@@Silence-and-Violence if you were at the market though, you would refer to the noodle as pho, the lady won't bring you a bowl of pho but she'd had you the noodles. Or am I wrong lol?
well on western eyes Pho mean noodle , thats not actually wrong , but if you try to say noodle in VietNam , they will not give you Pho like you expected
@@Mobocracy2000 sorta. Yeah the noodles in pho soup can be called pho. But "pho" is not a literal name for "noodles". "Pho" would be equivalent to something like the word "spaghetti" or "linguini" in Italian. Is "sphagetti" or "linguini" or "penne" or "rigatoni" a "noodle"? Yes. Do the words literally mean the literal word "noodle"? No. They are specific kinds of noodles, and the same thing is true of pho. The full term is "banh pho", but most people would just say "pho" even if only referring to the dried noodles. So yes, you are correct that if you went to the market and specifically went to the dried or fresh noodle area and asked for just "pho", they'd give you noodles. But they would specifically give you "pho" noodles. They would only ever think of one kind of specific noodle, not the entire noodle "aisle" at the our grocery store, if you will. It is not equivalent to "noodle" or "pasta" and actually the word "banh" that goes before it is usually associated with baked goods like bread and cakes. But, especially as a tourist but even just a normal Viet, if you asked some rando Viet in the morning where to get "pho", they would assume you mean the soup and tell you wear to get the finished soup, not where the market is unless you were more specific. There are many different kinds of noodles that have different names, just like Italian noodles or "pasta". Pho noodles aren't even the most common kinds of noodles in Viet Nam. For me from South Viet Nam, I eat "Bun" noodles more than anything else I think, and they are like thin, round spaghetti shaped but still white rice noodle like pho. "Mi" noodles are also common and are yellow egg noodles. But there are many more. So, maybe I'm being pedantic or semantic but "anh pho" means "eat pho", not "eat noodles". Just like "mangiare spaghetti" means something like "eat spaghetti", not a generic "eat noodles". I think "bun" is a better word for generic "noodle" but a real Vietnamese can correct me. I am only from a Vietnamese refugee family who escaped to the West. I do not even speak my own family's language fluently.
To be honest, to my surprise, they don't have hard feelings. Most of them think that the past is the past, and what matters is the present and the future. Pretty inspiring...
Alot of them dont even have hate towards the Americans who fought. Numerous incidents of U.S Soldiers meeting up with VC after the war and just having a nice chill and friendly conversation who just bonded over there hardships.

That language sounds so cute! 😂
I love how this guy is speaking to people that aren't his language it's a good feeling also 😂 look at man's smile that's the best bro
Vietnamese people are the best people ❤
Dude I wish I could’ve been there and translated for you!! I’m gonna be in Vietnam in October
A soldier is a soldier, no matter what side, thas respect
Oh! Okay! Lmao the sudden realization 😅
dude smiling at that white guy like "remember when I threw you people out of my country? I do😂"
Stupid lol Kurt is south African not American 😂😂
He's from south africa...
He’s from SA… let me guess, you’re an obnoxious American? 😂
Hes not even american lmfao
bro flexing his ignorance
She lives in a blessed world
Best part of this whole clip is the fact Kurts in a fully realistic G I costume
His DEEP, warm smile he's so proud I love it ❤😂
That entire video was so funny.
kurt never stop being the kind man you are.
"Nice to meet you sir, we love wars in america too" 😂
That was actually a lovely conversation between you and the man 😂
Man went straight into depression “she doesn’t know what Coca Cola is?”😅😅😅
Well,
1) her eye sight might not be the best.
2) Pepsi dominates the cola space in Vietnam.
3) Coca Cola is just “Coca” in Vietnam and pronounced more like the c in school combined with a rounded o sound, both with a level tone.
She needs to keep doing the podcast your mom is a great host. You get the older person commentary and the younger. Different prospective. 💚💚💚💚
"I have no knowledge of any of this, this is so bizarre" in person 😂
You shoulda told him you weren’t American m8, dude probably hated you 🤣
Has a captain america pillow in the back
Didn’t have to say anything haha
You know there were Vietnamese on the American side too? Lol they weren’t all enemies.
