well today we're going to be checking off one of the biggest things that are on our bucket
list first we're in vietnam but specifically we're in ha long bear you'd know that if you
watched our last couple of videos but like trevor said today is a bucket list day we are on a boat
and we are going to travel around do a little cruise around ha long
bay it's one of the main things that you do when you're here you're going to see why
as we go throughout the video it's the first day with the vin group tour we've come out to this
cruise it's part of a welcome cruise i guess we've already got some wine we're going to
see lots of people around but we are going to move eventually and you're going to see these
iconic are they cliffs or cliffs cliffs mountain fields whatever you want anymore
it's gonna be beautiful the ship we're on today is absolutely massive i'm not even sure how many
floors that are on this vessel what's really cool is we came from the resort that you can
see all from the distance and here we are now we're waiting to get going we've literally been
waiting for this day for years we wanted to do something like this for basically ever it's one
of those things if you're a traveler you have to come do this because you're not a traveler it's
like just one of those very iconic epic things to do in the world i think it's a unesco world
heritage site that's considered like the eighth wonder of the world it's just supposed to be
amazing and we had plans to come to vietnam two years ago we got stuck in the philippines some
of you guys might remember that if you haven't we filmed the whole thing go back and watch it if you
want to but we had plans to come here we thought it was going to happen of course pandemic happened
instead so here we are two years later we're at the back now i think this will give you a better
idea of our hotel that's our hotel over there at the vin pearl ha long bay if you're curious about
it it's a five-star luxury hotel it's absolutely stunning in our last video we did a full tour of
it definitely go back and watch it because wow we haven't even left the bay yet and i'm already
beyond excited you'll probably see the poster here this is the tour we are on bin group elite we're
very excited to be here and be invited to this event because oh my today is going to be epic
so we are moving at a quite slow pace but we've got quite a few hours on here so i think we're
okay it's really hard to tell though isn't it huh it feels it is i know we're going really slow it's
windier up here and you might be able to see those limestone cliffs way off in the background
you're also going to start to see a lot of different people around yeah there's a huge
group here i'd say at least 200 something like that we actually have no idea who else is here
i'm sure we'll meet them over the next few days maybe you'll be watching videos from
other people that are also in this group there's also one area on the boat that has
extremely loud music so we're gonna have to be strategic and figure out how to get you guys
over there to see it i might just put some b-roll on the screen maybe that's the best
way to explain it actually i'll do that right now first of all on this boat there is no shortage of
food at all there's also a bar and there's a lot of cocktails being made that is definitely a good
thing there's also some kind of art and vietnamese traditional crafting on the ship as well so that's
very exciting and in general there's music on it's just a good time so far overall
so check these things out seriously these cliffs are just so beautiful does this not remind you
guys have you followed for a while you might remember when we got stuck in the philippines
and the limestone cliffs well they kind of look like that
very similar they have a lot in common but here there are so many of these we're told there are
thousands literally thousands of cliffs like this that just jet straight out of the water
crazy this is what halong bay is known for and we're so glad to be here right now
these are one of those places that is so hard to describe because it's so incredibly epic it almost
feels like it shouldn't really exist in the world there's a few places we've been like that like
dubrovnik is one that comes to mind obviously the philippines yep and santorini just the places
that you get to when you look around in awe and just think like how does this actually exist i
just feel so i don't like the word to use the word lucky very often but i do feel really really lucky
just to be here right now and this is considered one of what is it the seventh or eighth wonders
of the world something like that here we are see why well we made it to the front of this uh
ship this vessel and i think if you you know if you climb up here and you kind of hang on to that
pole we can just kind of like a you know titanic like iconic scene you want to reenact it no wonder
yet if you want to climb up there we can reenact it right now i think that's a really bad idea
i just jumped up here to sit down what's kind of funny is at the front of the boat here is where
most of the creators the social media creators are hanging out we need to be congregating together i
feel like people are kind of congregating it i don't know what everybody else does there's
definitely writers here yeah there's all kinds of different people yeah so the people that aren't
used to seeing like people with microphones like we have on top of our camera look looking at us
like you know we're used to that though we're youtubers so what we'll do is we'll
try to introduce you to a few people that are around because we honestly haven't even met yeah
we started to meet a few people i'm sure we will start to meet more throughout the days but yeah so
far we've met a few different youtubers and it's cool and a lot of us are experiencing vietnam for
the first time and of course this epic this i'm actually surprised how many of us that i've met
that are here for the first time yeah but we just met this guy for the first time what's your name
yeah my name is mac also known as world nomak and i am enjoying vietnam with these wonderful
creators here and look at these views i'm like blown away it's my first time in vietnam and oh
my god everywhere in like every direction you look you're just like this is insane and you're from
the states right from the states yeah another guy from the states right here you're one half of the
dude half of the party my wife is inside we're called counting countries we're visiting every
country in the world 100 countries in so far and this is already up near the top i mean
crazy right it's unesco named it what their eighth world wonder or something so it's just
beauty in every direction so they're gonna have to go follow these guys yeah we'll put links below in
the description so you guys can go check them out we're right in the middle of these iconic
cliffs right now completely surrounded by these look at these things in like a little cove i know
and these just jet up straight out of the ocean and i still can't believe there are thousands
you might also notice in the background here there's kind of like a boardwalk area
yeah i don't know what this is not sure what that is there's also like a cave type looking thing in
