Would I ever leave Vietnam and return to America?

Short answer, no. Long answer, hell no. And that is hell no with capital letters.

So there is a thousand different reasons why me leaving Vietnam

and going back to America would be one of the dumbest decisions I've ever made.

But today I'm just gonna give you a few reasons because

if I give you all the reasons my camera's gonna run out of battery

and surely you guys will get tired of hearing me talk.

The reasons I give today are specific to me.

Maybe other foreigners will have different opinions so just keep in mind

that these are my opinions and my experience based on living in America and living in Vietnam.

So let's get started.

Reason number one, the cost of living.

The cost of living in America is astronomical economical compared to Vietnam.

The way I look at it is everything in Vietnam is roughly 8 to 10 times cheaper than it is in America.

So for example, rent is about 8 times cheaper.

Transportation, taking care of your car, taking care of bike, whatever, food, everything, it's about 8 to 10 times cheaper.

Now it can be more than that, it can be less than that depending on your habits, you know whether you eat healthy whether you eat fast food

if you eat like a local if you go out

and to dinner every night all that it can kind of depend but let's talk a little bit about the rent

so my rent in Miami now the house

that I had was about $2 ,500 a month

and this was not a super nice villa beautiful place it was just a very basic house

and I don't want to say it was in the ghetto but it was in the ghetto.

So $2 ,500 a month, that's like 40, about 50, about 50 million BND per month.

Now that does not include electricity, that does not include the air conditioning, your insurance, all that.

I have, you know, I'm a actor here in the film industry, so I have many actor, producer, fashion designer friends that live in Hollywood,

and Los Angeles is unbelievably expensive

so my good friend who is Bao Chan Chi she is the lead costume designer of Chang Ho Lin Si

and also the lead costume designer of World's Greatest Beer Run

which is a Hollywood film that was filmed here in Vietnam

so she is extremely famous well known in the industry there I've never seen her house

but I would imagine it's a pretty nice house

and the reason I bring that up is because the other night her

and I went out to dinner

and we were talking about you know just the differences between America and Vietnam and she was telling me that

last month or the month before

that her air conditioning bill only air conditioning bill was $1

,200 $1 ,200 is like 30 about 30 million BND can

you imagine spending 30 million BND just for your air conditioning just to keep your your house cool

that is that's crazy that is

so much money now don't get me wrong that's Los Angeles

you know around Beverly Hills in Hollywood like that's you know much much higher everything is much more expensive there

so the cost of living rent you're going to spend about eight to ten times as much

so many people when they move to america they try to get a roommate

which is always a good well not always a good decision

if the person's not not good

but getting a roommate is usually very helpful as long as you can you can trust the person

but if you have family uh

or anyone you can live with in america to where you don't have to pay rent

or just pay less rent that is always a a very good decision

when i talk to people about my career about my life here in vietnam they always ask like oh

when are you going back to america

and i'm like why the hell would i do

that you know i obviously i don't say it like that

but i tell them i plan to be in vietnam my my

which means forever so when i talk to people who are studying in college

or whatever i always ask them like oh after you get

out of college do you want to stay in vietnam

or do you want to live abroad and

so many people will be like oh i want to go to america

so i can get a high paying job

and i'm like bro okay sure you can get a high paying job in america

but your cost of living is going to be so high

that you're really not going to be able to save money

you're going to be basically living paycheck to paycheck depending on

what your job is you know as a police officer i my salary was good but the stress of you know, the danger of the job,

the things that I saw, you know, you see murder, suicides, rapes don't know

if i can say this on youtube

but anyways you know i just see the worst of the worst stuff it's very stressful

and for me no amount of money is worth

that kind of stress yeah and in miami you know of course you're going to see

and do a lot a lot a lot of stressful things

so the cost of living for transportation you know in america

it's a car culture it is not a motorbike culture taking

care of a car is unbelievably expensive bro tires are

so expensive getting an oil change is expensive

and time consuming uh getting gas is expensive

and time consuming you know it's not like a motorbike where you just pay a couple dollars

