that's it see you vietnam goodbye vietnam
it's been fun goodbye vietnam it's been a blast new country unlocked hello singapore
we're lloyd and mandy we're digital nomads that have been traveling full-time for the
past eight months searching for the perfect place to call our forever home we've just
spent the last month traveling through vietnam and recently took a 32-hour train all the way
from hanoi to saigon where we will be flying out of vietnam to our next country singapore
oh my god i can't believe it's our last day in vietnam already yeah it kind of sucks 30
days goes pretty quick so quick but we've seen so much oh my goodness we're just gonna go do
a little bit of shopping which i'm not too keen on doing we need some stuff i have no
shoes i've been wearing thongs for the last month because i left my shoes at the beach in phuket
story we've left a lot of things we've sort of left a trail of things behind
in different hotel rooms beaches um trains buses that sort of thing so we're sort of dwindling on
things that we actually need and also i haven't bought any new clothes since we left australia
eight months ago and i need like we went on some pretty nice like tours the boat and some nice
hotels and i felt very unaddressed so a pair of shoes and a nice shirt might go well yeah
at least one we'll see if we can find some stuff there's a shopping center just around the corner
from where we're staying here in saigon called vincom center so we're gonna head there i think
it's just a seven minute walk and head there and see if there's any shops with stuff that might fit
someone of lloyd's height hopefully this doesn't take too long either yeah
we just got so lost we ended up in the basement somehow
but we think this is the right way we're heading to another shopping center called saigon center
okay we got our shopping done today got our work done now we're going to enjoy our last night here
in saigon of course there's a concert on which there always is every single night in this area
all right back where it all started this is where we went our first night that we got to vietnam
it feels like forever ago but it also feels like yesterday it's dangerous because we've
got an early flight tomorrow so um just a couple beers and dinner and then we'll go home
as always it's very chaotic it's pretty hectic this is what i'm gonna miss actually
it's a 500 mil bottle for a dollar so good we're gonna have to quit drinking after vietnam i think
yeah for our health
no maybe i don't know what it is
last time we were here every time the police would drive past they would pack up all the tables and
make everyone move up onto the curb and we're really hoping that doesn't happen while we're
eating it was chaos last one it's still early though so it might be right
i like it there's
it's like a some salt i think this is what you're meant to do dip it in and eat it
i used to love airports um
because it was so exciting flying somewhere you could sit and have a beer before you go
but now it's like so covered and everything's five times the price like if we want to go get a juice
or a sandwich for breakfast now we'll spend 50 dollars so i don't like airports anymore
but it's still exciting flying somewhere new i still love that part that was a bit
terrifying made it through check-in and made it through the first immigration
and then got to right before security you give your boarding pass and your passport and he pulled
me aside and said we need to check something in your bag and they don't really tell you anything
and then a security person came over and got me made mandy go through security checkpoint on her
own so she was freaking out i didn't know what was going on yeah i just had no idea what was
happening it's never really happened to me before but i was just a tiny bit paranoid because of
our drone i got a drone mini because it's under 250 grams which means you don't have to register
it in most countries but some countries have weird laws about like registering all drones or
who knows they might because we're youtubers see us as journalists or that we're working
a lot of things going through my head but i got there and he just said you have a power bank
in here so i took it out and it was all good and we made it so i had a really bad anxiety attack
but we're okay now airport always gives us huge anxiety because it's just really tense you know
like it was before covered like every time i go through a security checkpoint i feel like
even if i'm doing nothing wrong i get anxiety and now with code and everything like if something's
wrong with like every country you go to you got to fill out like some sort of app
or pass or something and if you've done something wrong then you're going to miss your flight and
you're going to lose like hundreds of dollars you're going to have to stay overstate your visa
like so much can go wrong there's so much power in the hands of the people here you
never really know what's happening but it's all good we're just gonna get a juice or something
a little bit hungry but might wait to eat till we get to singapore it's only two hour flight
so we have a bit on our travel plans our travel plans are basically to do three nights
in singapore we're staying at two different cube hostels um which is like the cheapest option you
can do that we're going to try and see if we can do singapore relatively cheap because we know it's
expensive we've got some good advice from locals on where to go and eat that isn't like overly
priced and then we're catching a bus which i haven't booked yet to malaysia kuala lumpur
we're going to do three nights there which is actually a lot cheaper than singapore
um and then we'll be able to catch up on editing and we can explore kuala lumpur for a couple of
days and then we're flying to the philippines to manila that's as far as our plans go though
it's still it's like four countries in a week we're gonna be in which is pretty crazy i'm
hoping singapore doesn't sting us too bad with the price of everything we're gonna
we might put out a video on how cheap we can do singapore but um i don't know we're only there
for a couple days we want to see you a bit so we're gonna try and have fun we've just ordered
some foa and a juice for breakfast and shit's already getting expensive it was 35 us dollars
which we're used to paying about two dollars before airport prices man
they know you have no choice so they just charge whatever they want it's unbelievable
so i wanted to wait till i had calmed down a little bit i didn't want to cry and yet another
vlog but the reality is i have extremely bad anxiety on flying days i don't know what it is
about airports and flying i get really bad anxiety the night before i barely sleep and losing lloyd
and having him separated from me really really freaked me out and just was a little bit of a
reminder of how grateful i am that he does all of the travel planning and stuff but i should that i
need to be more aware self-aware and know what's going on as well because i got really scared not
knowing what to do without him and that's not a good position to be in i just wanted to share
that with you guys if you are also someone that's scared of flying this isn't easy for me this is
actually like difficult every time that we have to go through customs or security it scares the
[ __ ] out of me yeah i just thought i'd share that okay customs process getting into singapore
immigration sorry very very easy yeah quick and painless as long as you fill out the form
online before you go i think it's linked to your passport so they already know everything we didn't
have to show anything except that passport which i was surprised yeah very very quick
it was awesome the lines went really fast just about to grab our baggage but we're going to end
this vlog here i guess and now is the start of our singapore series yeah we're gonna see what
singapore's all about we've heard it's very expensive we're going to try and keep it cheap
we're going to try and eat local we've got some tips from followers and people we've met so we're
excited to spend a few days and see what we can do here we've really enjoyed our time in vietnam
