What's LIVING IN HO CHI MINH CITY like as a foreigner? 🇻🇳 

Please give me takumi contact. I want to make friends with him :D

Why do you end all your sentences with a high tone?

He’s great!

Vâng, có thể nhận ra qua giọng nói đầy hào hứng của anh ấy, đó là giọng mà một người nói dối sẽ không bao giờ bắt chước được.

phụ đề có tâm kiểu “laid back culture” dịch thành “cực đoan văn hoá sa thải” 😅😅😅

@@mottiengnhat8921 "living expenses make sense" dịch thành "chi phí sinh hoạt có ý nghĩa" =)))

@@mottiengnhat8921 thật, dịch vớ vẩn

phụ đề dịch sai nhiều chỗ quá :)))

Cô ấy là một người gốc việt và chắc chắn là cô ấy hiểu tiếng anh hơn tiếng việt. Ví dụ như anh chàng người Nhật Takumi nói "like me" đại ý "giống như tôi", thì cô ấy lại dịch thành "thích tôi". Nhưng không sao, đó là một sự nhầm lẫn và có thể cải thiện theo thời gian. Ai cũng cần phải học, mỗi lần sai sót sẽ giúp chúng ta tiến bộ hơn.

i should hire a Vietnamese to work on my translation!!! lol

@@skyetran just don't be too straightforward on the translation, such as 7:47 Grab is a noun so don't need to translate it, or 15:35 tones = tông màu, but in this context it mean tông/tone giọng". But overall, I can still understand most of the translation.

@@bac9760 I appreciate it, this is a learned lesson for me & thank you for the feedback :)

Ồ, bạn nói tôi mới để ý đến phần phụ đề, bởi vì tôi thường che phụ đề đi để luyện phản xạ nghe tiếng anh. Đúng là nó rất kì cục và mang một ý nghĩa hoàn toàn khác.

​​@@bac9760in this particular instance, i think she meant "remembering the tomes" as in the "dấu" or tonal markers, where words can change their tone with different markers, if that makes sense lmao

Oh nice! When & where in Vietnam do you plan to move?

@@skyetran Initially this yr June but I was scared so I postponed it until Feb next yr HCM!

Do you really expect them to know the differences? Wishful thinking man

In terms of both GDP and GDP per capita, vietnam and south Africa are pretty much the same. It’s weird to say vietnam is “third world” compared to south Africa

Sounds like some is jealous of the first world.

I don't find it annoying. I find you annoying.

@Cai-Luong-Chi-Bao oh, so you f8nd first world people annoying also. You've got issues pal.

Thank you...more interviews to come! Rebecca is brains & beauty

@@skyetran Great interview Skye How can I contact Rebecca please

That’s awesome!

Aww great to hear... Where would you like to visit in Vietnam?

Thanks James, really appreciate it :)

lots of luck for Takumi :)

haha he did make a valid point with the overload info fatigue!

Glad you enjoyed it

You're welcome...glad they're helpful

Thank you! where in Vietnam do you plan on living?

Thank you, more to come!

Thank you!

🫶🏼

Thank you & welcome!!!

happy to hear

Welcome!!

Hi JOHN!!!! Add me on IG @theskyetran

Aww Thank you...I'm currently still learning Vietnamese to be better at the language

S.A must be that bad?

@@skyetran the reports from people who have lived there for a long time are....sobering

It’s not THAT bad. She exaggerated way too much. Cape Town SA is a thousand times better

Glad this could be as educational for you as it was for me...I plan on sharing more videos like this sharing from different perspectives from the people who live here :)

I could, anything else you'd want to know? :)

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it!

Maybe you can be my translator?

Xem qua các comment thì có thể chị này là Việt kiều nên tiếng Việt không rõ lắm. Chắc có gì đợi chị từ từ cải thiện thôi

Dùng Google dịch sub tốt hơn bản dịch của video.

😃

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the different perspectives. And appreciate the feedback :)

Yeah i don't know what she talking about , maybe not in live in saigon

I think she means phone or purse snatching. I don't think she means robbery in the violent sense. Violence is non existent. Very rarely. I saw a fight over a girl once. Two young guys. That's going to happen anywhere. It's about a 1000 times safer than the US

​@@angryashell100robbery by definition involves violence or threat of violence. I think she misspoke. She probably meant to say steal from you, not rob.

