After two months in production, 6 cities, and over 3,850km, my summer adventure is coming to an end. It would only be fitting to write this conclusion episode to sum up the takeaways I gathered from my summer experience. In this final episode, I will be discussing three main themes that I have noticed throughout my summer adventure: the fluidity of “change,” the role that Vietnamese history has in the formation of national ideology, and the displacement of ideals and its bigger implication on...

Episode 12: Saigon 2 - Ben Thanh Market and the Role of the "Marketplace"
In this episode, we will explore the history of Ben Thanh Market, what its function is, as well as the perception of the market from the people who work within them. As this is one of the last episodes, I will examine, from the perspective of a Viet native, what really is the definition of a “marketplace.” Throughout my summer adventure, I have had the chance to visit many different markets around the country; all of them are unique in their own way but all of them, when looked at together, s...

Episode 11: Hanoi - The Evolution of Northern Cuisine

I embarked on a cuisinal journey to explore the essence of Northern Vietnamese through food. In this episode, we will explore different famous eateries and dishes in Hanoi and how the evolution of Northern cuisine can reveal a bigger picture about the Vietnamese Narrative. The evolution of Northern Vietnamese food, how it is a mixture of adop...

Episode 10: Sapa 2 - Tribal Lives and Tribal Circumstances
On my third day in Sapa, I decided to take a walk around Ta Phin village to take in the scenery in the area. A side road extends off the boulevard, which leads into the village and points towards Suoi Ho, an adjacent town. I decided to walk down that path and see where it leads. Walking past a traditional Dao house, I met two Dao women that were walking in the same direction as I was. During our three-hour walk to Suoi Ho, they provided me with insight into what tribal village culture in the ...

Episode 9: Sapa 1 - A Descriptive Introduction
I returned from my trip to Buon Me Thuot where I had a couple of days to prepare for my last trip of the summer: a two-week long excursion up North to Sapa and Hanoi. This two-week trip would prove to be the adventure of a lifetime anyone could ever ask for. Hanoi, the historic capital of Vietnam, is known for its rustic Northern cuisine as well as old temples, monuments, as well as ancient lakes. Sapa, the picturesque small town near Lao Cai and the border with China, is known for its stairc...

Episode 8: Buon Me Thuot 2 - Stilt House Culture and Urbanization
I went to three villages, or Buôn as they are called in Vietnamese in Buon Me Thuot: Buôn Buôr, Buôn Kuốp, and Buôn Akô Đhông. Three of these villages are all within the same central Vietnamese area and are all in Dak Lak province. However, three of these villages are all fundamentally different. Over this episode, I summed up what I found out about all three villages and I noticed how they are all different as well as a trend that links them up. The comparisons of these three villages ...

Episode 7: Buon Me Thuot 1 - The Exile House
The Buon Me Thuot Exile house was built by the French government from 1930-1931 to isolate, quarantine, and imprison political figures including leaders of the Xo Viet Nghe Tinh revolution as well as liberationists. The French government had to build the Exile House in the middle of the city to publicly and ruthlessly punish the revolution leaders. To many locals and Vietnamese natives alike, this important historical site is a reminder of how far Vietnam has come after over 30 years of const...

Episode 5: Quy Nhon 2 - A Soldier's Wartime Message
Returning to Quy Nhon, there was one person whose stories I am determined to record: my grandpa, Mr. Bien. At 92 years old, he had lived through over 39 years of war against the French, Americans, as well as other minor auxiliary forces. Throughout his time, he has served all ranks in the military from soldier to commander. This episode will be dedicated to his memories and experience during the war, the lessons he learned from being a soldier, and the message he has to today’s youth. He said...

Episode 6: Saigon 1 - The Saigon Post Office
The Saigon Post Office is one of the most famous building works in Saigon, carrying significant historical meaning and evidence of the development of Saigon urban society into Western models of urbanity (more specifically French). The repurposed post office reflects the intersectionality in the ways Saigoneers reflect the change in the city and is indicative of the change within the Vietnamese narrative. The post office seemingly lies within the intersection between “the old ways” versus “the...

Episode 4: Quy Nhon 1 - The Vietnamese Train
Though largely fading into Vietnamese societal oblivion, the train is a symbol of the Vietnamese narrative. Just several decades ago, when air travel and roads weren’t as developed, the train was considered the main mode of transportation. To many at the time, their viewpoints of how they see the train is like the viewpoint of many today and how they see air travel: it was the way to go. Perhaps Vietnamese society had moved on from the train. The history of the train, the station, and t...

Episode 3: Phu Quoc 2 - The Ham Ninh Pier Bridge
In 2020, the Phu Quoc government decided to tear down the Ham Ninh pier over safety fears that it might collapse at any moment. The bridge was deemed unsafe only a short period after several nearby restaurants’ construction was completed, prompting some locals to question why the bridge was going to be torn down. What makes this story so interesting was the mixed responses that it received from the Ham Ninh locals. Some protested the tearing down of the bridge because it was the symbol of the...

Episode 2: Phu Quoc 1 - The Rise of Tourism
In the early 2010s, hotel chains and resort groups raced to build their hotels on the sandy, emerald-watered coasts of Phu Quoc island. Projects to build resort buildings, casinos, tourist attractions, and cable cars were accelerated as tourism thrived. Phu Quoc is experiencing a new life. This episode is the first of two episodes in Phu Quoc that will explore the effects of tourism on the island. Tourism can be seen as a double-edged knife: it provides jobs for workers on the islands and imp...

The Vietnamese Narrative with Nhan Phan
Episode 1: Introduction
Welcome to the Vietnamese Narrative Podcast. On April 30, 1975, Saigon had been ceded to the Viet Cong, ending just under 20 years of conflict between the Communist-backed Northern government and the US-backed Southern government. The two halves of the country, then, were unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Ever since the war, Vietnam has evolved into the country that it is today: a modern, developing, and beautiful country. But there is something that feels innately missing from th...
