, I'm also living in Vietnam more than 1,5 year, in Nhatrang) I agree with all that you said in the video. Btw, that's so cool, that you can speak Vietnamese) Peace out.
Now, we’re in business. Not that I feel better if you’re not “home” home with your dad and mom, but we found you originally in Vietnam so we’re used to seeing you there. Great that you had a chance to spend quality time in the US with your dad, mom and immediate family. Welcome back to VN, Tyler!
American living in Germany. Spent 3 weeks in Vietnam in April 2023 - the usual tourist itinerary: one week in Ha Noi, one in Da Nang, the third one in HCMC. Fell in love with the whole country. The neighborhood you walked through at beginning is exactly where I stayed in HCMC. The Crazy Horse Garden Bar - I think I even took a picture of it. I spent a couple of evenings in Bar Legato nearby and a Japanese izikaya across from the hotel I stayed in. Want to go back for much, much longer. And I relate to the sports/baseball thing even in Germany. Is that the neighborhood you live in? If so, good area? I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT.
I'm with you. I've been going for extended times in Nha Trang. My in-laws are such great people. I wife and daughter are from Nha Trang. I have folks all over the South, but NHA TRANG IS HOME.
Welcome back Tyler. I miss watching your videos while you were gone. I saw a couple of videos where you and your Dad had VN food in little Saigon somewhere, but it is different. I am so glad to see you back in VN and look forward to seeing many more of your videos in VN. 😊
Vietnam definitely has a magic about it. I was there for a couple of weeks last year and have been obsessed with it ever since lol. I cannot wait to go back.
My wife (VN) and I came to US in 2022… trying to get back to VN in the future… buy some rentals in the city and live in Vung Tau Beach. Good luck man. I sure miss my adoptive home, VN.
I know exactly how it feels! I am moving back to Slovakia from California and very gladly I'll leave behind the stressful life in USA. I will miss some of my American friends, though.
Bro got the southern Vietnamese accent, good for you for learning the native language. I was born in VN (during the war) but grew up in the US (SoCal/east coast) for about 5 decades now. Been to VN many times and I loved it!
Hi, you made this video where I used to live when I was out there for 3 years. I miss Vietnam so much and want to return. Totally get your other video too about reverse culture. I’ve felt really down since being back in the UK. 😢
I’m an American who lives in Taiwan, and my experiences with acculturation, etc., have been very similar to yours. Like you, I take weekly Mandarin Chinese lessons because I live here, and this is my home now. Interesting video; thanks for posting it!
I just subscribed! Your Vietnamese is very clear and easy to understand, your pronunciation of the accents are really good. Keep learning, you’ll speak like a local in no time!
My wife is Vietnamese, and we will be traveling to Vietnam in a few days for 2 months. We did the same thing last year. We always have a great time and are looking forward to getting back to visiting with friends and family around Saigon. The one thing I struggle with is the food. It doesn't seem to sit well with me even though I love it. Any suggestions?
Moved to VN 3 months ago & loving it. I'm not materialistic, so I fit right in, most people don't have much, so I feel so blessed to have come from US, have virtual job earning US $ & spending it cheaply in VN, best of both worlds. Everything is cheap & efficient here, which I love.
Welcome back, regarding football or soccer. Vietnamese is a big fan as well if you have family members or friends they will have some foods and beer to watch games with you. Or any local coffee will open for late football games which is super fun if you enjoy it.
Welcome back man. At the airport, have just left Saigon after a visit over a long weekend and wish I could have stayed longer. Back to Beijing, for now.
I admire you for your ability to speak Vietnamese , I assume that your partner is a local, but it's still it's a bug deal. I'm an Mexican-American, i was married 24 years to a Vietnamese woman, and I didn't learn more then 3 words. I salute you from Pennsylvania.
