He has a good video of him interviewing/chatting with his dad on the channel that is worth a watch if you haven't seen it. I think Joey's dad would be a great dude to have a pile of beer with! Lol

That guy with the table across from you guys' at the cafe was a real MVP. You can see him motioning and talking to the cafe staff concerned you guys weren't mixing your egg coffees before drinking it which was why the staff came up to you and told you what you were supposed to do.

As a Vietnamese fan, i'm glad Joey was enjoying the traveling experience in Vietnam. Btw, just a small correction only, Hanoi is Vietnam's Capital city, while Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's major economic center, which is why most people mistook HCMC for the capital. Hehe anyway, thank you for showing us your trip. Hope someday you will be back in Vietnam for more experience. I would recommend trying Vietnamese authentic street foods, they are delicious!

Joey learned fast: In most of Southeast Asia, the higher up you go, the less humid it becomes (with some exceptions for coastal areas, or anywhere near large bodies of water); this is usually why people escape the hot weather by either going up the hills, or vacationing by the ocean. Japan is further up above the equator, and thus would usually be cooler and drier. Joey and his family hit all the great spots and took joy not only in the scenery and the food, but also getting to know the people they met in their travels. I think that makes for a perfect tourist experience.

I live in Vietnam currently, (native New Yorker) and watching this felt like a trip down memory lane. The first time I went to Vietnam I went to most of the same places that you went to (Sa Pa, Hạ Long bay, Hội An, Marble Mountain, District 1...). The first wide shot of Hanoi that you took in this video was from a venue that I went to last week! Glad you had a great time here! I've been living here for 5 years and it's been a cathartic experience for sure.

Vietnam looks absolutely beautiful. BTW, a good way to remember the difference between stalactites and stalagmites is stalactites have to hold tight to the ceiling or they'll fall, and if a stalagmite grows tall enough it might reach the ceiling.

You're always welcome back to Vietnam and show case what Vietnam is really about!! Sending our Vietnamese love to you ❤❤

I went to Vietnam last year as part of a group tour and it was an amazing experience. It was so much fun to see each new place Joey visited and to be like “hah! I was there!” The food was great, the history was super interesting and insightful, the architecture was amazing. The only downside was the heat and humidity but you have to expect that in South East Asia. But anyway, I could live of Bahn Mi for the rest of my life.

Thanks for vlogging your Vietnam trip! Wow this makes me want to go to Vietnam myself. Im Viet-American and my mom immigrated to the US right after the Vietnam War so she doesn’t have many good things to say about her homeland sadly. But I feel like her view is skewed and that Vietnam’s changed a lot by now. It looks so beautiful!! Wow!

I’m so glad that Joey visited Vietnam. As a Vietnamese, it is so awesome seeing his reaction to our culture, foods, cities and places. Hope he will come back again someday.

the viet cong were so innovative, some of the best to ever do it. truly a testament to lengths people can go when motivated by a just struggle for liberation.

Im a Vietnamese and been living abroad for 3 years now. Seeing ur vlog makes me miss Vietnam so much. Btw Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, not HCM city although HCM city is bigger than Hanoi. Nice vlog nevertheless

Some fun fact about every place Joey when by in Việt Nam: - Hà Nội is one of the oldest city in Việt Nam and had being the capital since the 1010 (yes). - Bus trip in Việt Nam mostly have a half way break every tip, mostly for the driver because maybe it were their only break time for them, plus car license test is expense and most of bus trip driver is 100% do have license from military duty. The rest area is mostly made from the local though - Sa Pa is the only place in Việt Nam able to have snow in the winter, it not as beauty as you would think. Sa Pa is a small province, it was never been a tourism place before because it was mostly small villages of Vietnamese ethnic live. But since the weather was so great that they open the tourism from it. - Hạ Long bay is an UNESCO World Heritage and the second one in Việt Nam, the name meaning is "descending dragon". - Hội An is also an UNESCO and the third one. The town official name if "Ancient Town Hội An", although have been keep the look since the 16th-17th century and way before that more. - Hồ Chí Minh city is maybe not an ideal place for tourism but since this is the biggest city and not the capital, they have a lot mark of modern history in Việt Nam and you mostly know it was the Vietnam War (we called it American War though). The France influence in Việt Nam also made this city having more better environment than the North cities. Those are reason made this city a second best place to go in Việt Nam, Hội An is the best after all - The Củ Chi tunnel was dig bigger for tourism, imagine it was smaller and darker and so fricking deep in the war. Still can't imagine how the veteran made that.

I LOVE Joey's vlogging style. It's simple, nothing crazy, well edited, plenty of his own thoughts, and I feel like this side of Joey has always been the same. Always been really down to Earth with his vlogs, and I like that a lot. No need to try hard here! I hope you loved Vietnam, Joey, it looks like an awesome place, rich with culture and history. My only experience is with the absolutely DELICIOUS food. Highly recommend Vietnamese food. Food is the gateway to the soul. Edit: Oh my god... Vietnam is BEAUTIFUL.

Feels somewhat surreal seeing Joey walking the places I've been to before, it's nostalgic. Part of me wished I was outside during his stay so I might get to meet him lol.

