I love russian language, it sounds like music to my ears. It so so cool to see a VIetnamese speaks Russian. I wish one day I could speak so fluently like that .
Before 1990 Russian was the top foreign language that was taught in Vietnam especially in the northern, so many upper 50 y.o Vietnamese can speak Russian
@@josephgee2515My grandfather was taugh by French in highschool, but then he learned Chinese to work in a Chinese restaurant in a boat. My father learned Chinese when he went study oversea in Beijing then comeback Vietnam and jointed to Radar & Missle force to protect Hanoi from America's B52 bombing strategy in 1972. I was born in 1976 after the war and studied Russia untill high school, but then studied English when I go to University then worked for a Japanese company!
What absolute heroes the people of Vietnam are. They fought against American imperialism for their freedom. Living in absolute abhorrent conditions, living in tunnels, and never giving up. Huge respect!
Omar, i am a 69 year old man in the USA. I remember the Vietnam conflict, and just missed the draft. We never wanted war and most Ameticans are involved with ridding our country of the glibalist deep state war machine. We are unapologetic about
I visited Ho Chi Minh City last May 2023 for 5 days i tour the beautiful City and the Cu Chi tunnel and then went to Manila. I am planning to go Vietnam in November 2023 to visit Hanoi the old city and the French Quarter and Halong Bay...Watching from California, USA 😊
I must say I am impressed by you Eli. You were in a CCCP restaurant eating a lot of food, and then you said you were going on a walk to burn those calories. And then you showed up eating a big baguette on that walk. That's really impressing! 💫 💪
Who are you preferring to? I was borned in the South after the war. The one event I can remember as a kid was my older brother drew a flag of one country in which he got in trouble for. My family left Vietnam to America to escape Communism.
@@phillip6078south Vietnam was literally a puppet state and a joke. Even if you hate communism that still doesn’t change the fact that regime took orders from the USA
@@phillip6078 No Vietnamese wanted war. No one wants their country to be a colony. No one wants their country to be invaded and divided. When World War II period (1941-1945) in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh cooperated with the US to expel the Japanese army from Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh admired the American idea of freedom and democracy very much. Vietnam is the only country in the world that has cited part of the US declaration of independence in its own declaration of independence in 1945. America's action to liberate all US colonial territories including the Philippines has made Ho Chi Minh further more believes in the values of freedom and equality of the United States. Ho Chi Minh wrote 11 handwritten letters (still preserved until now in museums in the US and Vietnam) sent to the US president at that time to ask for the help from the US to persuade France (which was liberated by the US army from Nazi Germany in WW2) to free the Vietnamese from the French colonial regime. But the Americans betrayed the values of freedom and equality and supported French to continue to colonize and occupy Vietnam. The Vietnamese have no choice but to stand up for themselves and seeking the helps from Soviet Russia and communist China. While the entire Vietnamese nation took up arms to defend the country, your parents chose to run away and now blame the communists of Vietnam.
@@phillip6078 That's what they tell you but in reality it was the sanctions that made the conditions so bad that people had to leave to try to make a living.
Молодец Элина, прекрасный репортаж, интересно и непредвзято. С тех пор как я открыл для себя Твои репортажи на ЮТюбе, стараюсь смотреть каждый день. И каждый день Ты открываешь много нового и неожиданного! Спасибо, детка!
It's been ten years since I last visited Ho Chi Minh City and I see more modern looking big buildings in this video. The city looks great. Out of all of the other places I've traveled to... IMO the Vietnamese are over all the nicest People and usually always smile. Love their bakeries and coffee in Vietnam. Hope to one day return to visit the country.
Great video Eli. I think that your videos are so well done and this one is just awesone. Vietnam is a nice country and Vietnamese people is so kind and I can understand your love for this country besides the fact that you spent some time working in Ho Chi Minh. That underground base is reminiscent of terrible past times and you have been so brave to go there.Thank you very much.
I''m about to visit HCM city soon. I'm from Ha Noi in the north and the last time I visited HCM city, I loved this place so much, just walking along different streets to experience the daily life there.
Excellent and a very marvelous and amazing adventurous Video Vlog! And the young lady that company you to the Tunells are very knowledgeable of the area and the past War! Ho Chi Minh City is a beautiful City! Eli, you did a great and good job on this documentary Video Vlog that you have created! Keep up the good work!!!👆🌏🎥🎞
I got a surprise introduction into the modernisation of Vietnam when I saw a program about Vinfast electric vehicles & examples of the parent company's other developments.
That was another entertaining and eductional video. I loved the surprise opening! I so enjoy your videos, Eli, because you keep taking us to different parts of the world to see different cultures and meet different people. Your videos continue to show us how kind and gracrious people are all over the world. One has to ask why there has to be war. Most people really want peace. We're happy that you chose to make videos as your career, Eli, and that you have a RU-vid channel, Eli. You are truly a beacon of light.
