  • I'm Vietnamese and i'm so sick of being "live" in the country that the people cheating each other, goverment cuts the fund of the poor...I'm so desperated.

  • "Do you like dog?".....low quality reporting for a cheap laugh.

  • @simonpuravida You shouldn't do something your embarrassed by. If she likes to eat dog, so what. Its not cheap reporting if this really takes place.

  • @TheMirdoc People really don't eat dog these days in Vietnam, it is an old custom that has almost entirely ceased to exist.....but does provide a cheap laugh for reporting purposes.

  • @quantumdude "VIETNAMESE ARE SCUM"

    And you are a crazy person from Denmark.

  • @cadmus98 Thanks :D

I bet ur mama just a piece of shitd lik u for not teaching u not to talking about other ppl. buh I can talk bout u cuz u not a human! u a piece of shitd

  • @prettaybby Are you on drugs or simply retarded ? Type in english if you want to be taken seriously.

  • Hey Mr. Quantumdude,

    You sounded like you have had a very bad experience which created hatred for Vietnamese. If that's the case, I am sorry for what you've gone through!

    Posting negative comments are not nice. If you don't want to see negative replies, don't post negative comments.

    PS: Vietnamese are not scums. They are the most courageous human being!

  • @SuperPhandong excellent reply my friend!! i'm from Europe and this quantumdude is a poor excuse for a European let alone a human being!

  • @SuperPhandong i also have a feeling quantumdude is a "yank" living in demark

  • Viet-Dung (name, def) ; the manure that is excreted from parts of the indochinese jungle known as ''vietnam". It is basically the dirty (and smelly) offspring of centuries of crossbreeding between Indians and Chinese people. It sounds really annoying, is most of the time infected and/or a carrier of hepatitis A and has awful breath as a result of poor oral hygiene.

  • @quantumdude The ones who open their mouth with those words can only be described by the EXACT same words that they use.

  • The only positive thing youll get in vietnam is the result of your Hepatitis test. Dont go there, its like an open sewer !

  • @quantumdude open sewer like denmark you mean!!!!

  • Aussies are the new Irish; they're everywhere! (If you understand humour and the truth, you will not feel the need to post a reply). :))

  • Vietnam will always belong to the people of Vietnam. I'm an American who now understands how wrong our government leaders were during those horrible times in the sixties and seventies. Honor demands that we extend our hands in friendship, and work together towards a happy and prosperous future for the children of this excellent culture.

  • @moovitalong I would love to share that post Sir! But I fear that none of my friends on facebook would even be interested. I love travel...and have been very fortunate to travel all over the globe. I love Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand, Australia I would love to go to Vietnam. Honourable posting there!!

  • @cppcanada you dumb ass mother fucker.why dont you give up canada citizenship and reapply for VN citizenship and when china took over,you will become a fucked up chinese

  • Good or bad, Vietnam is developing now, we have poverty, unequality but we have more peace, food and education, a jobless person rarely starved in Vietnam, but I am not sure in other countries, we have corruption, but I don't think you can show me a clean government ever existed : ) so please come, and take some experience by yourself. You are free and warmly welcome (remember to leave your politic bias and closed mind at home). Cheer.

  • Every year Free Vietnamese (those escaped from the communist gooks) send back to Viet Nam billions of dollars to help out their relatives. This helped boost the staggering economy which is about to be collapsed due to severe corruptions within the government and stupid policy and regulations by the communist gangsters (dang cong san)..note the translation: bang dang=gang= crimimal organization..you find out for yourself...

  • how come you dont talk about the TET attack? how come you dont research about the south vietnamese side!

  • @honeydip2910 Vietnam war finished 40 yeaars ago leave it there in the past! The war is now HISTORY!

    Vietnam is now an economic tiger, its a powerhouse now for manufacturing and a burgeoning car industry too I believe!! And some British Universities are working with institutions over there! Long live Vietnam! May you have many successes! Ignore all these sad - if there is American anti-Vietnam sentiment - its because their economy is shit now!

  • I don't like the overall tone of this video. It's too sad. Not enjoyable.

