    Some of the highest highs and lowest lows in this video. Drove on some truly horrendous roads, crashed a Vietnamese wedding, nearly got human trafficked in a dank hotel room in Hanoi, and missed my flight to Japan. What the f-ck. This is one of my favorite videos I've ever made and I'm fortunate to have you guys join me for the adventure. Love you guys. See you soon

      How come? Sex trafficking is a real thing and it happens a lot, aswell as prostitution and exploitation, moreover in places like Vietnam or Thailand where the tourism sometimes involves such things.
      Don't get me wrong I loved the video, and I also think of it as a crazy experience, however, I think most people would believe everything that happened. Couldn't it be?

    A tip: don't walk into a random hotel lobby or spa looking building called a "nhà nghỉ", it's most likely a brothel. Instead, find a bigger more official looking building called a "khách sạn", which is usually an actual hotel. The men in the video were prostitutes, and it was an uncomfortable situation but it's not their fault that this guy walked into the wrong place.

      I imagine it’s something along the lines of wanting to experience travel the way that it was experienced before google translate, which I can understand. I still choose to fall back on google translate though. It’s so stressful not knowing what anything means in a foreign place. Especially in a bustling city. I actually give him some props for roughing it out the way that he does. I’m sure it adds to the excitement and adventure of it all, as dangerous as it may be. It’s his life and damn if he doesn’t seem to be enjoying it.

We never got lucky enough to randomly crash a wedding, but I met some of the most welcoming and friendly people on this route. We had some random person paid for our lunch without us knowing when he left. We were so confused when we tried to pay and the owner wouldn't accept the money. Neither us nor the owner speak each other's language, but Google Translate came to the rescue. Incredibly kind people, and the scenery was beautiful.

    So sorry that you ended your trip in Vietnam with such bad luck but having watched many of your videos, you have had so much good luck that it was bound to even out a bit. Thanks for sharing your trip!

    If, “I’m not gay, but 20 $ is 20 $.” Was a video 😂😂😂😂🥴 I’m glad you got tf up outta there. The genuine shock and confusion you had was on point 😂😂😂😂 literally if lost for words was an actual facial expression, you most certainly had it 😂😂😂😂

    Just found the channel like a couple days ago and I subscribed today. He’s so down to earth, blunt, and really involves himself in the culture and isn’t afraid to go through sketchy but fun experiences. He reminds me of myself😂

    Man I’m not even 5 minutes into this video, I’ve only watched 3 of your videos and just Subbed. You have an awesome vibe man, I truly hope your channel blows up! Please stay humble though when it does, your entire energy is exactly what CZcams needs more of!

    What I like about this channel is your personality. You give us your honest opinion regardless if it’s not polite. You keep it real and that’s good. I’m glad I found this channel.

      Yea, I'm surprised he was as offended as he was. Pretty flattering imo, not like they were trying to force him or anything.

      @misscanada9703 Před 2 měsíci +1

      And yeah, he was totally offended and acted like he was a school kid!
