Always great to watch VN content like this because there is too much generic stuff on VN here these days. For example there are like 100 vlogs on the best Pho in Vietnam, 10 best places to visit, best Banh Mi etc etc. These old videos are little gems. Thanks a lot. Please keep your stories coming.

In 1993, with out smartphone, people so close to each other, & so elegant with a book on hand, surprisingly your Vietnamese at the end of clip so good!

I came in 98 the first time. This brought back memories of Saigon. Back then it felt like a village and the roads didn't have the traffic they have now a days apart from when all the workers were coming home at 5pm.

OMG this old footage is such gold mine

That was a joy to watch! Very interesting to see the contrasting footage and to hear your perspective of the changes over the past three decades.

Oh Mark... I first arrived in Saigon in 1993 to work. Your old footage brought back a lot of great memories. This was emotional. I just love Vietnam and I keep going back... Keep doing what you do! I am a big fan.

Fantastic video! Almost brought tears to my eyes seeing the old footages of Vietnam. I left as a 13 year old kid in 1991 and still can't get Vietnam out of my mind everyday.

What a beautiful video, bringing back so many fond memories of my first trip to Vietnam in 1991 - and many since. You have a special way of showing your love for the country and its people.

What a beautiful video. Such a fascinating country

I am so glad that I haved clicked this video and watched it. Amazing to see how VIETNAM has changed since it reopened its doors to the world. Watching your documentary video of Vietnam in 1993 makes me so emotional as many of my childhood memories just all of sudden come back. Thank you for sharing your experiences. 👍

I first visited Viet Nam in 2000 and totally fell in love with the country, the food, the culture and the people. I've spoken to a friend who was in-country in 1970 and the stories and photos from Vung Tau in 2000 that I shared with him were more familiar to him than Vung Tau was to me in 2010. The pace of change has been staggering! Another interesting video with some great insights. Thank you for sharing the old footage and stories. Brings back great memories...Safe travels!

I was probably one of those biking on the streets of Saint Gon in 1993! I was in my college years back then, and of course, most of us still rode a bicycle to school. Lovely footage and nostalgic too. Thank you!

Great video, like watching a documentary. Bring back so much memories 30 years ago

Lovely place !!

What a wonderful video Mark. Thanks for posting it 😊

Really incredible video with truly priceless footage, thank you so much for your content!

I've always enjoyed your videos. Beautifully done. ❤️ Thank you.

Lovely video, Mark.

Amazing video! 😊

Bạn nói tiếng Việt nghe rất rõ, rất hay ! 👍

Một video thật công phu, kỳ công. 30 năm, quá nhiều thay đổi. Tôi thích cuộc sồng 30 năm trước đây hơn tuy nhiên kinh tế thay đổi, đời sống nhân dân cũng đã tốt hơn. Nhà nước cũng quan tâm gìn giữ những danh lam thắng cảnh hơn so với khoảng 15 năm trước đây.. Tôi hy vọng có ngày nào đó sẽ đi tour Son Doong và Trường Sa.

Video tuyệt vời, cảm ơn ông rất nhiều.

Video hay quá chú ơi!

Thanks

Awesome thanks mate

I like your approach, like what you make of opportunity. Have you spent much time in India?

long time no see

Hay quá.

cool!

Marc you have to understand you are a very special and unique tourist! You speak nearly fluent Vietnamese and have read extensively about its wars, history and culture. No tourist is that accomplished! 7:41
