You should have put it at the description.
Bà rất là thương anh nhiều.bà bây giờ già rồi không biết sống được bao nhiêu năm nữa.nếu có duyên anh dẫn bà đi nước ngoài chơi một chuyến
I will go next week!!
@@onafurst3596 tôi không biết tiếng Anh
@@onafurst3596 OK bà cụ rất là thương các anh.hãy mua chút quà dì đó cho bà cụ.vì bà cụ rất thương các anh.bà cụ coi các anh như thành viên trong gia đình
Shes a real Asian grandma, scolds for bringing in unnecessary gifts, doesnt accept the money but shows it to everyone, shows how proud she is of Chris & to ensure that those ppl know how nice Chris is.
@sacuradey6271 ! bạn có tư duy rất giống với tôi trong vai trò người quan sát nhân văn .
She reminds me of my Chinese neighbor who would feed my cats while I was on vacation. I would leave money in an envelope for her on the kitchen counter, but she never took it. I then left her flowers and she scolded me in her limited English that it's not necessary to give her anything for being a good neighbor. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away in her early 60's. I miss her so much. She was the most generous person and took such pride in being a "good neighbor" to me. She loved my kitties too and took very good care of them.
Grandmas always trying to hook you up with their single granddaughters or daughters lol
She even chased off the scalper and told her to give them some money back.
Absolutely 💯 right brother she is true asian grandma this how our grandma treat us always love and food 🙏😍🥰🤩
Granny said " don't say the food was free, when it was a Gift". That had so much depth, it hit my heart!
that is beautiful, thank you for letting us know !!
lol...that's what business owners call.. a real business owner.. she's all business.. a good one has you coming back for more. she's getting free advertising.. that's why she doesn't need to take a hundred bucks..
@@F2PARTIES What difference would it make if the food was "FREE" or "GIFT" had her intention was all business. Many would take her wise choice of words as a lesson & learn from it. You are missing the many splendour thing in humanity. Besides, her diet of an early meal of vegetarian food before mid-day & her shaven head are strong indications that Granny is a pious, practicing 8 precept Buddhist.
1. Try give the money to the daughter
2. Pay off her debt directly
3. Save up money for the grandson to go to school and tell her.
4. Take her on a trip and surprise her with something special when she comes back. Gifts have proven to be effective
I think she'd appreciate 3 since she mentioned how proud she was that her daughter went to school.
I just binged all the videos with her and they warmed my heart. She genuinely wants to love you guys without recieving money from you. She really does see you as her family. This is so special. ❤
Or give the money directly to her in private without recording the interaction. She probably feels embarrassed.
@@mbczxaydbzrkmszj I don't think thats that lol.
Its just your typical grandma attitude
she's not poor, and probably she richer than majority of vietnamese people, she even have a lot of employees
@@mbczxaydbzrkmszj Dude, my grandma gave me money for driving her home. Its literally 5 min drive. I refuse, she tells me she will throw the money out the window.
You cant refuse, she would actually throw it out
@kondwanimahaka-phiri6398 great suggestions =)
Having a Vietnamese grandma is probably one of the greatest successes in life, Chris. Cherish her while she is still around. Cheers!
This. It's rare.
❤❤❤❤hi there💛💛💛💛💛
I’m Vietnamese and u don’t just speak well but I can tell u have completely embraced the culture. Talk to our elders with complete respect. 👍🏼
How much in pounds or dollars did he try to give to Grandma?
Is not accepting gifts a Vietnamese thing? Maybe if it's a guest or someone you consider a grandson? It's both amazing and puzzling to us.
@@babyshamblerEnough to potentially get a wife.
@@GizmoMalteseVietnamese are some of the most embracing people to foreigners that are humble and thoughtful. Vietnamese culture is truly a wonderful thing you have to experience.
@@babyshambler Looked to be about $80-100, which goes a long way in Vietnam!
Protect her at all costs. She is truly a grandmother, Loving and Caring.
❤️💯
My grandma always put money in my jacket without me knowing.