and you're good for a few days you know no no

getting gas in america is like you it can cost you

a hundred dollars for a hundred dollars is like 2 .5 million bnd uh you know

and that's going to last you a few days

and then you have to fill up again then you have

your insurance on your car insurance prices are very high you

know insurance I don't really know too much about insurance here in Vietnam I would imagine it's quite cheap

but in America it can be like a hundred

and fifty two hundred dollars a month just for your insurance then

if you get into an accident whether it's your fault

or not your insurance is gonna go up even higher

so it's crazy

so number one the cost of living would be my number

one reason why i would never go back to america even

if i was wealthy in america you know a famous actor

making millions of dollars i really wouldn't want to live there

compared to vietnam the only reasons i personally would go back

to america there's three specific reasons number one is my mom to visit my mom

and none of these reasons uh mean living there i'm only talking about going to visit okay

so number one is my mom my mom is really the only family i have in america her

and i are very close we talk every day

100

but she has skin cancer

101

so she cannot live somewhere with a tropical climate meaning like she cannot come to vietnam

102

and live and stay with me but she did come here

103

and visit like i think three years ago

104

and just 20 minutes of her being in the sun here her skin was

105

so red like it's very dangerous she has lupus

106

and essentially lupus is

107

if you're in direct sunlight for a certain amount of time like your organs will just start shutting down

108

so she lives in north carolina north carolina is a very

109

beautiful state very mountainous very it's kind of like how you

110

would have dalat here in vietnam that's kind of like what north carolina is

111

so my mom has a beautiful house on top of a

112

mountain overlooking you know everything around she can see the sunrise in the east

113

and the sunset in the west

114

so for her where she is it's perfect she can do all the stuff outside

115

that she wants with her garden because there's trees

116

and there's plenty of shade for her to do it safely

117

so anyways so my mom would be number one number two I would go back to America for filming

118

but I would only go there to film it would not

119

be to live uh i would go there i would do my filming

120

and then as soon as the filming is done it's like

121

all right buying a plane ticket back to vietnam bye bye

122

and then i would come back to vietnam

123

and i would just do whatever until i get another filming job in america

124

and then go back so that's reason number two reason number three would be to travel

125

because america is such a huge place.

126

You know, America is gigantic.

127

And there's so many beautiful areas to visit.

128

For me specifically, I want to go out west, which is where Yellowstone National Park is, the Grand Canyon.

129

What's the other one?

130

Yellowstone.

131

I forgot the name of the other one.

132

I'll put it right here.

133

But anyways, out there is just so unbelievably beautiful.

134

So for me, my one of my ultimate goals in life is to you

135

know have enough money to where I can go back to America rent an RV a nice RV

136

and then just travel around the country around you know all the national parks the Grand Canyon all of that

137

that is one of my life goals uh for sure like

138

you know one of my life goals was to become a professional actor in Asia well check I've done

139

that already so now it's time for me to start achieving other goals

140

and traveling out west in America whether it's with my girlfriend my wife family even alone

141

which I really wouldn't want to do it alone just

142

because it's like it's such a big area you're going to

143

be driving a lot I would want someone to talk to for sure

144

so that is reason number three that I would go back to America

145

and that's really the only reasons why I would ever consider going back there

146

so let's see what else do we have I have a

147

list of things i wrote phone bills you know paying for

148

a phone bill like here here in vietnam you you have like Vietnam Mobile.