Polar opposite countries. Vietnam is much more fun and affordable. People are much more friendly and there is so much more energy from always being surrounded by people. Downside, lots of pollution (air, noise, etc). America you get fresh air and comfort (driving a car, more space, no language barriers). 9 months in VN and 3 summer months in America each year is the way to go
There will come a day when you can no longer stomach the 16-hour long flight. At that time you have to pick just one of the two locations to settle down.
@@alfaromeo6985 that’s very true. I think I’d rather spend my whole year in the US because you may not be able to have better healthcare in Vietnam and for people who like cooler climate the US is better for them. There’s always a language barrier.
@@alfaromeo6985I've been doing it for 10 years. It's tough but it's peace of mind too. Essentially the expats who do it the best are the ones that cut off everything back in their home country. You kind of have to let go of everything if you're going to spend a few straight years in VN and only travel extremely sporadically back to your home country. And that's tough to do
I am originally from VN and it is still too hot for me 9 out of 12 months. But you are wrong about health care, you can pay out of pocket at private practice in VN and it is much better and still better than paying with insurance in US. A dental implant with insurance cost $500 with good insurance in US vs $250 at a private practice ($50 at pubic hospital but let’s go with the most expensive one why not). A vagina delivery for my first kid cost 3k with insurance in US. Our second kid delivered in Vinmec for 2k (the hospital is better than a typical Marriot in New York. The only thing that US healthcare is better is new therapy like Alzheimer, PPD, weight loss (but you won’t need this drug when you live in VN 😅). But they still be available in Asia in a couple of years. Oh and all of those cost advantage didn’t even account for insurance premium (which I pay 5k/year for family and my employer pays 25k/year - fuck me if I lose my job). It is a real no brainer to ditch US for anywhere else in the world when you retire, which is the scenario when one can’t no longer make 16hrs flight. I personally will choose Europe since VN is too hot.
@@andyma1400 where is Europe what about the language barrier in Europe? Have you figure out the cost of insurance in Europe yet? How do you figure that they will allow you to retire there? Do you need a special visa or something?
Thank you for your time and posting. What I like, is no graffiti. I really don't have any family, don't watch sports, and don't drink coffee. Okay, I do watch pickleball. :) I lived in Australia for 6 years, and Germany for 3 years (military). I retired with a smaller fixed income with SS, but because of some VA claims, I can now travel and not worry about money. :) So I'll be in VN in October. If I like it, I'll come back, sell my car and computer and return. Thanks again.
Hi Tyler, welcome back to Vietnam. It is nice to see you consider Vietnam as your home or 2nd home. I see that you are excited to be back to Vietnam, but at the same time you are missing your family in USA. I hope you will do well in Vietnam.
I used to work in Việt Nam . I knew the some guys were from America . I asked them why you guys don’t go back to America, they said they couldn’t do anything there ( mean jobless…) but in Viet Nam, they live like the king
They live like kings teaching english. Teaching english is a dead end career. Maybe expats become middle aged, disgruntled ESL teachers. They hate live in Vietnam but can't leave because they have nothing back home.
Looking for in going vietnam soon again . Been 3 times in just over a year.Would love too meet your gf and you there when I come back . I know some Vietnamese can sing in Vietnamese, love singing in Vietnamese more than English. Love your utube videos
Did you know TSA regularly steals people's shit.. I was tripping the portable professional cute little Canadian girl who did a whole segment on how to keep your shit safe from TSA I thought she was talking about Columbia or Africa or something.. Just like the heavy metal and punk rock of the 80s the system is failing..
Tyler, it is nice to see you are back in Vietnam like you said home sweet home the people there seem to mussed you, and your Vietnamese got better and better 💖
Wow 😮! You are back to Vietnam 🇻🇳 now, and me going to LA in late July and August for World of Dance Competition at Convention Centre. Nice haircut 💇♂️🥰. Yes, foods are so expensive in America and Canada. Thanks for sharing Tyler. Your Vietnamese is so good 👍. Have a lovely Sunday, my friend 👌🥰
Your points are pretty spot on. I saw your US version of this video and that was spot on too. One point I want to add is can you just DVR sports, so you don't have to stay up?
