This video which is describing asia seems very fantastic. The Traffic part and the bike parking without car parking part described in the video is fascinating. I couldn’t believe that part.
Photos captured by Andrew lock that were shown in the video were Outstanding. Overall
the video is good!

June 7th, 2012 at 3:13 am
Quiet funny and interesting video. Shocked to know that there is no parking space for cars. The narrator,Andrew Lock has covered most of the Asian outlook. SNAKE WINE.., Yak!! feel horrible to imagine. He is given an excellent overall view about the business deals these days. By the way the huge ship looks amazing.
June 7th, 2012 at 3:20 am
nice in-depth view of the places. Was really surprised to see the “sea of bikes” in Vietnam; and even more surprising were the things carried by people on the bikes.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:10 am
I was actually very surprised how glued I was to this video. I do think it was very entertaining. Vietnam is portrayed beautifully and the War Museum story really tickled me. It really makes you realise how ‘rich’ we are when you see how poor they are. Although the roads are very scary!! Good job!
June 7th, 2012 at 4:13 am
Funniest one but this is actual overview of Asia.The entire video is much informative.Presenter’s style of expressing thing is amazing.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:29 am

June 7th, 2012 at 7:04 am
Asia tour is interesting, motor bike seen was interesting but dangers as well, pop corn ,and sank in jar oh my GOD, ships in this video is good and amazing. enjoyable video and interesting information.

June 7th, 2012 at 7:37 am
Nice to see how this culture live. Love that they use bikes to get around, very enviornment freindly! (though not through choice).
Lol at the American war crimes musseum, maybe they will make one for Tony Blair aswell :S
Overall great video, really beauitful places, would love to travel to Asia for a month! would give the cruis a miss though I think.
June 7th, 2012 at 7:42 am
This was interesting, i never thought a communist country like China would build a disneyland, a western symbol ; guess the communists are not that close minded as i thought. Eventually China will become a democracy im guessing, same with the rest of the countries who are still dictatorial.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:10 am
This is very interesting, Travelling to Vietnam and Hong Kong is really good to watch. The war museum story really touched me. The presentation helped to understand it easily. Overall its really awsome.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:11 am
Wow…. I have never thought of Vietnam to be so cool and beautiful ,before watching this video. This video clip presented some really good stuffs, why we should consider Vietnam and also Hong Kong as one of the Asia’s tourist destination… Really awesome… and I loved it how it was presented…. good work..
June 7th, 2012 at 8:48 am
I needed this info for some school paper and this video has the info in a very interesting way. I was so surprised to know how different things you could transport with a bike also I am always fascinating by tall buildings. keep up with the good work
June 7th, 2012 at 8:58 am
Interesting, very interesting, cruise ship crash and all. I really enjoyed the low keyed delivery. Most promotional videos seem to push information at you. This video gently presented a lot of valuable information in a very casual manner, yet it held my interest right through. I would now try to do a trip like this for myself. Thanks
June 7th, 2012 at 8:59 am
Very impressive video.. and i am sure that my wife will be happy to visit Vietnam and Hong Kong with me. this travel video is really good.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:02 am
I loved this second part of Asia tour so much. Once my friends went to Vietnam and they said it was great! Now I see way. I would love to go to Vietnam cause I’m a bike lover, also I would like to visit the Vietnam Palace.
P.S I watch your episodes ! So keep it going
June 7th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Its really beautiful..I can’t still believe that such really beautiful places are there in Asia,especially in Vietnam and Hong Kong..!! the video was indeed very helpful one to me as I had to preapre a seminar on ASIAN DESTINATIONS..hues of gratitude for your great work…!!
June 7th, 2012 at 9:28 am
And this is exactly why the Cruise industry is struggling.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:07 am
This is a very interesting video. The first part of the video ,travel to Vietnam is fascinating. By this short video I got a brief idea about the life in Vietnam. The presenter is presented this very nicely.
The second part about Hongkong is also very fascinating. I am surprised by the tall buildings in Hongkong.
Congratulation and thank you for this amazing video.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:11 am
Nice guest talk about Vietnam and the people and the transportation and the muesum, The unseen parts are explain by him is really interesting and his is clearly telling the experience. good video to watch
June 7th, 2012 at 10:43 am
It is the real beauty,the beauty of nature… Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees. it I see this video that time i think JOHN KEATSl words “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness.”
June 7th, 2012 at 10:48 am
Kudos! Very informative. I’m sure viewers are gonna like to see, for real, the places you have featured on this video. Your presentation is simple and easy to comprehend. I hope you could add more videos on different categories that I AM gonna follow. Thanks and you rock!
June 7th, 2012 at 11:08 am
This was recommended by my bro to watch this video, I got so interested to see that place in vietnam where houses made to float.
This is really informative and Im surely going to check out your next post.
Thanks.
June 7th, 2012 at 11:43 am
Andrew.
A great thanks to you for presenting this video on Asia tour. The most remarkable thing is the keen observation and great analysis about the people and the community of Vietnam and Hongkong. The culture,sociology, and economic conditions of these two countries are completely different. I have been mesmerized by your unique presentation. Above all, the story of cruise crash is very much interesting.
We expect more video from you so that we can enrich our knowledge.