149

mobi phone via tell all that is

150

so cheap like i don't even keep track of how much money i spend on it

151

because it's so cheap i spend i usually add like 200k vnd

152

which is like eight dollars and

153

that lasts me for about i want to say two months two months maybe even three months sometimes like especially

154

if you use wi -fi and here in vietnam everywhere has wi -fi

155

so phone bills in america can easily run you like a hundred dollars uh same with internet

156

if you have your internet set up at your house a hundred dollars it everything adds up

157

so quickly so yeah a cleaner uh having a cleaner in america is usually around like maybe 25

158

or 30 an hour uh now here in vietnam I have a cleaner

159

that I don't I don't use an app you know because

160

if someone's coming into my house to do whatever it needs to be someone

161

that is reliable and someone I can trust meaning like

162

if I have money in my house I don't want to

163

have to worry about like bro the person cleaning my house

164

today I don't really know them like you know the woman

165

that I have she's the kind of person where

166

if she finds money somewhere she will take a picture of it

167

and then she will take a picture of where she put the money for me to to get later

168

so she she charges me 100k per hour

169

and 100k is like four dollars or something like

170

that usually it takes her about two hours to clean my house

171

and she does a fantastic job so

172

if anyone ever needs a cleaner here in saigon i have

173

someone i can highly recommend she does a wonderful job all i do is i just message her

174

and say hey can you come tomorrow like she doesn't come

175

on a set day she just comes whenever I need her

176

and hey can you come tomorrow okay sure I'll be there done that's it she shows up

177

and then I just pay her you know usually once a month

178

or something like that

179

so yeah it's very cheap having a cleaner here is very

180

cheap all right let's talk about the traffic the traffic culture

181

in America is a car culture the traffic culture here in Vietnam is a motorbike culture

182

and here in Vietnam it's kind of like just do whatever you want just don't hurt anybody you know

183

which is very convenient but also a lot of times it's very stressful

184

so one thing i want to talk about is the police uh

185

and i want to be very careful how i how i say this

186

but as a police officer in america okay let's talk about

187

a speeding ticket okay very something very simple speeding ticket if you if i stop you for speeding in America.

188

You're going to get a ticket and I'm going to write you a court date.

189

Whatever date I give you, you have to show up for court.

190

You cannot be like, oh, I'm busy with work.

191

They don't care.

192

You better miss work and go to court.

193

And if you don't go to court on that date, they can issue an arrest warrant for you

194

and you will be arrested for not showing up for court that's called a bench warrant.

195

So getting a speeding ticket in America can be a very complicated and time consuming process.

196

If you have kids, you're going to have to get a babysitter to watch your kids while you go to court.

197

You know, you go to court, they're going to be like, okay, this is how much your fine is, please pay it at the window, you know, such and such.

198

So it's very, very time consuming.

199

That is what I love about Vietnam, is a lot of times, I would say even like 90 % of the time,

200

you can pay your fine on the side of the road.

201

And there's a lot of people that complain about that.

202

And I understand why, don't get me wrong.

203

I do understand why that is wrong.

204

But at the same time, coming from a police officer's view in America,

205

how complicated it is, I would much rather pay a fine on the side of the road

206

and then just continue my day much rather do that it's just

207

so much easier now when it comes to drinking

208

and driving things like that obviously

209

that is not something you can do here in vietnam

210

if you get caught you know you're going to lose your license you're probably going to go to jail

211

and you're going to get a big fine they do take

212

that very seriously

213

but in terms of like you know many other small things

214

just take care of it on the side of the road

215

and continue your day because if you do that in america for one

216

if you offer money to a police officer in america it's an immediate felony

217

and a felony you have different kind of trouble you can be in you have an infraction

218

which is something like you didn't use your turn signal

219

while changing lanes okay infraction is no problem misdemeanor is like

220

you're driving without a license okay that's a little bit bigger

221

a felony is like you know you rob someone you rob

222

a bank you rob whatever felony is like very high up

223

so if you try to offer money to a police officer even a dollar 10 cents

224

if you try it off offer money to a police officer

225

you get in big trouble you will go to jail they're

226

not just going to be like oh no you shouldn't do

227

that like no you're gonna go to jail for sure

228

so that's one thing i really appreciate about here in vietnam uh

229

but like i said i kind of have to be careful how i talk about

230

that so yeah that's just my opinion another reason

231

that i would never ever ever ever ever ever ever go back to america is the convenience