Welcome back to VN! Missing see your gf so hopefully, we will see Trang soon. Love watching your videos cuz u show me all about my country which I have not gotten a chance to go back.
II went to Vietnam for Vacation 20 years ago, stayed for 2 month, went back to America sold everything within 6 months went back to VN and been here ever since.

Wow, I can’t imagine life here in Vietnam 20 years ago. I have been married twice before In America. My 2nd wife passed away after 19 years of marriage. A few years later I long distance dated a lady in Vietnam for 3 years. Came to visit last year to meet her and her family. Went back to America. A few months later my mom passed away of 92. After taking care of her. So I also sold everything I had. Moved to Vietnam. And married and been here ever since. Love Vietnam. Still have a lot to learn.
Great video Tyler

That’s true we often take that for granted
I agree with you.. more people around, greater positive vibe. Quiet western suburbs are bad
@@chakshaabsolutely! American suburbs are so isolating
The food is great too.
That's how I feel now. I have been on meds for depression and insomnia since I have been living in the states but I have no choice. My son has better education and better future in the states compared to communist Vietnam.
Vietnam is really something else. I’m travelling Southeast Asia right now and i think at the end. Vietnam will be Nr. 1 of all countries for me 😁

When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
I have been travelling South East Asia for 4 months now and Vietnam is hands down my favourite country! 🇻🇳
I'm in Vietnam for 3 months. Been here a month and a half already, but I also lived in Philippines for 4 months and lived in Thailand for 1 year. Trust me, the feeling is the same in Philippines and Thailand too.
Agreed!
South east Asia countries definitely have that warm atmosphere to them. Thailand and Laos are the same too tbh. The life is busy, fruits and food are so diverse and yummy, the people are outgoing
Living and working in America is so depressing. I’m working 7 days a week 10 hr days just to stay ahead of the game. My social life in non existence and nothing is fun anymore. My family barely spends time with me, we only live to work. I don’t see it getting any better for us..
Been there, done that. I was overworked, stressed out, depressed, generally unhappy. I saved up, then quit & moved overseas. Best move of my life.
feel the same way , I work hard 5-6 days a week , family doesnt have time for me and my wife, saving money for a good retirement , but could retire tomorrow in Vietnam .
@@tonybrit2k I’ve been trading crypto lately, I think it’s the way out of the rat race.
Please welcome to 🇻🇳😊
Chào mừng bạn đã trở lại Việt nam.
I am Vietnamese living in California. Just came back to Saigon for a short trip and that had changed my mind of wanting to go back there and live cuz I feel more like home and welcomed. People are friendly and everything is great.
Vietnam is real and the people are genuine and they dont take anything for granted they are kind loving and happy and it shows in all the things they do.
I’m Vietnamese living in the US for about 45 years now. I go back there almost every year for a month or so… What I really like is that it’s so lively every single day, compared to here. I’m glad to see you like it there, because it takes some courage to move to a country you’re not familiar with. I do plan on living in Asia half year, and back to the US the half, when I retire.
Lucky you.
@@tomwinds9729 thank you! but yea i get depress every time i go there, and return to California. hahah. in the US, everyone goes to work 9-5, then straight home after. In Vietnam its like the weekends every day, with hundreds of thousands of people out and about every day.
Asia is just the best.
@@djcalvin408 how do you like the heat? Was there for 2 weeks and it’s just killing me.
@@andytran333 I normally go in December when it's coolest. But yes it is hot during summer.
I now clearly understand why Anthony Bourdain (RIP) loved Vietnam. Vietnam, it grabs me and doesn't let go 😁 I missed its delicious street food, I missed its spectacular scenery. I missed Hoi An. I missed everything. I gonna be back in Vietnam in December, which will be my fifth trip to Vietnam!
I'm Vietnamese, lately I often watch travel videos of foreign traverlers. I realized that even though I'm over 40 years old, I don't understand Vietnam much. Vietnam has a long terrain with many different climates, cultures, mountains, seas, plains... and you need a lot of time to experience it. I will travel again from the beginning. You can check some hashtags: #hagiangloop #catbaisland #sondoongcave
It grabs your heart and does not let go !!