June 7th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Very nice video . Veitnam and Honk Kong are very nice places to visit . This video is very informative . I’m a bike lover . So I very love this place .
June 7th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
truly an interesting video!
Vietnam & Hong Kong has been presented beautifully, simple street wise travel, now that’s hard to find! Keep up the good work! Asia travels is awesome! 
June 7th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
I grew up in Taiwan and am very familiar with SE Asia. It’s always good to know that non-Asians are interested in getting to know Asia/Asian. Andrew, you sure bring the world closer to your followers. Very nice comments about Asia/Asian which I appreciate very much. I’m also glad you and your wife (and the rest of the people on the cruise) were save from the encounters.
Thank you for sharing your opinion about Asia.
June 7th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
This was spectacular to watch ! More and more people should see this fascinating clip, something that should be shared through our social media channels. Andrew, outstanding images. The content makes you want to drop everything and visit these places, exploring more then just Vietnam and Hong Kong, but exploring life.
June 7th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
this is a lovely and fascinating video. It makes me want to visit Vietnam, and I learned some interesting things about the culture. Very well done and informative.
June 7th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Tne travel to hong – kong and Vietnam was very interesting. I found such beautiful places only in this video. I am interested to visit the places.
June 7th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Fascinating video, very curious and interesting to watch this video. I am happy to visit such places. Will soon visit these places in direct. Places of interest in Hong-Kong and Vietnam are beautiful to visit.
June 7th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
Hey…Nice video,i enjoy it very much and think is very useful.
June 7th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Well i think this video was very eduicaticational and i learned alot from it, and when i find another video similar to this one i will want to watch it because this one was soo fun, and eduicational.
June 7th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
very interesting video,I am eagerly waiting to visit this parts.The road crossings are very interesting.Ship incident is also interesting.thank you very much for this video,really enjoyed.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
I enjoyed this video very much. Your ship experience must have been scary. This video taught me alot about Asia as a whole. I had no idea they had a Disney World of there own. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
This is the first video tour I have ever seen of one’s trip to Asia, and I found it quite witty and insightful! Most interesting is the cultural blend of modernism and history. Andrew seems to have a profound reverence for this culture and did a nice job representing the uniqueness of the people and their resources. Americans are always wanting material things with short-lived satisfaction, so it was interesting to see how the Vietnamese are happy with the limited possessions they have. What a crazy story about the cruise ship in Ha Long Bay!
June 7th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
I really enjoyed this video. It somewhere I would not think to go, but may be putting it on the list thanks to you.
Vincent
June 7th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
Good marketing advice and interesting trip to Asia. Saigon is my favorite city in Vietnam, although I got hit by a bus there! I haven’t been to the Hong Kong Disneyland but if it’s anything like the one in Orlando, it must be awesome. Cheers and hope to see more videos soon!
June 7th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Well, I really love this video because I like to learn about different cultures. One of the things that seem funny to me is seeing the motorcycles carrying bunch of stuff on them because in my country I have seen that too! Hahahah! I also like the beautiful scenes about the communities on the water, wow! it was outstanding.
Thank you for sharing with us this video.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
All Hong Kong in 15 minutes WOW.Amazing video.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
nice video…but I got something on my mind for a long time…is it possible that cantonese people(hong kong) were once viet people or vice-versa? because they are both dark skin in general, short and their dial tone for both languages sound simular. Not to mention vietnam(i dont want to offend anyone but it is just a fact) was once part of china.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:55 pm
The pictures and storyline of this video are good. However, it is annoying to watch this video due to the bad reception. Every few seconds, the footage of the speaker stops and does not resume for several seconds.
June 7th, 2012 at 11:02 pm
andrew!!!!!! it is very amazing to see the second part video of asia tour……..first thing comes to my mind after watching this video is that feeling ashamed as being asian i couldn’t have a chance to explore asia……as a marine engineer i feel scntillating to see that huge passenger vessel…..hong kong & vietnam seems to be busiest places in the world!!!THANKS A LOT LOCKY for this presentation…….
June 7th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
I am an Asian, and never ever seen such beauty around. I feel embarrassed really,that i was blind to such scenic beauty around. This is of course an appreciable piece of work. Hats off to you man. The presentation is amazing.A tour within 15 mts
This is simply GREAT!!!!!!
Keep it up.. All the very best
June 8th, 2012 at 12:29 am
WOWWW………this is extremely amazing… I am a person who always love travelling and for me this is the the right stuff for me.. Thanks alot man !
June 8th, 2012 at 12:54 am
The traffic is heavy due to heavy population and lot of bikes on road comparing from other contries. motorcycles carrying bunch of stuff on them because in my country
June 8th, 2012 at 1:36 am
This video is really amazing i liked it very much.particularly the ship thing.
June 8th, 2012 at 1:40 am