232

so like i said vietnam is a motorbike culture which means everything is designed around motorbikes so for example

233

coffee you know getting coffee in the morning it's so easy to just stop on the side of the road

234

they bring you your coffee you go literally it takes 30

235

seconds in america you have your car you can't stop on the side of the road

236

and get coffee like you can't do

237

that you need to find a parking lot

238

or somewhere where you can safely park unless it's like a drive -through something like

239

that so it's always very consuming

240

but here you know here in vietnam you just stop on

241

the side of the road like one coffee please you pay

242

50 cents you take your coffee you go same with food every morning not just morning all times of day

243

but specifically in the morning because they know

244

that lots of people are traveling for work they have kids they don't have time to cook

245

and a lot of people work nine to five jobs so they need cheap food.

246

Well street food is ideal for that kind of person.

247

So in the morning you can find anything you want on the side of the road.

248

Sushi, bún tét nún, căm tăm, pretty much anything.

249

And whatever you can't find you can always order on grab.

250

So convenience in Vietnam is always just a fingertip away.

251

What I mean by

252

that is you can use your phone for anything uh there's been many times

253

when like for example my girlfriend needed tampons

254

and i wasn't at home i was i wasn't able to go get them at the time

255

so i just open grab ordered tampons

256

and then she had them within like 10 minutes it's just

257

unbelievably convenient i went to the gym the other day i wear i wear contacts

258

and if i don't have my contacts it's a big problem i can't see

259

because my prescription is saudo uh six my prescription is negative six

260

so if i can't see it's a very big problem

261

if my contacts are dry it's a very big problem especially

262

when i'm on camera if i'm filming a movie

263

and there's fans going something like that it can dry my contacts very easily

264

and that's very irritating it's a very big problem

265

so i went to the gym

266

and i realized like oh i don't have my i don't have my eye drops

267

and i have to have specific eye drops from my contacts

268

so i realized like oh i don't have my i don't have my contacts like i need to leave

269

and go get whatever

270

and then i was like oh wait i live in vietnam

271

let me just order let me just order eye drops on grab

272

and so that's what i did and then 10 minutes later i had eye drops

273

and i was just thinking at the time like bro this is

274

so unbelievably convenient like the the convenience of everything in vietnam

275

is just mind -blowing the convenience of tourism of traveling of doing anything like you want to travel anywhere it's

276

so easy to get on a train it's

277

so easy to get on a bus order a grab bike order a grab car

278

if you drive yourself it's super convenient to do you can

279

get to the beach you can get to the mountains you can do whatever you want

280

so easily here vietnam is a very very very patriotic

281

and proud country

282

and as they should be you know they were ruled by you know i would say colonized uh

283

which is probably the better word they were colonized for thousands of years

284

and so now they are finally free

285

and they are themselves like they are being run by the

286

vietnamese they they have such a strong reason to be proud of the progress they've made

287

and where they are as a culture

288

so vietnamese are a very very proud country you know in america you have

289

so many woke people like regardless of oh i hate america

290

oh fuck the government you know fuck donald trump you know

291

oh america whatever you know in america you can say whatever you want

292

and you won't get in trouble it's not like

293

that in vietnam in vietnam you know if you talk bad about vietnam

294

or the country or the government it's not so much

295

that the government will get mad at you it's

296

that the people the citizens will feel disrespected in america it's not like that

297

if someone were to be like oh fuck america americans wouldn't

298

really care they'd be like oh yeah america okay bye

299

but here in vietnam like if i were to say something like

300

that like it would probably be the end of my career you know it's kind of like

301

that foreigner like many years ago this was before my time

302

i forgot his name i think his name was dan something like

303

that but he was very famous he was an english teacher spoke Vietnamese super well.