the background this is just wild i mean if anyone has a chance to come here just do it just do it
where do you find stuff like this can't stop sorry i'm like not even paying attention to the camera
because i can't stop looking around this is crazy check out my cocktail it is neon green i don't
know if i've ever had a green cocktail before but uh it's got some rum pineapple juice and i kind
of forget what else is in it something that makes it green no idea what we're just passing something
called a golden cruise yeah so we heard from a lot of people that it's very typical when you
come to halong bay to come do like overnights so one or two nights in like these i guess
both like this and you get to sleep there probably do excursions go on kayaking we're not doing that
so if you're wondering why we're not it's because we are on this group tour this group trip and we
actually it showed our the hotel that we're staying in the last video it's so beautiful
well it's now the next day and we're clearly not on a cruise anymore we are not we're on this kind
of what looks to be a bicycle but they're called cyclos but we're not in halong bay anymore yeah we
are in the capital city of hanoi we have made our way over it's the next yes the next day
i think you just said i can't even keep track of the days i'm so tired and we've been so so
busy but yeah we're in going through the old city look at these things you can see them go by like
this is happening right now how cool is that and there's a bunch of them in front we got a lot of
the group behind us see if i can give you an above view i don't even know if i can do this let's try
so we have honestly no clue what to expect this was all arranged for us
it was i read a little bit about cyclos just so i would have some idea of what exactly we're doing
so they date back actually to 1939 they were built or they were designed in france back in the day uh
and it came to here in vietnam and it used to be a big mode of transportation now a lot of people
got around but they were more like a rickshaw at the time where someone would pull you they kind of
wear bikes now they're bikes and it's not the main way they get around of course
but this is now more of a touristy thing definitely just a tour but it's still super
cool and very unique to this city this is easily one of the most unique cities we've been in just
straight away obviously it feels like asia feels like vietnam but this city feels like
you're right yeah we are in the french quarter or we just were in the french corner i'm not sure
where the divide happens but it definitely has a very very french feel to it yeah it's so cool
that you have the fusion of all these like kind of different countries here and it's just so vibrant
obviously you could probably tell how lit up it is as well what an awesome city i don't know if you
guys have seen all the scooters going by i know i feel like in my head before we got here when i
think of vietnam and traffic i think of all the scooters definitely not not crazy by me no it's
not too bad ho chi minh city is more a little bit more crazy with traffic but it's still really cool
so there's this lake in the middle of the city i don't know if you're gonna be able
to see it but it's really really pretty you're not gonna see it now oh there's a bus going by
it's cool how all the traffic just melts and melts i know it just goes right around us
feels very very safe and i don't mean that sarcastically it does i feel like they're just
used to seeing these on the streets and just go around them there's like a pagoda or something in
the middle of the lake it's all lit up at night it's very pretty this nice almost european vibe
here and i know we are like in a you know the french quarter but everyone's out it's like a
thursday i think i think it's thursday it's probably nine o'clock at night there's loads of
people out there's kids doing their thing there's kids out there's people on bicycles something you
don't see very often in asia it's really cool yeah it's special really really nice we also
just wanted to say that this is going to be a brief stop for us in hanoi while we're in the
country yeah we're just here for the evening yeah overnight one evening but we are coming back to
the city so if you're watching this video and if you have been to hanoi or if you are vietnamese
and are from hanoi or know about city leave us some recommendations on what to do when we get
back we'll be back here soon to do a whole lot more and explore this city this city is awesome
we're loving it so far this city is nothing like i imagined there is a mix of european architecture
it so feels like france at the same time mixed with asia it turns into this beautiful
looking city of amazing looking buildings friendly people and a mix of culture
we're now off the cyclo it's amazing which was amazing but we have an impromptu kind of
walking tour this is interesting because we have a bunch of people ahead of us they're
with us they've been in the group you might see some of their faces here we actually have
security with us that's your wife just because we're with the group but i think that's why but
either way this is so cool to be walking around here at night in these streets in hanoi did not
expect this one today no i know we thought we were going to end things with the cyclone we're both
pretty tired but very tight and suggested going for a drink so here's the fun part apparently
we're going to sit outside at like one of the beer places i don't really know if it's like a garden
or what it means but i think it's a big thing to do here in hanoi hey there's a few people here
huh there's a few people we just walked into a while i thought it was a random street but
so to be completely honest we were gonna end the video about uh well a few minutes ago
but this is way too interesting not to put the camera on listen to the music you can probably
hear tons of people around us it's nuts here so after walking around what felt like circles for
a while we eventually came upon this restaurant on this crazy crazy busy street we're all sitting
on these tiny little stools and i think there's been beer orders at least hopefully
one thing about this place is we have ice in the beer apparently that's a vietnamese thing to do
the beer we're also drinking is hanoi here this woman wants
me to buy something no thank you but this is a great way to end the night i don't
even know if you guys can hear me we're hanging out here i'm dodging people yeah
this is not our typical vlog for anyone that has just tuned in for the very first time we don't
really do nightlife stuff but i guess tonight we're with other people we have no choice but
it's going to be fun how's the beer there guys we're having a little hanoi beer it's my first
time having one and guess how much money it costs to get one of these oh i don't even know
a dollar two bucks oh it's too good you're supposed to guess like ten dollars i'm like
one dollar and he's gonna be blown away but yeah one dollar guys delicious beer it's
like a lager i think so right premium bar it's delicious have you had ice and a beer before
you know i don't think so except when probably in college i had a really warm beer
and i was like how do i fix it actually it's kind of nice well cheers cheers bro well what
