I started traveling to Vietnam in 2017 and I’ve been to Hanoi three times. I’ll actually be back in Vietnam next week. I’ll be in Saigon for three days then I’m going to Da Nang and hang around the beach enjoy Hanoi …drink a lot of egg coffee and eat a lot of Bun Cha and Try Bun Rieu crab soup it very good
Just FYI guys, where you went was the Hanoi old quarter where high rises are not allowed, which is why the area looks a bit provincial and backwards. Hanoi is actually the most developed city in Vietnam with many skyscrapers, malls and modern roads, but these are located in other newer districts. These areas are of course of little interest to tourists so no one really goes there, hence why most Vlogs of Hanoi are shot in the old quarter giving the impression of Hanoi being quite under-developed, which is actually not the case at all.
Thank you for watching and for the information. We actually got out on bikes and explored outside the old quarter. It was interesting to see the more modern side. I do love the old quarter of Hanoi. I hope it never changes. It so beautiful and unique! Hanoi has a special place in our heart for sure!
Hà Nội đẹp và hấp dẫn khách quốc tế chính là các khu phố cổ nhìn cũ kỹ ấy đấy. Các khu vực hiện đại nhiều nhà cao tầng khách quốc tế họ chẳng quan tâm, họ phát triển hơn chúng ta nhiều. Cái họ cần khám phá là phong tục tập quán, văn hóa tín ngưỡng, kiến trúc cổ xưa...
We love to see people enjoying Vietnam. We're based here now, so it's great seeing other vloggers' impressions. We totally enjoyed Hanoi and a bit cooler too than HCMC.
Hey! We follow your channel! You girls are awesome. Vietnam is amazing! Such a surprise. We can't wait to come back and see more of the country. How is it to live in HCMC?
@@livingthejolife Thanks for the reply :) HCMC is very hot right now, but it's an exciting city to live in - and Vietnam is a great place to base yourself, very affordable. Oh and btw, it was Steph who asked about your beautiful abayas on insta as we're off to Saudi in October! We're really excited about that!
@@girlsontheloose1 That's great that you enjoy living there. We are use to the heat...you haven't experienced heat until you experience Saudi heat 😂 October will still be hot and very humid 😬 Hope the link I sent to the abaya store was helpful. Hope you enjoy your travels in Saudi. You will be blown away by the hospitality!
A wonderful family. Welcome to my hometown. The first time I knew Ella was only 15 years old. Unexpectedly, she looks like a 19 year old Maiden. This is probably my favorite travel channel because of her beauty. So glad you're here, Danish family. I also hope to have a chance to visit your Country 🇻🇳❤️🇩🇰
I come from Northeast Vietnam and live in Hanoi. I accidentally saw this video and I'm so happy that you guys love this city. Hopefully in the near future you will visit Vietnam😇
Fun fact, vietnams usage of egg in coffee came from a milk shortage during the French war. So they end up using eggs as substitute! Also loving the video , you guys are so cute and wholesome!
We may take honking as a form of annoyance but in Vietnam it's a way of alerting people ahead so that they know you're behind them, helping to prevent accidents.
How do they know who is honking to who when 20 people are honking at each other all at once 🤣 Anyway, the system seems to work. That is what is fun about traveling see how countries do things differently.
A pro tip… Hoan Kiem lake is so much fun… it’s school holidays here so more than normal crowds of local families like to get out at night. Having said that Friday evenings are the worst time also Saturday & Sundays the whole precinct is closed by fences and it becomes a walking street(Zone) so you be in the thick of the hustle and bustle normal!😆😆 As a local we know the places to go and not go. Train Street was closed because of the very nature it’s dangerous and tourists have been injured badly! Govt decided to close it off thank goodness! Many tubers have posted videos, but there are way more train 🚂 places to see for eg Long Biên Bridge!! Much safer and better outlook for those great shots . Enjoy our City it’s done me well for 4 years so far 😉🙏🏻
Thank you for the tip! Very useful information. We do LOVE the hustle and bustle! So fun to see everyone out have fun with their families. Hanoi is such a vibrant and unique city. Loved our trip so much!