What happened?. Vietnamese people who are afraid of communism find ways to live in the United States and Canada. On the contrary, there are Americans and Canadians who like to return to Vietnam to live with the communists!
@@rundle888 That is Vietnam's internal conflict since the unification of Vietnam on April 30, 1975. France invaded Vietnam in 1858, then they divided Vietnam into 3 regions, to cause division between regions. Vietnam defeated France in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. After that, the Geneva Agreement stipulated that Vietnam would have general elections in the country in 1956, but the US did not want that. The US dropped nearly 8 million tons of bombs on Vietnam, three times the total number of bombs in World War II, each Vietnamese person suffered 0.25 tons of bombs. But America does not have any remedies even though America always claims to be the most democratic and humane nation in the world.
@@rundle888 I want to share the second story, America invaded Iraq but could not find a reason. The country and people of Iraq are more hungry and poorer, their houses are ruined, but the US does nothing. On the contrary, American oil companies have the opportunity to make huge profits. That's why people in Vietnam, Iraq, Palestine... are poor and in conflict with each other, but America and France are very rich, democratic, and civilized.
Love the positive vibes you always give. You've no idea how many foreigners you've inspired to come to Vietnam man. What's more amazing is that your doing this is purely driven by your love for this country, which is even greater than that of many Vietnamese. Thank you so much, and keep it up!
What an awesome comment. Thank you so much
Vietnamese friends, please support the channel. The person who transmitted the image of Vietnam to the world. Thank you!!!
You should write this comment in Vietnamese if you can.
I would rather be the average income earning individual in vietnam than a millionaire in the United States
I live in Bien Hoa, you guys should visit Bien Hoa. It’s only 30 minutes drive from Saigon
Thank you! 😊
@@Elite_Employee people with high income in Vietnam is dying to leave the country for United States. Speaking from experience of Vietnamese living in USA
am back in uk selling up all my stuff to head back over end of this yr with no plans of ever coming back to live in the west again! can't wait to get back!
Don't do that.
welcome to Vietnam🎉
Me too. Sold up. 🎉
@@vava25435why not, you can living in Da Nang, Dalat, Nha Trang are better with max 1000usd/ month
After spending nearly three months in Saigon earlier in the year it made me appreciate certain things more about living here in the U.S. especially living close to my family and having a young daughter. At the end of the day though I have to agree with you that due to the cost of living we really enjoy our time there in Vietnam. It was also really nice to have all the help from my wife’s family with taking care of our daughter. Our lives here in Seattle are just your typical go to work and come home 5 days a week. Enjoy our weekend and then do it all over again. Everything has gotten so expensive we rarely get to do the things we enjoy. It doesn’t really feel like living life to it’s fullest. 🤷🏻♂️
💯 facts
👍💛
Ah the rat race in the USA is insane! Time to have an exit plan.
Facts
Nice! We just moved from Bellingham.
My sons are moving to Vietnam soon and we will follow a year later once they are settled! Can't wait ❤
We are relocating to Vietnam next year too hopefully
I’m so happy for you. Cost of living here in the US is out of control. I’m glad you chose VN as your new home. You’re actually walking around the neighborhood that I grew up in.
Yeah, I know it’s good to choose the US because there’s a lot of benefits there too, but I think a lot of it is ruled by the people who are in control, allowing the people who are other foreigners to buy up land and now that we have less land and the land are much more expensivewe have a lot of people who cannot afford a place to live, and the landlord keeps increasing the rent. It’s just not right and only people who can afford to escape all the ones who can afford to fly back-and-forth to Vietnam and that is not cheap.
