  • In this video, I traveled to the Mekong Delta and took a trip through the Cai Rang Floating Market and tried to make some rice hammock with some true masters.

      Judah Sebastian - (Love your name). Yes. Hope something is underway to clean up the Mekong River though - the lifeblood of the region. Makes you wonder just how healthy the seafood actually is. Eighty percent of large fish faces extinction there. I guess pollution & overfishing affects it. Go now if you can. The population is growing.

    My parents were born and raised in Vietnam for about 20 years, and moved to the Philippines, then to Washington, and then to Nevada where we still live now. They were very poor, and would tell me stories of life in Vietnam. Coming from your point of view and your perspective of the culture was refreshing since I can relate (I eat Vietnamese food though, and I speak the language) Vietnam is truly beautiful, and you’ve shown me everything from a non-native point of view. Thanks bruthah.

    I love how you capture the bustle of life in this video. The people, their faces and the areas they live in. This particular one hit home because I went back to Vietnam a year ago and it was my first time in 27 years and I too went on a boat ride to these floating markets. I relished every moment of it. I was 2 when I left my home country. It was very emotional for me going back to a place I should've known about but clearly didn't.
    I'm glad someone who is not native, like you, can truly enjoy what it means to visit a different country and get really into the roots of what makes it tick.
    Thank you for this Mike, this is why I subscribed to you. Cheers friend.
    Also, your boat captain kinda resembles my uncle and he loves to sing too. xP

  • @khanhvynguyen7858
    @khanhvynguyen7858 Před 4 lety +19

    The intro music is my favorite. It is called Beo dat may troi, which in English literally means "drifting water hyacinth, floating clouds". The song is a traditional Vietnamese song played by the unique instrument of Vietnamese culture: 'dan bau'. I mean, I highly appreciate that he illustrated every aspect of Vietnamese culture interestingly and exactly in this video, namely: our music, cuisine, lifestyle and costume. Thank you very much Mike!

    • @FullNelson007

    • @huyentrangpham7752
      @huyentrangpham7752 Před 2 lety

They are really little works of art. And, the lady making the crowns and the animals from the leaves is also amazing. Thank you so much for sharing all of that, and so much more with us. Hopefully, I will be able to experience it first hand, some day. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see your next video!

    I don't eat meat but absolutely love all your videos! But this one is by far, one of my favourites. Love the serene boat ride. The aerial views... The beautiful capture of the beautiful people. The food is like a bonus and the spice of your vid. Super awesome!

      Vegans are definitely welcome to the Mekong delta. Fish, shrimp, and all types of seafood are very common in the area. Vegan foods can be commonly found in numerous restaurants. You’ll love our vegan foods because they are even tastier than meat dishes.

      If you go stay in a monastery they make some amazing vegetarian food. They do incredible things with tofu. Vietnam has lots of good vegetarian food (I tend not to eat meat travelling to avoid getting sick as unless you know a local it’s hard to know where/what to eat).

    I watched this your clip long ago, but now I'm still watching this because I'm missing my homeland so much(from US)... Wish I can come back soon to travel and eat a lot of Vietnamese foods! Thank you.
    Btw, music of background is so beautiful bro!

    Your videos make us viewers feel like they are right there with you experiencing the beautiful scenery! Makes me miss my home country very much (in a good way haha). Hope we all will get to experience Vietnam like you did one day. Your channel was actually what inspired me to start my own YT channel, hoping that I can spread a little piece of Vietnamese culture in the U.S. Thanks for all your hard work!❤️

      @Ileikpotatoe Před 6 lety +3

      Blah N Nothing condescending about the truth and comparison of the US and Vietnam. Regardless no matter how I phrase my comment so you won't get butt hurt, you can't change the fact that nearly everyone in America is privileged, give or take.

      Nathan Nguyen very true; am Viet, and while the culture is beautiful, and all of the greens and herbs give me such joy... it’s horrible when you see a little boy without legs scooting around on a wooden board with wheels begging for money. The people either ignored him, or they whispered to their children that that’s what happens if you stray too far from your parents; that you’ll be captured and your legs will be chopped off, then be forced to beg for your life..

    Thank you so much for this video - I love that you captured the raw beauty of Vietnam that tourists fails to see and neglect . I was born and raised in Vietnam and after 13 years of growing up in America, I’ve sadly lost my roots with my native land. I’ve become so accustomed to the luxury of industrialized America that I failed to remember the natural beauty of Vietnam. Thank you so much for reminding me of the beautiful, hardworking country I was orginally raised in.