  • what is the name of the song playing in the background, its so peaceful, i want to meditate to it

  • Ít lâu nay, người Việt trong và ngoài nước hết sức lo lắng về hiểm họa mất nước vào tay Trung cộng đang diễn ra từng bước khá rõ ràng. Hiểm họa này được thúc đẩy bởi hai yếu tố:

  • Tham vọng bành trướng của Trung cộng: Trung cộng muốn trở thành bá chủ thế giới, muốn mở rộng bờ cõi sang các nước lân cận như đã từng thực hiện đối với Tây Tạng, Tân Cương, Mông Cổ. Tham vọng này càng lớn mạnh khi nhu cầu phát triển kinh tế, kỹ nghệ của Trung cộng ngày càng gia tăng song song với đà gia tăng dân số...

  • Tham vọng nắm quyền vô thời hạn của đảng CSVN: Từ khi cướp được chính quyền năm 1945, CSVN ngày càng biểu hiện rõ ràng là một đảng cướp. Khi đã cướp được chính quyền, họ quyết nắm giữ quyền cai trị đất nước bằng mọi giá, bất chấp họ đã làm đất nước này ngày càng tụt hậu, nghèo đói, tràn đầy bất công, tệ nạn, và nhất là mất khá nhiều đất và biển cho Trung cộng.

  • Trong bối cảnh ấy, dân tộc Việt Nam trở thành nạn nhân của hai tham vọng trên. Trung cộng lợi dụng tham vọng của Bộ Chính Trị Việt cộng để thôn tính Việt Nam, nhất là lợi dụng thái độ cậy dựa, sẵn sàng đồng lõa, tiếp tay bán nước của Việt cộng, còn CSVN thì lợi sự bảo trợ của Trung cộng để giữ mãi độc quyền cai trị đất nước dẫu phải trả giá bằng những mật ước bán nước.

  • Ðược Bộ Chính Trị đảng CSVN tích cực tiếp tay, Trung cộng muốn thôn tính Việt Nam một cách ôn hòa, âm thầm, từ từ, không để quốc tế và người dân trong nước có cớ phản đối. Khi quốc tế và người dân biết được Việt Nam đã mất vào tay Trung cộng thì mọi chuyện đã xong từ lâu, không thể đảo ngược lại được.

  • Bằng dự án bauxít, Việt cộng để Trung cộng làm chủ Tây Nguyên, đưa người của họ vào Tây Nguyên, bất chấp điều đó vô cùng nguy hiểm cho nền an ninh quốc gia. Trước đó, Việt cộng đã nhượng cho Trung cộng hàng ngàn km2 đất và hàng chục ngàn km2 biển. Về sau lại còn cho Trung cộng thuê các rừng đầu nguồn 50 năm với giá rẻ mạt để họ tự do làm gì thì làm, kể cả lập căn cứ quân sự...

  • viet cong tạo điều kiện rất thuận lợi cho Trung cộng chở người, hàng hóa, kể cả quân đội và vũ khí vào Việt Nam, thậm chí có thể chở thẳng vào miền Trung và miền Nam qua đường mòn Hồ Chí Minh.

    Việt cộng cho dân Trung cộng tự do nhập cư vào Việt Nam không cần visa, tạo điều kiện cho Trung cộng lập các làng, các đô thị riêng, các trung tâm du lịch của Tầu tại Việt Nam ở những nơi thuận lợi nhất.

  • Hiện nay, đã có hàng triệu người dân Trung cộng vào Việt Nam định cư sinh sống và số người Tầu nhập cư vào Việt Nam ngày càng gia tăng.

    Việt cộng tạo cho dân Tầu mới nhập cư vào Việt Nam nhiều điều kiện thuận lợi để sinh sống bằng cách cho các công ty Trung cộng trúng thầu hầu hết các dự án thi công tại Việt Nam. Các công ty này ưu tiên tuyển nhân công Tầu vào làm, trong khi dân Việt thiếu công ăn việc làm trầm trọng.

  • Công nhân Trung cộng nhập cư vào Việt Nam nhiều khi đánh đập, ức hiếp, đối xử bất công với dân Việt, nhưng công an CSVN không dám can thiệp để bênh vực và bảo vệ dân mình, làm như Việt Nam đã hoàn toàn thuộc chủ quyền của Trung cộng rồi.