304

like i said he was very famous

305

and for whatever reason i don't i i i know the story

306

but i don't know the full details

307

but for whatever reason he decided to say some terrible things

308

about vietnam he said some stuff about uh oh who was

309

it i forgot i'll show it in the video now

310

but anyways he uh said some horrible things like things

311

that is not just career ending but like it's gonna make people hate you

312

and i have no idea why he would do that even

313

if you you hated vietnam like just be like oh i hate vietnam

314

and then leave but like no he like he said some stuff

315

that dropped an atomic bomb and boom so it wasn't

316

that the government punished him it was

317

that the whole country the citizens all turned on this guy

318

and news and everything in vietnam spreads

319

so fast you know everyone uses their phone for news for whatever like

320

if if a foreigner does something good in saigon people like

321

and it's on you know

322

and someone takes a video of it people in hanoi are

323

going to know about it within like an hour you know it's spread

324

so quick same with doing something bad like

325

if a foreigner does something bad in saigon like people in

326

hanoi are going to know about it within like five minutes you know news spreads

327

so quickly so everyone in vietnam turned on this guy

328

and was like get the fuck out of our country like

329

we don't want you here anymore you're disgusting you're blah blah

330

and i agree with that absolutely the things

331

that he said were just horrible horrible horrible things i couldn't imagine why he did

332

that or you know i i don't know i don't know

333

so for me as an actor i'm always on camera

334

so i'm always very careful about what I say even

335

if I'm making something as a joke I a lot of

336

times I have a habit in my life much before not

337

so much now but of speaking before I think

338

but here in Vietnam I have to think before I speak especially

339

when I say something in Vietnamese for example muh new ball

340

that means stupid like a cow okay so if you say

341

that to someone you might not be meaning it in a very mean way but saying

342

that to a vietnamese is unbelievably disrespectful very disrespectful like for

343

example someone does something someone leaves their phone you know out in the open where it can be stolen

344

and you say like oh moon you ball okay

345

that is super disrespectful like that person's gonna want to fight you

346

so i like saying moon you bob because it's funny

347

but i make sure i only say it about myself i never say it about someone else like for example

348

if i leave my keys in my bike

349

and i go into a coffee shop and do whatever

350

and then come back out

351

and the security guard's like oh your keys are here i'm always like oh doing new ball

352

and he just kind of laughs

353

but that's something i would only say about myself i would never say

354

that about someone else ever ever ever So Vietnamese are very proud, very patriotic.

355

They love their country as they should.

356

I mean, I love their country.

357

As everyone knows in the past, you know, Vietnam and America has a history and my country did some terrible, terrible things.

358

And for me to live here in Vietnam permanently

359

and feel as loved and as welcomed and as appreciated and as cared for as I do, it says

360

so much about the Vietnamese people these these people are some

361

of the kindest most understanding people I've ever met in my life

362

and I haven't traveled too much around the world

363

but I mean like I am okay with traveling

364

but Vietnamese are without a doubt the most kind and understanding people

365

that I've ever met like for example in traffic the way

366

I look at traffic is it's kind of like ants

367

if you ever look at ants when they're traveling across the ground in a line

368

or whatever you get the ants kind of doing whatever

369

and every now and then they bump into each other

370

and then they just kind of like go on their merry

371

way that's exactly how it is in vietnam as long as

372

it's not like serious damage for example the other day i was at an intersection a very dangerous intersection

373

because of construction

374

and i was going through it the same time another bike was going through we were both going slow

375

and we hit each other okay neither one of us said anything we just kind of like hit each other

376

and then kind of like okay all right

377

and keep going exactly like ants exactly like ants so

378

that is how i would describe traffic in vietnam is just

379

like a whole bunch of ants yeah now there are some myths about america

380

that i never realized were

381

so well -known until I until I started living here I forget you know I grew up in America

382

so I know America very well but 95 % of the population here,

383

unless they have family in America or unless they have traveled there before,

384

the only thing they know about America is what they see on the news, on TikTok, on TV, in movies, things like that.

385

And I always forget that.

