“In the south it's always more dynamic. Everyone is just moving around all the time. In the north, it's slower. People are a bit meaner.” - Viet AnhFor nearly ten years now, I've called Vietnam home, and while I've experienced the incredible energy and warmth of the south, Viet Anh's perspective on the north offered a viewpoint I hadn't fully considered. It's fascinating how regional differences can shape the experience of living in the same country.We touched on the sometimes-surprising toxicity that can bubble up online, both within expat communities and among Vietnamese internet users. It's a stark contrast to the welcoming spirit I've largely encountered here. We also reflected on how things change over time – from cinema etiquette to the increasing polarization of opinions, it feels like the Vietnam I first encountered is constantly evolving.Key Takeaways:- There are perceived significant differences in pace and demeanor between the north and south of Vietnam.- Online toxicity is a notable issue within expat and Vietnamese online communities.- Cultural norms and perspectives are constantly evolving in Vietnam.- Stereotypes about foreigners in Vietnam, particularly English teachers, exist and need to be addressed.- The economic contribution of foreigners in Vietnam is often misunderstood, with many filling roles that locals don't typically pursue.Chapters and Timestamps:05:59: Discussion on Online Toxicity 10:59: Changing Perspectives and Behaviors Over Time 14:59: Stereotypes of Foreigners in Vietnam 24:00: Economic Contributions of Foreign Workers "Send me a message!"The Podcast Launch LabThe Podcast Makeover Try Descript for free here!Support the show
"So those bastards bumped the bridge down so that nobody could use it, and the locals got pissed off at that 'cause they enjoyed having a bridge. So they rebuilt it."This trip was one of the most fun and immersive ones we've recorded so far. Pai has this laid-back charm and unexpected beauty that really took us by surprise.Adrie and I take you along as we explore some of Pai's must-see spots — and wow, what a day. We started with the National Park Hot Springs, where the water gets hot enough to boil eggs (or a human, seriously). Then we checked out the WWII Memorial Bridge (Nara Bridge), which has a surprisingly cool history behind it. After that, we made our way across the Bamboo Bridge, a nearly 1-kilometer-long structure built for the ‘Gram, complete with swings, hearts, and even a ladder to nowhere. Finally, we wrapped things up at the breathtaking — and slightly terrifying — Pai Canyon for sunset. It was beautiful, hilarious, a bit slippery, and definitely memorable. If you're heading to Pai or just want to know what it's really like, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysPai Hot Springs are natural and beautiful, but can be dangerous — always check temperatures and wear grippy shoes.Respect local customs — the hot springs are used by locals, so be clean and mindful (no peeing, no weed, no booze!).Tha Pai Memorial Bridge has a rich WWII history — rebuilt multiple times and now a perfect selfie stop.Bamboo Bridge is a modern tourist gem, filled with photo ops — hearts, swings, and “ladder to nowhere” included.Pai Canyon offers stunning views, but be prepared for narrow paths, sheer drops, and zero handrails — not for the faint-hearted.Chapters & Timestamps[00:02:00] Cultural Tips + Slippery Rocks Lo"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

"I think the Scottish accent's been voted one of the sexiest, but it's also, some of them, one of the most disgusting" - CraigThis bonus episode was a hilarious trip down memory lane. Craig and I just let loose with our Scottish accents, sharing stories about growing up in Glasgow that we've never really talked about on the main show. The cultural differences, the misunderstandings with Americans, and the unique character of Glasgow compared to the rest of Scotland - it all came pouring out in our natural voices. I think listeners will get a real kick out of hearing us in our element, not holding back on the Scottish slang and experiences that shaped us before we moved abroad. It's raw, it's authentic, and it's Glasgow through and through.What's fascinating is how our identities are still so tied to Scotland even though we've both been away for decades. The way we slip in and out of our accents, the experiences that only make sense to other Scots - it's like carrying a piece of home with you that never quite fades, even when you have no plans to move back. This episode really captures that weird space of being proudly Scottish while also acknowledging why we chose to build our lives elsewhere.Key Takeaways: - The difficulties of being understood with a Scottish accent in America and how Niall had to adapt his speech to be understood- How Americans have particular difficulty understanding Scottish accents, especially with words like "bottle of water" - Discussion of Scottish comedy (Kevin Bridges, Still Game) and how specific cultural references don't translat"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

