    Today we pick up at Ba Be Lake in Northern Vietnam where I was left stranded with a broken down motorbike and an empty stomach.
    However thanks to a kind local family I was not only given plenty of help, but I was shown an incredible amount of generosity and hospitality.
    Then we hit the road and of course that's when things turn sour once more... welcome to driving in Vietnam!

    Hi Paddy. It won't be the last time that you're invited to share a meal with a family. I had a flat tire in the middle of the country not far from Phong Nha and after I'd paid the old guy the small amount he wanted for the repair and given him a modest tip his daughter invited me to have lunch with all the family. Not for money, just for the expeience. I think they are the most hospitable people on the planet.

    Was working for an Australian company in 2000 in China... they sent me to a project in Hanoi in 2003 ... never left... (the land of smiles ) Vietnamese have a wonderful work / play balance like Australians... ! beautiful people, beautiful country... 70 years old now and no desire to go back to Australia.. bought an apartment in Danang.. they can scatter my ashes on Son Tra Mountain

    • @doodahgurlie
      @doodahgurlie 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Flora and Note!! You guys HAVE to come back and do the same northern Vietnam trip because I KNOW your drone game is super duper strong based upon the Ninh Binh videos!! Please do come back and go to Da Lat and Sa Pa...the Ha Giang Loop and NW Vietnam (heck, all of northern Vietnam and do the multi-day cave tours, too!). And if you're uber brave, do Dinosaur Spine, which is what I'm hoping Paddy will do. Check out Tigit's channel (they rent motorbikes in Vietnam) as they've got some interesting videos there.

    Having been to Vietnam two times, I can agree that Vietnam has a special charm. Topogrophy , food, the people, the culture etc etc are all amazing. And, to travel on any motorcycle there is FANTASTIC! I always felt safe on one of the rented 125 cc scooters and the roads are light in car traffic. Get around on a MC. Nothing like it.
    Paddy-- should you carry a liter of spare gas? I find it is a very advisable and at times I have needed it.

  • @colette-tj2gk
    @colette-tj2gk 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I find when facing lots of mishaps while travelling it's really easy to run out of emotional energy and start to feel down but meeting such kind and genuine people makes everything worth it. Love those moments of mutual curiosity. And the northern Vietnamese landscape is absolutely stunning!

    I am in tears. What a slice of heaven to fall into Paddy. Surrounded by angels.That song is perfect "Wherever You're Going"! You have no idea how much I needed this tranquility and peaceful sweet moment today my friend. You are right, everything happens for a reason, even across thousands of miles sometimes. Oh yeah and nice dance moves. What a day!

    I'm Damien from Delhi, and have been working in China since 2006. So glad you made it to Vietnam, I've been following you for the last 3 years (since you started the channel). Best of luck and I hope you change your bothTyres and tubes. Getting stuck in the middle of the country with a flat tyre and no kit to repair it, isn’t fun! I know from experience. I love Thailand and have been to the coastal areas and islands many times since 2007. Vietnam, I haven't been to and though I've seen many videos on it I'm dying to watch how you fare on your trip to the north and again to the South. I'd be honoured to meet you some day when things are better. Best wishes and a safe journey. Cheerio!

    Hi Paddy, stay strong and ride safely, Vietnam has a lot for you to discover. Thank you for staying positive despite all the struggles on the road :D
    for anyone interested, the lake is "Hồ Ba Bể" and the province you arrived is "Bắc Kạn" in Vietnamese.
    That beautiful waterfall is our famous Ban Gioc waterfall , or "Thác Bản Giốc"

    Best video yet! This one definitely tugged on the heart strings. Reminded me how much I love and miss Vietnam. The people are so lovely, and really make an effort to go out of their way to help, especially out in the Rural areas. Can't wait to come back to Southeast Asia later this year. 🥰

    Wow ! It's surprising because you have come to Bac Kan province - my hometown, one of the poorest provinces in the country. That lake is called Ba Be lake, about 30km from my house. Ba Be Lake has a very sacred, fanciful and beautiful formation by the peaceful landscape, together with Puong cave, Tien (fairy) pond, some historical temples... The temple where you burned incense is called An Ma Temple. I hope you will have fun with the Tay ethnic people selling goods around the lake, along with the specialties of Ba Be lake. In 1995, Ba Be Lake has been recognized by UNESCO as one of the 20 most beautiful natural freshwater lakes in the world. Most of the ethnic minorities here are the Tay - the second largest ethnic group in the country, after the Kinh, and I am also the Tay... I hope you had a special trip. on our country. Vietnam always welcomes you all. Love you so much 😘🥰❤️❤️❤️🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

    This was such a beautiful episode, Paddy. Not just the stunning nature, but also the kindness of people. Showing the ability to enjoy company despite the language barrier. That is one theme in common that you have with the current Budgeteers series...you are all giving us hope in humanity by showing kindness some people have towards strangers.

