Podcast Slow and Clear.

Google What's Up English.

Today I'm going to tell you about my trip to HaZang and that's why I'm sitting to the side.

So here I can put pictures and videos for you guys to see what I'm talking about.

Now, this trip was pretty crazy, to be honest.

So today I'm going to tell you about the highlights of the trip.

For example, we got stuck at the bottom of a mountain for five hours.

We took a really strange, interesting boat ride.

and the third thing is that we literally saved a guy's life.

So it's going to be a pretty interesting podcast and I'm going to tell you all about it.

But before we get started,

if you'd like to support the channel and get high quality products to learn English at the same time,

then check out my website, whatsupenglish.vn.

Right now you can get two products.

The first one is my 1000 most common words which has 1000 of the most common words along with their IPA transcription,

their meaning in Vietnamese and a natural sentence in both English and Vietnamese so you know how to use the word.

It also comes with slow and clear audio for every single word and sentence read by me.

And if you want to improve your speaking and pronunciation,

for example, many people can understand my podcast but really have trouble with speaking.

You can understand but it's really hard to speak.

So if that is you then definitely check out my complete American English pronunciation course.

In this course you'll learn how to clearly pronounce every single sound in American English.

And you also get to practice speaking with hundreds of words and useful sentences for daily life.

You'll also get a bonus shadowing course where I talk about a bunch of different topics

so you can practice your speaking and pronunciation.

The shadowing will help you speak more fluently and more naturally and automatically.

There's a special tech coupon for 20% off and this will expire on February 14.

So make sure to get it before then because after that,

there will be no more coupon and it will be the normal price.

Okay, let's get started with the podcast.

Okay, so a few months ago,

my brother came to Vietnam from Canada to visit me.

And on that trip, we did a trip to Ha Giang.

So it was me, my brother,

and my two close friends, Luke and Steve.

And before you say, Carter,

why would you go to Ha Giang after your brother just came to Vietnam for the first time?

That must be really dangerous.

But don't worry.

He does mountain biking in Canada.

He had an international driver's license for the motorbike.

and we did some practice in Hanoi before we went to Ha Zang.

So don't worry, he had experience and we got practice in first and he doesn't drive like a maniac.

He drives very carefully and intelligently.

So I wasn't worried.

I know he's a smart guy.

And anyway, so we started our trip to Ha Zang.

The trip was about nine or 10 days.

and we started from Hanoi.

So Steve, Luke and I have been to Hazang before.

Steve especially.

He's been maybe like five or six times.

So we all have some experience going to Hazang.

And after we started our trip from Hanoi,

we didn't take a night bus to Hazang.

We started from Hanoi and we drove to Ha Zang.

So I had my own bike.

Luke had his own bike,

but my brother and Steve,

they both rented their own bikes.

This is important for the story.

So anyway, we all start the trip from Hanoi and everything is going fine.

And then when we get out of the city in Hanoi,

my friend Steve, his bike breaks down.

It broke down pretty much on like a freeway, like a long road.

And it didn't look like there was anywhere around us to fix the bike.

So we went to this place.

We walked the bike to a place where someone was selling iced tea.

And we asked him if there was anywhere close by where we could fix the bike.

Because this was outside of the city.

Like you look around and there's really not much there.

And the guy says, just go down that road about 200 meters and take a right.

So we thought, okay, cool.

And we started to, well,

one person was pushing Steve's bike and we made it to the garage to fix the bike.

So we got the bike fixed and we assumed everything was all good.

spoiler alert everything was not all good but we'll see why later

so anyway we go to a homestay

and we're staying there we had dinner had fun had some rice wine

and we met a big group of Vietnamese people

so we just hung out with them for the night and everything was fun and normal

So the next few days we stayed at some different homestays.

There's nothing too special about that.

So I'll skip to when we went to the Nyokwe River.

Now, right before we went to the Nyokwe River,

Steve's bike broke down again.

So we had to go to a garage to get it fixed.

The mechanic had to fix his clutch, like his clutch discs.

