Tokyo Drew TV I am sure u can get them in Japan ?

I actually have a Vietnamese place below my building….lol but they just dont make them there…WTF!
Tokyo Drew Funny who you come across in comment sections!
Tokyo Drew Just researching for my upcoming trip.

So did you pay those scammers ?
ur smart to do that, they have gangs all over in a sec they will come with machette like 100 punk are waiting.
ASIA Top 5 I had a skinny toothpick of a tinker doing me over. I was down to just walk off..but it was his five big mates waiting at the park exit that convinced me to think again..
Half price better than full haha. Next time u should just spin kick them lol
Encountered the same shits when i was in vietnam and i asked them to f off.
Way different from Thailand u see the frog influences
dog eat dog world
Wong Wai-Kit wat
i like this dude, real
Typical American. Complaining about everything and doing everything wrong in a foreign country….because it’s “not the same as home”…….Running across the street in Vietnam is a quick way to get killed.
do you even watch my videos ted? first off, EVERYONE is running across the street in vietnam. Secondly, my only complaint was actually getting scammed from shoe cleaners and the fucking RATS in the bread when im trying to get a banh mi. I would never be as ignorant as comparing it to “how it is back home” because obviously its not. in all my other videos im having a ball brotha! if you dont like it, theres an unsubscribe button on top
Ted is right bro. Running across the street is a quick way to get killed. Just walk slowly across and the motorists will go around you. Those you said that run across are probably first timers like you. As for rats there pretty much in every big cities like LA, NYC, Paris… Been to HCM City 5 times and only stayed at in the Bui Vien / Pham Ngu Lao area. Had a blast everytime. As for scammers, just say no. Dont be shy about it.
your girl is hella cool. im staying right off bui vien right now. everything is $$$$$$
thanks freddy! hows youre experience been?
It’s been okay-ish. Just ventured over here from Thailand to spend 12 nights and it was a total culture shock. I am originally from Boston, Mass, US, so I can deal with the noise. Traffic has to be double as heavy than in Boston.
I agree with your assessment with how to deal with the street vendors and cabbies.. you have to be assertive. One sign of being friendly and they’ll follow you for days–Literally. I miss Thailand and can’t wait to be returning tomorrow. They have vendors that sell things in the streets as well, not as many I find, but at least you can smile and politely say, “no thank you very much,” they smile back and walk away.
If I ever come back to VietNam, I may try Hanoi or some country side.
yep. after all the countries i visited thailand is still the best of both worlds. just the right amount of western / eastern culture
Thailand got its scammers too who try to take you to places by using the old, worn out trick about “this place is closed. I started my tour there December 1, 2017 and will end it December 29 but after the tour I will stay on my own for another 10 nights making this my 5th visit to Thailand. The Thais will back off once you make it clear you’re not interested. Right now I’m in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Many unemployed here and very aggressive. If you walk the street a short distance every man hanging around wants you to ride their tuk tuk. It got so bad that when I was at the night market last night I said I wish they had a t-shirt that states “I love to walk and I don’t need a tuk tuk.” I would gladly pay $50 for it.
If you go to the Angkor Wat temple lots of hordes of people trying to sell you something..this time lots of women and men. Some sell books of the place for $10 but by afternoon with the sun high in the sky the price dropped to $1. The advent of the internet makes a lot of these guide books unnecessary to carry around unless you like sitting and reading books for pastime sake. I got guidebooks from Florence, Italy and Barcelona, Spain back in the early 1990s when the internet was not around. They just sit there now with lots of other books in my collection.
Vietnam can be fun the problem is walking around Hanoi or Saigon is not pedestrian friendly. They will stop to let you cross if you have the guts to walk into traffic. But most westerners know if they try something similar in their country the mortuary will pick up their body later. But I haven’t seen anyone killed or injured. And I have to say Hanoi streets are scarier than Saigon because at least there are traffic lights unlike Hanoi in the old quarter there are no traffic lights. If you don’t dare yourself to cross you will never cross because traffic is non-stop. And no one knows why people are always on the road going somewhere or maybe doing something at home constructive than being on a scooter.
My friend in Saigon came and picked me up on her scooter. It was the scariest experience I’ve ever had. And the first time I let a girl drive me on a scooter. I wanted to take a taxi back to my hotel from the restaurant but that would come across too chicken so I bared it and we merged in the big roundabout where I thought my life would surely come to an end on a December night in Saigon.
I have same thing happen to me in Istanbul, asking for $25, but just paid $5 and walk away. I was weary of these people, so I always ask price before they work on my shoes. They were asking for 50,000 dong, but I didn’t feel comfortable as they don’t have a shop. So I basically said, no thank you and walk away. This is small price to pay to learn life lesson. Worst come worse, just pay and walk away. Our well being is much more important than few bucks, but nevertheless, it leave us with a bitter taste in mouth.
@Adam – Go to central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hue and Hoi An) instead. You’ll have a better experience.
will definitely keep that in mind for next time! thanks
thats why i wear thongs
Dead?bout the mouse
literally the size of a full grown cat!
Pretty little girl you’ve got yourself man. Asia including Thailand without Sunny in Kamla beach Phuket rules man, lool joking man
haha funny. thanks man
Too dirty. Many scammers. Crowded streets. Crazy traffics.
Victor Hong I guess it’s the same in Africa, wich country do you come from?
Thar happened to me when I was in Saigon in August 2015. Two guys approached with me a shoe box cleaning. I said no. They started cleaning…so I’m thinking they are regular shoeshine cleaners only to find out they were scammers. One tried to remove my shoes but I won’t let him. He wanted 400,000 dongs about $20. I said no way but gave him about half of that which is still a lot more for the daily wage there. We were right outside Ben Thanh market. I was in Vietnam again this December 2017 and just left December 23 from Saigon. I was approached by a shoeshine man. This time it was an emphatic no. The truth is they can still make good money if they are honest. If they tell people upfront a reasonable price I think many people would feel they are helping out someone make an honest living. But they rather rip people off to get everything at once like the man in the story who killed the goose that laid a golden egg every day. He got greedy and wanted all the gold eggs. After killing the goose there was only one egg inside. Patience is virtue they say. And honesty is still the best policy.
great story!
All Things Interesting they must give half to the mobb / police
I’m not about to take my shoes off and hand them to somebody anyway but good heads up; going there this weekend so I’ll keep my shoes on 😉
have fun out there chuck! keep you wallet close to you brotha