When I leave I suddenly have money in my pocket haha
@@feenok3314 She sounds amazing 😊
@@dopedrums She is the best!
@@feenok3314good for u man
This reminds me a little of when I went to Japan. I was born there and left before I was 2 years old. When I was 11, we were living in Korea and my parents took me and my brother to Japan so I could see where I was born and started life. What I didn't know is there was an old woman who used to sometimes take care of me and she loved me so much when I was a baby. We went to visit her and she must have been in her 80s and she just cried and cried and said "Bikki-chan" over and over again. while hugging me. I don't think she ever thought she would see me or my parents again.
That’s so cute 🥰 my heart is thoroughly warmed. I bet you brought her so much joy
that’s so beautiful. im so happy you got to see her again and vice versa - im sure it meant the world to her. i was also taken care of by an older friend of my moms and i have regrets for not visiting her as often as i could’ve. angsty kid stuff :(
@@el-topoIt was a very emotional time for her to see me at 11 years old. We left Japan when I wasn't even 2 years old and 10 years later she got to see me one last time before she died (she had to be in her 80s when we visited).
“Do you want to marry my daughter?” Such a grandma move lol
With so much hate around, this is so wholesome and much needed positive vibes we need.
Yeah. Let’s go to VN
Fhìộhh
Dam straight
This comnent makes ne cry😢,so true👍👍👍👍keep on spreading Love in this World pleaee🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great people
Can we make a fundraiser for this kind soul? Grandma deserves the world!
she probably wouldn't accept the money 😭😭
Grandma is a very proud and hard working lady she wouldn't want any charity it would upset her to think of such of a thing . Money Don't really matter she's happy doing what she does and wouldn't change it.
She would refuse it
Lmao fundraiser for what? Do you not see the stacks in her hand. Don’t look down on people in other parts of world and assume they need money. Grandma is self reliant and she successful too.
Your Vietnamese is very impressive and the way you speak is very respectful... and you understand the culture so well. I love how the both of you are truly like family.
Are they not blood relatives?
@@torey4322 they're not relatives at all but treat each other as family
she slapped that hand like any granny would when you try and help them “tsh go sit down” ahhh so sweet 😭😭
20:47 the way she adjusts his bag like a caring grandmother looking out for her beloved grandson...she's a wonderful woman
I found that small moment/gesture very touching as well
Yes... I noticed that too
😭😭 worldwide grandma
for sure re-watched that moment, reminded me of my gma
When she saw the money inside the envelope near the end and went "AYYY" I died laughing. Such a genuine lady, so precious.
I was just about to comment that lmao
@@FortFarza So funny. I really do have a massive soft spot for anyone who just wants company or someone to talk to and NOTHING else. They are the best people. Good luck to you.
LMAOOO that got me haha
Good luck to you too my friend@@PushingDownDaisys
If everyone had a grandma like that, the world would be a better place. The love, the concern, the care she exudes is so wonderful to see.
Does Putin deserve a grandma like that too?
So sweet of you too embrace our culture and Grandma.. speaking the language and respecting the elders like you do ❤.. it's our culture to give
But how is it just your culture when it is his culture and his grandmother
@@bibiwithlove5317it’s not his culture he is a travel youtuber and it’s not his actual grandma
@@Ky-tz4pf really? But I thought this was his real grandmother...I'm so confused now
@@bibiwithlove5317 I don’t know much about his channel but it doesn’t seem like they are blood related he just calls her grandma maybe because it’s respectful? I’m not really sure but I can assure you they are not “real” grandson and grandmother
She tries to be fair by giving you back some money, this is so amazing, she treats you like her grand sons. She is so sweet 😊
Certified grandma behavior 👌👌👌👌
We called it “rat co duyen voi ba”. She and you knew each other in yours previous lives lol.
@@0oli.vr2😂😂😂😂
Also her debt is like 27 dollars. I could pay off her debt without it making any dent in my living plans. That puts things in perspective.