    Trung cộng bắn giết ngư dân, tấn công các tàu Việt Nam ngay trên lãnh hải Việt Nam, nhưng lại vu cáo ngư dân và các tàu của Việt Nam xâm phạm lãnh hải của Trung cộng.

  • Thế mà nhà cầm quyền Việt cộng không dám phản đối, như thể đã ngầm chấp nhận lãnh hải trước đây của Việt Nam hiện nay đã thuộc về Trung cộng, và hành động trên của Trung cộng là hoàn toàn đúng.

    Người dân lo sợ trước sự kiện bị mất nước vào tay Trung cộng nên đã phản đối bằng những cuộc biểu tình. Lẽ ra Việt cộng phải bảo vệ quyền biểu tình đã được hiến định, nhất là khi họ biểu lộ lòng yêu nước chống ngoại xâm, thì họ lại thẳng tay đàn áp.

  • Sau khi qua Bắc Kinh họp với lãnh đạo quân đội Trung Quốc vào ngày 29 tháng 8 vừa qua, Thứ Trưởng Quốc Phòng Việt Nam Nguyễn Chí Vịnh tuyên bố sẽ kiên quyết xử lý những vụ biểu tình chống Trung cộng tại Việt Nam, không để sự việc tái diễn như trước. Ðiều này cho thấy việc đàn áp biểu tình chống Trung cộng cũng như thông báo của Ủy Ban Nhân Dân Hà Nội yêu cầu chấm dứt biểu tình và tuần hành tự phát là do áp lực của Trung cộng.

  • Trước những sự kiện ấy, người ta có thể suy đoán rằng Trung cộng và Việt cộng đã ký với nhau những mật ước mà họ nhất định không công bố vì sợ người dân phẫn nộ sẽ vùng lên lật đổ chế độ. Qua những mật ước này, Việt cộng và Trung cộng đang âm thầm từng bước một biến Việt Nam thật sự thành quận huyện của Trung cộng.

  • Sự thật đó sẽ không được công bố hầu tránh sự phản đối của quốc tế và nhất là của người dân Việt Nam. Nói khác đi, trên danh nghĩa, Việt Nam vẫn là việc Việt Nam, nhưng trong thực chất, Việt Nam đang, và rất có thể là đã trở thành một quận huyện của Trung cộng.

    Người Việt yêu nước sẽ phải làm gì đây trước khi quá muộn?

  • hate vietnam 

  • lolz... i feel so sad after the video now i don't want to go :(

  • Shut up Vietnamese bit~ ! hahaa

  • eat dogs? fuck you

  • @noldorian86 what you might seem strange isn't strange to vietnam or asia.

    while learning a country you need to prepare your self because you can't expect the same thing your used to.

    Other places in asia also eat frogs, cats and animals you wouldn't even know.

    so be opened minded about this stuff

    you don't want offend veitnamese

    cause you won't come on top ^^

  • @noldorian86 get the fuck over it, it's not different than eating any other animal. Just because it isn't in your culture to eat dog, doesn't make it wrong. So fuck you.

  • @mra2zee so if its your culture its acceptable? oh my youre a stupid fuck

  • was there in april. it was awesome ;)

  • on behalf of the Vietnamese, I apologise to all the friends over the world who had to suffered swearing, insulting conversations among the Vietnamese in politics. Our country now is much more peaceful than some stupid losers keep talking abt their homeland. Visiting us to enjoy all the beautiful scenery, the diversity of culture in Vietnam. Well, regards dog meat, u can feel like it as a "culture shock" but if u r a real tourist, share the differences to broaden our mind ;)

  • @meomut Hey, I work for a veterinarian who lives in the U.S. but I'm open minded enough that I would try dog meat!

  • @meomut On the behalf of MYSELF, a Vietnamese, I appologize to all about the stupid comment made by this communist gook whom claims himself to be a Vietnamese. I do not appreciate faulty language but I despite lies and communist propagandas. I was born in Vietnam after the war and left the country when I was young but still remember vividly what terrible wrongs the communist gooks did and I recently came back ...things have not changed much since then...just more lies and propagandas

  • @meomut peaceful my ass Vietnam is so dangerous these days it's like a hell on Earth you Vietnamese never want to tell the truth only lies

  • @miluthui Then live with what you believe while the world is still changing then.