And I got the mechanics number

because this was the second time the bike broke down and I figured it might break down again.

So after the bike gets fixed,

we make our way to the Nyokwe River.

And for anyone who has ever been to the Nyokwe River before,

you know how beautiful it is from the top of that mountain.

because from there you can see down to the river you can see the turquoise water

and the trail that leads to it and the mountains on the other side

100

because the river is like between two mountains in a valley basically

101

and normally you would buy a ticket to go on the boats down in the river

102

But we didn't plan it too well,

103

so we didn't buy a ticket.

104

We just decided we'll go there and then we'll get a ticket or we'll pay them at the bottom.

105

Because that's what we did a few years ago and it was totally okay.

106

Before we went down to the Nyauque River,

107

we took some photos at the top and some videos and we really enjoyed the scenery.

108

I don't often say this word,

109

but it was like breathtaking.

110

It was really, really nice.

111

And after we enjoyed the view,

112

we started to head down to the river.

113

Now, I don't know if you have been to the Nyokwe River before, then you'll know.

114

But for those who have never been there,

115

when you go down to the river,

116

the path is really like winding.

117

and there are a few parts that are really steep and it takes about 20 minutes to get down to the bottom.

118

So anyway, after we got to the bottom,

119

we planned to go on the boat and take a little boat tour.

120

But when we got there,

121

everybody was painting their boats.

122

So we couldn't do any tour.

123

Since we had already driven down there,

124

we figured, okay, let's just enjoy the river a bit.

125

Let's just sit here, hang out,

126

and then we will go back up.

127

So after hanging out for around 20 minutes,

128

we decided to go back up and get some lunch

129

because it was around one in the afternoon at that time and we were starting to get hungry.

130

But then after we got on the bikes to go up the mountain, guess what happened?

131

Steve's bike broke down again.

132

So now we're at the bottom of this mountain at the Nyakwe River and his bike is broken down.

133

There's absolutely no way we could push the bike up because it was a really heavy bike.

134

And even just walking up that mountain with nothing would be a difficult workout.

135

but luckily I had the mechanic's number

136

so I called him I said please come down

137

and help us you know we'll we'll pay you for your time

138

and for your service just please come down and help us

139

because we really really need your help no one in the village by the Nyokwe river could fix our bike

140

So this guy was basically our only hope at getting this bike up the mountain.

141

Now, luckily, he was really nice and he agreed to come down and help us.

142

So after around 45 minutes,

143

he came and it took around three or four hours to fix the bike.

144

And during this time, we were just waiting for him to fix the bike,

145

hanging out, and people were walking by,

146

staring at us, wondering what we were doing.

147

There were cows there.

148

It was a pretty funny scene.

149

It even started to get dark at around like 5.30 or 6.

150

But luckily, he fixed the bike.

151

And so we thanked him.

152

We paid him.

153

and then we got up the mountain and went to our homestay

154

and by that time we were starving because we didn't even eat lunch

155

and so we had like the best dinner one of the best dinners

156

that I think we've all ever had and we were not only really hungry

157

but the food at this homestay was really good as well.

158

So now I'll fast forward to the crazy boat ride.

159

Now we found this boat because we were following the maps

160

that my friend had researched online

161

and it led us to go through these really narrow trails where

162

if you fell to the right then like it would not be good for you

163

because it was quite steep and quite high

164

but after we got through those trails it came to a river where the boat was.

165

Now as soon as they saw us they started to bring the boat towards us.