@@IVvOOvVI the same situation here in Vietnam
I miss you too. I am glad that VietNam makes you so happy and inspires you. As long as living there gives you joy, then I am happy. I would rather you be happy and fulfilled. I miss you terribly, but your happiness is all that I want. Talking, texting, and video chats help. In a lot of ways we speak more and our conversations are much more meaningful when you are away. Also, anytime I am really needing my Tyler fix, I can just pull up one of your Vlogs. Win for me. Love you. Miss you
Love you and miss you
I was in Da Nang, Hue, and Hoi An in Sep 2022 and had a blast. As you said, the people there are incredibly outwardly friendly, and in the best way. The prices can't be beat.
I live in Da Nang and I am really happy that such a people are coming to Vietnam too. Thank you for the video, you look honest person.
I live in Orange County and enjoy a comfortable life, but Saigon and Vietnam in general feel like my true home. We're planning to return soon and make it our permanent residence. We only have one life, so it's important to live where you're happiest. Thanks for the videos! I first discovered you through Alex on Ninja Teacher. Keep up the great work!
Nhưng một số người Việt ở Quận Cam ( cờ vàng ) không thích bạn nói như vậy. Nếu họ biết bạn yêu Việt Nam họ sẽ nói rằng “ Cút về Việt Nam mà ở”. Thật đau lòng cho các cụ già bên đó.
@@MrBuiquochung I believe you may be reading too much into my statement. I deeply appreciate America, but I also cherish Vietnam-its culture, its people, and the comfortable lifestyle it offers. With many family members in Vietnam, spending time with those I care about most is invaluable and irreplaceable.
I spent a few months and have visited my cousins many times in VN, but I’m so glad for Orange County. Cleaner air and food safety. I like VN but it’s hard to go outside my daily walking and exercising. OC has everything I want except for some of my favorite fruits.
" Vietnam grab you and doesnt let you go . once you love it , you love it forever".
Anthony Bourdain
Totally agree
*_I believe if Anthony had live in Vietnam, he would still be alive_*
I gonna be back in Vietnam in December, which will be my fifth trip to Vietnam! I missed its delicious street food, I missed its spectacular scenery. I now understand why Anthony Bourdain (RIP) said so.
Really bro, I have same feelings with u. Be honest, I gotta work for next 20 years to be able to go back there for the retirement. You make me proud of being a Vietnamese. Thanks for loving my country. Best wishes.
Welcome back! I've been in Saigon for 2 months and go back to So Cal soon. It's funny because I grew up in Anaheim, near Little Saigon in Garden Grove/Westminster, and have lived in Corona for the last 15 years. It was crazy to see your videos in both Riverside and OC. Anyway, I had slight culture shock when I got here mostly because of the motorbikes driving down the sidewalks and sometimes cars even. Crossing the street can be a bit nerve-wracking too. On the flip side, the people are incredibly friendly and you cannot beat the prices for food. Although I'm looking forward to going home for a couple of months to spend time with family and friends, I'm not really counting down the days. Thankfully, I'll be back. Thanks for your videos, they're enjoyable and informative! I started watching them when I was back home and continue to watch your videos while here. Good luck!
Really glad you enjoy the videos and that's really cool that we grew up in similar places. It's always nice to meet people from so cal out here
Đúng như bạn nói, người VN khá kiên nhẫn với người nước ngoài nếu họ không giao tiếp được bằng tiếng bản xứ, cảm ơn video đã chia sẻ.
Vietnam had an energy I couldn't explain, I was there for a month and visited the major cities like HCMC, Hanoi, Hoi An, Da Nang and my favorite place in Vietnam was the Ha Giang loop. The freedom I had traveling on the road (it was with a group motorcycle tour) was unmatched, every new turn we saw a new mountain range and deep canyons with rivers in them. I loved it and loved the home stays with locals, truly a once in a lifetime experience, I can't wait to get back.
Awesome 😎
@@BigTimeBentley Because you are WHITE( not to race), you are welcome everywhere in VN. I am Vietnamese, and I am not treated like you are. LOL. And if you go to the American Embassy, you will see a long line of Vietnamese applying for visas to get out of Vietnam.