I'm from Vietnam, been watching Joey for a while now but for some reason, I never expected him to visit Vietnam. Me and my family are going to Hanoi pretty soon for a 5 days trip and watching this gave me a bit of insight on what to expect. A bit disappointed that my hometown (Da Nang) didn’t get much screen time though but it’s still a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

Happy Birthday to your mom! Never knew how much beautiful scenery there was in Vietnam. Lots of interesting history too. Looks like it would be a very interesting country to visit.

I feel like the crusader in Indiana jones at the moment by saying "You have chosen wisely" to pick being with family over anime expo. lol. I am so glad you were able to go and have a amazing time with them. There are times I wish I had spent more time with one part of my family before we moved and I do regret not being able to. (I was really little though so I thought I had all the time in the world then)

Animom telling the buffalo “good job!” On their hike is so cuteeee

I'm surprised that you came to our country for a trip. Hope your family and yourself enjoyed the trip in our country. Thanks for coming on behalf of all of your fellow viewers from Vietnam

1 hour of Joey travelling? What an unexpected treat!

The caves at the bay was probably my favorite part. The war historic place was a very harsh reminder of how bad war is. I think people often forget that in times of peace. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I personally always wanted to travel the Greek isles. Love me some Greek mythology and taking a cruise in the Aegean Sea would be a dream come true. Probably why I loved the caves the most in this video. So spiritual and mythical. They also somewhat reminded me of the temples in Final Fantasy X.

a little correction on the video, ha noi is actually the capitol of vietnam, and hcm city is the most populated city in vietnam. thanks for visiting vietnam, hope you had a great trip and i enjoyed this video very much!

You’ve already been to quite an amount of countries now, it’s nice to see you’re having fun :)

I went to Vietnam this year for the first as well, it was quite shocking sometimes but it really put things in perspective. I'm editing all my Vietnam videos right now, and I look back on it very fondly!

Opening scene..."we're not going to do anything illegal...on camera." Love your trip videos!

That's so crazy! I also went to VN for 2 weeks for the first time, in between June and July and my family and I did the same thing where we went all the way up North and then back down South! I wish I got to spend more time in Ho Chi Minh City. We did so much hiking and got to see the Angel's Eye Mountain as well as the waterfall. As a Vietnamese viewer, I'm so glad to see more people posting their visit to Vietnam!

Welcome to Vietnam, Joey! I am glad that you have visited our country. Sorry for any inconvenience that may occur during your trip but I hope that you really enjoyed your time spent here.

Love this video. I’m actually planning to go to Vietnam in the next 2-3 years so I’ll be sure to rewatch this once I know I’m going for ideas. As far as where you should go, I went to Taiwan years ago and loved it. Wonderful place. If you’re looking for some place further away, Malta is a small island in the Mediterranean and one of my favorite places on earth

Joey your travel vlogs are beautiful! I love that you show a genuine appreciation and respect for the places you visit! Thank you for sharing your experience and thank your beautiful family for letting us tag-along!

Vietnam is a fantastic place to travel. That sapa hike was super nostalgic, especially the mud slopes and buffalo

19:27 I climbed up that same mountain when I visited Ha Long Bay back in early 2020. Lots of steps to get up, but the view was amazing. And as Joey mentioned, it felt more dangerous going down. Not only was the incline steep, but the steps were not very wide, either. Cool to see Joey visit a lot of the places I went to when I visited. Missed out on Sa Pa, though, so that's on my list when I go back in the future.

All i ever saw was the hustlin and bustlin of the cities of vietnam. I didnt expect those views outside of the city. Its beautiful and kinda evokes a feeling of wanderlust in me. Great Vlog! 😊

Nice one Sir, you have captured the re-watch trifecta: The atmosphere, Mood, Immersion (i just made that up), Can watch this over and over. Good work :D

I've been super craving going cave exploring the last few weeks so seeing at the incredible caves you got to visit (the tunnels were amazing as well) has me hyped even more to find somewhere!

your mom is having an awesome birthday, I would like to visit Vietnam too someday.

the bunker is claustrophobia nightmare fuel. it's like it kept going on and on and on and there's no end in sight. but this was a lovely vlog! Thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the video. except for the bunker snippet. Your family seems like fun people to hang out with too! may I know if you've traveled to Cambodia? there are a lot of places there that feel mystical too.

Good shit, i rarely enjoy these typa vlogs but this one was quite enjoyable

Thank you for sharing our country's natural beauty with international friends. Viet Nam always opens arms to welcome foreigners. There are a lot of gorgeous places waiting for all of you guys.

about those tunnels, back then the us soldiers had to clear those tunnels with nothing but a flashlight and a M1911 pistol. they were nicknamed "tunnel rats". those boobytraps you saw were also placed in those tunnels knowing that in case they get discovered they would fall in them in the darkness of those tunnels

Officially my fav videos of yours, these are so legit and freaky

As a Vietnamese viewer (of your anime channel though), I can't believe you reached Sapa but didn't go to the Fansipan! The view and humidity up there is insane, definitely worth an experience (be prepared though)