  • I don't like the corrupted system but at least I am still smart enough to realize that Vietnam now is an independent country, and it takes time to recover after the war. However, the most important thing is that Ho Chi Minh is much greater than the "piece of shit" who criticized him, coz the funny thing is that even if he had lured the 90% of Vietnamese, how could he do it to famous professors in the world (even in US) that he deserves his respects?

  • That girl contradicted herself, "dogs are friend but we still eat them...." that's so wrong, to eat your friend....Agreed with others, even when my root is Vietnamese, the current Vietnamese Gov is corrupted as hell....Love the country itself but I don't like the corrupted system.

  • Well if you stayed so many days in vietnam, why dont you show the modern sides of the country? Or doesnt that fit to the image as 'exotic' and 'backward' country? :) All the Viet kieu bashing Ho Chi Minh, shame on you :) you'd rather lived under french colonial rule who saw you nothing less than an "untermensch".

  • His history lesson is warped.

  • my father and mother lived there he said it was really hot and alot of bugs i am going there december 1 20011

  • I'm Vietnamese, and quite frankly, I give my thanks to Mr. Ho for kicking the french and the yanks out. Just like how America became independent.

    But I'm annoyed at how this country is now a corrupt rat's arse.

  • WHO IS CALLING THT VIET NAM IS SHIT I LIVE THERE BUM ASS

  • hahaha.. dog are delicious friend.... hahahah

  • Dog is a delicious friend! lol

  • For 5 dolla you gona holla !!

    So bring lotta rubba and Americana dolla !

  • THEY STILL EAT DOG WTF!!!!!

  • I LOVE VIETNAM AND IT'S PEOPLE

  • anyone know the soundrtack?

  • @TheMoonlighttx @OTRKurtz88 Welcome to VN & have a good time in Vietnam !

  • that girl is so cute -i love the way she says "delicious"! Going to Vietnam on Tuesday 14th June looks incredible

  • Well, I've been here 911 days, so do I get a medal or something? :/

  • @cockle0979 I've been here for 5607 days. Do I get a reward?

  • @cockle0979 , if you 're horny boy , you may get a medal of HIV , if you're loved to eat , you may get a medal of

    Diarrhea ! Anyway , it make you never miss VN !

  • @cockle0979

    Hohahahaha Thats Tough.

    I did Trip 5 weeks... was Begging for California again.

  • you guys missed one beautiful place in Vietnam - Danang. Go check it out next time :)

  • what is the name of the song used?

  • im VIETNAM , and my oppinion is all the countries are friends , except fackinh china

  • @Krotos9000 your english is good Viet Cong HAHAHAHAHAHA

    by Italy

  • swamp gooks viet shit stole the culture, roots, and history of 53 asian ethnic group. Northern vietnam was ethnic han and ethnic hmong territory. Southern vietnam as pure cambodian territory. VIet shit need to return to the jungles of east africia. They migratged out of there the last.

  • @VietSwampGookMonkey

    And you need to learn to write English correctly. Poor grammar and dictation very much describe who and what you are even though your screen name says it all already.

  • @mas360 , you must be talking about your english skill dumb ass. YOu have so many errors. Please get help for yourself before giving advise you swamp gooks. Swamp gooks all have horrible accent. Swamp gooks are subhuman. Swamp gooks are last out of east africa and that explain why they are so damn short, brown skin, big flat large noses, big flat wide faces. Damn viet shit are very hideous.

  • @VietSwampGookMonkey

    "advise" is a verb. You used it as a noun.

    Get an education, little boy.  Perhaps your trailer is too far from school? and you are too overweight to walk.

  • @VietSwampGookMonkey It's 'cause of people like you that there is no peace in the world. We are all human, no matter what race we belong to. Enough with your hating, please. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE! STOP BEING SO NARROW MINDED! You're a disgrace to humankind.

  • @voltair11, may I change your "hating" to "monopolist patriotism" before you send (if you dare!) the message to your Polit Bureau members? Thank you.

  • America did not lose the war , We turned it over the south nam military and THEY lost the war .

  • @crazyhorse1369

    Yup...and you are going to repeat same line with Afghanistan and Iraq in a year or two from now.

