It made me cry though I was not Adoptee as I have seen so many orphans in SAIGON when I was living there in my teens...Wars had taken away their fathers, mothers, brothers sisters etc and some parts of their limbs as well; I decided to leave VN in the 70s as the sad scene had bothered me so much...could not study where surrounded with so many sad and unfortunate stuffs
There are not many 20+minute videos on CZcams I watch the whole thing. usually I skip large portions. This one I savored every second of it. Hanna is so well-spoken, beautiful and gracious. Thank you Van for sharing. This is content I would not mind paying to watch.
This is so cool because I came across this video not knowing that the doctor that Hanna met was my grandma. 12:05 in the video by the way! I'm also adopted in Ba Vi and I'm so glad that I was born and raise in Vietnam where I am able to communicate and know more about my culture. Unfortunately I was at the orphanage since birth and was adopted when I was 8 month old. I'm 15 right now :) and I am always curious about my birth family. I don't know how I should find them if I don't have any info about them though :(
I just found your channel. I love listening to you. I’m from Dallas Fort Worth. This area was a major relocation and resettlement of Vietnamese fleeing the war. Lots of markets, businesses and restaurants all over DFW. I grew up eating pho, and I am 45 now. I love dishes that have bun and com. My girlfriend and I love eating Vietnamese because of the veggies and the herbs that adorn the dishes. My dad is a Vietnam vet, I think he was out of Da Nang, but I cannot remember. My late Grandfather was a Vietnam vet, he spent a lot of time all through out the country. I remember him talking about how beautiful it was. I think the war touched most of us up through current day some how, even if just having a meal at a Vietnamese restaurant here in America as thise people who own these places came here as a result of the war. I’ve always had a facination with Hue and the perfume river. Oh, and HA LONG BAY as well. Someday I hope to come see Vietnam. I have been to Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. On business mostly, but I used to go to Indonesia for business and family as my ex wife is Indonesian. I’ve been to Batam and Java. While I was in Batam, the Indonesian coworkers took me to a refugee camp on an adjacent island. It was so sad. I wish people would remember history and not repeat it, but sadly that doesn’t happen.
This is a great story and I am sure will become one of your most popular videos Miss Van. While the history is sad... the story is indeed great because of how positive this sweet young lady is. Hanoi is truly a fascinating city too and Miss Hanna seems to have really found her own way and realize the good side of things. While still rather hard to enter Vietnam it is fairly easy to leave and so the fact that Miss Hanna remains is because of her own desire. As mentioned before to you I am an American married to a Vietnamese I married in NYC in 1977 but who has been living in Vietnam nearly all of the past 30+ years together with my wife. And even during the lockdowns we feel ok with things and feel safe. I am retired now but when I was working... I was a risk management consultant. Having been involved in that line of work I developed a sixth sense about risk and for better or for worse I see potential risk immediately. Please... ride the motorbikes with long pants and long sleeves and with a proper helmet. I hope you both (MIss Van and Miss Hanna) stay in Vietnam to share your American experiences with people here and to share the joy that both of you exude. :-)
I would like to add: Never ride alone in big Cities in VN ; need to have a friend sitting behind to observe and seriously considering the surrounds and nearby bike Riders as there had been many situation where your hand/wrists could be chopped off as they saw you wearing gold Bracelets etc.. Your friend sitting behind could give you a second pairs of eyes...alerting you things going to turn bad /sour...LDB AUSTRALIA
If you meet good things today, be joyful. If you encounter bad things today, you must be determined to fix it. Tomorrow will be good or bad..no one can guess! Better days are on the way!
Hanna's story is so inspiring, glad she was able to reconnect with her culture, and identity:) The continuing journey only gets better, I promise you:) speaking from personal experience. Most people who have not been adopted, don't understand the personal drive to find your cultural identity. Glad to see Hanna, has lots of support on her personal journey. Beautiful story:)
Hanna. you might not have western facial features, but you speak so fluently, beautifully and charismatically. Your figurative references such as "rainbows and sunshine" are so easy to grasp, understand and visualize. The Vietnamese students learning English from you don't know how lucky they are. I am a vietnamese immigrant who moved to the US with my family when I was just 6 years old. I can relate to your story.