@@breakingbadest9772All it shows is that Western Society is doomed. If she can take a $250 loan, and make a living off it as a chef and enjoys her calling, then why the hell are North Americans spending outrageous amounts of money for the same shit.
As a Vietnamese man, the way her stance was at 2:45 with the hand behind her back. I just knew the moment you turned your back toward her, she was gonna try and sneak money in your pocket. Classic grandma move. 😂
100%!
😂 that’s so cute
The hand smack as well
Mannn the smack that follows you trying to assess what has been shoved into your pocket is so classic 🥲
bwaaaagh so adorable!!!
I like how she fed you both a variety of dishes then at the end said “go home and nap, you can eat when you wake up” lol ok grandma 😊
my husbands mother is malaysian and she also scolds me for bringing her gifts haha i can tell it warms her heart. she gifts me back so much more everytime. she is a wonderful woman and i love her so very much!
she holds my hand when we walk down the street and educates me on life, love and how to live a long happy life. my mumma lily is extraordinary
Aww. She didn't accept the money. She's so sincere in her affection. Love her spirit. She showed everyone the gifts and even the money and though she wouldn't accept the latter, she still wanted you to have the credit. It would be great if you could take her on a trip someday. I'm guessing she doesn't treat herself to trips away. She's so hardworking and compassionate. A true gem
Typical grandma
Usually they are happier to be home. When you are that old traveling becomes a hassle lol
@@hatduong2023Tv-tf1gi you said usually, in the video she was clearly excited by the idea of visiting him
This woman alone makes me want to visit Vietnam.
What an amazing soul!
An absolute "Earth Mother"
You should do her an American thanksgiving dinner I bet she would love that 😊we need more people like her in this world to share the love and happiness 😊
This is so freaking sweet! You can tell how much she cares about you, and you about her. Thoroughly heartwarming.
She was definitely around during the Vietnam War. Just shows how love and kindness can overcome anything. God bless this woman her shop and her family ❤
There's a good possibility she was pro anti communism, despite that filth takingo ver.
Dude, like all Vietnamese of her age was around during the Vietnam War. It is difficult to maintain such kindness after all of the hardship, and she managed to be a very kind person, especially in a big city like Saigon!
Is funny but I see the pattern where people who had been in wars with USA tolerate Americans more than people who havent.@@hoppinggnomethe4154
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 I was told it's different....it is easier to be kind after you have gone through literal hell. Because no matter how bad it gets it is never that bad again. And that is something that strong souls hold on to. I survived that so I will survive this, For this can never compare to that. Obviously easier here is not the right word, but it's the one I have. I went to a pho restaurant so much during college that they pretty much treated me this way too, but they let me pay. They would not let me tip. But they would let me pay. 😂 Grandma had scars from the war, she was missing a finger I'm assuming napalm because it was definitely burns but odd formations. I asked about them quietly once when she was playing with my long hair as I ate and if they brought her pain. She's the one that told me this perspective. I miss them, I miss finding candy in my pockets and bookbag. I miss being brought tea when I didn't ask for it but she decided I did. 😂 beautiful strong souls who radiate nothing but love.
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 Probably because they know that these wars are started by evil people and that the one's that fought them, many were drafted.
Chris you need to fly grandma to Hanoi for 2 nights. Book her into a nice hotel and show her the best parts of Hanoi. If shes happy to be on UA-cam, you can do a 'Grandma in Hanoi'. Make grandma popular on UA-cam!! 🥰 I love watching grandma...
Omg yes!
I wanna go to vietnam so bad. Every video I see they are just the friendliest of people
You said "Bà ơi" so lovely, how kind and happy both grandma and nephew!
This Vietnamese grandma is so cool, she can speak Vietnamese, Cantonese and Chinese. Best of all, she is so hospitable and kind towards people and most importantly towards you.
She is a Hoa.
Cám ơn Chris đã đem ẩm thực và văn hóa Việt đến với người nước ngoài. Bà là một người bà miền Nam điển hình: hiếu khách, tốt bụng, vui vẻ.