Đọc phản hồi của bạn tôi thấy nguồn năng lượng đó vẫn cháy mãi trong bạn. Mong bạn sơm quay lại Việt Nam và đón nhận tiếp nguồn năng lượng đó. Chúc bạn mọi điều tốt đẹp nhất.
Thanks for the vblog. I just returned from Da Nang. That was the most exelerating and incredible experience. Especially Ba Na Hills with so many kilometers cable car ride and going on top of the mountain. Vietnam was my last stop after Malaysia, Thailand and HK and Phillipines. Vietnamese are the most prettiest in SE Asia. On day one I felt at home. I rented a motorcycle and was zipping around town like madman! After the microwave oven Malaysia, feeling the cool breeze on my face Especially while in the bike, I felt I'm in the heaven. At night by Dragon bridge there was million of local and tourists gathering for the fire show. I sat in a restaurant sidewalk and ate the delicious Pho Ga and enjoyed these beautiful people pass by. The day I was at the airport returning to SF I had a lump in my throat. These people are the friendliest crowd in the world. BTW, when shooting video please say where you are in vietnam. Keep up the good work. ❤🎉🙏👍👌
Wow, as a Vietnamese guy, I could never have imagined that anyone'd find Vietnam this special. So the country has shown you its good sides, but hope u won't be too disappointed with the bad ones if you may see them when you come back one day. And maybe u were just unlucky in Malay and Thailand, they are wonderful countries with so many things that Vietnam should learn from.
Damn dude. Much respect that you find your happiness in Vietnam. Your pronunciation is like a real Vietnamese. Phuc Map, the other TH-camr, from Florida now lives in Vietnam and teaching Vietnamese online. Surreal!!
I just discovered your channel and I really like it. I also plan to retire in Vietnam in several years and I find myself thinking about how it would work out. I find it very interesting that the Vietnamese people are so friendly and helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience and your insight into Vietnam from an American perspective. Keep up the good work.
Your Vietnamese sounds so natural, you're very good at speaking the language which makes more sense that you belong to Vietnam. Enjoy your time 💖
You are right, Most Americans laugh and look down at people who speak "spoken English". In Vietnam, we find you cute when you talk in "spoken Vietnamese" and are excited to help you improve your language skills. Welcome to Vietnam 😀
Have you forgotten they sprayed your country with agent orange?
When I moved here 30 years ago from the New York area if you wanted to call home you had to go to the central post office and pay 10 USD for three minutes. They would assign one of the booths to you and a clock started to tick off the remaining time with the line cut at the exact three minute mark. Now internet costs about 10 dollars a month and one could stay on line the entire month!
Man, I'm also living in Vietnam more than 1,5 year, in Nhatrang) I agree with all that you said in the video. Btw, that's so cool, that you can speak Vietnamese) Peace out.
Now, we’re in business. Not that I feel better if you’re not “home” home with your dad and mom, but we found you originally in Vietnam so we’re used to seeing you there. Great that you had a chance to spend quality time in the US with your dad, mom and immediate family. Welcome back to VN, Tyler!
American living in Germany. Spent 3 weeks in Vietnam in April 2023 - the usual tourist itinerary: one week in Ha Noi, one in Da Nang, the third one in HCMC.
Fell in love with the whole country.
The neighborhood you walked through at beginning is exactly where I stayed in HCMC. The Crazy Horse Garden Bar - I think I even took a picture of it. I spent a couple of evenings in Bar Legato nearby and a Japanese izikaya across from the hotel I stayed in.
Want to go back for much, much longer. And I relate to the sports/baseball thing even in Germany.
Is that the neighborhood you live in? If so, good area? I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT.
awesome thanks for the comment. and yeah I live in this area
I was there 3month and i couldnt take the heat, how u loved it i dont know.
I'm with you. I've been going for extended times in Nha Trang. My in-laws are such great people. I wife and daughter are from Nha Trang. I have folks all over the South, but NHA TRANG IS HOME.