You are really great at finding and explaining all these elements to use who haven't been to Russia or the East and only Western Europe/America. I really enjoy your videos, especially these covering outside of Russia!
Your friend is so interesting. She speaks Russian impeccably without an accent, no nasal stops between syllables. But her English is spoken with a Vietnamese accent with those stops and ending a word on a vowel rather than a consonant. I wonder if it’s because she was taught English by a native Vietnamese speaker?
Age of learning makes a big difference. If she learned as a child, and I think she said she made school friends, that could be why. A childs mind is very very capable of learning a new language, and infact can develop some abilities that an adult simply cant, at least not without a ridiculous degree of training. Perfect pitch is a good example of this.
This was very interesting Eli - I knew three young men who fought in the US war - two died there. They were drafted - no choice. One was in Chu chi so this was a revelation about the tunnels. Terrible war we were lied into that took too long to stop. 23:02
Great video its really changed since I was there 15 years ago cars were just becoming popular, it was mostly bike motorbike and pedestrians. I did go to the tunnels and ate the rations but didn't shoot the rifles they had. I know for a fact that there was no way to fit into the first space you did....but I did go on my hands and knees down the unlit tunnels. I was surprised no one else from the group would do it. There were other things like silk tapestries of Ho Chi Minh made on jacquard looms, which were stunningly beautiful and almost impossible to believe they were not paintings but tapestry. Loved it.
Thank you Eli. I loved this video about Vietnamese people. I was in the last of the draft (USA) when my number did not come up. I went to college instead. It remained a mystery to me why we were there. Having said that I'm glad that those days are over.... very sad. Lost too many friends for a war we had no business being involved in. Anyway the Vietnamese people are hard working and I would love to visit there someday and just enjoy the culture..... PS. Would also love to visit Russia....have only high regard for Russian people....😊
Frank, I too barely missed the war, but have never questioned why the U.S. was there. We were there to stop the expansion of communism , an evil system that took the lives of millions of people around the globe. Our purpose was pure, the execution poor. I too love the Russian people(my wife is all Slavic) they sacrificed millions of their people to the communist monster. I suspect that Eli is nostalgic for Russia, but not really for the U.S.S.R. It is rather amusing to hear the talk about the market economy. Looks like we won after all!!!

When you are there, the best thing is the 'no hard feeling's.... (Given the atrocious war carnage on the ordinary people) The next is their natural free market spirit is very strong, arguably stronger than in our late stage Western countries, & the third is no Feminism but the women just very strong and cheerful without it, thank-you. P.S. from PBS web: "Ho first led an insurrection against Japanese occupiers. In 1945, Ho's commandos took Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital. In one of the ironies of history, Ho Chi Minh paraphrased a future enemy's benchmark of freedom - the U.S. Declaration of Independence -- while addressing an enormous crowd after the success against the Japanese. Ho proclaimed: "All men are born equal. The Creator has given us inviolable rights: life, liberty, and happiness!"

I am Vietnamese thank you for making videos about our country. Read through some comments that someone intentionally or misrepresented to cause division. The war is over and now is the time for us to work together for economic development. Vietnam is a developing country, so people still have many difficulties. However, always welcome friends from all over the world to visit Vietnam. Thank you for loving Vietnam.
Eli, thank you so much for the interesting, informative and very precious look at Vietnam today and a glimpse of what they went through during the awful war years. I was in the U.S. military working in communications intelligence during rhe early years of that disgusting war and I get tears in my eyes thinking about the terrible things we did there and why there was absolutely no reason for doing it. Ho Chi Minh was a great leader who perseverred through WWII, then fought the French until Dien Bien Phu and was betrayed by the Americans who reneged on the plan to hold elections in 1956 because they knew that Ho would have won in a landslide. I'm heartened to see the country doing so well after losing 3.5 million people to this act of terrorism. I'm also grateful to the support that the Soviet Union gave to the Vietnamese cause.
Tôi rất thích những RU-vid nào làm video ở VN khi gọi TP Hồ Chí Minh và chứ không phải TP SG cũ . Bạn đã tôn trọng lịch sử VN thì người VN sẽ luôn rất tôn trọng điều đó và luôn nở nụ cười như những người Bạn tuyệt vời !!!
Eli I appreciate your love of people and you navigated a sensitive topic well. My Father-in-law was an American helicopter pilot in the war and he finally, 40 years later, traveled back to Vietnam to heal. I think videos like this can help others with that process too.❤
Im most impressed that you could get 15 mins of CuChi footage without someone cutting loose with an AK in the background. For those that dont know theres a tourist firing range a couple of hundred metres behind where she was sitting.