Those are the same words we use to describe American Southern Grandmothers too 😍
Người Sài Gòn luôn là vậy.. Hiếu khách,tốt bụng
What a beautiful people ♡ this man has inspired me to visit your country one day and experience the love of your people !
Grandma is so cute. I love how she keeps feeding you. What a sweet woman.
Grandmas around the world are similar around the world. You are a great grandson to go and see her and spend time with her. It’s something she and you will never forget and that’s very special
I love grandma. Reminds me of mines. I Literally tear up every time watching these grandma videos. She is so kind hearted and giving. Talking about how she’s in debt but refuses to take your money as a gift even when that helps her.
I'm from Brazil and love Vietnam🇧🇷❤🇻🇳
Cảm ơn bạn đã yêu quý đất nước Việt Nam của chúng tôi. Tôi rất yêu nước mình và cũng yêu mến Brazil của các bạn
❤❤❤😊
Welcome to VIETNAM ❤❤❤
Thank you for loving us. Always welcome you, and hope to see you in Vietnam some day
Brings a tear to my eye man. This is so beautiful. She's such a lovely grandma. Also, damn man your Vietnamese is excellent.
She is so precious! This video is bittersweet to me because I never got to meet my vietnamese grandmother. But I have pictures of her and how beautiful she was and stories from my family.
Grandma is such a typical Southern Vietnam person. She is so very sweet. Wish she has a long life.
Idk how to explain it but I feel like all grandmas around the world have the same loving energy its soooo heartwarming
No. I'm American. My grandmother was nothing like that.
Ah..dang- sry to hear abt that, well a loving grandma doesn't have to be biological - there's always role models you can look to @@missellyssa
@@missellyssa ok I’m sorry your grandma didn’t have a heartwarming loving energy. Sad ig 🤷🏻♀️
@@missellyssa bro just can't let a good thing be good
@TragicXOOfficial It just doesn't make any sense yk, it's like saying all mothers have a loving energy, like, no. Not all of them. Being a parent doesn't turn you into a good person and some of them are awful, that's why we should be especially appreciative of people like Vietnamese grandma 🙏
Aww you can tell she had real love for you man, that’s how our elders care. I’m glad yall embraced the relationships.
This is such a heartwarming video. I absolutely fell in love with how the locals treat you all and how grandma truly has accepted you as her own.
Now this is what hospitality looks like.🥹Grandma is a sweetheart with a kind soul. We must protect her at all costs she’s too precious not to! 💜
Thật sự trân trọng tình cảm giữa Grandma và Chris. Xúc động sâu sắc khi xem video này, nó chỉ đơn giãn là tình người
Ami ❤oui
Một bà mẹ Việt Nam mến khách và những đứa con như cháu yêu đất nước Việt Nam xinh đẹp, hòa bình thân thiện luôn yêu chuộng cuộc sống hòa bình, ko có chiến tranh. Mong cho mối quan hệ ngày càng tốt đẹp, bền vững
Awe …. She treats you like her grandson. I love this so much ❤
Shes like the vietnamese version of my irish Nan. Always poor materially but always giving and thinking of everyone. Always something in the cupboard. Always feeding you. When you joined the family you were added to her list of stuff to get for the cupboard. Miss you Nan. ❤
Same with my Pennsylvania Dutch grandma 😢 Love and miss her so much
I miss her going to the cupboard for a pack of socks or a cadbury selection box (with a questionable use by date as purchased at the market). Thinking of everyone and saying "your looking very thin I'll get you some tea and toast" in her broad, beautiful Dublin accent even when we'd all clearly put on weight.
Grandma loves you and she wants to give you money. Just quietly pay it forward to another struggling Grandma. This grandmother would approve. ❤
I think Grandma will be very happy if he spends the money on himself. Asian grandma culture. ❤
Unconditional love from grandma ❤
Grandma is a universal person i miss mine now😢😢
" don't say I give u free stuff!" Oh I love grandma 💖💖💖
She reminds me of my "Thai Grandma", who I have to visit every time I'm in Bangkok. She's the sweetest and most wholesome person I ever met. When I'm eating, she won't even let me cut my own food. I can't wait to see her again. It's extra special to me considering I never had a grandma here in the states.
