Last week we saw the end of the story in Saigon, but we’re not quite done with Vietnam yet.  This week we are proud to release the trailer for Season 5: Saigon.  If you’re new to the show, series or just a fan of the latest season I highly recommend checking it out.  It’s also a great way to introduce friends to the show (pass it along to friends!  it’s great karma).

NEW RELEASE HERE

If you’ve seen the whole season (or even if you haven’t) then give us some feedback.  What did you like?  What didn’t you like?  Favorite character?  Destination suggestion?  We want to hear it all – web@jetsetzero.tv.

And remember, passing the trailer along to friends now will make you look way cooler than waiting until we’re all over prime time TV and they’ve already heard of us.  So, hurry! Get on it!

With finances reaching the critical disaster zone Matt must forgo his spot in the guesthouse and find a home on the streets of Tokyo to save money.

Okay.  So, it has been a while.  More than three weeks, to be precise, which is exactly two weeks longer than it should have been since this episode was released.  A lot happened this month, from obvious hardware failures, to marauding ex-girlfriends, to rheumatoid arthritis, to hilariously weak immune systems, but the simple fact of the matter is that once upon a time none of this ever would have phased me.

In college I was known for my legen-(wait for it)-dary brute strength work ethic (which didn’t always result in creative successes, mind you), and through most of Season 1 I was operating on a moderated version of that same sleep:work ratio.  Either I’m getting old, the full New England winter (my first in almost a decade) was too harsh, or I’m experiencing a mild burnout.  Whatever the cause, I have only myself to blame.

So apologies all around: first and foremost to our viewers for making you wait so long to continue the story, but also to our crew who work so hard to capture this incredible footage on a daily basis.  There are some positive changes coming to the JS0 production office in the near future, but in the meantime I’m just going to try to buckle down and make this show keep happening, one way or another.

We made a lot of good friends during our time in Vietnam, but one of the best and most unexpected was Thao Trang.  Trang was in one of our general English classes, and asked us for weeks to go to her shows.  It took us awhile, but by the time we finally made it we realized what we were missing.  Trang is an incredibly beautiful and talented singer that really opened her life to us and showed us what Vietnam and Saigon were like for her.  This video lets you hear about her life, singing, and friendship with Jet Set Zero in her own words.

This is the music video that closes out our first season in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Check out Episode 9, or start from the beginning.

We’ve mentioned it before, but now it has it’s very own video.  We just arrived in Tokyo, and we’re looking for a new friend to join us.  Its simple: check out the video, and then apply here.
