This Is How They Treat Tourists In Vietnam
I am still in Ho Chi Minh City and let's start the day with getting some breakfast here right on the streets there are some street food stalls here and for the past days I've been getting my breakfast here every morning hello can I get another juice yeah one place yes I'm starting my day usually with a fat fresh juice here that is something that I absolutely love about Vietnam already that you can get fresh fruits and fruit shakes juices everywhere on the streets and then what he does he just squeezes the juice freshly out of the fruits here very good I like it a lot and then you can add some sugar as well if you like to so you have sugar here this is sugar right sugar but I don't want no sugar yeah you can add sugar here but of course I want to have just the pure juice no sugar so he removes a little bit from the from the fruit uh how do you call it in English the meat the meat of the fruit and then you add some some ice cubes as well over here and just like that you have a really healthy juice fresh orange juice right in the morning very good okay and then the price is so for the big cup I'm paying 25 000 dong which is uh just over one US dollar like one dollar and 10 cents or something like that but you can also get a smaller cups here and I'm not sure what all the other types they are maybe some other fruits or maybe some some iced tea something like that 25 right thank you yes okay thank you come in okay so just like that we're having a fresh almond juice and then that's not going to be my uh my full meal I'm always catching one of these sandwiches here as well hello good morning at one place again one yeah I'll check it out she has a pork meat here yeah and then I'm not sure what this over there is I think this is some sausage what is this pork this pork as well same same yeah okay okay and then she makes the sandwich it's very uh you're gonna see it when I when I bite into it it's very crispy and fluffy is super nice sandwich and you can get these sandwiches also everywhere in Vietnam it's called bunny typical Vietnamese sandwich which is a leftover from when the French were here they brought the baguettes into Vietnam and now obviously the French are gone the time when they're French we are ruling in Vietnam is a long time ago but still these baguettes are leftovers from that time so then she makes these sandwiches right here she also does a fried egg right here put some greens inside and then I can sit right here on this typical small Vietnam check it out try the juice first I am what's better than a fresh orange juice in the morning gives you some vitamins some proper nutrition for the day is doing with the baguettes oh yes of course of course so cooking an egg here boiling it right away here I think she sells as much as she has she likes so if it's finished then she's done for the day basically actually I can see her like my hotel where I'm currently staying is right here actually I can show you the hotel here the minute after the breakfast actually I have to leave this hotel today but I will I will tell you more details about that after the breakfast so actually I can see her operating from my window one of the windows there's my room and I can see that as soon as she's finished with the baguettes I think she calls it a day so she's working until everything is finished early if you want to get one ah yeah yeah yeah please some vegetables some greens ah yeah that looks really good oh yeah these greens they add a very fresh kick to it which is really nice so we have a combination of meat of the egg she adds no no chili no no no no please no chili my stomach is not good with handling chili in these days so she has a little bit of sauce I'm not sure what sauce this is maybe a soy sauce [Music] yeah and then she put it in a paper bag and just like that oh no no plastic I will eat here no no no just like this okay yeah okay thank you come in okay and just like that we have a fresh baguette here um which cost I'm paying here thirty thousand dollars so that's like one dollar I don't know 1.20 the price will be somewhere here so just like that or in total of so 25 over there so 55 000 in total we have a good breakfast with a very big orange juice and this delicious baguette people are curious what I'm doing here with my camera this is not really a tourist area yeah I think so have a look at this so it doesn't this look really good proper baguette and let's see if you can hear the sound when I when I bite into it very crunchy perfect baguette I would say and then you have all these different flavors inside sausage the pork meat the egg the greens this is already one of my favorite foods here in Vietnam these baguettes you can literally find them everywhere always these little street food carts they are selling them they're also some proper restaurants that are selling them of course a little bit more expensive there's so much inside it's super flavorful very delicious yes no tomorrow no tomorrow I go another hotel hi hi yeah yeah where are you from Germany Germany Germany yeah no no no I go uh Ho Chi Minh but another hotel my hotel now here but change Hotel over there yeah but this one was very good okay very good delicious okay bye-bye come on oh yeah she was always happy to see me here every morning yeah for the past days and breakfast here with this lovely lady Okay so let me quickly tell you my current hotel situation so what I usually do is I only book hotel for a few days so usually two or three days and then if I like it I'm going to extend the stays and this has never been a problem in the past years because the hotels were never fully booked out but now it's starting to happen that sometimes the hotels get fully booked out so I spent here now four nights and I like the place I would like to extend my stay but I can't because it is fully booked out today so I have to leave to another hotel and so this is actually it's not a proper Hotel it's a co-working space they also have some working areas over there on the other floor but then they also have some some rooms here so I have a room right