166

It's more kind of like a ferry for carrying bikes

167

but it's also pretty much just a raft made with bamboo sticks maybe i'm not totally sure

168

and it was moved by manpower like there was a cord there

169

and they would have to pull the cord to move uh the boat

170

or the raft i was a little bit worried

171

because we had our four bikes on it

172

and there were times where water was coming up through the raft

173

and i thought okay i hope it can hold four bikes

174

but anyway it turned out totally fine of course the people knew what they were doing

175

so then after that the next day that's

176

when the really crazy thing happened so after

177

that boat ride we went to our homestay had dinner slept

178

and then the next day we began riding to our next destination

179

so on the way to the next destination we were going down a long road

180

and as we were going i was in the front

181

and i could see something down the road on basically still on the road

182

and so as i kept going

183

and i could see it more clearly i could tell

184

that it was a man next to his bike and it looked like he crashed and so we all drove

185

up to him and when we got to him we could see

186

that yeah this guy definitely crashed it was really bad his

187

helmet was completely like destroyed on this side like scratched

188

and broken he had on his both of his elbows both

189

of his knees his hands basically every like part of his body looked like it had been damaged from this crash.

190

And when he stood up,

191

he got up really slowly and it looked like he had hit his head.

192

So I asked him, do you know what year it is?

193

And he said, I can't really,

194

I don't really know off the top of my head.

195

I don't really know.

196

So if he doesn't know what year it is,

197

it's pretty clear that he had a head injury,

198

probably a concussion or something like that.

199

At this point, we know we have to get him to a hospital.

200

And luckily there was someone

201

driving by in a car and we flagged him down

202

and we asked him where is the closest hospital we need to bring this guy to the hospital

203

because he just had a really bad fall

204

and this guy he said oh okay like get him in

205

the car uh I'll drive him to the hospital we said okay great we we will follow you

206

so I took the guy's bike the guy who fell down

207

and I went with Luke and he went on his own bike

208

so Luke and I followed this car all the way to the hospital

209

and it was around 20 kilometers away pretty far so

210

when we got there there was pretty much no one there because this was a hospital in a really small town.

211

So I walked in, I was looking for someone and I didn't see anyone.

212

Honestly, I just saw a few chickens walking around.

213

So I thought, uh-oh.

214

But as I went further into the hospital,

215

I found some people and I told them like,

216

hey, we found this guy.

217

He fell on the road.

218

He's seriously injured.

219

He hit his head.

220

He's bleeding.

221

Please help us.

222

And the funny thing was,

223

was that they seemed more surprised about how I could speak Vietnamese.

224

And they were saying like,

225

oh, your Vietnamese is so good.

226

And I was saying like, okay, like, thank you.

227

But we have to check this guy out because he,

228

you know, he could be seriously hurt.

229

So that was kind of funny, to be honest.

230

And then we brought him downstairs in this hospital to where the doctor was.

231

And the doctor looked at him, took off his jacket.

232

And we saw that he was more injured than we thought

233

because we couldn't see under the jacket until he took it off.

234

And that hospital didn't have any machines like x-rays to check on him.

235

So the doctor said, we need to send him to a hospital in Kaobang.

236

And there they can see how he is injured.

237

And so we ordered a truck,

238

sent him to that hospital.

239

The truck brought his bike along with himself.

240

and I got his WhatsApp phone number so I could stay in touch with him and help him if he needed anything.

241

So after he got to the hospital

242

and got the x-rays done the next day he told me he had five broken ribs,

243

a punctured lung and a ruptured kidney along with severe cuts and burns on his arm.

244

But anyway, after that, he went back to Canada and everything is all good.

245

So I guess the moral of the story is that when you go to Hazang,

246

just be careful.

247

If it's, you know, don't drive too fast.

248

Be careful of the trucks.

249

Everyone says how dangerous it is because there are so many accidents.

250

but if you just drive carefully stay on the side of the road don't try to pass people on corners

251

or turns or anything crazy like that then you should be okay

252

so that's going to wrap up the story here is the last photo we took on

253

that trip of the four of us together i think it's

254

a great photo it kind of feels like it sums up the whole trip right there just we were tired

255

and uh it had been a crazy week so anyway

256

that is the story of my trip to hazang i hope

257

you guys enjoyed it uh you can write in the comments any experiences

258

or trips crazy things that happened uh write it and i'll try to check it out.

259

But yeah, that's it for this podcast.

260

I will see you in the next one.

261

Goodbye.