Super coverage of HCMC. Loved the Soviet influences and thanks for sharing the Russian cuisine with us. I know a couple of dishes but looking to try many more.
The exchange at 16:07 reminds of a similar anecdote I had with a Russian engineer at work back in the 90s. I knew full well what USSR meant Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, but when I would watch international hockey I would see the Soviet sweaters have CCCP emblazoned on them. One day I asked him, "What does CCCP mean?" He replied; "It means USSR." to which I replied "I know it _stands_ for USSR, but _what does it mean_ ?" For some strange reason thinking it actually stood for something more. He replied once again "It means USSR!" and looked at me wondering if I was as stupid as I sounded. I was starting to ask for a third time when I realized that it was in fact the Russian abbreviation for USSR.
Hi Eli, all countries have there bad and good points. I'm totally amazed how the Vietnamese have changed there country to one that is looking with a positive attitude and looking into the future. 👒👒👒
Thank you for sharing, the Vietnam War was the first war that I learned about as a kid. I was born two years after the war ended but I remember it was all they ever talked about here in America until the Gulf War and then later when my country invaded Iraq. They taught us that the North Vietnamese were bad because they were communists but I came to respect these people because they were only reacting to foreigners who were trying to subjugate them. Growing up I came to accept not just the good and bad but also the ugliness of my country. 🇺🇸
Good to see a sensible american here. Yes..the ugly side of US is getting more pronounced in recent time. The empire mentality has been carried too far by inept leadership in WH and its neo con oligarchy handlers behind them.
I know the Vietnamese people are justifiably very angry about the Vietnam War. I just wanted to tell wonderful people of Vietnam THANK YOU for being so friendly and forgiving to Americans that love to visit your country.
Wow, that was such a cool installment of your travels through Vietnam! I find it super interesting that three different cultures have left distinct traces in the country: Russians through trade, the French through colonisation and USians through sponsored war efforts. :)
Raw cassava leaves and roots contain chemicals that turn into cyanide. It has to be eaten cooked, and it has to be cooked by somebody who knows how to take care of the cyanide problem.
The tunnel was enlarged and cemented for tourists easy to access. The tunnel in its true form was much smaller and ground soil on all around. Once you get down and under venomous snakes, centerpiece (huge), and all kind of small creatures are your companions, one bite, sting and you're done.
Wow Eli you are such a hardworking and busy traveling girl making new video one right after the other. I envy you when many people (in the west) are struggling with paying their mortgages and groceries due to crazy high interest rate you are able to travel and making all these great documentaries. I heard a lot of good things about Vietnam but it's too far (I mean expensive plane tickets) for me to travel there so I'm very happy you are making these videos about Vietnam great job! 👍
Gooood Moooooorning Eli 😁 This was again a good, infomational and very interesting video.👏👏👏 You are my most favourite russian! Please, stay as you are, and who knows, mayby we will see us once in real life.😉 With friendly greetings from the Ruhrgebiet in Deutschland👋👋
Couldn't care less about your polish friends. Was this a reason for murdering millions in vietnam, korea and laos ? A lot of social progress came from communists, or fear of communism rising (so you can thank communism too) Paid vacations, healthcare, free education. It's downhill for our social rights in europe since the fall of the soviet union, look at the state of the NHS in UK now. USA didn't face consequences of both world wars the way asia and europe did. That's due to its geographic location, not some sort of superiority, or exceptionalism. So keep quiet et be humble.
This episode Is one of the most interesting due to the honest approach with which you engaged the free and friendly people. Honest answers and opinions about how they see themselves as a nation. Love to all these honest and freedom loving people. To you,Eli, for this video 10/10. Cheers!
Xin chào bạn, tôi là người việt nam, tôi rất ngưỡng mộ và yêu mến người dân nga. Đặc biệt rất ngưỡng mộ ngài tổng thống vladimia phu tin của đất nước bạn.
Quite funny for me, too. I guess a lot of Vietnamese people prefer food with strong flavors, lots of spices. I ate at the same restaurant in the video, and I really like the food. I think the Russian dishes in the video have the right taste for me.
Hi Eli, there is another less famous tunnel system than Cu Chi. You might be interested in Phu Tho Hoa Tunnel in Tan Phu District of Ho Chi Minh City. Not so many people know about it.
This was very interesting for me to watch because my hometown (San Jose) has a huge Vietnamese population, with a lot of people who came after the war. Signs and school documents were always in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. It was also a different perspective on the Vietnam War than I got while growing up in the USA from people who fought in it on the American side. I appreciate this different look at things.
