Thanks for making this video! I'm planning a trip to Vietnam in November and am anxious about motorcycling through it but as I'm watching your adventure, it gives me comfort it can absolutely be done. There is more logistics I have to think through, but this is a great start for me! 🙂
Hey, I’m a little late watching your video. I stumbled across it. That was very impressive of you. You handled everything very well. Even the whoops.I am 60. Moved to Saigon end of last year. And married a Vietnamese lady. And I still haven’t ridden a motorbike on my own yet. It’s very intimidating to me. But watching your video. I have a little more confidence in myself to try it. I am sure my wife would appreciate it😂 So thank you for sharing your trip. 😊 new subscriber by the way😉
A few take aways from this video. The US Navy has a new secret f@ck-bomb detector and has labeled this video as AAA+. As an old krusty long ago sailor it kept making me chuckle “hey mom pass the effin mash potatoes “ This video was fun and also helpful. It’s hard to find video of the first part of the trail so I enjoyed it. What month was the video filmed in ???
Well done! Riding a motorbike through Viet Nam is one of the greatest mind expanding travel adventures of a lifetime 🙏🏼 your rooftop thing in HCM was a unique twist I haven’t seen on RU-vid.
Best Saigon-Hanoi motorbike video I've watched. The video is not too long, not too short. Good fun stops events and information along with well-edited footage. Enjoyed the music too. 👍
Did you have a Vietnam driver license and motobike insurance with the cards which are both mandatory here? Have a bad accident without either your fault or not and see what happens. Ever seen the show-"Locked-Up Abroad'?
Soon as I saw the honda blade i knew it was almost definitely from tigit :D Havent had the chance to use their services but they have great youtube videos
Hi Monet, I have just found this article. I am the group leader who took the team onto the site 20 something years ago. I am the Warrant Officer, Bobby, who is on far left on the picture you have. I spoke to Rusty during the planning for your first expedition and had hoped that the UK team had enough information to take you onto the site. I am so glad you found it. I have also watched the interview with John and he is right about the burial spot of the remains. The remains where buried in several black plastic bags and secured with white mine type. You where on the mark where you found the aircraft number. At the time we could access the ground below the wing and buried them around three feet under the soil at the time. Looking at the pictures of the wing I would guess you would have had to dig around 6 to 7 feet below the wing due to foliage and soil that would have covered the wing over the years. I can give you more detail on that expedition if you wish. Did BATUK give you the framed wing gun I carried of the mountain at the time? Drop a means of contacting you if you pick this up. I dont do social media so an email would be a start.
Not a serious vlogger, too silly and imature. If you expect to influence others, especially other newbie woman who want to experience riding please spend more time with safety issues.
My number one interest, Norse in the new world. One theory is the climate got too cold for them and they left. We're not taking about the hardy Vikings of old, these were Christianized farmers. Another one was because of the small population inbreeding became a problem. Several graves excavated had the skeletal remains of dwarfs, one of the many side effects of inbreeding.
alright so next time try this, keep the weight under 20lbs pack the backpack correctly adjust it properly there shouldn't be tension or weight on your shoulders try using trail runners instead of those heavy merrell looking booties fanny packs are for ID,snacks,money. water bladders are not good you cant measure your water consumption and its not modular like a few water bottles now thats just my opinion and what ive seen poeple do wrong over and over again
You have a great sense of how everything should flow within your video, and the editing is outstanding. The quality is on par with any million-sub channel and I applaud you for that.
Its nice that you have the opportunity to do this kind of thing and monetise it. Its difficult to watch this knowing the demise of black and brown soldiers who fought for empire and have never been honoured nor their remains been of interest. “Beyond the Western Front, in Africa and the Middle East, the remains of black and brown men who had fought, laboured and died for the British empire had been treated differently to those of their white comrades. Although these men had fallen in the same theatres of the same war, they, unlike white soldiers, had been denied the dignity of a known grave. Some were left in unmarked graves or even mass graves on the edges of forgotten battlefields or the sites of temporary field hospitals. These men, at least 100,000 of them, subjects of the British empire, had been treated in death as they had been so often treated in life - as the second-class citizens of a racialised empire.”
So true! Tom, who joins me on these expeditions, actually works with the British War Graves Association to locate remains of soldiers who weren’t given a proper burial, which as you pointed out is overwhelmingly black and brown men. A very overlooked aspect of WWII history, thanks for pointing it out.