  • @mas360 Dude , we acomplished our misson . We caught saddam , we killed osama bin laden , thanks to bush NOT OBAMA .

  • @crazyhorse1369

    That is quite naive to believe we went there, lost some 5,000 US GI lives and spent nearly couple of trillion dollars to kill two individuals. Both Bush and Obama have a Golden Gate bridge to sell. You want to buy?

  • @mas360 No the fact you and all these people believe all this bullshit is naive . Obama has nothing to do with this war . Stop givin that comi mother fucker credit for somthing he had nothing to do with .

  • @crazyhorse1369

    Obviously you have a reading comprehension. What part did I say Obama should be given credit? Did you finish grade school?

    What can I expect from an individual who write a sentence full of profanity, which makes no sense to begin with?

    Have a nice life at your trailer park, son. I have no need to converse further with a piece of uneducated trash like you.

  • @mas360 You assume obama had somthing to do with it . The only uneducated trash around here is you . You come on youtube talking shit about america . None of my sentences are full of profanity . If you were smart you'd know that but your an idiot .

  • @uglyden1

    Yup, she speak from her naive... a perfect example of how successful the vietnamese propaganda system works...

    BIAS...BIAS...BIAS... so disapointed LONELY Planet

  • WIikipedia COMMUNISM (english only)- a plague..... WIKIPEDIA HOCHIMINH (ENGLISH only_) real name nguyen luu manh

  • haha. i was only messing. i didnt fight in vietnam. im 22 years old. amazing how gullible people are. i fuck my dad

  • I thought that they don't allow anyone to enter/leave their country.

  • Stop hating vietnam ^^". The government may not be that good, but vietnam and it people really not that bad of a place. Cause of internet these days, our generation learned a lot, believe me. Plus Vietnam history being through a lot, not just the Vietnam War you know.....at least it slowly growing, and our government not really that bad as north korea so.. >3>

  • @yeastori u fucking shjt u knw ?

  • @yeastori Ho Chi Minh is great person. You are a piece of shit.

  • @Incredible1288 He is a piece of shit and you are too for defending him, if it weren't for him then we wouldn't still be under the Japanese rule, and when the Americans won WW2 we would have been liberated from the Japs and the French without becoming communist, and we wouldn't become so morally corrupt, in other words "WE DIDN'T NEED Bac Ho to free ourselves, we didn't need the Vietminh PERIOD"

  • @yeastori

    A piece of shit who stood up for Vietnam and drove out the imperialists.

  • WIKIPEDIA HOCHIMINH(english version) the bastard real name is nguyen luu manh he used a lot of names ,he even wrote a book describe HO as a HUMBLE saint using another fake name - WTF to millions of VN refugees,HCMcity sound like BINLADEN CITY given to NewYork after jihad took over .ignorant,brainwashed kids waving red flags and Ho picture make me sad

  • Thank you for this great introductory video about Vietnam! To be honest, Vietnam is not yet tourist-friendly country, but the longer you stay, the more you will find the hidden charm about the country.

  • Vietnam is MORE beautiful today because the French and American invaders were chased out by the vietnamese.

  • @vnohagibis

    Where you get that?

  • @vnohagibis,

    You really need to pull your head completely out of your ass and smell some some fresh air. Why is your president came to the US to kiss the US president?

  • @USAdude30 Haha communist! =)) Gosh, you found a very very good idea. =)) But I don't mean it after all. Actually I can't talk about politic here if I still wanna have an youtube in my country. Yet, fbk is not allowed in VN. :)) So, what is left behind is consequences of Agent Orange. :) It's a painful truth that faces us. I wish this thing can go away with the war, but it doesn't. However, asian diet is good for health, trust me. ;) And you are so lucky, I wish that I can travel like you. :x

  • War is a good thing by the Way. The government love it.It controll population and also help change society point of view. Keep the people busy and do not think of the WHAT THE GOVERNMENT REALLY IS DOING.What is the point of Vietnam War? Find the answer for yourself. America Fought For a reason and We got it.

  • Here the secret behind the Vietnam WAR. White Man came in the Asian Country. They set one leader North and One south such as South Korean and North Korean. North Vietnam and South Vietnam. In the end make them fight.Separate the people and make them hate each other. Oh wow and we call our self Smart. Got our ass lied by white man. LOL!