The way their sweetness and kindness just keeps reverberating back and forth amongst each other just filled my soul. An inspiration to keep loving on one another. Bless them.
What an absoulutely beautiful grandma and grandson relationship! ❤
She is really nice Grandma and she really meant it that's why give money to you same like she gives to her kid... she love you..
this world would be paradise if everyone was like her, what a beautiful soul she is mannnnn 🧡
Such a sweet old lady. I wish her nothing but happiness and success!
She seems so sweet... bless her
Kudos to you and your bud. You guys seem very respectful and friendly. Keep it up
Aww man...the way she argued with you over the money, at the end of the video, reminded me so much of my grandmother; I'm teary-eyed. And then she tells you to put on your helmet. How precious! May she live forever.
I have fallen in love with the Vietnamese culture through your videos, Chris. I now dream about visiting grandma or the little shops with Max and you. Hahah
Should learn some Vietnamese so you can interact. It will be much better experience when you do travel.
Watching this video, make me feel like i m iin my grandmother's house, hearing cantonese , yak fan, ho hyak ma,,
This just warms my heart. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your understanding and respect for the local culture. Hope you and granny will maintain this amazing bond.
We can tell she doesn’t have much but she loves Chris and gives him a lot of food and even money in return of his gifts. Respect for her.
Tặng bà đúng dịp lễ tết lì xì kèm theo chúc sức khỏe chắc bà sẽ nhận!! Tình cảm người Việt Nam là vậy, đông đầy yêu thương sắc sâu vẹn đường!!
Grandma senses your good heart and respect for her language and culture. I wish to visit Vietnam and would love to visit your Grandma's cafe. I am hungry for her dim sum. Yummy! EDIT: So glad I stumbled on your channel today. New sub!
Ooh my my, this is beautifully, grandma loves you so much,💕, that is unconditional love
What’s a lovely grandma. I think she’s Chinese Vietnamese and she makes me thinking of my mom.
She’s really love you, Chris ❤
Xưa kia nước Việt bao gồm Quảng Đông, Quảng Tây. Giờ đã thuộc Trung Quốc. Những người hoa ở Việt Nam hiện nay thực ra vẫn là người Việt.
Đã là người Việt thôi cần gì phải gốc gác nào!
Vietnamese are much more friendly than Chinese in general.. You dont see this much in China. Right now, Chinese media is talking bad about all foreigners but they dont like Americans the most, because of Taiwan and geo-politics, Sabbatical was just in China, and many Chinese people walked away from him when he said he was American.
@@tubester4567 i don't blame them - they've lied themselves into wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Serbia, Vietnam, have been involved in wars in somalia, yemen, sudan, and a whole host of other countries, and they have more than 600 military bases around the world and more than 300 biological facilities all over the world. Most recently, they've written a blank check to ukraine to encourage more shredding of slavic lives, and now they've found their way back into more intervention in the middle east. look up wesley clark's interview on the 7 countries that they were seeking destroy, much of which i've already mentioned. Last one is Iran, and it's all to convenient that they've begun a conflict in iran's backyard. America and the western countries haven't been a positive presence in the world, if we're frank.

Lovely grandma. 😍 she is really a good-hearted, humbled person full of wisdom ❤️ love her. She's peoples Grandma's, very sweet and caring! ❤❤❤
This is the sweetest thing. 💗 oh my goodness. How beautiful and wholesome. I hope she's well. The way she looked up at you. Protect her at all cost!🎉
How incredibly heartwarming. Her smile speaks volumes!
This is honestly the best thing ever! So wholesome. I laughed, teared up and felt warm just watching this. Please give all my love to Grandma and do keep uploading more of Vietnam. Such a fascinating place and the food looks amazing!