here which I can show you now okay so welcome to my hotel room for the past days this has been my home so we have the bathroom right here and then yeah this is the the bigger room they also have a little bit smaller rooms but yeah I like my rooms to be spacious so it feels a little bit more like home and not like a tiny hotel room and yeah right here you can see that's where we just been to have the breakfast the Stalls down there and then yeah there's a little seating area here then the bed right here a huge TV as well which I never used I never watched TVs in hotel rooms uh and then yeah a little working area here which is nice so overall I have been very happy here and yeah I would stay longer if the hotel wouldn't be booked out there's also a pool and the gym down there so everything I need basically the price here is around 45 US dollar per night it's a little bit outside the city center but the center can be reached within a five minute motorbike taxi ride the name of the place here is Hello World Saigon but yeah let's uh change to another hotel more to the city center all right so where is my grab Taxi uh on here the driver canceled oh it was already here I checked the the app like literally 20 seconds ago and it was here already looks like he canceled for some reason okay oh this is the first time that uh web driver can put on me in Vietnam but okay I have another one right away and he's just around the corner yeah to be honest it has been very convenient so far to get wrapped like this I mainly use motorbike taxis and so far always got a taxi got it right right away so very uh convenient here in Ho Chi Minh City and you can see the stall of the lady over there is already closed so she already finished selling all her sandwiches that means she can go home oh what is the car doing I probably is turning around over there actually you know what I am kind of happy that I am forced to change to another hotel today because yeah I am new in the city I want to see different parts of the city so I'm moving to a another area now so I'm kind of happy as well that yeah I'm almost forced to change to a new place so that I can see another part of the town let's see thank you so much okay okay 17 minutes okay yeah 17 minute ride through the city okay thank you very much have a good day bye-bye that's all thank you so much okay all right we have arrived to Lotus Saigon hotel and yeah in case you're wondering the price of the taxi ride almost 20 minutes to the city was 90 000 dong and yeah let me handle the check-in and then I will show you the hotel as well thank you very much okay so room number 403 let's have a look here in pink a little bit less here I think it's like 40 US dollar here per night and one of the first impression um here okay so all right let me quickly choose the room for you before we then head out to explore the new neighborhood and first of all we need some light here ah perfect ah okay so this is the bathroom here with a shower like this okay yeah usually if the hotel is a little bit older you'll find it a lot that there's not a shower there's a bathtub with a shower inside that's usually the case in many older hotels the same in Thailand for example but uh yeah we have a big spacious room here I like it that there's a lot of light coming inside I like it to have bright hotel rooms so with a lot of natural light I really like that ah huge bed here let me quickly test it a little bit hard oh no here's actually there's a hard part in the middle maybe it's yeah it's probably two beds put together oh actually this is very soft oh I like it air conditioner of course let's quickly check out the balcony ah nice to have a balcony sometimes ah okay so City View Ho Chi Minh City oh I'm actually very excited the new area of the Town can't wait to explore a little bit around here and there's also a pool on the rooftop as well as a little gym attached I started to uh to get a workout routine again I'm usually going to the gym every two days and every other two days I'm going swimming so sport every day at the moment which is great I feel very good very healthy but yeah one thing I notice here as well and I noticed that in most of the hotels I stay at is that the curtains are not totally blocking out all the light that means in the night there's still light shining in and I am someone I am a light sleeper so when they have light coming in then that can interrupt my sleep or make my sleeping quality less and therefore I am still very happy that I am having my Manta sleeping mask I've been using this sleeping mask for a few months now almost every single night I absolutely love it the mask is very easy and comfortable to wear there is no pressure on the eyes and this mask does totally block out any light The Mask also comes with some earplugs so you can not only block out all the light you can also block out all the noises and I already hear that the Busy Road over there will make some noises in the night so I'm happy that I have my earplugs in combination with the sleeping mask I think I will get a good sleep here it's also great if you want to get a quick nap in in like buses or trains or airplanes while you're traveling and yeah I've been using this mask from a company called Manta sleep they offer several different types of sleeping masks which you can all find on their website and if you would like to try out Manta sleep as well you can click the link that I will provide in the pin comment on the description and if you enter the promo code can you can get 10 off and they also have a 60 day money back guarantee so you can test out the mask if you don't like it send it back and you will get a refund click the link down below thanks to mantisly for sponsoring today's video and now let's explore my new neighborhood ah there's also a mini bar here and actually I think drinking a cold beer on the balcony here now is actually yeah something nice uh yeah we have also Kettle right here tea and coffee [Music] so enjoy this beer here okay cheers to Vietnam cheers to all of you watching this is actually my first time trying Tiger Beer not bad oh yeah