Hanoi is also my birthplace, and Chicago was the first city I visited in 1971. It must be exciting and rewarding for Hanna to return to her birthplace and reconnect with her Vietnamese relatives.
Hanna is a remarkable young inspiring woman , see the young pics of her and her birth mother even got myself a little emotional. She is a ray of sunshine and confident about her future , Hanoi is a beautiful part of the world and the ppl are amazing and so friendly. The orphanages are a big part of Vietnam and Hanna is prof just how important they are , so I encourage people to always find an orphanage or a mama to support that are needing it. God Bless You Van and Hanna
SO HAPPY AND SO PROUD OF HER !!! SHE IS LUCKY TO HAVE 2 FAMILIES AND 4 PARENT and many sibling and 2 extended families. Both of HER families CAN BE SO PROUD OF HER. CAM ON for giving hope to other wonderful Viet's and all their families !!!
So short-sighted for the Vietnamese to not understand that Vietnamese Americans have unique perspectives and insights that would be immensely help their students navigate the English language better than other teachers.
Very true, but not unique to Vietnam, as I think Asian American/Australian/Canadian folks face the same unwarranted prejudice as English teachers in Korea and China too.
Thank you so much for creating this channel ❤️ For those of us apart of the Vietnamese diaspora, it can be challenging to understand what life looks like in Vietnam today. Especially since our limited exposure of Vietnam comes from our parents', aunts', and uncles' memories. This can be challenging since they haven't been to back to Vietnam after escaping. Vietnam has changed since my family has left and I'm glad there are content creators like you to show those of us apart of the Vietnamese diaspora, the beauty of our motherland. I was born and raised in the US. Most of my family are in the US, Canada, and Australia. Many of my cousins were born in the US, Canada, and Australia so our understanding of being Viet is only that of being Vietnamese-American, Vietnamese-Canadian, and Vietnamese-Australian. I'm glad Hanna was able to share her story and reconnect with her roots. ❤️
Hannah is incredible. She such a beautiful, strong, intelligent, and independent person. This was a great video. I hope she appears in more videos. I am sure her family and friends in the Chicagoland area miss her very much.
This is an excellent video about your awesome friend. She speaks English very fast but the miracle is that I can understand everything even if I use to speak French where I live.
very inspiring. I definitely relate with her when she mentioned how back home (in the U.S.) she knew her way around easily and her focus was solely career wise and how to hit another milestone in life, which can be extremely exhausting for anyone. I'm glad that she's where she wants to be and having fun doing what she can while digging deeper in her roots. you go girl!
Van, I really loved your interviewing with Hanna, while zipping all over Hanoi made it interesting. Like I said before, this pandemic has put a damper on my life, but Vietnam is still on my “bucket list” in life. I started my adult life in the Vietnam War for 6 years, I hope I can spend some time in the country that formed my entire life. Keep your videos coming. Aloha from Hawaii!
It’s indeed a tragedy for a young child to be separated from her birth family. It’s not easy to find and united with the family again in consideration of the distance geographically and psychologically, and the cultural differences as well. Hanna must have a poignant moment when she saw the persons and stuffs in her connection before she was five. A touching story ! Wish Hanna all the best in her new life ahead in the country which she should have been brought up 21 years ago. 🙏
We have a Vietnamese girl on the local news. Her name is Chinh Doan in Tulsa and I believe she was adopted. It would be interesting if you could talk to her and get her story too.
Love this content, she seems so nice, friendly and sweet. It was lovely to hear her story and it makes me feel happy and proud that she has been enjoying life in Hà Nội. All the best to Hanna and keep up the good work on this channel !