In this special extra episode of A Vietnam Podcast, I take you through a day filled with various adventures. Starting with a cold sunrise bike ride where the stunning beauty of the dawn was well worth the early wake-up. Then, I recount our challenging yet exhilarating hike to a waterfall, where we navigated through icy waters and tricky paths. Along the way, I share some interesting local quirks, such as the abundance of weed shops and Friday laundry closures. We opted to skip a wild tubing event due to our 'mature' age and instead enjoyed a fun, albeit slightly murky, poolside hangout. Join us on this journey and get a glimpse of the highs and lows of our travels.00:00 Introduction to the Extra Episode00:26 Exploring the Pool and Surroundings01:07 Sunrise Adventure03:54 Waterfall Hike Challenges08:14 Poolside Relaxation and Tipsy Tubing09:48 Sunset Bar and Local Discoveries11:36 Reflections on Pai13:46 Conclusion and Next Episode Teaser"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

"I planned to do six months. I planned to do like Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, that kind of bit of Southeast Asia and never left Vietnam.... It's so unlike any other place I've ever been." - Craig HaggartThis episode was a long time coming, and it was more than worth the wait. I've been trying to get Craig on the show for over six months, and sitting down with someone who not only shares my hometown but also so many formative experiences was something truly special. As two Glaswegians in Saigon, the nostalgia and humor flowed naturally—and maybe a bit too much football chat!What struck me most was Craig's vulnerability and openness. From his journey as a gay man in Glasgow to finding community in Vietnam, and navigating love, culture, and identity—he told it all with humility and a cracking sense of humor. I know listeners will take something valuable from this episode, whether it's a laugh, a moment of reflection, or simply a reminder of how far we can come when we step into the unknown.Key Takeaways: The chaotic beauty of Vietnam – “It's so unlike any other place… the smells, the lights, the busyness—it's sensory overload.”Coming out in Glasgow at 14 – Craig candidly shares what it was like to come out young and navigate high school as a gay teen.Vietnamese culture and family acceptance – Insight into being part of a liberal Vietnamese family and his relationship with his Northern-born boyfriend.Scottish identity and sectarianism abroad – A raw discussion on how football-related sectarianism follows Scots globally, and how i"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

"My mouth is on fire. My tongue is totally burned, but I want another one… 'cause it's so good."This episode was such a wild mix of adventure, confusion, and food. It's one of those travel days where you don't really know what's going to happen next, and I loved every second of it.From riding a half-broken bike through the hills of Northern Thailand to accidentally sitting in duck poo and stumbling upon a garden full of phallic statues, this day had it all. Pai totally surprised me—it was way more lively and international than I expected, and the street food scene was on another level.This episode is all about leaning into the chaos of travel, trying weird and wonderful things, and laughing along the way.Key Talking Points:The wild road trip from Chiang Mai to Pai – 762 turns and a lemon of a bike.The Erotic Garden – a totally unexpected and hilarious stop filled with art, innuendo, and surprise wisdom.Hopping on a bike - Riding experience in Thailand was different from that of VietnamEating everything – from gyoza and halal dumplings to coconut pancakes, and even lasagna made with macaroni.First impressions of Pai – hippie vibes, Gen Z fashion, TikTok-famous “banh mi,” and a whole lot of fun.Chapters and Timestamps01:30 – First stop: a totally unexpected Erotic Garden06:00 – Waterfalls, steep hills, and a near-death motorbike experience17:30 – Finally in Pai: weird fashion, hippie energy, and international food22:00 – The wild night market: Gen Z, food, and weed shops26:00 – More food: stuffed peppers, halal dumplings, and fake banh mi32:00 – A lasagna bar in Thailand (yes, really)34:30 – Pesto's not the best, but the spinach-mac combo hits the spot"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!Support the show