June 8th, 2012 at 3:55 am
Nice video with cartoons explaining about the experience of different locations
June 8th, 2012 at 4:23 am
Vietnam reminds me of Pune. It is a mid-sized city here, quite famous for IT. Anywhere you look, you’ll find hundreds of bikes and scooters. People prefer them to public transport and cars because they’re compact and great for the narrow winding roads of the city.
June 8th, 2012 at 4:30 am
It was a great video with a lot of information for people who would like to travel to Vietnam and Hong Kong
June 8th, 2012 at 4:42 am
i am an asian guy and i like this video very much. Absolutely this part of Asia travel to Vietnam and Hong Kong is interesting to watch.
June 8th, 2012 at 4:48 am
it was really amazing……i was fascinated and i cant believa about the bike filled roads and couldnt stop laughing when you told us how to cross the road among those .
June 8th, 2012 at 4:58 am

Andrew lock’s is a very inteligent person.
He choosed very good way for marketing his business and as well as he is developing his site.
June 8th, 2012 at 10:54 am
Great show, as always. I’d like to visit Asia after watching the show. I love the three little pig dumplings at Disney World. Looks like a fun trip.
June 8th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Interesting travel show Andrew. Based on your amazed reaction to Vietnam, it sounds like you haven’t yet been to India. Now there is a truly fascinating place to visit! I look forward to your videos from there!
June 8th, 2012 at 11:36 am
Bravo! More! Will be forwarding this to nephew who is a superintendent at a large high school and several teacher friends – Andrew, you consistently amaze and inspire growth in your audience – thank you – thank you – thank you!!!
June 8th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
I’m really inspired with your writing abilities and also with the structure for your blog. Is this a paid subject matter or did you customize it your self? Anyway keep up the nice high quality writing, it’s rare to peer a nice blog like this one today..
June 8th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Hi theherbalist,
Thank you for your kind words, and welcome to the show! I’ve been doing these episodes since 2008, and the subject matter is all original.
Thank you
Andrew
June 9th, 2012 at 7:46 am
Wonderful change from your regular … wonderful shows! So many of us remember the horrid images of people trying to get helicoptered out of Saigon on the last days before the fall of the government. Your images provided a form of closing brackets. Thank you!
June 9th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Hi theherbalist,
The video gives so much information rather than their living culture.
June 9th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Very Nice Video and awesome. Really i Enjoy Much
June 9th, 2012 at 10:12 pm

June 17th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Enjoyed your explanation of your trip. I was surprised about the accident and the news report so quickly. I am just getting started, and am excited about the experience. Thanks, M
June 19th, 2012 at 10:47 am
A video worth watching! The video is so fun and it did really depict ASIA! The buildings, the BIKES– so ASIA! I have been to some parts in Asia, especially Vietnam and Hongkong and this video reminded me a lot of my time there plus Andrew Lock hosted the show well! Makes me wanna go back to Asia again! Definitely watching more Andre Lock’s videos!
June 19th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Very nice
Cool video
August 4th, 2012 at 4:42 am
Andrew – you really should think about doing a travel show as well. No one looks at travel from a customer service perspective. It would be unique – as are all your other ventures.