Two Vietnamese conversing in English with each other. Truly global citizens Van Vu & Ha-nna. I recommend Hanna to share her story in Facebook and especially in LinkedIn for proper placement in teaching career. Best wishes
What a beautiful wonderful young woman. I want to adopt a Vietnamese woman around 55 years old or younger. LOL Vietnam appears to be a more beautiful version of Thailand, which I have 13 months of experience living in. I can't imagine Hanna going back to Chicago. Great video, thanks.
I am very impressed with this video. The history that HANNAH brings to light and your Q and A aspect was/is very useful for your followers. I was planning to teach ESL in Vietnam ,but covid prevented my return from Canada. I have been following your vids. for sometime,however this one was outstanding and most informative for me personally. Thank you both
Hanna, your story is very inspiring, and congratulations for uniting with your family! I was from Hanoi as well and was adopted to the U.S 26 years ago! I do hope to return to Hoabinh, Lacson in a few years to do volunteer works and teach English as a way to give back while I am off from teaching in the summer. Congrats, again, Hanna, and I wish you the very best!
Great unique content to your channel and awesome to hear of Hanna's journey. You should totally impart some of your CZcams expertise and help Hannah setup her own since she looks so natural on camera like yourself.
Such a beautiful! I love how you stepped out of your comfort zone to go back & discover your ROOTS. It takes strength to do that. I'm actually moving back to VN soon so I'm super thrilled about it. It's been a long journey for me not going back after 30 years, but once I was there within 2 months, I felt like I was finally home. Thanks Van for capturing this story. Thanks for sharing, Hanna~!
This girl seems to be a better youtuber than any other foreigner and Viet here in Vietnam and overall a great speaker..where did she get this kind of "experience" , does she have a channel ? She got a bright future as streamer
It was an incredible story of lifetime, like what I've seen in some soap opera or we call it here in the 🇵🇭 TELESERYE... Im sure now all the puzzles and questions in her mind are settled... I think she's OK now coz' I can see that she has a great sense of direction and independence... "LOVELY"... 🏀✝️🇵🇭👍❤️🌹🌹🌹💋
Watching the clip from Dallas where it’s in the winter and longing for a bowl of 🍜 but could settle for bún chả Hà Nội. Beautiful story from Hanna and wish her all the best for her new life in VN.
Thanks for doing this. It hits closer to hm myself. My cousin is adopted but he was given to my family by the neighbors and I grew up with him, knowing how euro Asian he looked. He was the more handsome one because he looked different and all the elders favoured him. They knew he was adopted but us kid did not. It was not until we were in our 30s that we found out the truth. Non of us went back to Vietnam till we were in our 30s. Like Hanna, he was able to reconnect with his folks n family. The thing with adoption sometimes is to protect the child's interest or maybe the adopted parents would afraid to lose their adopted child thus why they be holding out vital information. I was raised in my cousin's household and lived my life like he was my brother n I even called his mom, my aunt as mom. She was hiding me from my mom side of the family in fear of losing me to the in-law. I only once was able to reconnect with my mom side in Denver Colorado just once in my life. We lost touch once again. Hanna needs her own CZcams. She is Wonderful in her presentation especially when she goes "let's go". Between van n her, she won hands down in the English department. I lived most of my life in the states and even myself can not flow like the way she flows. I too left VN when I was 3 n only 2 years of learning viet? I'm impressed. I too did not get a chance to see my mom as I lost her when I was born in 76. I was fortunate to be adopted by my aunt, my dad's sister. Overall, this video episode speaks volume to myself. One advice to Hanna though. Don't get a bf for it may ruin things lol
I ain't even gonna go past the first seconds before liking this video. I am a sucker for these kind of videos of adoptees going back to their birth-homes. :')
Inspiring and very well done video. You did a great job directing! I’ll share this with a co-worker who flew to Hanoi to pick up a 7 year old girl many years ago. This adoptee, now happily married and a mother of 2 boys, wished to know more about her root. Thank you again for this wonderful video!!!
