the light says it's green up there but every bike is just going
[Music]
good morning from Vietnam we're in Ho Chi Minh city today and it's my first day here my first
impressions of this crazy city this city has so much energy so much traffic so much food
right now I want to head to breakfast and I want to go to this special like Barnaby place
because I've heard it's like one of the best places in the city so I'm just walking there
now I think it's only about five minutes but we've got to try and cross the road
it's a bit chaotic here I know you just have to walk but it looks a little bit crazy but
it looks good we're just gonna go oh easy I think throughout the day there will be more
traffic more energy more going on especially at night I think it's quite a big like night
market place so yeah let's go have a look oh the Barnaby place should just be around this
corner and yeah it's supposed to be a real famous place here so let's go check it out
yellow
so here we have the Barnaby Hong how I think that's how you say it I'm probably saying it
wrong this is going to be my first Barn of me in Vietnam and I'm so excited it cost 38 000 dong
which if you get confused by the currency remember Millions aren't actually Millions like in USD but
yeah let's give this a go so here we go my first Barn of me just on the streets of Ho Chi Minh
oh wow that's not just a French baguette that's actually really tasty the meat's actually cold
but there's a really nice ton of spice and kick to it honestly I'm not sure if this is
more a traditional breakfast it might be I just don't know but it's so good honestly I rate the
bottomy so much I almost want to go and get a second one now it's got good Spice in it it's
like good Asian French kind of mix I love it I don't know why but there is a chicken here
uh no idea why there's just a random Chicken on the street England yeah
maybe later but right now I'm I want to walk that guy was just trying to end up taking me
on a little motorbike tour in the end but I don't really want to do that now but maybe
later that could be cool I just want to find a coffee and relax a little bit right let's
try and cross the street because it's a green man so that's my sign to go oh
look it's a green man but everyone's still going a little bit crazy
hello how are you good what's the best coffee oh it's the best coffee yeah can
I have the coffee condensed milk I'll have a medium please [Music]
this coffee is really good so it's filtered coffee it's not like a machine or anything
but I think that's traditionally how they do it obviously they didn't used to have machines ages
ago I went through it with condensed milk which is obviously makes it super sweet but I think if
it was just black coffee it would be a little bit intense and strong for me so yeah but this
is so good and I got it ice because you know it's hot here in Ho Chi Minh I definitely want to try
and get some sort of top or hat or something just because I think it'll be cool hopefully
I do like Vietnam because I think I might get something with Vietnamese or something on it
should I get one of these Vietnamese will happen could be cool there's a few different options but
I am liking this one this bucket had quite a lot Hi man can I have you not really yeah hello I've
realized on the outskirts there's actually fixed price signs on the ceiling and so they
don't actually hassle you at all because it's a fixed price but it there you go fixed price
it's quite cool I know I've just had a coffee but the air smells so good just a puppy they
sell so many different things here from bags jewelry watches everything it's actually crazy
um but I think I want to I think I kind of liked
that hat so I might try and have a look at one see how much it is
yeah I think I'll go for this one yeah yeah and it's 86 000. yeah yeah I've done it I've bought
the Hat the Vietnam hat is on for the rest of the trip of Vietnam here we go I think we're
in the wet market now because there's like loads of meats and fishes out there's like
live crabs over there it's quite crazy I need to head back to the hotel just to chill out and
relax a little bit and then we'll go out later we are back out it's a later afternoon now and
that's a loud music so that was some excessively loud karaoke honestly I think they love karaoke
here because I've heard it a few times already and but I want to head to Chinatown apparently
it's one of the biggest chinatowns in the world here in Ho Chi Minh which makes sense because
it's quite close to China but yeah we're gonna go there check it out see what it's like yeah yeah
welcome
[Applause]
okay guys so we have just arrived in Chinatown and I think this is probably a very very local massive
Chinatown because it didn't look on the way there was like suddenly no Torres no nothing and yeah
I'm just gonna have a little look around see what we can find but over here look pretty developed
this little bit but then a bit older over there there is so much traffic here like this is the
time of the day where it really kind of builds up but all honesty in terms of Chinatown everything
seems like it's in Vietnamese and Chinese like it's quite interesting and the architecture is
definitely different but I wouldn't say there's loads to do here it's quite cool walking around
looking at stuff but apart from that there's there's nothing to do I think I'm walking towards
this kind of pagoda thing I'm guessing this is kind of the Pagoda or Chinese architecture
not sure if we're allowed to go in can I go inside yeah thank you whoa
this looks quite interesting this is so cool this looks like such old architecture look at all the
detail up here and you've got this furnace in the middle unfortunately everything's in Vietnamese so
I might have to look up online what this means and what this is because this is so cool looks
like they've got some incense here maybe towards blessing to a gods or something I'm not sure
