    Thank you for making this. I lived in Chile and its the same. I know how much you love your country and how reluctannt people are to talk about these things so I really really thank you

    That was pretty good, with one exception: in the last scene where the woman is protecting her necklace, she waves her arm in the air; the arm where she is wearing a wristwatch. When I was stationed in Da Nang in U.S. Army, every day someone riding through town in a jeep would have their wristwatch torn from their arm. I think when people are careful, they will discover that Vietnam is a wonderful country, with mostly honest people. Thank you!

      @danwong5331 Před 6 lety +1

      Theodore Narvaez it happen every where but small country it us extreme just careful all the time that what ithink and people like to show off all value I would suggest don’t do it in Vietnamese and Paris than it is ok just hide all. Ash and wallet and all stuff cost you cash that all ihave to says

    • @elderinmoi1571
      @elderinmoi1571 Před 5 lety

      Theodore Narvaez ok. But to advise people not to go outside with anything that looks like it is worth something is not common for any city in any country. At least not in my country although times are changing here as well. But that has other sad reasons ....

    I was constantly reminded and scolded to put my phone in the pocket so many times by Vietnamese when I took photos on the streets, or when I ate a bowl of pho and placed the phone on the table. Even though luckily I never been robbed, it does show it's a very serious thing in Vietnam.

    @PikabooxxD Před 7 lety

    What most people don't realize is that most people who got their stuff snatched got a chance to get it back. But, they're afraid the thief might have a knife and of being harm. They're slow to react or they just have bad luck because the thief is quick and disappear within 5 seconds. Stay safe fella and have fun while in Vietnam. I live here and I haven't got anything stolen YET.