    Beautiful country I've taken a trail south to Hanoi.. very. Stunning scenery ... Jungle.. but I wonder how could the criminal USA government wage a destructive brutal war in such a beautiful place and how could they think it was a good idea? Imagine trying to find someone in that jungle? No wonder they had to spray chemicals to destroy the jungle..

Please continue to do your best to "stretch it out", don't rush, or think your story is slow or boring. I'm really moved by your style and editing. I think you could easily go up ro 30 minute episodes. I know you have the material! Do keep up the good work. You know, that inn is going to be famous now....
    It will become Northern Vietnam's "The Beach".....
    I think you need some "Rain-X" for that visor and a can of "Flat Fix"....

    An Ma Temple
    Legend has it that An Ma temple is located on An Ma island in the middle of Ba Be lake, which is the place to worship the Mac dynasties during the feudal war of Le Mac dynasty. According to many local elders, in the past, after losing the battle, they ran to Puong cave and died there. Later, to commemorate the gods that the people here built the temple of the Mac family.
    But out of fear of revenge by Le dynasty mandarins, they gradually changed their names to the temples of Ma or An Ma. According to the Tay language, An Ma or An Ma means “a beautiful and peaceful grave”, with the real meaning of being the resting place of the Mac gods of the Mac family. Currently, this place is open free of charge for visitors to visit.

I love that it is not just you but you and the Vietnamese people together interacting, even if it was by chance. The views from the guest house and while you were on that boat were breathtaking. Remember issues are not problems, they are challenges. Look what this challenge created for your content. Loved it and $22.00 US for the pleasure. Re the flat tyres, there must be a voodoo doll out there somewhere with a stack of pins. Hopefully the replacement solves that problem or you have every right to be pissed off.

    Absolutely one of the best vlogs/travelogues I’ve seen on the ‘Tube’. You get better and better at documenting your experiences. Well done at showcasing the beauty of Vietnam and its people.
    Also, keep the old tyres on and have more breakdowns 😂😂

    Vietnamese people are amazing. Every time I visit I end up feeling homesick for Vietnam after I return to my actual home in Australia, if that makes sense.

    Brother Paddy! U really warmed up my heart with this video :) I was in Hanoi, Ca't Ba' and Hai Phong 11 years ago this Nov. Magical Asia is. Bought my one way from Sea-Tac to HCMC for Jan. 2023. I am SOOO excited it's almost torture having to wait six more months. Making as much $ as I can so I hopefully never have to live in the U.S. again....fingers crossed. And yes will be teaching English somewhere in VN. Your videos are very magical.....of course the stunning scenery helps too! Cheers....~See u in the waves~

  • @avis8306
    @avis8306 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Paddy, next time, make your Vietnamese iced coffee with provided ice cubes. Hot filtered coffee should be dripping on melting ice cubes and dilute the sweetness you were complaining about.

    Oh I love this part! Such mishaps were one of the best parts in our Thailand moto trips too. Flat tires, broken belt, etc.. And kind Thai people for sure!
    Enjoy your road with you!

    My favorite video so far. The epic breathtaking views of northern Vietnam are just out of this world! I can never get enough of how beautiful it is there and you did it justice with your new drone. That family at the guest house with the views of the lake...wow! BTW, ice your Viet coffee to dilute it and then drink it. :)

    Man I know it’s probably gunna be shown more in the next episode but the owner of that Pedro’s Pizza is from Lausanne🇨🇭 and married a local. I saw it a couple days ago on another TH-cam channel lol. I watched too much Vietnam TH-cam I guess 😂😂

    Sometimes unplanned events provide the best experiences and that certainly looked the case at the lake. What an amazing family at the guesthouse, they gave you such a great welcome. Can't wait for the next video as the views of the area and the waterfall look amazing. Great video Paddy 👍

    Paddy,
    You have come a long way from your humble beginnings. You’re video content and quality have risen tremendously while you are still you, keeping it real. I have lived in Phuket for 4 years and have been traveling all of Southeast Asia for 10 years doing exactly what you are doing…exploring new horizons, meeting local cultures and people and experiencing new foods. I have taken a lot of photos, videos and drone footage and your videos bring me back home. I am back in California and expect to work 4 more years before retiring in Thailand.
    Keep up,the awesome work. I definitely jealous of your journey as I would love to be there as well bouncing around from town to town on a motorbike.