Welcome back Tyler. I miss watching your videos while you were gone. I saw a couple of videos where you and your Dad had VN food in little Saigon somewhere, but it is different. I am so glad to see you back in VN and look forward to seeing many more of your videos in VN. 😊
Vietnam definitely has a magic about it. I was there for a couple of weeks last year and have been obsessed with it ever since lol. I cannot wait to go back.
Your feeling, your heart is very important. Just do what you feel good, man.
My wife (VN) and I came to US in 2022… trying to get back to VN in the future… buy some rentals in the city and live in Vung Tau Beach. Good luck man. I sure miss my adoptive home, VN.
Glad you're back and feeling at home again! We may be coming to Vietnam later this year!! It will be my first time.
I know exactly how it feels! I am moving back to Slovakia from California and very gladly I'll leave behind the stressful life in USA. I will miss some of my American friends, though.
Hey I was also in the US last month with my wife (she is from Vietnam). I am just getting over the jet lag now. Welcome back.
Bro got the southern Vietnamese accent, good for you for learning the native language. I was born in VN (during the war) but grew up in the US (SoCal/east coast) for about 5 decades now. Been to VN many times and I loved it!
Congratz on finding the 2nd home. Im sure more good things will come to you
Hi, you made this video where I used to live when I was out there for 3 years. I miss Vietnam so much and want to return. Totally get your other video too about reverse culture. I’ve felt really down since being back in the UK. 😢
I wish I can have that feeling like yours that I miss for 10 years already
I’m an American who lives in Taiwan, and my experiences with acculturation, etc., have been very similar to yours. Like you, I take weekly Mandarin Chinese lessons because I live here, and this is my home now. Interesting video; thanks for posting it!
Please make more videos in Viet Nam, Tyler. I noticed that your Vietnamese is getting better than last year.
I just subscribed! Your Vietnamese is very clear and easy to understand, your pronunciation of the accents are really good. Keep learning, you’ll speak like a local in no time!
thanks so much!
My wife is Vietnamese, and we will be traveling to Vietnam in a few days for 2 months. We did the same thing last year. We always have a great time and are looking forward to getting back to visiting with friends and family around Saigon. The one thing I struggle with is the food. It doesn't seem to sit well with me even though I love it. Any suggestions?
Try some fancy restaurants i guess.
Moved to VN 3 months ago & loving it. I'm not materialistic, so I fit right in, most people don't have much, so I feel so blessed to have come from US, have virtual job earning US $ & spending it cheaply in VN, best of both worlds. Everything is cheap & efficient here, which I love.
Welcome back, regarding football or soccer. Vietnamese is a big fan as well if you have family members or friends they will have some foods and beer to watch games with you. Or any local coffee will open for late football games which is super fun if you enjoy it.
yeah soccer is fairly easy to watch here because the time zones aren't so different but American football is tougher
I know cost of living is a big factor but Vietnam goes beyond that. Loved being there. Something about it makes you feel at home.
Hey, I'm back in Vietnam on June 6th. I hope we can meet up at some point. Good to see you back in Vietnam. I miss it a lot.
You show so much respect and appreciation for Vietnam, its culture and language. Thank you from a Viet Kieu returning soon to Vietnam.
You speak Vietnamese so well, good Vietnamese “phonetic “ accent too( which is the most challenging in learning Vietnamese)
I've been back at my house in Maryland for a month now, and I already miss VN. Will be coming back in November......
Wow! Over 10K subs! Great job Tyler! Congrats! So happy to see you doing Viet videos again.
Been enjoying watching tourist to Vietnam. I'm so glad I found you. Will recommend to my friends. Keep up the good videos. I left Vietnam in 1979
Welcome back man. At the airport, have just left Saigon after a visit over a long weekend and wish I could have stayed longer. Back to Beijing, for now.