thank you [Music]
so I just finished off the temple and that was really cool actually I wasn't
expecting anything like that it is starting to get a little bit more gold in the outside
towards sunset time I'm probably going to try and head back to the main area around district
one because I feel like there's just more going on there more to see more to show and just experience
more of this Ho Chi Minh City look the light says it's green up there but every bike is just going
I wonder if I should just try and cross
I made it across I'm a Survivor I have this in like no European countries or Western societies
a big speaker shouting like advertisement that's basically what he's doing trying to sell fruit
but it's on a speaker but it is so loud and yeah I think it's awesome brings a bit of energy brings a
bit of life to the city that's cool I just got a dragon fruit here and I think it only cost
five thousand whatever that is but it was very cheap so I have had my camera out a couple of
times and a couple of Vietnamese people have come up to me and be like oh just be careful with your
camera I don't know if like crime's quite a big thing here or not but yeah it's nice that people
are like looking out for you as a tourist as well generally the people in Vietnam seem
really helpful really friendly I'm jumping back on a grab bite back to the main city area hahaha
so we are back in like district one now I need to get some water because I'm so thirsty so I'm
gonna quickly get some water and then I want to have a little look around here see what we
can see see what we can find see what happens at night here in Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon
you see quite a few people wearing like those straw hats it's quite like an iconic Vietnamese
kind of hat but I thought they just use it for Rice like in the rice fields to protect you from
the Sun but they seem to love it in the city as well which is quite cool I kind of want one it's
kind of similar to this I guess but maybe this is a more modern version a little bucket hat
people love to drive on the streets go the wrong way down the road not
the streets on the sidewalk the pavement it's crazy you can't look down on your
phone when you're on the sidewalk because there's probably a bike
coming the opposite direction so you just got to keep your eyes peeled family man
there's so much to conclude from hot dogs sandwiches like microwavable meals which
you can eat up here and then you can just sit anywhere you want in this little family mom
but it's the same goes for like 7-Eleven and that as well
so apparently there's like this nightlife Street and like I don't know it's supposed
to be like really cool so I'm gonna try and head there it's called like boy you know I
don't know it's called Walking Street I think in English I've just come across this like
little Park area where it feels a little bit more peaceful away from the traffic a lot of
green a lot of these big trees it's quite nice you can still hear the traffic obviously but
it's a little bit of Escape in the city I'm not sure how many big open areas there are
I don't
true but on there it says mem was free then he didn't say anything for the woman
it looked like there was a lady charging woman so I don't get that why do the woman
not have to pay and the men don't look at the traffic here this will be a challenge to cross
should we do it the sky looks insane as well
we are at the walking Street let's have a look down here
it doesn't look too busy at the moment thank you [Music]
there are so many Neon Lights here like actually so many it's almost like that bit you imagine in
Japan where there's just like neon lights all down the street look at this [Music]
I love a Saigon beer one yeah
so I'm having a beer here literally on the road in Saigon like this is crazy I'm in Saigon and I'm
having a Saigon beer it's cold oh that's good first being Vietnam only like 65 like so good
such a good price so I've finished having a beer it was really nice having you on the road and it
was really really good obviously because it's like 7 P.M it's probably not that busy yet but I'm sure
I'm sure if the night goes on it gets more busy people were still putting tables out winning
[Music] I am now on a mission to get some foe because I need to try Foe on my first day here in
Vietnam I just got to get across the road because there's so many different bikes and vehicles and
know it's green there's still people coming I will never understand how that works but
yeah there you go he's just like I don't want to wait I'm going over the pavement
for playing your mate there's a lot of traffic here there's a lot of traffic
it's just crazy and the craziest thing is you'd have thought I'd have seen a crash or
something by now and there's no crash whatsoever everyone's just flowing it
just seems to work I don't know why every time I've been on a bike like I feel like
we're going to crash we've been so close and then he suddenly just breaks in time
make it a bit more spicy and then I've also been given these greens as well these green
so hot though I'm gonna start sweating because I'm so hot I can't really eat it probably yeah
I just want to eat it
tasty quite spicy I think I put too many chilies in but good cake
really tasty noodles in like this spicy because I put Chinese in it and soup and it's really
tasty I definitely have this again and yeah the chicken's good too guys that foe was so good 60
000 Vietnamese dogs so that's like two pounds and there was a lot of noodles in there it's
actually quite filling and so yeah definitely recommend that restaurant I'll try and put it
down below and I'm just gonna head back to the hotel now I need to do some work I need
to upload a video and I've hardly edited it for tonight so unfortunately I've got to go do that
but yeah whatever you're doing have a fun time doing that thank you so much for watching guys