It has been 2 years since I left Hanoi to move to HCM city. At heart, I seemingly prefer to live at Hanoi because a bunch of reasons. When it comes to culture, from my perspective, Hanoi is somewhere the mixture of both ancient costumes and cutting-edge lives still exists. I am struggling to find peace in HCM city which I can easily seek out in the northern Vietnam! In conclusion, busy and bustling lives are prevalent among HCM city.
In our culture when a love one pass away, we burn money, paper cars & homes etc, to ensure they live a nice after life. Enjoy Vietnam! I go back there almost every year.
Thank you for such a lovely tour of Hanoi! You 3 are amazing people, and your beautiful daughter is so so good at commentating. She'd make a great travel journalist or have a career in a customer relations role. You've made my day and i'm looking forward to traveling to VN next year!
The money notes are the offerings to the ancestors in the afterlife when they're burned. We also burn some crazy stuff like cars, house, phones, horse and clothes
I started following you when i moved to Saudi from Switzerland, and now ill even also be visiting Ha Noi next month too, so this video was great watch! 😊 Ive also been vlogging my experiences of the cities !
Thanks for leaving this thoughtful comment 😊 My name is Ella! I really trying my best at vlogging. Every video I aim to get better 🙏 Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.

Cảm ơn bạn và gia đình đã dành tình cảm với đất nước Việt Nam chúng tôi, hi vọng bạn và gia đình sẽ cảm nhận được tình cảm của người dân hà nội,Chúc bạn và gia đình có chuyến du lịch vui vẻ
Ha! You video'd my apartment on your swan boat ride...its one of the lovely buildings with great views of Truc Bach Lake, famed for being the location where US pilot John McCain dropped when shot down in 1967. The neighborhood has just been turned into a walking street, and far less insane than the Old Quarter. It is delightful to watch other Westerners discover and beome enamored with my adopted city. It's been endlessly fascinating me for a decade and a half.
Only on festival days or weekends is Hanoi so crowded and chaotic. As for the first day of the week or the middle of the week, Hanoi is also peaceful and pleasant.
If you want to go for a walk, it's best to go to the right. If you go to the left, others may find it very difficult to see. Vietnamese culture, walking or using means of transport, go on the right. Wish you have a comfortable experience in Vietnam. welcome to peaceful vietnam
Really fun to watch this log and you guys really have the flexibility to understand different culture irrespective of their uniqueness to many other well-known western cultures.
gosh I was laughing my head off when she said these chairs reminded me the preschool time. When I was in the car in those intersections with that kind of traffic, I was thinking like if that is me, I would simply abandon the car and walk off...I agree that it is extremely hard to walk on the streets not the footpath. Apart from that, I bet you had a great time and enjoyed it!
Wow, such a lovely family!!! I love the positive energy that you guys brought to the viewers. It looks like you guys came to Hanoi during Xmas that's why all the streets were so much more crowded than normal 😂🎉
I remember your daughter was emotional on her last day in Ho Chi Minh City😂. BTW, the high-rise skyscrapers are in downtown. You can enjoy the panoramic views of Hanoi from the Lotte Center Tower. Downtown is modern and different from the Old Quarter. Enjoy your stay in Vietnam!!!
