Travel Vietnam should try Vietnam food not Chinese food tho😅😅

What they give you should not be noodles. I have never seen that kind of noodles in my life. There must be a big misunderstanding! The word you asked is 「豪仕坊/ Hao Shi Fang」, 「豪仕/Hao Shi」 is the name of the street, and 「坊/Fang」is an ancient alley! (In fact these two words can be interpreted separately: "豪/Hao" is a hero, "仕/Shi" is a litterateur.) Inside that alley is a community, and and it is also the best-preserved century-old building. Great job, thanks a lot for sharing！👍😄👏

That was a worry not having your internet, you handled it very well though. Lucky you met that young chap who spoke English and he helped you. I enjoyed the video Ken. I think those chickens had one leg tied to the grate they were sitting on.

Great and interesting content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it once again. Thanks Ken. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

Xin Cao and good evening Ken and all. Going to enjoy another interesting adventure in a Chinatown... let's gooooo !!!

Yeah, Chinese herbal tea helps to reduce "heatiness" from the body. One can easily find this type of tea in a Chinatown. Aah, those "noodles" look more like cripsy pancakes. l could hear the crunchy sound when you bite it 😂 Wow, that's a lovely alleyway and the buildings upstair are well -preserved... picturesque indeed. Love that pinkish purplish sky. Very kind of that young man to offer his helping hand and he speaks good English. Yeah, internet plays a very important part in this modern era. Another interesting video which is always entertaining to watch. Thanks Ken. Have a glorious weekend.

Interesting Vlogg Ken. Enjoyed it.

I always enjoy your videos and was scared for you a minute there but so happy you found that vendor who was your god send! Since I don’t travel you go to all the places I want to see without leaving my safe haven. Thank you❣️

Awesome video ❤❤❤

The lane is called Hao Shi Fang in mandarin. Apparently it was built in 1909. You have inadvertently discovered a gem in Chinatown. I found it such interesting architectural design for community living, similar concept to long houses in Sarawak.

For most Chinatowns around the world, "Chinatown" is a kinder designation for what actually is a (Chinese) ghetto. As been mentioned elsewhere, Cho Lon never was/is a Chinese ghetto, it was practically one half of former Saigon, the other half contained the French quarter, the civic quarter and so on. The Chinese were a major part of the city economic life pre 1975. Most of the land in Saigon (and Cho Lon) then belonged to a Chinese tycoon who started his business career as a junk collector, Uncle (Chu) Hoa. The deed of my parents house in Cho Lon had his signature/stamp as the seller. At the end of the war his family migrated to France, leaving behind their private villa which now houses Saigon's Fine Arts Museum, a few steps from Ben Thanh Market. An architectural gem, French-designed and built no less. If you want to see "fusion," East meets West, etc. look no further. FYI, "Cho Lon" literally means the big market, in comparison to the still existing Ben Thanh. Soon after the Binh Tay Market, still standing, superceded Cho Lon as the New Big Market aka "Cho Lon Moi." The original Cho Lon had ceased to exist even in my (growing up) era. Last but not least, So Vietnam had it all: corruption, repression, etc. but it also had class, style and most of all a soul. All that was wiped out when the Vietcongs came to town in 1975, these guys were hell bent to annihilate life as the So Vietnamese had known until then, to the point of having to chose whether death at the bottom of the ocean (re boat people,) or life (for the vanquished) under communism. The Vietcongs called this plan "re-unification," and most of the free world fell for this false notion. Uncle Ho was applauded for what he really was, a mini-Mao.

OMG. You are so brave. I could never explore like you did like that. I am just too nervous.

Hello ken how are you, have a nice time in Saigon and be safe🙏

Vietnam..... Ho Chi Minh.... The traffic can be so mental....... 15:04 Cantonese songs? Yup, pretty much a settlement area of Chinese origin, least supporting the local whenever you go... Well, we need to get lost somewhere every now and then.....so we are to able to explore new stuff .... As always, thanks for sharing .... Stay safe and take care mate...Cheers!!

I'm visiting the Philippines soon. I wish I could have made it when Ken was there. He seems like such a cool guy to hang out with

You are a very nice fella and I am enjoying your videos.

Yeah we find that as well that most action cameras work terrible in low light. Vietnam is such a beautiful and exciting place.

Great adventure ✅️

So true crossing the road is a mission in itself in Vietnam

I remember before we had internet navigation. It was so easy for me, even as a kid, to make it home or wherever I was going. Asking for directions wasn't a hassle. Funny how we've changed as a people. I'd feel the same way Ken does if I were in the same situation as him

Chinatown in Vietnam is different than other countries because it is the largest Chinatown in the world, it has a long history and it's very wide, spanning many districts, in the past it was a city of its own, not just a small area, from time to time people just keep it as it is. Meanwhile other countries, Chinatown is more stereotype since they make it more commercial, compacted and over-decorate it with Chinese things. That makes Chinatown in Saigon looking not as cool and appealing but it's definitely more real and authentic. Nice video as always 🥰

​@@spectraeducationconsultanc1365 That's right but actually this shouldn't be even called Chinatown, I think someone in comment already mentions. As I say it is very large and in the past it was a city of Cho Lon, so it's technically something bigger than a town. No Vietnamese consider this place a Chinatown, they just call it Cho Lon as a region.

Ken, you are going 200K bro.😊

Wifi is everywhere in Saigon, so if mobile data fails, it will not be a problem. The guy has met Germans before for recognising your accent :)

thanks

Did you get a chance to meet Grandma? That was a beautiful ceremony

Its really hard for a country that doesn't speak english much.. its so hard to asked..

Same happened to me there. Got lost no internet but had hotel address and a random man took me there on his bike. Go explore the alleyways it's crazy 😂

The ducks and chickens in VN don't need to be drugged to get quiet . They are so used to the noise and chaotic traffic here . Only Western newcomers get nervous when they walk in Vietnam's streets Ha Ha ... FYI the Saigon's Chinatown (Cho Lon = Big Market in Vietnamese ) is much bigger than the one in Bangkok and KL . It is formed by 5 districts ( D5 , D6, D8 , D10 and D11) . You were just in one district so why you didn't see any Chinese temples , assembly halls , big restaurants and shopping centers . The restaurant you went to is actually a vegan one . By its name An Duyen ( a Buddhist word which means Good Karma or Good Predestiny) I can already guess that is a Buddhist Vegan restaurant . Glad to know that you are still in VN . So your visa issue is currently solved right ?

Does you brain ever get confused for all the impression and the things you see in east asia?

You are brave 🥹

👏👍🇧🇷

It's good you lost your inter-net for a while it will heighten your awareness. When I first went to Asia there were no smart phones so you had to improvise and read paper maps. Now without the internet we feel naked=vulnerable = How did you feel? OBTW: I don't think they drugged the chickens, chickens seem to get use to their enviroment quite quickly

Are you going to head North to Hanoi Ken? You will find it very different to Saigon and I think even more interesting.

Just wanted to let you know that the Chinese Vietnamese are very rich. That place is call Cho Lon in Vietnamese.

Do you remember the sim card you purchased .......So others won’t suffer the same misfortune.

Most of south east asian cities majority population are made of chinese. So basically the entire cities are chinatown. Native south east asian are basically rural dwellers.