@@angryashell100 Phone or purse snatching is robbery. Yes, the entire continent of Asia with several billion people is safe. You never hear Asians express fear of crime about other Asian cities because there is practically no crime there. It's only foreigners from countries with lots of crime that comment on the safety of Asian cities because they're not used to the feeling of being 100% safe that they can't even believe it's real.

It is a 3rd world country, research before making yourself look stupid.....

Saigon has a strong start-up culture

Cảm ơn

If your income is legal and you can proof it, you can take it back.

@@S1lverarrow, People have lives. Who wants to waste their lives to deal with this.

what's below the surface that you're talking about? :)

@@skyetran You should interview more Vietnamese people from poor family background, from different generations, interview people who escaped Vietnam during Vietnam War, etc... to know what is 'under surface of Vietnam'.

Hi, DM me on IG @theskyetran

⭐

it's sooo good

@@skyetran yeah it's yummy 😋. My neighbour's grow betel leaves sometimes they give it to my mum or she just buys them.

i'm not a saigonese but live here for 5years and i have heard about international students in normal schooll. if you dont want your children to go to an international school, do a research then send emails or phone calls to the local schools, ask them if them could take english speaking students. It will be easier if your children can speak daily or basic vietnamese, the local schools will take them in easier if they under middle schools, from secondary school the locals have tests to ensure the quality of students so it would be harder to step in after secondary school and especially high school. Last things, i usually hear that most international student will get a year of re learning to get use to the new educatinl system, so they will take 1 year late than other as same ages.

😎

"laid back" is not "nghỉ trưa" or "sa thải". "laid back" or "easy going" means "từ tốn, nhẹ nhàng, không quá áp lực" .

Hello, I’m from the states

The subtitle is like shit:)

The subtitle is like shit.

WTF? What you said is exactly opposite😅 You are dead wrong, or you faked or you never been to VIETnam lol

Maybe they just didn't like you. Get a better attitude might help?😢

You talking kak.....most of the white south Africans who says such stuff about SA is just poor white south Africans like you....rich white south Africans are making money in SA and they are living large......I am sure u not educated and u don't own anything...you spend too much time on racism

Black people are running it to the ground? Well... It's their country. They have been exploited enough. Blet them sort it out for themselves. Afrika for Africans.

Then why are you there living off them? People like you are never grateful for anything in your life. Take take take from the less fortunate and take take take some more

Not all the Thai like that. Vietnamese gonna be the same as Thai in the future.

Yes, Vietnam is and was third world. Vietnam never was a member of the Warsaw pact nor NATO. First world, after world war two, whoever signed with NATO, the USA and great Britain. The second world, the Warsaw pact, signed with Russia. Third world, countries that never signed with neither or stay neutral. Nothing to do with economic challenges like the term is being misused today. Finland and Sweden just joined NATO this year, were they economic challenges or underdeveloped and poor?

@@prunecuda1 I’m not gonna read any of your comment since I did do research on Wikipedia and it says Vietnam is a 2nd world country, mate. I’m not lying

@@Philiplubert Vietnam took grants and aids from Russia. There is a very strong bond between Vietnam and Russia. But Vietnam never listed as a member of the Warsaw pact. If there is a treaty to say that Vietnam was, i never heard of it.

@@Philiplubert in the 40s and the 50s, Vietnam was under the French colony after WW2. The only thing I can think of is that after seeking help from Amerika and was turned down since Amerika was helping the French to reboot its shambled economy, ho chi Minh turned communist. Since all communists are considered to be aligned with Eastern block communist, Vietnam was considered as the second world. But the truth was, Vietnam was never a member.

@@prunecuda1 You seriously blamed Vietnam for not aligning with those East European countries? The western people has always viewed Vietnam as a bad communist country because of their lack of geopolitical knowledge and narrow historical perspective. We have suffered too many wars with the French, USA and even our neighbor countries in the past to fight for our freedom and independence, while maybe your country was living prosperously in peace. As you didn’t know, Vietnam is the impermanent members of the United Nations Security Council and we are comprehensive strategic partner with both China and the US. Both of the most powerful president in the world visited Vietnam in 2023 and also Putin visited our country in the last month - June 2024. Now the Asian peace and our regional security are all focus on Vietnam for being the country of peace since 2021. Accordingly, we have voted neutrally against the Russian-Ukrainian war and condemned the attack on innocent victims at Hamas but what we achieved was the Ukraine's hateful attitude and they trampled on the statue of our greatest leader.
