Vietnamese society and culture is unique. In this video I reflect on some differences I observed between Vietnam and Australia. The people, the culture and the country.
Hanoi vs Saigon. Vietnam travel.
Why I prefer Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City even though I’m from Saigon.
Christmas in Asia. Vietnam
I spend my Xmas in a Hanoi hospital.
“Chinese have simple minds.. like little children”. Response.
This famous vlogger from China has been disparaging China for years.
When asians speak up then he labels them as “sensitive”, “simple minded” and “unable to deal with objectivity and criticism”.
Giving $1000 USD to help a 5yo orphan go to school.
Thanks to donations from a couple of Viet Kieu guys in America I was able to donate $1000 USD to assist Yen Nhi’s grandparents in raising her and paying for her school costs next year.
Yen Nhi lives in Duc Thanh (near Quang Ngai) in central Vietnam. Her parents died recently after being hit by a truck in the countryside.
Giving $3000 AUD to a girl who lost her leg. Vietnam
I visit Vi in Buon Ma Thuot. She lost her leg in a medical mishap and is being helped out by a Viet Kieu doctor named Nathan Nguyen.
I meet Mark Wiens in Vietnam.
Well. Sort of.
Helping an elderly woman with one eye in Vietnam.
I pay a visit to Long Xuyen in the Mekong. Vietnam.
Cheering up elderly and disabled women in Can Tho. Vietnam.
As Vietnam has outlawed begging the poor and disabled have moved to selling lottery tickets to support themselves.
This morning I thought I’d give them a bit of a hand.
I visit a poor kid in Can Tho hospital. Vietnam.
I visit a 10yo girl in Can Tho hospital with brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta).
