oh i just saw this lady making some street food let's see what it is hello
what is she saying
hey welcome to vietnam so i just got here in vietnam and i want to give you my first
impressions as an american of how vietnam is so let's go and check out vietnam so currently we
are in ho chi minh city the biggest city here in vietnam and i want to show you this building real
quick this straight up looks like the avengers building i think the avengers copied this building
if you know what i'm talking about hit that like button even if you don't still smash it all right
currently we're in the central part of the city so let's walk around the riverside and see how
it is but first have to cross the road and vietnam it's very hard to cross the road as you can see so
many cars there's not like any traffic light for me to cross but we're going to cross anyway so
let's try it across oh it's so hard i don't know how i'm gonna cross but somehow i'm gonna cross
all right we crossed it halfway let me cross the other half
it is so hard crossing
all right we made it guys
okay we survived crossing that crazy road over there and you can see over there is the avengers
tower i'm not sure what is this building called but we're just gonna call it avengers tower for
right now and here's the riverfront i went here one time because i just got here but i went here
like this is the second night that i'm here but i went here one time it was very crowded during the
day but unfortunately it's rainy right now and it's really cloudy because ho chi minh city has
two seasons they say they have the wet season the dry season and currently we're in the wet season
but it's not gonna stop me from making a first impressions video
so as i'm walking along the riverfront i just want to give you a quick life update so i recently just
got to asia i was just in singapore for a couple days you check out the video it's like previous
to this one and uh yeah i'm just happy to be back in asia vietnam is open the voters are open so if
you're a traveler like me you can go to vietnam and check it out so that's a quick live update
i'm probably going to do a live stream soon so if you're not already please follow me and
we'll connect with each other this looks like a neat restaurant right next to the riverfront
probably a good place to have a coffee or something okay so as i'm walking along the
riverfront i just want to point out real quick that this building over here is supposed to be the
largest building in ho chi minh city and across from us is that avengers building so this is how
the riverside looks like in a nutshell and let's go over there and see more of the central the
city all right i'm just going to try to cross right now i feel like i'm playing
the game of frogger look how many bikes me and this guy are going to cross together
wow that's all right this is hard all right thank you okay so as i'm walking around this
area i came across this statue the guy looks really cool i'm not sure who he is he probably
has a lot of like history in the vietnamese culture this guy's letting up some incense
wow i like that finger pointing position he's at
okay so now we are in the central part of the city
over there starbucks and by the way vietnam is famous for its coffee like forget starbucks they
have a lot of like their own neighborhood coffee places if i see it during today i'll
i'll let you guys know i believe it's the most central part of ho chi minh city so if you
ever do come to truman city you probably have a hotel somewhere around this area
by the way the city is set up in different districts so currently we're in district 1
which is the main district of the city and i'll put the map on the screen to let you guys know
so this is how it looks like so far loving the vibes of ho chi minh city
so as i am walking along district 1 here in ho chi minh city i want to show you that i
just found a mosque so mosque is where muslims pray at so let's go inside and see how it is
let me show you real quick how does the mosque look like in ho chi minh city
here's the courtyard area and can you believe it right next to the sheraton hotel actually
so it's right in the heart of the city there's a lot of mosque there's also
uh buddhist temples there's churches over here so it's pretty diverse here in ho chi minh city
that's what i've seen so far and you know guys i've only been here for like a couple days now
let me show you real quick so over here it looks like a little pool area this is actually where
people wash themselves just before they go pray so as muslims you need to wash yourself before you
pray i've never seen this this kind of like pool thing usually they just have like a faucet that
you wash yourself so let's go to the main part real quick so here's the main part of the mosque
there's the female area over there and then uh this is where the muslims pray at so today is
friday they actually had friday prayer over here and their friday prayer i heard it is around 12
30. so if you ever do come to children's city you want to pray just remember friday prayers at 12
30. all right so we just made it to circle okay so apparently they have circle k over here which is a
famous convenience store in america so i'll need something to drink so let's see what we can find
hi can i get coffee soil this one yeah for 15k yeah okay
about to get some vietnamese coffee all right this is a vietnamese coffee everyone so i have
a 15k vietnamese dong which uh i'll put the price on the screen it's less than one usd
about 23 000 uh dong equals one usd so this is like around like 60 cents let's try it out
nice so this coffee isn't a normal coffee it's coffee and then it's mixed with condensed milk
in vietnam they have a lot of coffee vietnam was famous for the coffee i didn't mention it so good
to know so as i'm walking along the road enjoying this coffee i just want to point out two things
on our left is a louis vuitton store so they do have like luxury stores over here in vietnam
believe it or not and then on our right this is a theater it looks really nice
and then you see here's like a sightseeing bus so if you come to vietnam you want to
have like some sightseeing opportunity to go on this bus so let's cross the street i just
thought there's a park over here here let's cross real quick here's the sightseeing bus
oh wow this park looks nice let's see this park real quick some guys selling
fresh coconuts on the road i i would have some coconut like juice i'd love to show you guys but
she's got some coffee see what's over here anything interesting not really let's continue
all right so i think apparently we're in the upper class area as you can see
over there is burberry and gigantic hotel looks really nice
and yeah there's christian dior over here and some other luxurious brands
okay so apparently the mall with all the luxurious goods is called
union square wow this is rolls-royce in vietnam nice
show you more of the cars it's another one
okay so i'm back in a little park over here i believe if we keep on going straight we'll
go towards the riverfront there's the avengers tower once more yeah but they
have a statue of someone i don't know who that guy is but let's see who it is
okay so i found out who this guy is he is ho chi minh so the city is named after him
he lived from 1890 to 1969. i don't know too much history about him but he must be really famous
if they made an old statue about him and call the whole gigantic city after him
