    if he didnt went to the hospital, he might not see that granny that guided him at that specific time. Truly a blessing in disguise
  • @sxp0137
    It’s that chicken bone you swallowed. Was a lucky bone lol, so you found the family so fast.
  • As an American the most amazing thing about this video is the walk in two hour emergency room visit that includes wait , consultation , and x ray. That's at least 6-8 hours here in the good old USA.
  • You do such great work reuniting Vietnamese families and promoting Vietnam. I enjoyed your videos since Day 1. I hope you catch a break and someone realizes the asset you would be to their business. Don't lose faith, something will happen soon, you deserve it.
  • @jasonnguyen5842
    Congratulation to that family reunion. I myself just got contact to my family about a month ago after 50yrs too.
  • Dude you need to post more videos. Just like the old days with old boy. Good times.
  • @SIG442
    Just wow, the driver sure deserves a extra bonus for this one. He pretty much delivered you to the front door of the right family! For new content, it comes when it comes, no need to rush. Rather spend more time and making sure it all looks great then have a rushed end product. Take care brother.
  • @pershop4950
    these reunion videos are always so sad but also happy. what i find fascinating is that the older generation has told the younger generation so much about the family members and family tree that even if they are so young that they never met, they still know who this person is. as far as vietnamese houses i've seen in rural areas go, i have to agree, their family seems to be doing much better now
  • @NaNgNg0
    The videos Kyle makes shows such a unique beauty of Vietnamese people. The fact that neighborhoods and villages have people who live there forever and really knew their neighbors really help in uniting family and friends together. Thanks Kyle 😊

    My brother in law is a Filipino and was in Vietnam during the war. He is in United State airforce. He was assigned to a C-130 Hercules plane that evacuate the Vietnamese babies. Also, most Vietnamese boat people ended up in the Philippines before transfering to the United States. There are so many Vietnamese in the Philippines after the war. The Philippines helps the boat people settle in Palawan and Bataan, then the United States took them all in the Mainland U.S.
  • @mrnarason
    The way the relatives spoke to each other after not meeting for decades was almost the same when I went to VN and my sisters who has been back for 20 years talked to our relatives. crazy stuff
  • @NguyenAndHoel
    born in 1988 in Norway, raised here by Vietnamese parents who came here as boat refugees. I have never been to Vietnam =( breaks my heart. I am a proud Vietnamese no matter what ppl say, Vietnamese blood and culture run through my veins and soul <3 I also got aunts and uncles who came to Norway but moved back to Vietnam in early 2000s. They live in Nha Trang and Rach Gia. My vietnamese is very broken, we only had vietnamese for 2 years in school, and I use my vietnamese like 2-3 times/year haha.
  • @ESL-O.G.
    Hi, Kyle. I live in Vietnam now, teaching in Lao Cai. Near Sapa! I was watching your videos for many years before I came here. Thanks, man.
  • Kyle: I really felt a twang of regret that I lost in a fire the only picture/address of a lady who worked on Bien Hoa Air Base 1968-1969. Her name was Huong and was from Cho Lon outside Saigon, I lost contact when I was discharged from the Army and my buddy who was still in VietNam lost my Mothers address. I am alive today because she looked after me and helped me through some rough times in Bien Hoa. I never forgot her and think of her almost daily. Your work is the Lord's work and keep doing it; your reward is the faces and happiness I saw in this video. I wish I could have been more helpful to her and possibly made a difference in her life. Looking forward to the reunion of subject family and your future videos. Stay safe.
  • @lt5359
    Ride the wave. No one deserve more blessing than you do. Don't forget that.
  • @PurpleIsBored
    This video makes me miss vietnam so much, I went back last year after over 18 years since my first trip there. Family is such an important thing in Vietnamese culture. Good on you for helping someone with theirs.
  • @annak2756
    I'm a Vietnamese-American myself living abroad right now and I enjoy your videos immensely. I truly hope you're able to find gigs that will fund your passion. I look forward to Cô Nga's family reunion video.
  • @cscss2923
    It's great that you're hustling, but all those gigs you mentioned aren't stable and indie/circuit filmmaking can even be a money sink on average. What about starting an agency to reunite families? Hire a few employees, and I can see you turning this into something lucrative (if there aren't tons of competing agencies like this already). You seem to be developing a nice reputation with folks seeking out your services, so you'd be skipping one of the hardest parts of starting up a new business. The family docs can naturally be part of the business. Lots of luck!