“I can always return and do the same thing here, but I need to go somewhere and experience a different culture.”This episode with Alenka Moze was a beautiful journey across cultures, creativity, and finding purpose. Alenka is a Slovenian actor, singer, writer, and teacher who has made Vietnam her home. Her story is one of courage, reinvention, and following your artistic calling—even when it means starting over in a completely new country.We talked about everything from her first impressions of Vietnam's wild traffic and intense heat, to her love of summer rolls and morning glory. But more than that, we dug into deeper themes—what it means to live in alignment with your passions, the healing power of the arts, and how community theater and emerging vertical films are creating space for creativity in Vietnam.If you're curious about the arts scene in Vietnam, how expats are contributing to creative communities, or just want an inspiring story of someone who's bravely followed her heart—you'll love this one.Key TakeawaysDiscussion about the small Slovenian community in Vietnam and their interactions.Alenka's transition from teaching in Slovenia to pursuing a career in the arts in Vietnam.Reflections on the differing perspectives on the Vietnam War between Slovenians, Americans, and Vietnamese.Alenka's first impressions of Vietnam, including the traffic, heat, and cultural adjustments.The challenges and opportunities of producing English language plays in Vietnam.Chapters and Timestamps00:03:22 - Slovenian"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

"Don't get too mad at strangers touching your small children. Wait, wait, wait. Are you gonna clarify touching before we go any further."Along with my guests Krista, James, and Paul, share a fun and insightful discussion on the dos and don'ts for tourists in Vietnam. We delve into local customs, highlight necessary behavioral adjustments for foreigners, and provide practical advice on navigating traffic and avoiding common scams. We also humorously discuss scenarios like crossing the roads, experiencing Vietnamese weddings, and unique cultural interactions such as strangers displaying affection towards children. Covering various aspects of Vietnamese cultural norms and practical tips, we aim to ensure tourists have a safe and respectful experience in the country.02:14 Crossing the Road in Vietnam05:10 Avoiding Bui Vien Street08:34 Taxi Scams and Tips13:10 Handling Money and Scams15:49 Vietnamese Weddings and Drinking Culture20:34 Haggling in Vietnam: Myths and Realities35:36 Tourist Tips: Safety and Common Pitfalls"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

"Gen Z in Vietnam are so driven. They're baristas in the morning, creators by night, and students in between." - Adele DoanThis conversation with Adele Doan was full of energy, insight, and plenty of laughs. Adele's a TEDx speaker, community builder at Workflow, founder of Career Lab, and LinkedIn influencer with over 80,000 followers—and it's clear she's leading the charge in how young Vietnamese people think about work, social media, and identity.We talked about everything from learning English through How I Met Your Mother, to why Facebook is too noisy for professionals, and how Gen Z in Vietnam are hustling in new, creative ways. She also opened up about the evolution of Saigon—what's changed, what hasn't, and what still needs to happen, especially in terms of art, culture, and public spaces. Adele's mission is all about using social media with intention and building meaningful careers, and this episode is packed with stories and ideas to inspire anyone navigating the future of work in Vietnam.Key TakeawaysLinkedIn is still an untapped opportunity in Vietnam – and Adele's helping Gen Z unlock it. English and confidence can come from unconventional places—even sitcoms. Gen Z are balancing school, work, and content creation with incredible drive. Facebook is cluttered—LinkedIn is where career-focused conversations are happening.Saigon is growing fast—but still lacks creative spaces, museums, and arts infrastructure.

“ Drag, I think, is also just a form of art that it doesn't really require you to have any experience in art.” - Gia NguyenGia's story is one of resilience, self-expression, and community-building, and I think that really shines through in our discussion. It was insightful, energetic, and, most importantly, a conversation that truly needed to be had. We talked about everything from craft beer to drag culture in Vietnam, and Gia's perspective on how the country is evolving was fascinating.What really struck me was how accepting Vietnam is of the LGBTQ+ community, especially compared to some other countries. Gia shared that while there are still challenges, the overall cultural attitude is one of curiosity rather than judgment. It's refreshing to hear that queer people can express themselves openly without fear of widespread discrimination. This is one of the reasons I love Vietnam so much – the people here may be conservative in some ways, but they also have a deep-rooted respect for others living their truths.Gia's journey into drag was another highlight for me. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision that led to years of performances, community organizing, and the creation of Peach, a space where people of all identities can express themselves. That level of passion and commitment to representation is something that truly deserves recognition.Niall MackayKey Takeaways:- LGBTQ+ acceptance in Vietnam is deeply rooted in traditional religious practices- Vietnamese society tends to be curious rather than judgmental about LGBTQ+ expression|"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

