When I think of #Vietnam, I think of "Water" everything from the rains, to the floods, the water puppets, to flexible "watery" nature of the people. Also, the Water you need to make the best coffee I've ever had in my life. Can't give enough thanks to all the Vietnamese geograpeeps that helped with this one especially those I met and are featured in the video!

I have been waiting for this since I was in primary school, I am an adult now

[TheStarSerpent]

Fun fact: Related to the "watery" feel of Vietnam, the Vietnamese word for country is "nước", which literally means water

[LeonSKennedy]

I had a random thought: make a mini-series called “Geography Then!” where you do these overviews of countries or regions that don’t exist today. Could be a fun way to dip toes into historical content and expand the audience… and see how the past melds into the present.

I’m from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I disagree with the point that Thailand 🇹🇭 people are friendlier than Vietnamese 🇻🇳 People . In my opinion, in general (not all, ) Thai people are friendlier towards Caucasian people of darker complexions like me. When I first traveled to VN 🇻🇳 I found that people were genuinely nice and friendly. A few sellers I spoke to were happy to know that I am from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, apparently, people from India have a bad reputation for bargaining down to the last cent (Doesn’t help me when I look like I am from India) I found that it was much easier making Vietnamese 🇻🇳 friends Than Thai friends. I never got some warm feeling in Thailand 🇹🇭. So that is one of the reasons I became a fan of Vietnam 🇻🇳 and I keep returning. This is just my personal view.

No big mistakes now other than:

1. Vietnam isn’t the only Southeast Asian country that didn’t have it’s own script. Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and East Timor didn’t have an own writing system as well. In fact their are a couple minorities in Vietnam that have their own script, most notably the Cham with their Cham script

2 Vietnamese is an Austroasiatic language and not Austronesian

3 Football is the most popular sport in Vietnam and not badminton

I’m in Vietnam right now for a one-month long vacation. Your timing of uploading this video is perfect for me! Now I get to know Vietnam more while I’m in it! Even though I’m Vietnamese, I was born and still reside in the US.

I have been waiting for this episode since 2017. Vietnam is like my second home - I have visited it 4 times so far. I am really obsessed with Vietnam's food, coffee and culture. I want to spend more time in the north during my next visit. Can't wait to go back!

[JackyVSO]

The war museum in Saigon is the only museum that has ever made me cry. Good thing the amazing coffee immediately brought back my good spirits!

[binh]

I love how you highlight Vietnam's Hoang Sa and Truong Sa islands. Respect ❤

[Sonnen_Licht]

Small correction: The Vietnamese language belongs in the Austroasiatic language family, not Austronesian.

[mrmakovec]

Ahoy Vietnam! Love from Czechia! 🇨🇿❤️🇻🇳

Fun fact, my dad was drafted in the US Army to fight in Vietnam. He hurt his back during basic training and was medically discharged. He met my mom a month later during rehab. If he never hurt himself, he would never of met my mom and I wouldn’t be here. 😊

In Moscow there is a shopping mall and hotel called Hanoi-Moscow that i used to go often for Vietnamese food and froots. Vietnamese food is very popular in Russia. And one of my core memories is Vietnamese balm called Golden star, it was very popular then.

Had the amazing chance to visit Vietnam in January 2023. Having been to 28 countries so far, Vietnam probably takes the cake for me. The people are so genuine and the culture is so fascinating. As a Finn it’s really easy to relate to the hardships experienced by the brave people of Vietnam over the course of their history, but it only makes it so much sweeter to see them thriving today.
Definetly have to return someday!
Thank you for the episode Barbs!

[datthaigia]

It's 21h45 in VN, I just back from work and now enjoy your video. Thank you for advertise my country to the world.

[manhlexuan]

In the sports segment, you forgot 'football', or 'soccer', it is a big deal in Vietnam too :v like we can suffer traffic jams because people go out with thousands of thousands of motorbikes to celebrate a Vietnamese football national team's big win

[coolbrotherf]

There's is a pretty large Vietnamese community where I live in North Alabama. There's a lot of Vietnamese restaurants and I had multiple roommates in college from Southern Vietnam who lived with their extended families nearby the college when the dorms were closed. I hadn't tried Vietnamese food before college, but now it's definitely one of my favorites. I would eat Pho every meal if I could.

Vietnam is a wonderful country with great people 🇷🇺❤🇻🇳