Wow this is very different content but regardless I love it. It provides a very unique perspective into the life of an individual that is reconnecting with their culture and restructuring one's identity. (Also, i learned a new vietnamese food dish so that's something I wanna try now as a foodie lol)
What a great story. That young lady is switched on has not let adversity get in her way. Good luck to her and her future. Great idea for a feature story. Hope to see more similar
I really like this new content from you. Keep it up. I’ll be going on a similar journey as hers next year. My partner and I will leave our corporate careers to explore Vietnam and re-discover the culture.
This is a wonderful video and thank you for putting it together human interest stories around the world showing that good people can come together to maximize life’s great adventure
Thankyou for a great video , both you girls share a great beauty and of culture I hope Hannah finds her place which I know she will as she strives to learn bless you both
As a Vietnamese adoptee this makes me so happy
It made me cry though I was not Adoptee as I have seen so many orphans in SAIGON when I was living there in my teens...Wars had taken away their fathers, mothers, brothers sisters etc and some parts of their limbs as well; I decided to leave VN in the 70s as the sad scene had bothered me so much...could not study where surrounded with so many sad and unfortunate stuffs
This was really inspirational. Hannah is a very impressive young lady. I hope you invite her back to catch up in the future.
She is amazing! And yes I will, thank you for watching :))
You are just a troll u creep
Hanna is so good with those scene transitions. She's very good in front of the camera, I hope you collaborate with her again.
This video was great. Even though I was born in Vietnam and raised in Canada, I want to reconnect more with my culture and birthplace.
There are not many 20+minute videos on CZcams I watch the whole thing. usually I skip large portions. This one I savored every second of it. Hanna is so well-spoken, beautiful and gracious. Thank you Van for sharing. This is content I would not mind paying to watch.

So lovely and self assured - living her best life. What a beautiful story of curiosity, courage, commitment and connection 👏
Hanna is so intelligent girl. Very well spoken and very inspiration, ery positive attitude. 😘
Hanna is a remarkable young inspiring woman , see the young pics of her and her birth mother even got myself a little emotional.
She is a ray of sunshine and confident about her future ,
Hanoi is a beautiful part of the world and the ppl are amazing and so friendly.

SO HAPPY AND SO PROUD OF HER !!! SHE IS LUCKY TO HAVE 2 FAMILIES AND 4 PARENT and many sibling and 2 extended families. Both of HER families CAN BE SO PROUD OF HER.
CAM ON for giving hope to other wonderful Viet's and all their families !!!
Person, who have 23 plants in her living room, can't be bad person. Good luck to her and cảm ơn rất nhiều to you for such an inspirational video!
What a lovely emotional story. So nice to see a beautiful Vietnamese woman who is not afraid to get a sun tan 🥰. Thanks Van.
So short-sighted for the Vietnamese to not understand that Vietnamese Americans have unique perspectives and insights that would be immensely help their students navigate the English language better than other teachers.
They suffer the disease Mr Fanon described in his book "The Wretched of the Earth"
Bệnh của dân thuộc địa. Xưa Tàu, rồi Tây, giờ Anh Mỹ.
So true Ted! Well stated as I couldn't put that in better words.
Very true, but not unique to Vietnam, as I think Asian American/Australian/Canadian folks face the same unwarranted prejudice as English teachers in Korea and China too.

She’s very confident when talking 😊and I believe a country like Vietnam will change anybody.

OMG, she looks exactly like her mom. Both are so beautiful and lovely. I am an adoptee too, So happy for her and thanks for this wonderful clip.
Nice touch ... Hanna was adapting quickly to a new life.... I hope she make it ...
Wow happy she was able to find family. You do a lot with Facebook there. Food look so good.
It’s indeed a tragedy for a young child to be separated from her birth family. It’s not easy to find and united with the family again in consideration of the distance geographically and psychologically, and the cultural differences as well. Hanna must have a poignant moment when she saw the persons and stuffs in her connection before she was five. A touching story !