let's uh hit the road and explore this new neighborhood okay so I have left the hotel just uh wandering around now getting to know the new neighborhood that I'm staying in now this is an interesting Road actually because we don't have a proper sidewalk to walk so I'm basically walking on the streets and as you can see the roads in Vietnam can be a little bit busy also yeah so far my impression is it doesn't really feel like a big Asian Mega City and maybe um in the wrong parts of the town or the right ones if you don't like this feeling of being in a big city but it is or let's say like this I would have expected it to be more chaotic you know like when you think about Ho Chi Minh City and Saigon usually think of Mega Chaos on the streets on the roads and so far I haven't seen that by the way in case you're familiar with the city this is at District number three no there's water coming from the from The Roots here getting some water in your face here but yeah I am in District number three now which is on the edge through uh or close to the edge to District number one this is um yeah the the city center as far as I know yeah walking here you need to be careful always have your your brain on Focus your eyes on the road otherwise it's easy to uh to get overrun by some scooters here okay yeah but interesting just to uh have a walk around see the atmosphere see if I can uh yeah z-block Crossings I've lost a decoration here in Vietnam or mostly in almost in every Asian country I've been to so far these are just decoration so as a German I have to get used to that but no problem okay I'm trying to find this restaurant here according to Google Maps it should be somewhere here this was recommended to me as well excuse me hello I'm looking for this restaurant you don't know should be somewhere here oh yeah okay okay thank you okay all right it looks like it's over there okay crossing the road um is it this one oh I think it's this one that's the food I would like to try is actually this one here which is like little meat skewers wrapped in some leaves I think this one here there is something that I've never tried before hello I would like to try these ones I heard they are very good here so uh is this pork or beef okay can I get this and this I want both want this and one this yeah how many pieces is one order how much is one pack how many pieces usually [Music] um okay a six here and then five yeah okay okay okay so yeah this place was also recommended [Music] all right yes please yeah okay vegetables inside I guess it's going to be another interesting experience I have no idea how to eat this I'm having I have to learn how to eat the local meals yeah that's what I'm excited about right restaurants like this and I don't think I'm in a very tourist area where I haven't seen another restaurant around here so let's see what I will get so yeah I think it's going to uh look like this so a mix plate with some greens and some dipping sauce on the side a little bit like like Satay movie you if you know something from countries like Malaysia for example um maybe I can get something interesting to drink as well what is this do I get something like this like this mix yeah okay okay okay and drinking you have drinks here right what is what is this here what is this okay okay yeah yeah okay she doesn't seem to uh to understand me but that's all right and so I'm just going to order it and see what I will get so I asked for foreign not sure what it is [Music] more fun if I drink it without knowing it yeah this I can uh this one okay okay oh she just told me that today I ordered this uh not available so I'm ordering whatever that's all oh this is like a huge portion of greens here am I supposed to eat all of this and I think this is some these are some noodles here and this is probably some thin rice something oh okay this is going to be interesting but they're the most exciting part is going to be the the niche which is coming right away as well I'm getting a drink or something sweet I think okay okay thank you very much okay we have some some children riding a bottle on the on the can yes interesting um it smells like I don't know the English Village um it tastes like I could so I don't know what's like it's in English tasting a new drink oh okay we have some dipping sauce here which doesn't look spicy I guess so far I think the food in Vietnamese in Vietnam is not really spicy which is good for my stomach I think she's putting it on the grill here huh that's really good okay so they get uh prepared probably in the morning and when they're heated up on the grill here then yeah we have to find out how to eat this what I would imagine is that you roll it into these little things here together with some greens and maybe some noodles some some peanuts on top as well that looks really good actually so inside here is um yeah either beef or pork as far as I I know well I don't really know this fish but there are Depends to be honest that's my guess and how it looks like I would guess when the light is better so I guess this is going to be um yeah Beach Road in I don't know I don't think it's seaweed it looks a little bit like seaweed but I don't really think it is sweet okay and the next thing is coming okay okay thank you very much come on okay so we have one two three four five pieces of these one two three four five six pieces of these we have a dipping sauce here we have um yeah whatever this is we have some noodles here a lot of greens and some extras on the side which I also not sure what it is can you show me how to eat this yo you roll it in here yeah I have no idea how to eat this how do you eat this with the hands you eat with the hands and then you use this and that is my my guess that you roll it together with some greens in these uh yeah whatever this is I think it's like rice rice paper she can help me okay okay you make her like a like a wrap like create your own little wrap here okay that's my first time eating this so I don't know okay dude ostrich is mixing all kinds of different leaves now together okay it's not like mint here so one of these leaves is