good morning guys welcome back to my channel uh it's 6 30 a.m in vietnam now and i just woke up
brush my teeth and even put my gym clothes on because today
i'm gonna show you guys a day in my life in vietnam
so for those of you who don't know my name is van vu i'm vietnamese born and raised here i'm
currently living in hanoi vietnam i lived in the us for seven years and i just moved back
to vietnam four months ago it was a second wave of coronavirus so i had to be quarantined in a
military camp in vietnam for two weeks and if you guys want to check out that experience i'll
leave the link below anyway i just wanted to give you guys a quick update about my life in vietnam
what i'm currently doing what i eat in a day
stuff like that alright so let's start my day with a morning workout
i just it was worth it guys oh my gosh i'm so tired
okay so i just got out of the shower and it feels as good as new um usually in the morning i would
work from home or i would go to a coffee shop to work because i'm a freelancer and i'm a content
creator i make videos on youtube just like this channel i make videos about vietnamese
food and culture so consider subscribing if you want to learn more about vietnam
so the first thing i like to do in the morning is to create my to-do list
my schedule is different every day one day i just stay at home editing videos and writing
blogs all day but today is more exciting because i get to go filming and exploring hanoi later
but for now i'm gonna get ready to record a video for my vietnamese channel
if you're wondering what my vietnamese channel is it's called minhlavanday i talked about minimalism
zero waste and lifestyle vlogs i'll leave the link below if you want to check it out
it's lunch time guys and i'm so hungry right now i'm gonna take you guys to eat a local dish in
hanoi vietnam it's called bun cha and it's so good if you come to vietnam it's the must try dish even
obama had tried it before and he loved it so let's follow me to see why it's so special okay let's go
is vietnamese dish that consists of flavorful and juicy pork meatballs grilled caramelized fatty
pork vermicelli sweet and sour dipping sauce with plenty of herbs such as lettuce cilantro coriander
and mint guys so i have bun cha right here and it looks so good i'm gonna put chili and garlic in it
and i will mix it up eat this one you would take the vermicelli you dip it in the sauce like this
so you would like to mix it
so the noodles are very thin small and soft the dipping sauce oh my gosh it's the best
like it's the whole spirit because it has the unique taste of fish sauce it's sweet and sour
and when you eat with the meat and the fresh herbs it's a perfect combination i'm telling you
also vietnamese people usually eat bun cha for lunch or late breakfast but nowadays you can
eat it anytime and anywhere you can easily buy buncha from elegant restaurants to small street
vendors in hanoi if you go to sai gon you can find a similar dish it's called bun thit nuong
and is so delicious as well oh my gosh i'm so full guys but it was so good i have a nails appointment
right now i'm gonna head over there and we're gonna explore hanoi later okay all right let's go
i just booked a Grab bike which is a motorbike hailing service in vietnam to go to hoan kiem lake
since i'm gonna go get some footage for my video there
if you come to vietnam you should definitely visit hoan kiem lake because it's so beautiful
as an introvert i like to explore the city at my own pace
it really helps me recharge my energy reflect on myself and find inspiration in life returning
home after living abroad for a long time teaches me to look at things differently
i learned to appreciate little things in life like green leaves on the tree happy children good food
and even the people i meet along the way i met Cuong a vietnamese artist who makes art out
of chopsticks i also met Steve from boston and we had a little chat at hoan kiem lake
i used to come here every day when i was younger
yeah i just like to just meet foreigners to practice my english before i uh came to
america that's a good place to work so you're from here you're from the southern Yeah, I'm from here
