01:29 Coming from the airport, I didn't feel weird.

01:31 Actually being the... I was literally the only black person on board.

01:35 I didn't feel uncomfortable from the immigration, getting grabbed, coming here.

01:40 I took bike as well from my hotel here and actually it's pretty safe.

01:43 When I think so far, Vietnam is very easy to come to.

01:48 Getting the visa for Nigeria, to get e-visa and it was pretty seamless.

01:51 So far, yes, I feel very safe.

01:54 Walking along the, yeah, the different streets,

01:58 whether in the morning, afternoon or in the evening.

02:01 Not a lot of people are, you know, bothering me or stopping me.

02:09 So I feel very comfortable walking around on my own, yeah.

02:14 Vietnam is really safe, I feel, compared to other countries I've been to.

02:17 There's always lots of people around even at night time.

02:21 So that's something that always gives me comfort.

02:24 There's always police stations pretty close to where you are, which is great.

02:27 And yeah, in general people are very friendly.

02:31 I found there's less scams here than there is in other parts of South Asia.

02:35 So there's not as many people coming up to you on the street and trying to scam you.

02:40 [Music]

02:58 Vietnamese people are willing to help because, let's say,

03:03 I want to find a local shop or what is the recommendation,

03:07 like where to go, and then they will tell you, direct you on where to go,

03:13 what is recommended by the, let's say, local people.

03:18 So the other day I was just trying to cross the street and it's very busy.

03:22 But someone selling coconut water helped me to cross the street.

03:27 So very friendly.

03:28 And I think, I feel the people are very welcoming.

03:34 And it's a very vibrant vibe in the city.

03:39 Well, the only transport that I've been using is Grab mainly.

03:43 But it's very easy to use on the app.

03:46 And the Grab drivers are also very friendly and helpful as well.

04:39 which is quite a popular one here, specifically for the city of Hanoi,

04:42 that will help women specifically only be more comfortable about staying here.
