    Tyler we also left Saigon in February this year, 4hr layover in Manila. 30minutes before our flight leaves for California they call my name report to gate 18 for luggage inspection. All for some knee medication. Almost missed my flight. I each time back thru security. I’m done with Manila next trip I schedule to Hong Kong then to Saigon. Been watching and telling people to watch you. I have learned so much from your videos. My wife is Vietnamese and we will probably be back the end of this year or at least before new years celebrations start 2025. I have a knee replacement in September then I’ll head back to good street food. Thanks again hope to meet you some day.

      fly her to mexico and have her enter the united states through the united states/mexico border. right now the boder is wide open anybody can come in without restriction. she will have so much easier opportunity to enter the united states that way than waiting for her visa to be approved. once she's in the united states she can stay in the united states as long as she wants and nothing will happen to her.

    Thanks for the real life video of the brutally long flight from Vietnam to LAX. You really gave me that anxiety feeling of flying to and from Vietnam. It is a real cattle cart feeling. Business class didn't look all that much better than Premium Economy, but costs thousand$ more. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see your culture shock video of life back in LA.
