This podcast covers everything related to Vietnam. Topics include food, travel, society, culture, history, contemporary issues and everything else. Mainly I document some events on my Youtube channel called August 8. I post photos on 2 Instagram accounts and my main account is called "Augustmagni" where daily stories are published. On my second account called "Batshitcrazyfoody" I post pictures of food, both home cooked and eating out.

Today we are discussing about the housing market and whether it is easy or not to find accommodation in Vietnam. We put emphasis on apartments for rent and only briefly touch upon buying real estate in Vietnam.
Today we are talking about the traffic in Vietnam. Is it really as crazy as some people say? Or are there more layers to it? The traffic in Vietnam works in a unique way and we are analyzing it today.
Today we are discussing about the writing system used in the Vietnamese language. As of today, Vietnamese is written with a latin-based script, but it has not always been like that. Today we are briefly going through the history of the writing system up until the contemporary era.
I'll discuss the main accents of Vietnamese and also give some examples of commonly used words and expressions.
Today we are discussing the Vietnamese language. We'll break this topic down into a few parts and this episode is going to be about grammar, tones and general info about the language.
In this episode we talk about one of the most famous dishes in Vietnam, Phở. It has spread to many countries and is especially popular in the anglo-sphere. We also touch upon the never ending debate regarding which Phở is better, Northern or Southern.
Today we discuss about some similarities and differences regarding behaviour. Queuing etiquette and keeping your cool. Is it considered civilised to form a queue and follow it but arc up in traffic over trivial matters? What is civilised behaviour? I briefly touch upon these topics in today's episode.
In today's episode we are covering Vietnamese values and more specifically around the importance of family. Vietnam has a long-standing tradition of respecting elders and worship ancestors. At the end of this episode I will tell a short story about a homeless 91- year old woman. My girlfriend and I reached out to this old woman with some money to hopefully make her everyday life a bit easier.