Chris nói tiếng Việt giỏi quá rồi, cách nói chuyện giống như nguời Việt,hòa đồng, vui vẻ và đầy tình nguời.
Awe she just adores you! It's so sweet seeing your interact with your grandma. It makes me miss my own grandma.
This is so lovely! Please keep visiting and love on this woman
She is so sweet, its nice when older ladies can just overreach and become someone elses grandma. She treats you just as my grandma would before she passed. Never take money, help, nothing, it was always about catering to me. Miss you grams
This will always be one of my favorite interactions. You can really sense the love she has for you. I can't believe it has already been a year since your last time visiting her!
OMG, you are so loved!
It’s good that you took the time to visit your grandma! 💜💙🌹🇺🇸☮️
Grandmas will always be grandmas always taking good care of her grandchild...reminiscing those childhood days, slipping money into our hands without grandpa noticing ...Grandmas are just so sweet and they are a bonus blessing given to us by our Creator 😊 What a kind soul... Its emotional❤ Blessed are those who gives without expecting anything in return... Bless her with long life and good health. Hope you will keep visiting her.
Grandma is a total sweetheart!
May she stay longer in this world 🌍, she is kinda loving and socialising
I call myself a Christian, but you show the love of Christ through your actions more than I ever have, and it greatly humbles me. God bless your great kindness. I will pray for you and for Grandma. God bless.
What has religion got to do with this? This is just human interaction.
Triggered much ?@@markhepworth
@@Momonga32 👈Trolling for “god”...🤦♂️🤡😆
She treated you like a child baby 👶 so fun to watch! Gold bless her ! ❤
This was so touching. I can see that she really loves you because you are such a decent and genuine guy.
Awww - this makes my heart so very happy. What a wonderful human-to-human interaction and genuine love and kindness.
Mình xem 3 lần em đến thăm bà . Thời gian thật nhanh lúc nào cũng 1 năm quay lại không biết chúng ta còn bao nhiêu cái 1 năm nữa ❤❤❤❤❤
I just recently visited my family after 6 years again and seeing how you are so educated in our culture reminds me when I visited them. Everyone is so beautiful and lovely it makes my heart melt! I love your videos and will continue on watching them.
It‘s a good way to practice my speaking and listening in Vietnamese too!🥰❤
nice bro! Are you half Vietnamese bro?
Nice man! You give people hope when you enjoy their company and their food. Blessings to you for speaking their language so well.
Wow she is preciously sweet. How lucky you are man, she’s a really kind lady. ❤ to yas
I love this. This is why learning languages is so important. It opens up the chance to really connect with people and brings so much joy to all.
rất cảm phục Chris, sống giàu tình cảm, thân thiện
Cảm ơn Chris đã spreaded cuộc sống, văn hoá và đất nước Viêt Nam đến Thế Giới. Thanks
Đúng vậy, anh bạn tay phương Chris rất là hiền lành dễ thương 👍
What a blessing to have her in your life. When I used to visit my Grandparents, my Grandma would always have to fix me something to eat. Very hard working, very independent.
So wholesome. Brought tears to my eyes. ❤
Everyone should have a grandma like her in their life! Such a sweetie ❤ Also mad props for speaking Vietnamese! I’m so jealous of people that learn tonal languages.
Bạn ch rít sống rất tình cảm , bạn đã hiểu văn hoá
Việt nam và người hoa , bạn ứng xử như thế sẽ được nhiều người xem ủng hộ kênh của bạn
I love that you enjoy the culture and are so open and comfortable with everyone!
Speechless!! The love you share for each other is just ineffable…❤❤❤❤
She's so sweet. Giving you back that money and just wanting to feed you. OMG protect this woman!
That's so awesome ❤ you lucky guy! Opposite side of the world and she's come to love you like a grandson 😊
Omg my mouth was watering uncontrollably. She's the most wonderful person.
What a beautiful woman. She is so full of love.
True love never dies. It doesn't matter where you are from or who you are, the relationship is there for all to see.
She takes such good care of you! You are blessed to have her in your life.
