people have this misconception that
being a full-time traveler you're on
crazy adventures every single day but
the reality is that i only do that two
or three days a week so in today's video
you're gonna see what a typical day
looks like living in vietnam and also
the cost of living so let's get started
with the day
[Music]
and voila gym gear is on and i'm ready
for the day first things first let's go
get coffee and breakfast
so one of the first things you'll notice
about hoi an is that most of the hotels
here offer bicycles to the people that
stay at their hotels a lot of people in
the city also use bicycles so it saves
you spending money to rent a motorbike
for the day
[Music]
it is so hot in vietnam right now we're
in the middle of summer so it's like
36 degrees
honestly if you come in anytime soon be
prepared
to sweat
[Music]
so i've come to this place called
nourish eatery and it's a vegetarian
cafe
i came here the other day and the food
is so so good and the coffee
coffee in vietnam in general it's just
amazing anyway um so i'm gonna eat
breakfast before i go to do a workout at
the gym one thing that i do every
morning that is absolutely
non-negotiable is practice gratitude i
write three to five things i'm grateful
for and before you think it's eerie
theory stuff please give it a go because
it's completely changed my life
[Music]
so for that whole breakfast i had the
scrambled eggs avocado toast and a latte
it was 135 000 dong
and i'll convert it here so now it's
time to hop back on the bike because
it's quarter past 11 and at half past 11
i've got a yoga class with nadia so
let's go
[Music]
yoga it's day pass
this is so cold
[Music]
wow
wow i really didn't expect it to be that
nice here i didn't actually look too
much on google maps i just wanted to do
some yoga so it's 50k to get into the
gym for the day pass you can do the
class and use the gym
what an absolute bargain that is
definitely the cheapest price we've ever
paid in asia so far and one of the
nicest gyms with all brand new equipment
i'm impressed i miss for the view like
can you even get any better than that i
don't think you can it's 10 minutes till
yoga
[Music]
hey people we are dead this one honestly
never listened to her because she was
like yeah should we go for yoga meant to
be at six o'clock in the morning look at
the state of what's right nice sky oh my
god this is the true reality of working
out in 36 degree heat you know what guys
don't look at that backdrop it's not
beautiful you can't moan at that kenya
it was intense it was hot it was sweaty
and
i think i feel more relaxed now though
don't you think yeah it's nice we're
gonna get a drink before i die of
dehydration
man hot yoga 36 degree heat i'm not a
vibe i've just come back to the hotel
to show you where we're staying prices
and all that kind of jazz and also get a
shower because i am
sweating myself
we are staying in la center hotel which
is just outside of the main town here in
hoi an it looks over the most
spectacular rice fields and honestly i
cannot recommend it enough included in
the hotel is a gym breakfast a spa a
salon and it's absolutely beautiful
infinity cord we've been staying in the
grand deluxe room which gives you the
most amazing view over the rice fields
and i would definitely pay that bit
extra to get this room because it is
worth every single penny so here's the
bathroom we've got a separate sink area
toilet area and shower one thing i will
say about most of the bathrooms that i
found in asia is that the toilets always
have this gap at the top i mean where is
the privacy guys we have a beautiful
waterfall shower a bath and the total
price for this room for one night is 1.1
million dong we don't always pay this
much for hotel rooms but this one was
definitely worth it so i'm now going to
sit at my little desk and do some work
for a few hours until it's time to go
eat so it's going to be a few hours for
me but only a few seconds for you
charlie's calling me a stress head i'm
not stressed i'm hungry
it's half past seven which means it's my
favorite time of day we are going to eat
some food and maybe also get a drink
because we did say that tuesday nights
are gonna be our little date night
although you're coming with us so you
are intriguing a little bit no i'm
kidding so let's go at you we definitely
could have saved money by going on the
bike but
it's too sweaty for that
thank you come on
i'm not gonna buy any tailored suits
that's what i'm not gonna do
[Music]
so we're gonna go for the set menu but
it included grilled fish and the last
time somebody ate grilled fish
what happened i acknowledged the time
it's not for me it's not for me he
really died
pretty much so we're gonna avoid that
one and go for somewhere there
vietnamese food
bbq peeled pork no
[Laughter]
barbecue rib is it good
is it barbecue sauce or is it just
barbecued rib
bbq
it's got some sort of sauce on it don't
know
soft tender chewy
all available
mmm yes
and these spring rolls i can quite
firmly say
are the best ones i've ever had in
vietnam
vegetables pork
and shrimp and of course we had to get
some
stir-fried vegetables and garlic and the
grand total for our food
387 000
pounds
imagine
um so now what we're going to do we can
just wander around and find somewhere to
have a drink play some pool maybe
because otherwise what we'll do is we'll
go home sit on our laptops for another
three hours until it's bedtime though
we're not gonna do that anymore are we
i'm not gonna do that tonight we're
making good habits
let's go good habits as in going to get
a drink
[Music]
we actually came here the other day for
fish and chips and tell em
it was banging it was sick it was so
good and then on the way out we noticed
that they do like a different
all different types of gin and i've been
crap i've been saying to him i'm just
craving like fruity gin so here we are
[Music]
what's happened so i've ended up with
two because charlie thinks it's a little
bit too bitter i think it's great but i
think it's an excuse that you're trying
to get me drunk
so in the uk we have these things these
things uh it's a battered mars bar it
looks something a little bit like this
and it is oh my god so so so tasty
charlie's never tried one before and i
saw them on the menu here so we've
ordered them they don't look like a
typical one that i've ever had it looks
more like a little pie or a cornish
pasty but we're gonna try it this which
we think is the mars bar
yeah and then this which is like some
cinnamon
oh [ __ ] love cinnamon
an apple an apple is it just an apple
yeah
yeah and then that's a passion for it
[Music]
is that the mars bar
but that don't even look like the uk
version i promise you it is ten times
it's like dripping out with all the
caramel
good
yeah and the grand total for two beers
two gin and tonics and a little dessert
365 000 there we go obviously we don't
go for drinks every day
obviously when i have idols no i do not
imagine i'm like this secret alcoholic
anyway obviously the hotel that we're
staying at offers the gym and the
breakfast so there's definitely a few
things that i've included in this video
which could be cut out and and would
essentially reduce the budget that
you're spending every day but
for the most part
i do like to go out for breakfast and i
do like a nice gym and nice coffee and a
nice coffee yeah enough oh yeah we're
gonna go get a pizza because i'm a bit
hungry and i'm a little bit tipsy and we
all get hungry
anyways i hope you enjoyed this video
please if you enjoyed it give it a
thumbs up

videos coming we're staying in vietnam
for another month which i'm really
excited for to show you more vlogs in