386

A couple weeks ago or a couple months ago, I had a fan meeting in Hanoi and there was like 50 different people to show up to my fan meeting, which was awesome.

387

So shout out to all you guys.

388

I really appreciate that.

389

And at this fan meeting, one of the guys came up to me, you know, asked him for an autograph.

390

And then he's telling me like, hey, in a couple months, I'm actually going to be moving to Tennessee.

391

He was like, I'm going there to study or work.

392

I think he said study.

393

But anyways, he was like, oh, I'm going to Tennessee to study.

394

And I wanted to ask you, is there any tips you can give me so I don't get sued

395

and I thought that was hilarious like

396

that was one of the funniest things someone had asked me

397

and the reason it was so funny is

398

because he was totally serious he wasn't like making a joke

399

like oh how do I not get sued no it was

400

like hey bro like what do I do how do I not get sued

401

and it was then

402

that I realized like bro that's crazy like this is what Vietnamese think about America and

403

while yes people do get sued in America it's very like

404

oh I'm gonna sue you i'm gonna sue you i'm gonna

405

sue you just mind your own business you know don't piss

406

anyone off don't do anything you shouldn't be you'll be fine

407

so that was one thing that's one myth is

408

that you're gonna get sued for everything which could happen

409

but it doesn't mean you're actually gonna get in trouble uh

410

number two no you cannot just easily buy a gun now

411

yes guns are everywhere it is part of our history it's

412

part of our culture it's it's a part of who we

413

are it's in our constitution like everyone has the right to bear arms

414

which means everyone has the right to carry a gun as

415

long as you're not carrying it in an aggressive way i get lots of people

416

that ask me like oh i hear

417

that you can just walk into a store

418

and buy a gun it's like bro no you cannot do

419

that like of course you have to do paperwork of course

420

like they do do background checks uh now unfortunately there is a lot of crazy people

421

and people that have mental problems that do buy guns

422

and the the problem with that is

423

when buying a gun it's really hard to determine

424

if someone has negative or bad intentions like

425

if they've done something wrong in the past you will see it in the background check

426

and you will be like oh this guy you know committed

427

a crime with whatever like no we're not going to sell him a gun okay of course that's easy

428

but maybe someone is planning on doing something bad in the future

429

and they walk in and they're like oh hi yeah i want to buy a gun

430

and they're super nice

431

and they're smiling they do the paperwork you do the background

432

check they've never been in trouble okay well here's your gun

433

i mean you don't get it immediately like there is a

434

waiting period you're not just going to walk in a store

435

and walk out with a gun it doesn't work like

436

that it takes time and so anyways that person will eventually get their gun

437

and now someone with bad intentions has a gun

438

and that's what you will see in the news

439

so yes america is a gun culture but you cannot just show up anywhere

440

and buy a gun someone actually told me one time they were like oh i heard

441

that babies can buy guns

442

and i'm like bro babies don't even have money where are they gonna buy a gun with no money

443

so yeah anyways these are just some of the reasons why

444

I would never ever leave America for Vietnam here I feel so loved

445

and appreciated I feel more at home here in seven years

446

of living in Vietnam than I did my entire life living

447

in America in America I was a decorated police officer saving

448

lives saving multiple lives two of them I saved with CPR

449

and one with Heimlich maneuver and two of those were children

450

so I'm very proud of

451

that that's something i'm very very proud of people a lot of people ask me

452

when they talk about my police career they'll be like oh have you ever killed someone

453

but like no one ever asked like have you ever saved someone

454

and so for me no i've never killed anyone

455

but yes i have saved multiple people uh so

456

if there's ever an emergency

457

if there's ever anything i can handle the situation you don't have to worry about

458

that uh yeah

459

so anyways i just want to give a shout out to everybody in vietnam thank you

460

so much for helping me to achieve my dreams like you

461

know now i am an extremely famous actor here in vietnam

462

and my career is growing and growing and growing

463

464

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
