Hi, I'm Shu, a food and travel content creator on YouTube. This is my first
Multi-Centre holiday with TUI and my first time in Vietnam. What is a Multi-Centre holiday you say?
Well, it's the perfect way of experiencing different cities in one destination.
They organise everything from the transfer to and from the hotel,
They organise all of the hotels and tours, so all you have to do is just hop on and enjoy the experience.
So I'm excited to show you along with me and eat all the food,
soak up all the culture and see what Vietnam has to offer.
Right so I'm going to make my first proper Pho as taught by our guide. That is so light and delicious.
Oh my god. And its spicy - it's got a kick - but it's not too spicy. And the meat is so tender and the noodles are so bouncy, light and amazing. I'm gonna finish this now and be a very happy girl.
So I'm about to have my first ever tailoring experience and everything is custom-made here.
It's going to fit like a glove. There are loads of different fabrics to choose from in lots of different patterns and colours.
So I am very excited to get my first ever dress made, so let's get going.
This is my first ever custom-made dress.
It's even more beautiful than I imagined it and I can't believe that only took
two days to deliver and to make this.
Okay, we're going to the rooftop bar called Shri
It's on the 23rd floor, let's go. This is gorgeous.
When you think of Vietnam many people may associate it with the war that
happened between 1954 and 1975. The Vietnamese call it the American War whereas
the Americans call it the Vietnamese War. And though the country has excelled since then
it's important to recognise the hardships they faced. So today we're
outside the War Remnants Museum and we're gonna get a little bit more insight into what
happened during this important part of history.
Okay, so what's behind me is an open-air food market full of local produce. We've
got everything from vegetables, fresh fish, duck, chicken, fruit, everything and
it's where all the locals come and shop and buy all of their groceries for the week.
It's absolutely huge. I see the river right behind me as well. Fantastic.
Fantastic.
We've arrived in Hanoi
We are currently at cafe called Serejn Cafe and it is the spot to be at to
see the best view of Long Bien Bridge, which is behind me right now. You can
watch the craziness unfold from here. But anyway, I'm about to go enjoy it and
also take you out and show you how egg coffee is made, so let's go.
Okay so we've enjoyed the egg coffee and now it's time to watch a water puppet show.
We went around all the districts and the streets earlier and a really cool thing about Hanoi - and I
think it really only happens in Hanoi - is that each streets specializes in
something. So, we went to Metal Street, we went to Paper Street, we went to Bamboo Street,
Rice Street and when you go down there they'll only sell that one thing.
So if you went to Bamboo Street they'll only sell bamboo and if you wanted to buy a pot
then they'll be like, just got to that specific street. And I thought I was really really
cool. A nice community vibe about that.
Good morning everyone, that was probably one of the best night's sleep I've had
in a long time. It must be something to do with being on the water. But now we
are up bright and early - so at 6:00 am - and we are going to do a spot of sunrise
Tai Chi on a boat over Halong Bay, so yeah it's gonna be very chill,
very zen after this. Let's go.
