  • It was great to get back to Hanoi after two years of border closures. In this video, I take a look at how the city is recovering from a traveller’s perspective, check out some of my old haunts and catch up with friends - Nga and Liem from Collective Memory, Jimmy Pham from KOTO and Nguyen Qui Duc from Tadioto.

    Hanoi - historic and filled with unbelievable raw charm! May my favorite city continue to rise and recover from its losses.

    I visited Hanoi back in 2019, partly using info. from your videos. And to my surprise, it ended up being my favorite city of all time. From older men playing badminton at 8am, to young people running all kinds of new shops, it's full of genuine people striving to doing something with their lives. It's just so full of life, and I think that's something that will always endure.

    It’s an amazing video. UA-cam algorithm should show your videos to more people.
    Cháu rất thích video của chú. Cảm giác nhẹ nhàng, hoài niệm, những cuộc phỏng vấn ngắn với những người dân bản địa, những câu chuyện qua lời kể của chú và những góc ảnh đẹp đã gây ấn tượng mạnh đối với cháu ❤

    You deserve a lot more views. Great content and very informative. I’m doing SE asia trip for the next 6 months so your videos are very helpful. Didn’t realise Vang Vieng was dangerous in the 90s!

    I'm equally happy to see Rusty Compass vlogs returning as I am to see the city of Hanoi rebounding. Beautiful postcard! My wife and I are finally returning to Viet Nam in November and this video makes us look forward to it even more. May only have time for the south this trip as we are scouting for a place to kick off our retirement in a couple of years. [Vung Tau is a leading contender, Hanoi in the mix as well.] Thanks for the excellent and enjoyable video. Much appreciated...looking forward to more. Safe travels!

    This was such an uplifting video. My sisters and I are going to Hanoi this month. We're also making roundtrips to Sapa, Hoi An and Ninh Binh. We were born in Vietnam but adopted as babies and have not had the opportunity to come back in 17 years. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm.

    Beautiful Hanoi, the OLD Quarter was the second place on earth I visited outside Australia, the bedlam, the madness but I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Still my favourite place ever, and miss it terribly. The people there are the most friendly and genuine.Thanks for the fantastic memories from the video. I am so glad they are surviving and can't wait to visit again one day.

    My wife and I visited Hanoi in March of 2020, just before the borders closed. Our flight back to Singapore got cancelled and things were chaotic to say the least. It warms my heart to know that most of locals held on and things are returning to normal again. Thanks for the wonderful video, Mark.

    I’ll travel to Vietnam April 1, as a tourist, I was in HCM city and I enjoyed it very much I’ve never been to Vietnam before. Yes the citizens were very curious when they saw An American tourist . I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation and I will be back. It is one of the easiest countries to enter
    And E visa, And passport. You can’t get much easier than that.