They don't. Guys still get sent over there and are treated like rock stars. No hard feelings at all.
@@Glupshitto88$5 sucky sucky rockstar status? 👀
I have watched a bunch of people roaming Vietnam..they might be the nicest humans on earth.
That smile when he shook his hand loved that
The question of whether he fought for the North or the South would have required more courage!😂
I see Kurt met a talking tree
The guy was like “ who t’f is this “ smiling 🤣
That head scratch when he realised she dont know was pure shock lol
Should’ve took me with you. American born but fluent viet with lots of family still in the countryside of VN. Amazing and humble place to visit
I’ll take you with me. Got your passport?
you’re beautiful.
@@ThePWNDR Bro's down bad.
@@fredbrad2036 yessir need me an Asian
Thank you for smoking Americans handshake
🇻🇳🤝🇦🇫🤝🇵🇸
@@tanvirfuad7943Brown and poor club.
We shouldn’t have been there man.
Kurt was stressing out 😂😂😂
I wanted to try moon cake in Vietnam. I must of said the words "moon cake" about 15 times whilst the vendor didnt have a clue what i meant. Until finally, he said "arh, cake moon!" It was hilarious 😂
dude if you are not in a lost amazon rain forest every single soul will know what is coca cola including uncivilized african tribes who still haunt animal with spears :D
Uncivilized? Have some respect for other humans mate. Just because they don't live there lives how you do dosnt make them lesser beings. They know things you don't and you know things they don't, doesn't make either one of you not civil beings.
@@smokoguapp4824sorry if i said something wrong but english is not my primary language. I meant there are some primitive tribes who doesnt have any technology and connections with the rest of the world so they are primitive arent they? born there is not their fault so i dont blame them but i cant say these tribes are developed as much as rest of the world
@@furkant3264 heard of the isolated tribe by the coast of India? They're unique
@@smokoguapp4824 that’s the correct word to use
@@smokoguapp4824 He probably means specifically the tribes in the amazon. Forgot the name but, they basically have nearly little outside contact and also still war and headhunt a lot but still know coca cola very well lol. Saw it in a documentary or something somewhere.
Unless he is saying indigenous peoples are uncivilised, then that's just absolutely unacceptable.
True defender of his homeland God bless him with longer life. He understood you were appreciating a real hero.
He was like yep I’m a real badass
You can tell even though Kurt’s not American hes like yeah I fucked up you grand daddy in the forest. Im the boss
Bro was in the Viet Cong😂
He should be proud he sent the americans running
@@DanBolton-my9bxProud to fight for commies?
@@thevannmann Some commies more happy with their governments then you.
@@thevannmannProud to fight for his country lol
which side 💀
The only man Captain America is scared of
In his mind that guy was thinking "SCOREBOARD ! SCOREBOARD!!"
For the north or south side though?
It appears he likes capitalism by the way his family owns this buisness.
Probably north considering he has all his war stuff hanging up
He's definitely from the North, very North even.
I'm from the South and I didn't understand the first time. They have a very thick accent so i assume the north.
Vietnam series awesome they're such a cool people with rich history always admired them
kurt is just the best inspiring people to travel
It’s funny when kurt puts his hand over his head and get confused 😂😂😂😂
Kurt promoting coca-cola while the rest of the world is boycotting it. No shame
Coca Cola PR team has been real quiet since this video dropped
He is a Captain Vietnam in end game 😂🤣
Oh she knew what coka when she made the sniffy coka hand gesture.Gramma slangin the yayo behind the counter
She thought you wanted the other coca lol
He MUST have been somebody important 😂😂
That veteran was smiling so awkwardly. He probably assumed that Kurt was an American...
The moment he said "cocaaaa", she understood
She knew what you were talking about the 1st time 😂
Love the captain america shield behind him 😂