Love your videos of Vietnam! I'll be going next yr so your videos has been so informative 👌...you are a lovely family as well! As for the burning money you came across...i think that is for sending to heaven to loved ones thar has passed away. I'm not sure but i am asian and my grandmother used to do that when we visited my grandfather at the cemetery. I really enjoy all your travel blog videos!! 😊
Very cool adventure you had there! From the look of your and people's outfits, I supposed it was around Dec-Jan when it was a little chilly? I'm a Hanoian so probably I have a few things to add FYI: :D - The man you saw in the temple was burning joss/ghost money (the yellow things represent gold leaves) as offerings to some god/goddess or his ancestors. - The Old Quarters where you're visiting in this episode is a mix between low-rise and mid-rise buildings, between ancient, colonial-styled and slightly more modern boutique buildings. It is intentionally kept so to keep an "ancient" vibe. Hence the name. You'll find more modern highrises in the outlying / suburb areas of Hanoi (few tourists/vloggers feature those parts so that may be a good idea to film in those areas if you're looking to provide "more unique" contents or seek a more off the beaten track experience). - The dark, narrow alley that you were half-way through may be a dead end (leading to a communal space / courtyard shared by a few families), or to the street on the other side, it really depends. So it can be a fun adventure if there's no risk in sight (e.g. the dogs). The inhabitants are used to people "adventuring" past their alleys so most won't complain, and what's better is that there's no mugger/robber. - The low chairs/stools and low tables are used to maximize space use, and to "force" people to be in a more relaxed mode (mentally, not necessarily physically for some!), as it's difficult to look or act serious/uptight in those ridiculous furniture pieces. Many foreign dignitaries, diplomats and heads of state, President Obama and PM Albanese included, were invited to use exactly that kind of tiny stools on their street visits. Anyhow, you can ask the owners to pile up additional stools if they are too tiny for you.
Wow thank you for the explanation about everything! You could be a tour guide - so informative! We had such an amazing time exploring the city. Ella thought it was fun to explore the dark narrow lanes. We don't have anything like this in our home country so she was amazed. We felt like we were going on a treasure hunt 😊 Ella had fun taking the lead that night. Such happy memories. Hanoi is such a unique place and we can't wait to return again.
@@livingthejolife Glad to hear! I'm not a guide IRL, but I can be one for you - for free - when you do visit us next time! ;) In my previous job I explained stuff about our country to exchange students, delegations from overseas, etc. Just drop me an email. :)
Burning paper money is to send them to your loved ones in the afterlife to use (yes you are still in the rat race even in the afterlife XD). In Asia the bikes honk just to let others know they are there/coming up from behind/passing. Same as using a bicycle bell. They're not trying to be rude or road raging.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the best weather in central Vietnam when we were there. We are definitely going to come back though. We can't wait to explore some more. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Well that's a busy one i must say...wow how can so many people move in that place. It would drive me mad. So busy and colorful .Wouldn't mind being there to see it live.. Great show folks. Why spend all that money when you can take me there...Thanks for the look around...
Great vlog. Natural, relaxed and you cover a lot of things. One question which hotel did you stay at? Scrap that question just watched the end of the video 😂
Hi, I have just watched your video & I loved it. My family is going Hanoi on 1 Jan 2024, can you share with me the detailed itinerary including Hotel that you stayed and all the streets, café & restaurants that you visited ?
Welcome to Hanoi, I'm also a videographer of motorbikes in Hanoi :D glad you enjoyed the experience 😍Please watch more videos of motorbiking in Hanoi on my channel
... Việt Nam nơi lưu giữ những thứ đã mất của các nước phát truyển, nơi không có một quy định trận tự cụ thể nào... lộn xộn , ồn ào nhưng là nơi tất cả tôn giáo , sắc tộc , màu da đều bình đẳng như nhau và đặc biệt là nơi yêu chuộng hoà bình vì chúng tôi luôn biết cái giá của hoà bình nó như thế nào !🫶

... Việt Nam nơi lưu giữ những thứ đã mất của các nước phát truyển, nơi không có một quy định trận tự cụ thể nào... lộn xộn , ồn ào nhưng là nơi tất cả tôn giáo , sắc tộc , màu da đều bình đẳng như nhau và đặc biệt là nơi yêu chuộng hoà bình vì chúng tôi luôn biết cái giá của hoà bình nó như thế nào !🫶
gia đình hạnh phúc quá