Wish Hanna all the best in her new life ahead in the country which she should have been brought up 21 years ago. 🙏
" Cuoc doi la HU VO bon ba tren xu nguoi (?) khi minh con doi tay ??? Hu Huh huh

Hope See looking your nicely

Vietnamese adopted..
Love this content, she seems so nice, friendly and sweet. It was lovely to hear her story and it makes me feel happy and proud that she has been enjoying life in Hà Nội. All the best to Hanna and keep up the good work on this channel !
Hanna's happy food dance is something I've seen lots of American women do.
Great video and she was so fortunate to find her viet family again!
Wow I love her. What a story. Got me crying. She is so inspiring and strong! What a beautiful girl inside and out. Also so natural on camera.
Two Vietnamese conversing in English with each other. Truly global citizens Van Vu & Ha-nna. I recommend Hanna to share her story in Facebook and especially in LinkedIn for proper placement in teaching career. Best wishes

Great unique content to your channel and awesome to hear of Hanna's journey. You should totally impart some of your CZcams expertise and help Hannah setup her own since she looks so natural on camera like yourself.
Thank you, she is amazing!
I agree. Hanna is a natural in front of the camera and could have so much to offer other ex-pats in the Hanoi community!
Such a beautiful! I love how you stepped out of your comfort zone to go back & discover your ROOTS. It takes strength to do that. I'm actually moving back to VN soon so I'm super thrilled about it. It's been a long journey for me not going back after 30 years, but once I was there within 2 months, I felt like I was finally home. Thanks Van for capturing this story. Thanks for sharing, Hanna~!

I thank you again.You a very attractive young lady.
This video was so nice! I loved! You both together is beautiful to see! If it will be possible you should make more videos with Hanna!
It was an incredible story of lifetime, like what I've seen in some soap opera or we call it here in the 🇵🇭 TELESERYE... Im sure now all the puzzles and questions in her mind are settled... I think she's OK now coz' I can see that she has a great sense of direction and independence... "LOVELY"... 🏀✝️🇵🇭👍❤️🌹🌹🌹💋
Watching the clip from Dallas where it’s in the winter and longing for a bowl of 🍜 but could settle for bún chả Hà Nội. Beautiful story from Hanna and wish her all the best for her new life in VN.
Good episode ! What strength Hanna exhibits ... and at such a young age ... Thanks for sharing.
I love your videos! I've been "binge watching" your videos today after discovering your channel. I'm now a subscriber from Canada.
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great video, a great watch with my three Grand daughters , they adore you .
That is awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your story, Hanna. And thanks Cô Vân for making the video
She seems like a lovely friend you have. Her roots are in her heart, she’s very nice. 👍🏻
I'm crying watching the story of this gorgeous lady missing her mum and meeting her uncle
có cái "Pum gun" của Vân ở đầu clip kìa !!!. Bạn Hannah mà dạy tiếng anh là okie luôn !!! Vân cũng vậy , dạy tiếng Anh là okie luôn ^^!
Thanks for doing this. It hits closer to hm myself. My cousin is adopted but he was given to my family by the neighbors and I grew up with him, knowing how euro Asian he looked. He was the more handsome one because he looked different and all the elders favoured him. They knew he was adopted but us kid did not. It was not until we were in our 30s that we found out the truth. Non of us went back to Vietnam till we were in our 30s. Like Hanna, he was able to reconnect with his folks n family.

She was hiding me from my mom side of the family in fear of losing me to the in-law. I only once was able to reconnect with my mom side in Denver Colorado just once in my life. We lost touch once again.
Hanna needs her own CZcams. She is Wonderful in her presentation especially when she goes "let's go". Between van n her, she won hands down in the English department. I lived most of my life in the states and even myself can not flow like the way she flows. I too left VN when I was 3 n only 2 years of learning viet? I'm impressed. I too did not get a chance to see my mom as I lost her when I was born in 76. I was fortunate to be adopted by my aunt, my dad's sister.
Overall, this video episode speaks volume to myself.
