    I found an underground base, Soviet food and a Russian market in Ho Chi Minh



    I call Ho Chi Minh my second hometown, because I’ve lived and worked here after graduating from university in Russia. Here I started my YouTube channel and this city gave me an opportunity to start traveling the world. I can’t wait to share my love for Ho Chi Minh with this video.

    Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam, and it’s a business and financial hub of the country. You might have heard different names of this city: Ho Chi Minh and Saigon. Saigon was the capital of French Indochina and then of South Vietnam until the fall of Saigon in 1975. Then the communist government renamed Saigon in honour of the president and the leader of the Vietnamese revolution Hồ Chí Minh.

      Of course Eli could be a genuine non-political person but in the current situation not speaking out suggests she supports the war or is at least indifferent to it ……Russia is NOT as tightly controlled as North Korea in the sense you can come on line and say things like '' i can't speak freely'' so why doesn't she do this ?

      actually North Vietnam were Vietnamese, South Vietnam were… French. The US supported the French and French colonial government in the first indoChina war against Vietnamese , and then kicked out the French and support French colonial government in the South and turn them into American puppet colonial government.

      Tôi rất thích những Youtube 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 !!!

      Amazing how Vietnamese farmers in sandals armed with Kalashnikovas beat the u.s. military so handedly that it knocked the u.s. dollar off the gold standard as is to this day.

      Lived in Saigon and Danang for about a year just before Vietnam was overtaken by Vietcong (Northern Communist regime) in the early 70s.
      At age of 4, still remember Vietnam as a beautiful country with lovely people(neighbor kids).
      Now Vietnam has become a powerhouse just about to overtake China.
      Go go! Vietnam!

      Your hidden Soviet propaganda is absolutely disgusting! It brought bad times over many European countries several decades ago! Slava Ukraini, Putin to Den Haag!

      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.
