I think it’s like the Russian stereotype Eventually the parent just hands their kid a bottle and goes “here, drink”

Dear Americans, Every country in the world doesn't have to abide by your norms.

To the people shocked by the drinking age thing, the most effective form of encouraging abstinence from substances is by teaching your children right from wrong, not by banning or age restricting the substance.

Correction: The reason you don't see a lot of traffic lights is that you're staying in the Old Quarter. This area is filled with short and narrow streets; installing traffic lights at these intersections would create traffic jams, so it doesn't make sense to do that. However, if you travel to other areas, you will find a lot of traffic lights.

I was in Vietnam almost 10 years ago and was shocked at not only the lack of traffic lights but also the lack of traffic accidents that I had assumed would’ve been the result of having no traffic lights 😅

Hi my friend, as in your video, communal water pipe is popular among northern community in the north of Vietnam. We call it "Ống điếu" which is an instrument for smoking a special kind of tobacco in Vietnam. Some foreigners thought that Vietnamese was using drug as they saw it for the first time but actually they are smoking tobacco. Thanks

them "water pipes" look like RPG-7 tubes. 😂😂😂

I lived and worked in Saigon AND Hanoi, love them both in dfferent, the whole country is awesome, cheap, great people, food, drinks, things to look at history, I love Vietnam

the area you stayed is for tourists, it’s old quarter which built 100 years ago. The minimum for drinks is controlled by parents mostly. In Vietnam sometime you see kid goes to buy alcohol for parents, doesn’t mean the kid bought for himself.

Vietnams official drinking age is 18
-
If you think it's a shock now you should have seen it in color at the age of 19 in 1969

Something that shocked me in vietnam is people just randomly asleep everywhere
-
Vietnam does have a legal drinking age which is 18, but they don't enforce the law that seriously.
-
It's the same in India for traffic signals and sidewalks.

In most Asian countries, children drinking alcohol is not a big problem. Most children don't like the taste of alcohol. On the other hand, Smoking is a big problem. ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

As a Vietnamese, i can confirm that we do have a drinking age which is 18 and that you are just exploring a part of vietnam that has smoking gears

1. That water pipe only popular in the Northern of Vietnam. 2. We have a lot of traffic lights. 3. Fact 4. Only adults over 18 can drink legally in our country.