definitely mint and then she's adding some of these here okay let's just say noodles yeah okay come on I gotta remove that coat okay and then she adds one of these ah then you have to roll it oh thank you so much come on thank you okay and then you have a road you're almost like like a spring roll ah okay the next one I have to try on my own of course I got some chili ah then you oh yeah you can dip it in here okay let's dip it in here this is delicious and it's very fresh it has a very big minty kick to it so some of the leaves are definitely mint the sauce is um yeah not spicy at all I think the sauce is with fish there's a little fish flavor to it and I don't think that any of these ingredients are fishy I think that the fish taste is coming from the sauce I don't really like the meat inside you can clearly taste the meat although the meat is like only a small piece wrapped between all these greens oh I'm building some noodles okay that was really really good I lost one of the pizzas here what I really like about Vietnam so far it's relatively easy to eat healthy so um I'm still I'm currently in the process of air trying to to have an eye on life on my nutrition on my diet going to the gym eating healthy and Vietnam makes it really easy for me to eat healthy I mean look at this we have all the the wings here just some some plain noodles some vegetables meat nothing here is fried and oil nothing is really patchy okay let me try to do it on my own now so we're starting with this one now and then we are collecting some some leaves here so the whole process of preparing the food is a part of the experience I guess really nice so we're having some of these then adding some noodles here and these are coach noodles actually not that cucumber I guess okay and then I'm going to etch one of these here now we have to roll it okay my first set Roach whatever the name of this food is very good actually the texture here it's almost like a like plastic so it's very weird texture actually we're dipping it into the sauce here hmm it's really good it's really good okay you have to get used to eating this this is um yeah it almost feels like eating plastic so you have to really um chew it hard chew it a lot very chewy but yeah the combination of everything together is really great oh yeah okay so I finished uh obviously not all of the greens I think you're not supposed to finish all of this but of course all of the meat and the meat was very delicious and I was just curious what was the green thing that was left around the beef here the swast beef and this was pork if I'm not wrong and it's low lot leaves which to be honest I never heard of before it's this flange and that was the the green wrapping around the beef here called Low Lodge leaves which is often confused with Beetle leaves um and yeah apparently it's uh used in many Southeast Asian Cuisines oh okay that was very very good so very um delicious and I think also healthy meal and obviously okay the drink wasn't that healthy now because it's probably full with sugar but yeah I'm always Keen to try new things but this meal was very good let's see how much all of this is going to cost 177 . [Music] you can change this yeah okay thank you that was really good come on thank you very much okay so yeah look at how many of these schools they have here and then he's making some fresh on the grill here again okay thank you very much check it out first time I see a dark clouds here okay actually I feel like um so this was a proper meal but it was very light I don't feel like very filled up you know like sometimes when you eat too much you can get a food coma you know what I mean and I totally don't have this feeling right now which is awesome so actually maybe we can find something else something interesting maybe a little uh snake oh we have egg Tarts here as well oh I really like this if I can find something else looks like like a little cake mix let's see what I saw I'm really too tall for the Stalls here in Asia some some muffins nuts not really typical Vietnamese I would say maybe I can get one of these egg carts here I would like one of these here one place yeah I think it's a 10 000 tier ten ten thousands [Music] charts which are not really Vietnamese um I think originally they are from Portugal very warm very good I like it when it's still warm freshly made you don't know egg Parts you have to give it a try you can find them all over Southeast Asia I also ate them a lot in the Philippines for example hello people always uh happy and smiling here hello I think you can get a fruit juices here as well okay hello uh you have you make fresh fruit juice here juices you can mix together Apple and uh it's orange [Music] and banana mix everything together okay I'm not sure okay mixed together bananas I think there's we cannot mix together true okay then apple and orange [Music] or maybe it does milk go well together with apple and orange oh we're gonna find out okay and let's see I think I also have a sugar cane here which is also very delicious sugarcane right yeah yeah so you can um no no no just the juice just the juice yeah sugarcane obviously is also very delicious you can squeeze it to this machine here and then you get a very sweet juice with natural sugar yeah I think I always have today in dude I love this little uh shops this is not approved I said in the morning you can find them everywhere and yeah right here another one and I'm sure you can find more on this busy road here let's see what we will get here puts it right here carriage good yeah just putting the apples in here one after the other [Music] man can go together yeah but only on the apple and okay I think she was offering me another second a second juice oh I get a big one now okay no sugar that's very good yeah and okay okay thank you very much come on thank you very much okay I think I paid 35 now um that's okay so it's 10 000 long more expensive than the one I had in the morning but the one in the morning was only orange and this is orange and Apple so yeah this is my second juice like this already today you saw the first one in the morning