I admire you for your ability to speak Vietnamese , I assume that your partner is a local, but it's still it's a bug deal. I'm an Mexican-American, i was married 24 years to a Vietnamese woman, and I didn't learn more then 3 words. I salute you from Pennsylvania.
cheers from Vietnam to Pennsylvania! and thanks for the comment
Polar opposite countries. Vietnam is much more fun and affordable. People are much more friendly and there is so much more energy from always being surrounded by people. Downside, lots of pollution (air, noise, etc). America you get fresh air and comfort (driving a car, more space, no language barriers). 9 months in VN and 3 summer months in America each year is the way to go
There will come a day when you can no longer stomach the 16-hour long flight. At that time you have to pick just one of the two locations to settle down.
@@alfaromeo6985 that’s very true. I think I’d rather spend my whole year in the US because you may not be able to have better healthcare in Vietnam and for people who like cooler climate the US is better for them. There’s always a language barrier.
@@alfaromeo6985I've been doing it for 10 years. It's tough but it's peace of mind too. Essentially the expats who do it the best are the ones that cut off everything back in their home country. You kind of have to let go of everything if you're going to spend a few straight years in VN and only travel extremely sporadically back to your home country. And that's tough to do
I am originally from VN and it is still too hot for me 9 out of 12 months. But you are wrong about health care, you can pay out of pocket at private practice in VN and it is much better and still better than paying with insurance in US. A dental implant with insurance cost $500 with good insurance in US vs $250 at a private practice ($50 at pubic hospital but let’s go with the most expensive one why not). A vagina delivery for my first kid cost 3k with insurance in US. Our second kid delivered in Vinmec for 2k (the hospital is better than a typical Marriot in New York. The only thing that US healthcare is better is new therapy like Alzheimer, PPD, weight loss (but you won’t need this drug when you live in VN 😅). But they still be available in Asia in a couple of years. Oh and all of those cost advantage didn’t even account for insurance premium (which I pay 5k/year for family and my employer pays 25k/year - fuck me if I lose my job). It is a real no brainer to ditch US for anywhere else in the world when you retire, which is the scenario when one can’t no longer make 16hrs flight. I personally will choose Europe since VN is too hot.
@@andyma1400 where is Europe what about the language barrier in Europe? Have you figure out the cost of insurance in Europe yet? How do you figure that they will allow you to retire there? Do you need a special visa or something?
it's nice to see someone look so at peace. good for you!
Man, you're well-known in Vietnam! Good to see you back
I agree with you 100%. I left the US 8 years ago and never looked back. I never worried about bills over here.
Thank you for your time and posting. What I like, is no graffiti. I really don't have any family, don't watch sports, and don't drink coffee. Okay, I do watch pickleball. :) I lived in Australia for 6 years, and Germany for 3 years (military). I retired with a smaller fixed income with SS, but because of some VA claims, I can now travel and not worry about money. :) So I'll be in VN in October. If I like it, I'll come back, sell my car and computer and return. Thanks again.

Thanks! 😃
I used to work in Việt Nam . I knew the some guys were from America . I asked them why you guys don’t go back to America, they said they couldn’t do anything there ( mean jobless…) but in Viet Nam, they live like the king
They live like kings teaching english. Teaching english is a dead end career. Maybe expats become middle aged, disgruntled ESL teachers. They hate live in Vietnam but can't leave because they have nothing back home.
Looking for in going vietnam soon again . Been 3 times in just over a year.Would love too meet your gf and you there when I come back . I know some Vietnamese can sing in Vietnamese, love singing in Vietnamese more than English. Love your utube videos
Your tieng viet is very good, I wish that I was on the same level
I gave u a thumbs up! I was wondering when you’d be back in Vietnam. I live in southern California so I saw your riverside video.
great video... you have good technique with the camera... very stable and not swinging it around. Vietnam is a bucket list destination.
thank you so much!
America is the most unsafe place to live right now. This man speaks Vietnamese very clear. 👍
Maybe some part of America, but America is a large places.

Your points are pretty spot on. I saw your US version of this video and that was spot on too. One point I want to add is can you just DVR sports, so you don't have to stay up?
