southeast Asia experience here I sure am we're experiencing our first plot guys so today it is
much better than it has been the last couple of days where only half of the first Main Street
here in hoyan is flooded yesterday uh the first two streets of the Old Town were completely
flooded and I have no idea how the tourists who are staying in hotels on these streets
were getting in and out of their hotels but Dad what would you say is your first impressions of
hoi on so far oh very good very good beautiful friendly food excellent restaurants here are
amazing there's lots of great cafes hoyan is one of the most popular places to visit in Vietnam it
is a UNESCO world heritage site because there are over 800 historic buildings that are still
standing hoyan is actually one of the few cities in Vietnam that was never bombed during the
Vietnam war so it still has a lot of the original structures that have been here for a really
so even though unfortunately uh our first two days we basically were at the hotel because it
was just pouring rain crazy rain but it's better than minus 40 right yes and it was nice to see
all the water too something different well yeah I've I've been experiencing torrential
rain for the past uh three months but for you I guess you've never quite seen anything like
that before well not too much no so it's an experience and uh today does seem like
a better day so we are going to do some exploring here in the old town try some awesome local food
and uh hopefully the weather stays good for the rest of our time here [Music] foreign

so as you guys can see the May Street the main walking Street here in Hoi An is still flooded
even though we are getting into the afternoon more than likely it is going to be like this for the
next couple of days and like I said before we're not even here during rainy season it is surprising
that something like this would happen but that's just how it goes with travel where sometimes you
just you just don't know what's going to happen and funny enough that is actually a very good
segue to the sponsor of today's video which I personally use for my travel health insurance
which is passport card nomads passport card Nomads is an international health and travel insurance
company that is tailored specifically for Nomads most travel insurance companies will require you
to pay Upfront for your own treatment which may cost a lot in some places and then you will be
reimbursed sometimes weeks or months later what makes passport card Nomads different is that they
simplify the process of paying for your claims by sending you a prepaid Visa debit card that you
can use to pay directly for your medical expenses passport card Nomads also has plans that go beyond
the usual emergency medical travel insurance they have more extensive health insurance for Nomads
who spend more than half the year abroad and want coverage for non-urgent medical treatment and
routine checkups passport card Nomads has 24-hour customer care and is perfect for Nomads who want
peace of mind when it comes to their travel and health insurance so if you guys want to learn
more about passport card Nomads and sign up for your own plan click the link in my description
so for lunch today we are going to try a very local place called kaolo Kong Jiang Han if I'm
saying that right and they have one of the most famous specialty dishes that is served here in
Hoi on all right we have made it and it looks like it's very popular over lunch time with the
locals and they have their main Specialties just on this board which is the cowl noodle dish and
it's only 35 000 Vietnamese Dong which is about like even less than two US dollars per portion so
obviously the prices are really good here and uh obviously lots of other people like it too
our lunch has arrived and it looks fantastic so this is cow law guys this is a specialty dish
that they have here it's brown rice noodles topped with pork and then deep fried crispy
rice paper which is kind of interesting I've never had that before and then you get just some greens
you can mix it with some lime some chilies and then over here we have chicken rice which is a
dish that I haven't had before either and it is quite literally rice with chicken onions different
greens and then they also give you a little bowl of soup when you have it so I actually
don't know if you're supposed to mix some of this into here or the other way around but
it is tasty whatever way you do it all right so you got a little bit of the pork and the noodles
oh my God it's quite good very crispy um I think we do need to add like some
sauce onto it to make it a little bit more flavorful but very good
now the other thing that hoyan is really famous for is textiles right right we see
a whole bunch of stores here where you can actually get custom made clothing uh whether
it's just like made to measure kind of stuff or if you have your own design the thing to
keep in mind though is that I've heard it takes at least three to seven days depending on what
you're getting done to have the piece made so if you're only coming here for like two
three days probably it's not enough time to get something We're not gonna get anything
done because we have a lot of clothes but this shirt actually I got for you um in Saigon it
was like 15 really good quality made here in Vietnam so whether you're getting custom made
clothes or just buying clothes that are made in Vietnam it's actually really good stuff [Music]
thank you
[Music]
so it's actually at night when hoi on Old Town really starts coming alive as we saw the first
night that we got here and went to the night market what did you think of the Night Market dad
looks pretty amazing all the lights yeah crowded yeah and so many shops we're kind of still in the
clothing um market and the lanterns are turning on but later tonight we are going to go to the food
market which gets going around 8 p.m and that's definitely a sight to see [Music] foreign [Music]

so for dinner tonight we are at one of the most famous restaurants in Hoi An
it's called morning glory and I guess his signature there are two locations so we're
gonna try this one and this looks fantastic because we were able to snag a spot right
here on the rooftop with this amazing view of the Old Town foreign [Music]
thank you [Music]