“We are up at the crack of dawn. It's so early in the morning that the fish are still asleep.” This video captures our early morning adventure in Da Lat, filled with various activities and hidden gems. Our day begins at dawn and involves cloud hunting—a unique activity of watching clouds roll over the hills. We drive through town, witnessing the quiet before the city awakens and humorously comparing it to nightlife in other regions. Our strawberry picking plans hit a snag as we realize it's off-season, leading us to buy strawberries from a roadside vendor instead. The adventure continues with a visit to a local chocolate factory offering a tasting session, highlighting hidden gem number eight. We also explore the Maize Bar, a labyrinthine establishment inspired by the Crazy House, culminating in spectacular views over the rolling hills of Da Lat. Alongside these activities, we savor local dishes such as Vietnamese pizza (Banh Trang Nuong) and Da Lat pancakes with quail eggs. This episode encapsulates the diverse attractions and culinary experiences that make Da Lat a fascinating destination.00:00 Early Morning Adventures01:33 Cloud Hunting Excitement04:10 Exploring Hidden Gems10:15 Breakfast Delights14:57 Strawberry Picking Misadventures20:57 Strawberry Picking in Da Lat21:58 Exploring the Chocolate Factory23:00 Tasting Chocolate Samples27:02 Discovering Vietnamese Pizza31:38 Maze Bar Adventure34:12 Navigating the Maze Bar39:53 Concluding Thoughts and Farewell

"Vietnam is becoming more open, more expressive, and more accepting. It's exciting to see."This was such a fascinating conversation with Phuong Truong, the owner of Twist Coffee Bar, one of Saigon's best LGBTQ+ friendly spaces. We talked about the evolution of queer spaces in Vietnam, how attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community are shifting, and why sex education in Vietnam still has a long way to go.One of the things I loved most about this conversation was hearing how Vietnam isn't necessarily anti-LGBTQ+—it's just that for many people, it's still something new. As Phuong put it, many people in rural areas haven't been exposed to it, so their first reaction isn't rejection—it's curiosity. That's a perspective we don't often hear.Key TakeawaysLGBTQ+ spaces in Saigon are growing, and Twist Coffee Bar is a perfect example of that. Vietnamese society isn't necessarily anti-LGBTQ+—it's just that exposure is still limited in rural areas. The shift from a coffee shop to an LGBTQ+ bar was an organic one—and business actually grew. Sex education in Vietnam is still awkward and outdated, leaving young people uninformed. Vietnamese culture leans more toward acceptance than open discrimination.

Join Adrie and I (and Biscuit) on an adventure through Da Lat as we uncover hidden gems and more! We started with a trek that Google Maps recommended but were blocked by security, leading us to Happy Hill Café with stunning views and Instagram-worthy spots. While there, we observed the excessive use of plastic in such a natural setting. We then ventured to the Crazy House, a Gaudi-esque marvel designed uniquely. Throughout our journey, we navigated Da Lat's scenic routes, met locals with impressive English skills, and enjoyed lunch outdoors. Despite some challenges, the exploration was filled with beautiful landscapes, local culture, and of course, our furry friend Biscuit. This video captures the beauty, quirks, and environmental concerns of Dalat, making it a must-watch for future travelers!00:00 Introduction and Trek Plans00:48 Encounter with Security Guards01:01 Enjoying Coffee at Happy Hill02:10 Observations on English Proficiency04:57 Plastic Waste Concerns in Vietnam07:33 Exploring Hidden Gems09:39 Attempting the Trek Again12:38 Lunch at Moe Bistro15:14 Visiting the Crazy House"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!Support the show
