Great vlog. I started off in Hanoi, then trained it to Sapa and Hue and finished up in Ho Chi Minh. Hanoi was beautiful but as me and my friend are slightly curvy we got stared at a lot. The women were really rude looking at us up and down which put us off but I loved Sapa for the trekking and the locals were super friendly. Hue and Ho Chi Minh were stunning! I would love to visit Hoi An one day. The scooters freaked me out lol. My friend had to lead the way every time

There is something you have to be careful about with regard to the food, and it has nothing to do with the food itself:

If a place called [I'm making this up] Joe's Pizza gets lots of good reviews in Google or other apps, there are unscrupulous people who open their own restaurant with THE SAME NAME in a nearby location, as a means of stealing away those people who are looking for the original restaurant.

That makes it hard to know if the Joe's Pizza you find is the one you read about or a copycat.
