Do tell over here in comment ..which all cities to visit in vietnam !!! 😀😀😀
It is great to see your dad get so far out of his comfort zone and explore the world. He looks like a little kid at Disneyland 😊 Just goes to show you are never too old to lose your sense of wonder.
i was born in Hoi An and left Vietnam when i was a teen. life is quite peaceful back then. A great thing about Hoi An is that you can enjoy the ocean and river within a biking distance. Hope your dad and you enjoy your stay in HoiAn.

I've been having a question about Hoi An and perhaps you could help: How much of what people are seeing in Hoi An now is genuine, and how much of it is just a semi-amusement park? My mom was born in the north, and spent a number years in Hoi An in the 60's before moving to Saigon. She was pretty surprised when she heard about Hoi An being a tourist attraction because, according to her, it was the sleepiest place she had lived in! Yes, it is a charming old town, but no lanterns, no shops, no tailors, no restaurants...pretty much nothing and no one around by 8pm! I have never been to Hoi An and would like to visit someday, but I'm been asking myself if all the things I've been seeing and hearing about Hoi An are just "made for tourists"? (And being someone who has had coffee 3 times a day since the age of 15, I'm pretty skeptical about that Vietnamese egg coffee, too, but that's for another day :)
We're so happy to have you onboard! Enjoy your travels, Alina 🌏👋🏻

I was in Hoi An for 5 months in 2022 and it’s even better when it’s not the rainy season… although it’s hot. One of the best things to do is ride bikes or motorcycles around the countryside and rice fields. Very beautiful. And there’s also beaches nearby and hotels and cafes at the beach. Hoi An is my favorite place in Vietnam 🇻🇳
What a blessing to experience this with your father, please cherish these moments with your father. Many blessings to you and your family.

Great job Alina I am from Canada too perfectly done in Vietnam.😀😉😆
Beautiful place, thanks for showing us around! The food looked delicious.
Love seeing your dad. He reminds me so much of my father when he was alive and in his prime. Such a kind soul.
I am at work right now, but I am looking forward to watching it when I get home. That's how excited I am watching you in Vietnam.
Pretty impressive tour of Hoi An despite the flooding it had a quaint charm that was very evident. Never been to Vietnam but is on my list of places to go.

Hi Alina! Hoi An is a wonderful well-preserved cultural treasure! As a key Southeast Asian trading port during the 15th to 19th centuries, Hoi An has a rich collection of buildings that display a variety of local and foreign influences. It's also great to see you and your dad enjoying some savory meals together in Vietnam! Awesome place!!! Fantastic food!!!
Great video. Looks like you had an amazing time. We also loved hoi an.
We loved it there!!! It's fun to watch you walk the very same roads, that flooding was something else 😅😳
It is so great to see your dad enjoying this adventure.
Love your dad and amazing that you two are travelling together, I'm on your Cambodia episode now, looking forward to more of Cambodia.
So proud to have a daughter like you taking your dad to this peaceful city. What a beautiful way to live life.
Very interesting! It’s awesome that your dad is there too. I like his reactions.
Thanks Alina for this Amazing video i like it so mush 😊
I love to follow your travel chanel.❤.So informative and authentic.. Very sweet of you to be travelling with your dad and include him in your conversations. Many young people don't do that much...I wished I could travel more with my parents but unfortunately they have passed on...
So nice to travel with the Dad. Hoi An is so nice, I like to taste Banh Mi (Vietnamese bread) there. Thank you so much for making film of it! Best wishes to you and your Dad!
Thank you for introducing my native country to people around the world. I am one of your fans who support you. I hope one day I can be digital nomad like you.
Hello Alina, I also experienced heavy rain in Hoi An. Glad to see, You also had a day without rain to enjoy. On my trip, I also had a day with better weather. The video brings be right in the middle of Hoi An again. The idea of a health insurance based on a credit card is very good.. Best regards, Ralf
Another great vid! Thx Alina!
I watched this clip and I felt very warm that you took your father on a trip and I hope you will have the opportunity to continue your visit to Bangkok, my country :)
Nice Vidio. Thanks Alina and Dad..we loving from Indonesia 🥰
cool old town Alina, have a nice lunch with your father and hope you both are always healthy. I just found your video again and greetings from Indonesia, keep it up 👈👍👍👍
Great to see your dad enjoying this adventure with you. You can tell he's a Saskatchewan farmer when his response to a question about the flooding is that it's nice to see some moisture! (I could totally hear my dad saying something similar.) Thanks for this glimpse of Hoi An.
One thing that would be a great experience is attending a wedding and reception in Vietnam. I have been to two in Canada and the women (if I remember correctly) change their dresses 5 times from beginning to end. Love your videos, keep them coming.
it is the first time i see this channel but it is fantastic, congrats Alina Mcleod

