    The music choice, the atmosphere, the colour grading, and his voice?! Damn it's so pretty.
    By the way, if anyone wanna go to Vietnam, keep this in mind: there are only 2 seasons: hot and hotter.

      During my last trip to Vietnam we went to Hanoi in April and I was actually cold! I was shocked bc I assumed it would be similar to the south in terms of weather lol. I had to go out and buy a jacket which isn’t something I ever thought I’d need to do in Vietnam.

    This makes me so homesick, I grew up in Saigon and those pink fruits were in our backward (I loved eating them with salt!) Also the boats are so nostalgic to me I lived near a river bed and used to think the boats with the eyes painted on the front were scary haha 😅 how I miss the motherland 💖💖💖💖

    Visited Vietnam last November 2023 with my family. It was wonderful to see your grandparents home in the countryside. Mornings when you can open the doors and windows are the best. As a child traveling to the Caribbean for visits with my grandparents was so similar - mornings with typical food for breakfast and the buzz of family moving around. Memories which will last you your lifetime!
    Thank you for sharing your Vietnam and family in this vlog.

In July and August I rarely venture outside before sunrise and after sunset. Even with repellent, it only takes SECONDS for them to find me? 🦟 You hair also gets wavier in the humidity just like mine. Loved that bathroom in the eco-cabin. That was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your cousins wedding with us. and explaining the rituals. ❤