One advice to Hanna though. Don't get a bf for it may ruin things lol
Glad that Hanna is putting her armor on!! Best wishes to her!
Your room is so creative decoration ideas.
I am so happy Hannah is rediscovering her roots and ancestral family.
I ain't even gonna go past the first seconds before liking this video. I am a sucker for these kind of videos of adoptees going back to their birth-homes. :')
another awesome video, glad to have something interesting to watch tonight!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Van. Thank you for sharing Hanna's story. She is a amazing artist.
She is so inspiring and she never stop learning and give up on herself
What a beautiful and wholesome video Van. I’m so glad Ha managed to find her family!
Inspiring and very well done video. You did a great job directing!
I’ll share this with a co-worker who flew to Hanoi to pick up a 7 year old girl many years ago. This adoptee, now happily married and a mother of 2 boys, wished to know more about her root. Thank you again for this wonderful video!!!
Where does it say that? Hanna has an IG and nowhere on there does she say or show any children or being married
That was an amazing video my friend. You really kicked it up to another level, it felt like a piece of really good journalism. Continued success!✌️♥️
Hanna's story is very inspiring. Great to see her being strong and living an independent life.
Happy for Hanna!
Hannah is such a charming individual ... I love her for who she is ... beautiful and up-spirit ....
All the Best Hanna!!!! Best wishes from Australian Viet!!! This video was very inspiring. Thanku
Wow this is very different content but regardless I love it. It provides a very unique perspective into the life of an individual that is reconnecting with their culture and restructuring one's identity. (Also, i learned a new vietnamese food dish so that's something I wanna try now as a foodie lol)

What a great story. That young lady is switched on has not let adversity get in her way. Good luck to her and her future. Great idea for a feature story. Hope to see more similar
She was indeed very lucky spending just 5 months in the Orphanage; no Serious DAMAGE on her Psyche/mind
What a great video! Love that you’re using your platform for other stories too
That was some good content. Keep up the good work Van.
Vietnam is great place. I am never leaving Asia…
But it’s sad she couldn’t meet her mother because she died before Hannah could meet her.
Her story is very inspiring! ❤❤❤
love this vid. she's so adorable
Thank you for that inspiring visit. She seems to be happy to be back to Vietnam. Great story.
Her english is so natural same as you Van. Yo r awesome!
70$ for a bike!! Wow that's so cheap 😀
Loved it!!! Beautiful Story ❤️
I really like this new content from you. Keep it up.
I’ll be going on a similar journey as hers next year. My partner and I will leave our corporate careers to explore Vietnam and re-discover the culture.
Absolutely inspiring. goodness beyond words.
Love and Happiness for all,
cheers
I'd love to have Hannah back in your future videos.
I want a Super Cub! Thank you for showing the every day life of this young woman in Hanoi. I want to live in Vietnam even more now!!!
Oh My God! ❤️ When i saw The Church , I almost cried !
I think if you are not actually sick there is no reasons to wear a mask ! Lovely Video ,Van ! 👏
Both of you women should be proud in what you have become. Continue the good work in your daily lives..:)
VanVu is gradually creating more excellent content so far!!! I love your video day by day. All the best ❤️
Her English is really nice🤩
surprising for a native speaker huh :))
Such a strong Lady.
That was a wonderful video! Thanks for posting it.
Two very beautiful english speaking ladies. This is a great video!
You are both charming young ladies! Thank you for sharing!
Very touching...😢. Love her story!
Very interesting videos only 2nd video I have watched of your but will be following them from now..
This is a wonderful video and thank you for putting it together human interest stories around the world showing that good people can come together to maximize life’s great adventure
She didn’t mention her family in the US. Looks like they did a great job raising her and gave her a life she would never have in Vietnam.
That's what I was going to say.
I hope she starts a youtube channel too she is so natural on camera
Thankyou for a great video , both you girls share a great beauty and of culture I hope Hannah finds her place which I know she will as she strives to learn bless you both