Hi Eli and good day to you and your beautiful Vietnamese girlfriend. I must tell you that I am old fan and long time subscriber of yours. I lived through the Vietnam war years and was not happy about this conflict and my country’s participation in this war. I was caught in the middle of this. U.S. had the draft, I just finished college, and had to do something. So I joined the Army Reserve, weekend warriors as we were never called. I served 7 years, never had to go to Vietnam to fight this unjust war, so lucky. Fact, Ho Chi Minh really admired the Democratic form of Government. He once approached the American President and told him so but was ignored. So that is why the north Vietnam 🇻🇳 government turned to China to get rid of the French. If you are interested I can provide you with the facts that support my findings. Take care and let me know. Now Vietnam 🇻🇳 is an ally and trading partner with USA.
U.S.A the international TERRIOST of planet earth 🌍 there should be a warrant of arrest by international community of all Presidents for crimes except TRUMP! Debt settlement must take care of Vietnamese people 1 for 1..... GOD bless B.R.I.C.S.
The entrance was makes very small to prevent America soldiers going through because most of the American soldiers are very big and the tunnels are Also makes very small.
America looked for small soldiers and gave them pistols and flashlights to go hunting Viet Cong in the tunnels. They were known as tunnel rats. Some of the tunnels were fancy enough to have underground hospitals and operating rooms. The tunnel system of Cu Chi had portals with tiny covers, like the one shown, that emerged inside the barbed wire of American fire bases, so the Viet Cong could sneak inside any time they liked.
The Russian Cafe... Really dig it.... Never been to HCH before, and i was thinking heading to Hanoi soon... Hmm... So it's going to be toss up then.... Anyway, love your work ... Take care , stay true.. and keep it up, Cheers!!
Thank you, Eli. This opened my eyes a bit more. I’ve always considered myself open-minded, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed my preconceptions having a bigger influence on my thinking than they should. Watching these videos forces me to become more aware of that. Keep keeping us in check.
I just watched a part series of vietnam war. The war was just so brutal and the bombardments by the B-52 bombers forced them to go underground.... But the suffering from the pple 😢😢 was so hard to watch... Its nice to see the progress they've made and hope the south and north people healed
Đúng vậy Chiến tranh Nga Ukraine trả ăn thua gì so với Chiến tranh Việt Nam Hôm qua có một RU-vid người Việt đến Odessa và tôi thấy mọi thứ vẫn sinh hoạt bình thường. Chiến tranh Việt Nam mỗi 1km vuông phải hứng 6 tấn bom của Mỹ 😢 Không biết Nga đang huy động bao nhiêu cho chiến tranh với Ukraine Nhưng Mỹ từng đưa 60% sức mạnh vào chiến trường Việt Nam Chưa bao gồm Việt Nam cộng Hòa và lính Chư hầu
Hi Eli! You made a little impression on me when you came out of that hole. 😨🤣 I am happy that Vietnam today is a united country and I hope that they have not brought with them the remnants of political ideals that now belong to those times. The Vietnam War lasted 20 years and was one of the most horrific ones mankind has ever seen. We must never forget what atrocities the Vietnamese people have suffered whether they were from the north or from the south, however, today Vietnam is united and in 50 years it has shown that it wants to get up again and from the experience of war caused by political ideals, it has matured the common idea of adopting an administrative socio-economic and political system that suited the whole country. In practice there has been a real evolution. Seeing those tunnels dug underground and walking through those battlefields makes a certain impression and I imagine how those soldiers lived in that state. All in all, Vietnam is a country that is increasingly improving its economic and social conditions that, as the girl said, many foreign entrepreneurs invest in Vietnam so much that today this country has become quite competitive. As I have noticed, the Vietnamese, or a part of them, owe a lot to Russia from a political, administrative, economic, social and culinary point of view and, for all these reasons, one can find one more reason to study the Russian language so that even in Vietnam you can speak Russian with someone. 😁 Speaking of Pelmeni, you Russians have made me obsessed with eating Pelmeni that where I am I can't find them in supermarkets and now that I've seen this video, my obsession has returned. 🤤😭😭😭😭 To get this obsession out of my head again, I don't know how many times I have to bang my head against the wall. 😡🤣🤣

@@Zack-ky7qf Nobody should go to Ukraine. It's too dangerous. Are you responsible when your fellow citizens kill somebody in some foreign country, or when one of your citizens kills a foreign tourist?
@@jackieow she is responsible yeah because while other russian youtubers at least condemned the war, she is carring out an agenda entertaining and distract hwr audience from what is going on in ukraine, where the greatest sin of russian orcs is the killing of civilians. It is not a mere foght among powers and ar.ies, there is a plan to punish ukrainians only because they wanted not to be russian. A plan that is genocide your employer putin said this in his speech ( ukraine has no right to exists) and abducting 150k ukr children. Hope you all can have a war in your homeland and people call you fascists when you whine.
