I am in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam it's my
first time here and check out the traffic here the stereotype about this city seems
to be true the traffic is intense honking everywhere motorcycles everywhere this already
an adventure just to take a ride through the city and what I see a lot here what really surprises
me is most of the local people are wearing long jackets even like gloss on their hands like
you can see at my my driver here he also has a gloves and they have long jackets and I I
get it they do that because they want to get the sun on there they don't want to get the sun on
their skin but wow it is hot here over 30 degrees I'm not sure if I could do that like see all the
locals here having uh long jackets hello singtel yeah I'm I'm the only person
here riding with just a t-shirt okay even with the bicycle
through the traffic here okay I already learned uh two words whenever I'm
in a new country I like to learn a few words so the first word I learned is Xin Chao which means
a hello and a gum earn which means thank you hello first impressions of the locals here they're smiling a lot seem to be
very friendly and welcoming oh and all these motorbikes there behind me wow oh being right here in the middle of the
traffic yeah these are already some really nice First Impressions I love it here so far
it's literally just my first day so it seems to be pretty organized here always the the
cars on the on the left side over there and then this Lane on the right side always for the
for the scooters for the motorbikes so it looks a bit like a like chaos at the beginning but
I think it's actually pretty organized here okay come on thank you very much how to open this okay thank you very much come on thank you
you can buy little birds here on the street oh my god there must be like hundreds of
little birds in this little cage here huh how much they are there's nobody
here at the moment to sell them also the store here oh they have sugar cane here but nobody here oh hello somebody here oh there's a guy coming hello
can I get sugar cane juice sugar cane uh to uh two three one yeah okay
I didn't have sugar cane juice fresh for for quite a while actually let's see how he makes
it ah oh yeah with this little machine here stick through the machine and then yeah the juice gets squeezed out of
the machine or out of the stick I should say and then somewhere there must be
like a cup or a glass where the juice is falling into basically
probably it's somewhere down here [Music] foreign let's see where the juice is oh
this looks really good how much how much how much money do you get
[Laughter] I think they want to show 20 000 okay let's see if I have 20 000 car
in here 10 20 000.
Okay oh come on thank you okay let's taste it right away oh this is actually
a really really big big cup of sugar cream juice oh very good very good thank you oh she's laughing maybe she also sells the bird are
these real birds how much for the for the birds I'm curious how much you
have to pay for them for the birds yeah I'm wondering if um maybe you can buy them and
kind of release them for good luck that's what they do in Thailand sometimes are one bird twenty
thousand and then you the left and fly oh I think that's what they do they they live the release of
us so I paid 20 000 and then the birds fly yeah okay okay okay wait I think I have to pay for it
okay let's uh set one of these Birds free we can change I get a bird now okay I just bought a bird in Vietnam but
I'm going to give this little guy a freedom hello guy oh his heart is beating a lot okay let's
see if I can feed it well but that's three three okay bye bye little guy there he goes I bought you
Freedom oh okay that was an interesting experience and um is it good luck good luck oh difficult okay yeah I think um maybe someone in the comment
section if you know about this maybe you can explain in the comments I think people do it
for good luck there's a Temple here as well so I think if you release it in front of a temple
or near Temple it's supposed to bring you luck but uh yeah so unfortunately I can't uh free you
all guys okay thank you very much I can go inside can I have a look yeah okay thank you thank you
come on oh okay oh they have more birds here right so here right in front of the temple you have
more birds okay let's see if we can actually have a look at the temple um actually this looks uh
Chinese to me there's Chinese writing on top of it so maybe this is a Chinese temple here yeah I
guess because yeah China is not far away from Vietnam it's actually bordering in Northern
Vietnam because of that I think there will be quite a lot of Chinese people living here
in Vietnam and also here in Ho Chi Minh City okay before we continue to explore this interest
ing one quick word about internet security I am sure by now you have all heard about VPN
services and the VPN is a tool that lets you virtually change the location of your phone
or your laptop to basically anywhere in the world and if you are not using a VPN service yet
I highly recommend to start using one personally I am using surfsharkvpn for well over one and a half
years already I can highly recommend them and I am using them almost every single day basically for
two reasons the first reason is for security if you're connected to a VPN it encrypts the data
that is sent between your phone or your laptop and the internet and therefore your private
information your personal data becomes safer the second reason why I'm using a VPN almost
every single day is to unblock geo-restricted content some websites offer different types of
content depending on your location Netflix for example has totally different content libraries
depending on your location depending on your country and yeah like I said the VPN service
that I am using is surfsharkvpn it is the only VPN to offer One account for unlimited devices

to explore around okay so I'm curious what this place is so I just opened a Google Maps and it's
the mausoleum of Levan duet okay it says here in German colorful Temple and Tombstone of General
Lee Van duet and his wife so maybe he was like a famous general of the Vietnamese army or something
like that let's have a look what's going on here I see some locals taking pictures here dressed up in
probably traditional dresses looks really colorful is this a Vietnamese dress yes yes oh so you're
taking pictures dressed uh as traditional okay oh that's very beautiful yeah thank you that
looks very nice and I like it it's so colorful yeah like green and red yellow oh that's very
nice what is this place here what is this Temple yeah because I see a Chinese characters
it's a Chinese temple no no no no good so it's not a Chinese temple because I see on the on the
entrance there's Chinese characters it's not Chinese because Vietnamese people
are used to use a Chinese communicate to each other in the past Vietnamese also
used to have Chinese characters yes oh I didn't know that I learned the
first thing already today sure sure let's take a picture sorry sorry I'm so tall yeah oh there's water coming where's
the water coming from okay okay how do you say cheese in Vietnam um this is your teacher oh so
many so many people joining now how do you say in Vietnam nice to meet you okay nice to meet you thank you bye-bye bye-bye
that was a lovely first impression of the Vietnamese people so far very nice hello okay
okay um yeah maybe let's have a quick look at the temple as well so I already learned the
first interesting thing that the Vietnamese people used to use Chinese characters as well
so this is um yeah the characters on top of here which you can see and let's have a quick
look inside but I will not talk because I see people doing some prayers there so that's
just uh get a quick impression without my voice oh looks nice right these temples
are usually very uh impressive quite astonishing to look at and here
we have the the two tombstones I guess but there seems to be an important place
for the Vietnamese people I also see some some offerings although there are some
oranges and some drinks people praying here and this looks also very um
astonishing here right like a golden uh yeah what is it a birch standing on top of a
of a turtle that is very interesting I would really like to uh to know the meaning behind
it if any one of you watching this video can explain please do it in the comment
section I'm happy to learn about it actually what I just see check this out this
is uh shaped as a as a dragon so they cut the bush so that it looks like a like a dragon here
right you can see that the dragon face from the from the front here it looks like his typical um Chinese dragon these dragons that you for
example see a Chinese New Year everywhere very unique very cool okay so this random
stop turned out to be very interesting and it all started with me drinking some sugarcane
juice you know ordering some sugar cane juice oh we have some some street food places here not
sure what they are cooking here he's cooking a lot of eggs over there hello I think this is a ban
me Vietnamese baguette hello yeah it's very good it's good oh okay maybe we can maybe we can try
one of these baguettes here like always it's very famous in Vietnam and you can get it with
meat and with more meat and some greens can I get one what do you put on on top of it this is a
party I think that's pork and this one pork pork I think it must be part I think they're not understanding me but
that's okay but I think it's all pork okay okay okay and uh some vegetables yeah okay yeah
let's see what happens happy to try how much 25.
