  • ■ HANOI, VIETNAM: As I was making a street tea video in the centre of Hanoi I stumbled upon an old temptation of mine which made me reminisce about India: a street barber. Not just that, this barber was female! Something I've never seen this before as this is a heavily male dominated profession.
    The only problem was I don't want to cut my hair and I also didn't even have a 2 day beard to shave! The only thing the barber could go to work on would be my treasured precious goatee!!!!
    So what was a straight white male to do? 🤔
    Dilemmas dilemmas.....

    That card lady is a sweetheart. She told the barber that $5 bucks was way too expensive and to lower the price. She was scolding him for you Harald. You are lucky to have that Street Seller Angel to help you like that. What a nice lady to translate for you. Thank you for correcting your mistake in currency conversion. You are a good man Harald. I would be buying her cards when I go back to Hanoi. Roxxi approves!

      ramanjit gill I see your point, it could be confusing as you didn't really understand the Vietnamese people's culture as well as how welcoming we are to foreigners. Yes, sellers sometimes can be take advantage of tourists by increasing the price but that's the problem which many countries are living with, not only in Vietnam. But in Vietnam, I promise if you be able to visit our lovely country or at least take time to do some research about us, you would realize there's no other place in this planet that have super friendly and hospitable people like us! I hope next time before making any assumption, you could pause your thoughts and look for the right answer by listening to both sides.

      Gutmad Plez you think you can live forever by relying on welfare system? Ah, such a stupid. National budget of countries even developed ones can be doomed at any time-almost all governments pay more than earned and they must borrow money from internal and foreign sources with promise of paying before expiry date-kept by their own image. So, welfare for most situations once you still have ability to work is just a tool to help you pass period of unemployment; you can’t stay there forever and do nothing. Hope you don’t have Down symptoms.

      She is working for herself, and her sister. That would make her an entrepreneur, and or business owner. Harald helps whomever he deems needs help, a cleaning lady, a shopkeeper, a barber. Though he does seems to enjoy helping entrepreneurs starting a business by giving them a head start. Think about what you said, "just a seller" who would we buy goods from with no sellers or clerks? Your statement came off as derogatory toward the millions of people who are clerks, or in sales.

    At 5:35 when Harald was asking for the cost of the shave, the old man originally asked for $5 US (over 100K VN dong). The card lady actually warned the barber that he should not overcharge Harald and proposed a shave for 50K VN dong. She was trying to lower the cost, contrary to Harald's sub-title "but I suspect she's trying to get him to charge more". A very kind gesture! At 11:56, as the barber was applying shaving cream to Harald's chin, he asked if Harald is married, and if Harald wants to marry the card lady. She said Harald is only 37, younger than she is. The barber retorted: westerners don't really care about age, if the two are compatible, they'd just get married even if there are 1 or 2 kids already in the picture. Wonder what Harald would think if he understood what they were talking about.

    Harold. You are one of the rare types with a conciousness and awareness of what is right and wrong. I am the same way. If I had gone through that I would also go back. In fact I could not not go back. Sadly most people don't care. And they miss out on the joy of giving. One time a gal in a grocery store gave me change as if I had paid with a 50 dollar bill when I had used a twenty. She actually gave me more in change than what I used to make the purchase. Unfortunately I did not discover the error until I was home so I had to drive all the way back. My friend said why go back? You just got free money. I said no I didn't, I got money that doesn't belong to me and her register will show the shortage and it will be out of her pocket. When I returned to the store the gal was no longer at the register so I tracked down the store manager to explain what had happened. It took a couple of times but when she finally got it she got so excited and started yelling to her coworkers, This guy is returning money blah blah... I said please stop I am just doing what anyone would do. Not to mention I like being able to sleep well. lol

I am Vietnamese but never got a chance to explore my country. following your interesting navigation does give my day a glow. I was almost in tears when you came back to give the old barber more money, buying more cards from sweet lady. I do love her. I think you are the only one ever giving him that much money. I’ve seen many videos from foreigners exploring VN but yours are the best. Keep up the good work Phuc Harald.

I too was happy as Harald, after realising his mistake with the exchange rate, did the right thing by going back. It was just a brief moment in time that all three will remember for a quite a while with an inner smile of contentment and as such, the judgements of the viewers in the comments are both insignificant and irrelevant. It is what it is and that's a good memory to cherish for the three of them.

Her facial expression was very upset at the old man for trying to charge Harold $5 US dollars. Harold tipped the old man on both occasions. Old man should of gave half of his tip to the woman. If you're reading this Harold please go back and do a part 2 video ( a day in the life of card lady ) what she has to go through to make a few bucks. I bet you the old man makes more money than her.

      I mean 99% of places he goes he gets the screw the white guy tourist upcharge so I dont blame him for being jaded. Have you watched his videos? Very few people are as sincere as that lady was. Very few.

    I'm generally impressed with the Vietnamese people, they seem very genuine and honest. I think it would be a pleasure to travel there like Harald did. Hopefully one day I can!