  • thank you for sharing your video.

    Viet Nam Vet , Quang Tri 70-71

  • @specialtaskforceswat I am sad that a lot of folks still dont know the truth..hochiminh and communism is a terrible idea,my parents ran from north to the south in 1954 and in 1975 we ran to the US,USA acted like a hero and paid a heavy price to protect us from commie.I think if i see an evil person attacking someone,maybe i will stay away and not get hurt if i intervene.But USA keep acting like a hero and you have to suffer because of that idealism.

  • Comment removed

  • @USAdude30 The war is gone but what is left behind is so much more terrible. However, I love your taste.

  • viet nam rule u mother fucker

  • They live in such squalor.

  • I m always looking to see more and more of the country! I havent as yet visited the North but plan to this summer

  • @PrinceMustDie666 its because you have never been here, ur is what makes americans look like ass holes, u make assumptions before visiting, everywhere is different, theres friendly and vicious people everywhere, please do us all a favor and grow up

  • @PrinceMustDie666 You're the whole reason america is seen as a country of assholes. It would've been better if the English kept you as a colony. Fuckers.

  • @hahalolX6 Vietnam won......................that all there is to it. History is written by the Victor and because in history, vietnam is said to won the war, that means we won.

  • vietnam use to be a part of china....

  • Ho Chi Minh is no great uncle or father. He is a disaster to this country. I can't believe she called him a great "father" when in fact he is the one who hired people to kill his own children from the women he raped.

  • Vietnam use to be beautiful, not anymore...

    Now it is only a painted picture for tourists.

  • @shiroPhoneyB If it makes you feel any better, tourists probably don't step off the beaten path very often. Most of the country probably doesn't experience much in the way of tourism.

  • A friend told me about your video - Appreciate it

  • Napalm Strike: Roasting Commies! Lol jk that's offensive

  • Dear Lonely Planet,

    Your publications have been undermined by a variety of unsound passages brimming with inaccurate descriptions of people, places, and food. May I specify that your Thailand and Vietnam issues are especially useless.

    Re this video, the music is awful and I'm fairly certain the American war you're referring to is the American-Vietnam war. Take off your backpack and please consider getting an education--it may help you improve on your writing, editing, and video work.

  • @monaco193 Well said.

  • @hahalolX6 Read "A political-incorrect guide to the Vietnam War"

  • fuck vietnam

  • Vietnam is also a country were people can enjoy the tour with family as well as friends.

  • @vietnamtravelmail lol people usually travel with friends or family

  • There is no more war, no more enemies, why is Vietnam still maintaining and supporting a massive military presence other than for the purposes of propping up an authoritarian regime? Why spend so much effort in silencing any opposition viewpoint? The gap between the poor and the rich is widening and this will certainly be the catalist for a revolution. The communist government of Vietnam knows it is living on borrowed time.

  • @vuman9 Exactly the same could be said for the USA... All you need to do is change the words Vietnam with America, and communist with capitalist

  • You speak out against the government, you go to jail. Any attempt to discuss or publish any kind of statement espousing democracy will be severely punished.There is no right to organize any kind of party because the communist government has the sole and exclusive right to dictate what is right for everyone, rightly or wrongly. If you want to practice a religion, it has to be an approved religion. The reason Vietnam keeps a large army in time of peace is to protect their illegitimate government.

  • @mas360

    I have no doubt HCM was a nationalist but the way he did was out of personal gain rather. Now that we got the good down lets start with the bad. He betrayed his long time friend and fellow nationalist who are fighting for the freedom of Vietnam from the French, Phan Boi Chau. Second during his time as the head of the "Democratic Republic of Vietnam" him and his party slaughter and imprison many oppositional political parties. He made sure that his party was the only choice for Vietnam.

  • @illusion0o

    I cannot think of any revolutionaries in any third world country since the 1900 had not committed the same "sin" as you claimed Ho did. I am not one bit surprised if he did what you claimed.

    However, I do not see Ho riding in limousine, living in a palace, throwing lavish party for his family as his counterpart in the south did. The man was not even married. So, I do not consider your claim of his "personal gain" to be valid.
