4:47 - it's a turbine vent: passive ventilation system. A turbine vent spins with the slightest breeze. As soon as it starts to spin, it vacuums air out of your building. The faster it spins, the more air it exhausts.

Always glad to see a fellow Vietnamese American do well while promoting the home country in the process. Congrats on the success.

These are some beautiful areas in Ho Chi Minh City. The locals of Ho Chi Minh City are so nice and welcoming. The Cold Brew drink looks really good to drink.

I'm a Vietnamese/Canadian chef and I've always been interested in the origins of how certain dishes came about, which is why I really enjoyed this video you've shared with us so thank you. Love your contents. Keep up the great work! Also will you possibly be doing food tours in the near future?

We call it a "roof turbine" - a type of attic exhaust vent. They help remove any built-up heat and moisture inside the attic.

Xem video này nhớ nhà quá, nhớ Sài Gòn những ngày nắng mưa lang thang khắp phố😢. Chỉ có đi xa mới hiểu nhớ quê hương là gì

I took a grab and got lost in a random district on purpose. I walked around and ended up trying tons of street food! Had the snails ever in a random alley lol! I miss Saigon and will be back end of this year!

You're such a wonderful host... great places to see, nice history lessons and you of course are the perfect tour guide.

Cám ơn chị đã yêu mến đất Sài thành này. Cám ơn chị đã quảng bá đất nước mình cho bạn bè quốc tế 😊❤

You seem especially happy this episode. Glad to see you in your element. Nice episode. This is what makes Vietnam so cool. The fact a random apartment room can be a shop lol. I love that because you get such cool views overlooking a street, alley, or city.

Watching from rural Hokkaido, Japan, admiring the fantastic decor in each of these places and drooling over the delectable looking dishes. Love Vietnamese cuisine so much.

Van, you set a new standard for yourself with this video! I am glad you put that disclaimer at the beginning about no pho and no banhmi! I like the interviews with the locals and the provided subtitle translations. A lot of young viet kieus and foreigners will appreciate it. I like the hidden locations that most of us outside Saigon don't know about. The videography with different perspectives and the soundtracks. The color grading is warm, colorful, and professionally consistent!

I'm going back to Vietnam this December and I will check these locations out (if they still exist).

As a Saigonese I can say for sure that no locals spend 150k vnd for breakfast, let alone eating hu tieu de kho (first time hearing about this)

[Langkinhsaigon-SaigonHoloscope]

Gud to see ya back, Van! The rolling circle thing on the rooftop is air flow - "cầu lọc gió" which is quite popular in South Vietnam, particularly for factory or big houses!

[shanecox]

Outstanding work! You are a true natural for the camera. Looking forward to the next one 💥

[semzip]

This is incredibly well produced and shot. What a fantastic glimpse in sgn life.

[nic.trades]

this made me miss Vietnam so much... what a place.

[dennissantos]

Thank you for your work in introducing your culture ❤🇻🇳

That spinning thing is a ventilation to release hot air and so, cooling down your room.

I need to go Vietnam again, it's so cool!

[GordonBrevity]

You're so obviously such a lovely person, Van. Best wishes from London.
