Chris Bisho Whoaaaa what a beautiful story. I’m Vietnamese American and I love to hear stories like this. In my opinion, interracial marriage is such a beautiful thing because the couples have to work extra hard to adapt to each other’s different cultures, different upbringings as well as ways of living. Congrats on your 25 years of marriage.

Phuc Map, one thing I wished you would have addressed is how serious the girls get after you date them like 3x. Someone in another video mentioned that casual dating isn't a thing there as the girls get attached by the 3rd date and think they are an item. Maybe you can address it on your channel one day.

Having moved to Vietnam from the USA, my wife and I have been adopted by a wonderful family and many very close friends. We've been coming to Vietnam for five years and spent one and a half years here during the covid19 lockdown before deciding to sell everything in the USA and moved to Vietnam. We are slowly picking up phases and learning many customs. It not easy for us being elderly but we're trying. Vietnam is a fabulous country with amazingly friendly people and a rich history. But I was always told by my father "if you're not learning your wasting your life. So my wife and I are still learning and really appreciate our great new life in Vietnam. We feel truly fortunate and blessed to live this wonderful life in this great country! THANK YOU for having us Vietnam! Sam and Margaret Adler

Great advise given from your father.

I was once married to a lovely Japanese woman. Not learning Japanese made it impossible for me to ever really know her family, and ultimately that played a part in the demise of our relationship. Heed my advice, and the advice of the guy in this video...if you marry a woman (or man) from a country foreign to you, do your best to learn their native tongue.

@National Socialist Vietnamese Workers Party capitalism isn't socialist.

As an American who is now married to a Vietnamese lady more than 45 years I respectfully offer the following comments. When comparing a Vietnamese with any foreigner many people seem to think that we are comparing cat with dog. We are in fact simply comparing human being with human being and that every single human being in this world is unique. Of course... cultural difference will play out but believe me... there are ladies here in Vietnam where my wife and I have been living for the last 30 years... yes means yes and no means no. Simply be natural and respectful with each-other and assuming both parties to a relationship have reasonably similar interests then happiness will abound. Resolve any issue that may have come up during the day before going to bed and let the passcode on the phones be the same as a matter of trust and simplicity. One thing that Phuc Map is absolutely correct is that foreigners in Vietnam should try to learn Vietnamese. Knowing Vietnamese makes the experience here so much more fun and indeed meaningful. Good luck with your channels!

I was able to speak my wife's language before we were married, so when I went back for the wedding, I was able to speak with the whole family in either English or their dialect, whichever they chose to speak in. It's good that we're able to understand each other, and it's good that they were able to choose which language to use......after all, I am the foreigner. I have met a lot of women from my wife's country, who married guys from my country. Some have said their husbands banned them for speaking in their language at home, or even to cook food from where they came. Very few actually make the effort to learn the language of their wife. Perhaps this just comes down to a husband's need for control, I'm not sure. But, I've been left wondering at times, if they guy doesn't like the food, doesn't like the culture, doesn't like the language, why did he get married to her in the first place? A lot of times at cultural gatherings, et al, they sit in the corner with other like minded countrymen, beers in their hands, and they don't involve themselves with the activities taking place around them. The other issue as well is when you have children. Children are very observant. They can pick up what their fathers think about where their mother comes from by his attitude towards anything related to her culture, language, etc. Imagine growing up and not being exposed in a positive way, to the culture of your mother? This can also affect the way the children interact with their family members back in their mother's homeland as well, and, how the children see themselves as well, since half of who they are, comes from their mother.

Don't know about marriage, but I have very beautiful best friend from Vietnam. I am always willing to learn her culture and language. She feels very much happier to know that I am learning and respecting her culture. She also respect me and my choices and support me in every part of life. She is so good person. She appreciates every little thing I do for her. I don't know about every other vietnamese girl but talking about my best friend, she is really sweet person and I am grateful to have her in my life. Just like from quality of a single grain, you can judge the whole sack. From knowing her, I can say that vietnamese people are really sweet and Friendly.

This is a GREAT interview and questions

I ended up in Vietnam in 1990. When you traveled to any city, you had to surrender your passport at the local police station and they would place a city stamp in it. Most tourist places had a tri-pricing. 1 price for Foreigners, 1 price for Returning Vietnamese and 1 price for local Vietnamese. The one thing that I walked away from my time in Vietnam was how honest, industrious, independent, and overall self-sufficient. I knew this country would do well in the future. I found the women to be at the top compared to all other Asian countries that I lived in.

1990 is not open, acctually that year is a year the country officially stop operate in War mode, every place is no camera, no filming, and foreigners from west are being treated in kind of untrust. But that changed very fast afterward when Clinton lift off the sanction in 1992. 1990 is the year we and china agreed to neutralize the two countries relationship, at 1989 both sides still fire cannon to each other at border 🤣

Thanks for answering those question's and using some of the examples from phuc maps relationship with his wife before marriage and current life with inlaws. Good info!

It is always good to learn other languages and to understand other cultures.

Smart of her to dodge the relationship question. Also smart of her to tease it at the start of the video. It's the same thing japanese idols do. She is cute and no doubt has many thirsty male fans (who are hopefully polite enough to not harass her). Announcing she has a boyfriend could impact her views.

Glad to see another video !

Very well explained. He is so understanding and caring.

I'm impressed by Phuc Map's Vietnamese. Well done. I can appreciate the advice from Phuc Map, "show the soon-to-be wife and her family that you care and your willingness to learn their language and their culture. It will endear you to them."

Love Phuc Map. Dude seems so real.

This is an amazing video. A really great interview to show us some cultural differences. This is actually weird because I was actually searching about this topic on internet a couple of days ago after I read something about you having to ask a girl out in Vietnam 3 times before she accepts. And I'm very happy that I understood some spare Vietnamese words during the conversation hahaha I've found a Vietnamese textbook on the internet that I'm using to learn and there's a girl I've met that helps me a lot with it. She doesn't speak English very well but tries very hard to always answer my questions and even sends me audios to teach me how I should pronounce somethings (which is very cute and nice of her). Loved the video. Keep it up Van!

Solid video!

Really fun video, my wife is from Philippines and lots of the same things apply that u talked about.

This video was so funny and great

Kudos to this guy for learning the language and culture. I live in Indonesia married to an Indonesian woman, and though she speaks my languages, I wouldn't dream of living in the country without being fluent in the language and understanding a fair amount of the culture, society and history. In fact it changed my life. 👍🏼

I went through all of this and it changed my life and my views on so many things.

Hi Van , very interesting topic . When the western meet the East culture which is amazing thing. Because the people learning how to compromise both sides cultures and learn each other. So it depends on the people how to care about both sides. And also that could be a reason to motivate and encourage people learning different cultures in order to build a good relationship in the future. Very meaningful topic..😀
