It's like North and South Korea. South, like Ho Chi Minh, is all built up and modern and the North is like a little bit backwards. But fuck, I like Hanoi way better.
David Boyle is back with another hilarious and candid episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', this time broadcasting from the bustling streets of Hanoi. Boyle dives into the vibrant culture of Vietnam's capital, contrasting it sharply with the quieter, more subdued atmosphere of his home country, Australia. He raves about the city's liveliness, the delicious street food, and the warm-hearted locals who seem to genuinely adore children—a stark difference from what he's used to back home.
Boyle also marvels at the fitness levels of the Vietnamese people, noting how everyone, from elderly grandparents to young kids, appears to be in great shape. His observations on portion sizes and diet offer a humorous yet insightful take on why this might be the case. He doesn't shy away from sharing his mixed feelings about tourist hotspots either, describing a visit to the famous train street in Hanoi where bars and cafes line the tracks.
In typical Boyle fashion, he shares an amusing anecdote about a family foot massage that didn't quite go as planned but ended up being a unique bonding experience nonetheless. The episode wraps up with Boyle reflecting on his first impressions of Hanoi compared to Ho Chi Minh City, appreciating the city's character and the apparent happiness of its residents.
Boyle's comedic touch and raw honesty make this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about life in Vietnam or simply looking for a good laugh. His reflections on sobriety, culture, and family life provide a refreshing and entertaining perspective. Why not join Boyle on his journey and see Hanoi through his eyes? You might just find yourself laughing out loud and pondering your next travel destination.
