Ahhh, I hope I can always remember the feeling of hopefulness from this first video. The next video will tell the rest of the story and set me on the path that has to be more skeptical.

Slow your roll, brother. You are describing the biginning of the end for a huge number of expats. It takes time and scepticism to find what is real and not a setup or long con.

I'm so happy for you...glad you're reciprocating to make her feel appreciated as well. I'm a U.S Marine Corps Veteran relocating to Thailand 🇹🇭 this year. I just happened to see your video and thought your content would be great for a single, okser guy that keeps going on cruises alone. Enjoy Vietnam 🇻🇳.

I was prepared for my first trip to Vietnam, my wife is Vietnamese. One thing that was still a surprise even after hours of Vietnamese YouTube videos was the traffic. Anyone that thinks that Asians can't drive should take a ride in a Grab or Be car in district 1 at rush hour. I'm surprised that I didn't wear through the floor boards with my stomping on the imaginary brake pedal. I loved every bit of the month we were there.

Welcome to Vietnam ✌️🫰🇻🇳❤️<br>During this season, Vietnam offers a gift from nature that everyone can enjoy—one that benefits the body and boosts immunity: the chance to bathe in an outdoor downpour. It is far superior to a bathroom shower, and something travelers should definitely try.<br>Thanks for sharing.

Back during 2019 to 2024 I spent all that time researching SE Asia, videos, etc. Then I moved to Thailand in 2024.

The honking there is something else. After all the years, I have not been to Vietnam, only Thailand and Cambodia.<br>Will follow your journey here

Good for you. She will always admire you if you take control and protect her even if you don't know what you're doing. If your decisions go sideways, it doesn't matter. You own it and move on