Great travel video of Hoi An! VN Ice coffee has condensed milk so it’s sweet.Egg coffee is also available ( more popular in Hà Noi). Tip for crossing busy streets in big cities : crossing together with group of 3-4 people so you are more visible. Also raise your hand up and....run fast. Enjoy the rest of vn trip with your dad .

Beautiful video! I just went and it was flooded! I made a video about my experience, thank you for the information!
Hi Alina, I like ur natural blend with your Dad and the ease - while exploring HoiAn, it seems an eating daytout, i appreciate the fact of ur exploration even though it was flooded. On my VN tour i will visit HoiAn. Thoroughly enjoying ur videos, cheers and keep it up☄
Vietnam in your beautiful eyes .
I travel to Hong Kong with my parents once, it was their first time travelling abroad. I actually had a better time travelling with them than my friend. They enjoyed every restaurants, every attraction I take them to. I want to do it again maybe next year
I think you are one of the best tourist guide ❤

Beautiful peaceful place and nice video, let's keep exploring and share. Good luck wishes to you and your father. 🌻🌻
Quality time with your dad. I love it!
We have alot of Viets living here Most have small businesses or shrimp boats, but some are welders in shipyards I met one that shot in the leg as a member of the ARVN during the fall of Saigon in 1975. He was lucky enough to be evacuated to the US fleet just offshore. I met another one who grew up in the communist north and came of age just in time to be conscripted and fight against the Chinese in 1978, after the Hanoi government invaded Cambodia and deposed Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge while the Chinese president was visiting Jimmy Carter, the Chinese retaliated by invading North Vietnam. It was a bloodbath The guy escaped with the Boat People in the early 80s. 👍😊🇺🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦

We were there 10 years ago and made a point of renting bicycles and getting out of the main tourist area. There are many rural roads that aren't busy and it was fun to simply explore the local area. Some of the local beaches were also accessible by bicycle and it was interesting to see the round boats the local fishermen used. Quite unusual. Perhaps the timelines have changed on the local clothes making but I'm pretty sure my wife had something made in only a few days. Keep up the great work. You and your dad do Saskatchewan and Canada proud!

It's been 3 years since I watched your last video (pre Covid), I have to say now you look rather different (🤭 thanks to the delicious foods you encountered in your travels, I assume). I went to Hoi An in 2006 and back then things were quite different too, e.g., only the west-bank of the River Thu-bon was populated, the other side was mostly rural. Back then no entry fee was charged to enter the town centre, and shops/restaurants were less crowded as they are today. This time your mum is not travelling with you guys, I guess there must be a reason for it. Have a wonderful journey, though. All the best.
such a great trip with your dad......great memories

It's awesome take your father to Hoi An....thumbs up!
hi Alina you earned a new subs from me good to see some views and information about that place you visit in there what a nice place to visit and relax. 1st time I saw a vlog team up between a daughter and father nice tandem seems your pop enjoy what you are doing favorite word your dad is "awesome" (lmao), it sums up the beauty he see and enjoy. By the way can you share what music title you used in this vlog they were so cool and sweet to hear specially when you have ear pods music is so soothing to my ear.. hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.
Take care always my love, God blssd and your family, peace be with you 🙏❤

When you get noodle bowls like cau lau in Vietnam, stir it up before eating or it won't be flavorful as the sauce is at the bottom of the bowl. Some noodle bowls like bun thit nuong may come with it's own fish sauce on the side for you to dump into your bowl before stirring and eating (the central version may already come sauced). The rice dish may also come with it's own sauce. Please always ask the vendor or locals how to eat it so you can get the proper taste because if you don't know how to eat Vietnamese food properly, it can appear bland only because you may have done it wrong.
