Our First Time in Saigon Vietnam 🇻🇳 Shocked by Ho Chi Minh City! 😲
It's our first time in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam! We were previously in the North of Vietnam but didn't have time to get to the south. Today we're exploring Saigon District 1 and 2 including some tourist hot spots. We also get a bit off of the tourist beaten path in the trendy District 2, Saigon.
We start things off in one of the main squares of Saigon that has the statue of Ho Chi Minh and is right next to City Hall (People's Committee Building). After walking around and trying to cross the street we make our way to the Saigon Central Post Office.
We then head almost next door to My Banh Mi where we have some absolutely delicious Banh Mi Sandwiches.
Because the main cathedral is right next door we head there. Unfortunately Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon is under construction so you can't see much of it and can't go inside.
After visiting Ho Chi Minh City Book Street we go back to District 2 where we're staying.
District 2 is much more quiet than District 1, and seems to be the trendy and ex-pat area. We take a walk through the quiet streets and also grab a delicious Coconut coffee. Afterwards we take a walk around the trendy area.

Go on the food tour in each of the city if you're not familiar with the food. "Chase and Shelbs" showed a great video from the waterpark in Phu Quoc (also amazing food tour in HCMC and great restaurant in Hue), "2Passports 1Dream" had a great video from Da Lat, "Alright Anton!" shows great drone footage from Hue and Ninh Binh, etc. If you go to Hoi An, "Steph and Shelbs" found an awesome food tour there and MomDuty used "Jack Tran Tours" for doing stuff around the area that looked so cool. And in Hanoi, MomDuty and "Flora and Note" had awesome food guides there. If you're adventurous, go caving in Phong Nha, do the mud bath and canyoning in Nha Trang, etc.

Just like food there, helmets in Commie Vietnam don't pass safety tests, unfortunately. That's one of the reasons traffic deaths there top the list in the region.

Nice. Glad you guys are open to stay in Vietnam for an extended time. I was born in Saigon and left as a toddler to the states. Been in the states for over 40 years now. Would love to go back and visit Vietnam. You guys should check out Max McFarlin's videos. He has been living in Saigon for over 3 years I think. He actually speaks good southern Vietnamese now.
We were already so excited for our trip to Vietnam in a few weeks but now we're even more excited after watching your video! Can't wait to try the coconut coffee, it looks delicious!

Great to see you guys in Ho Chih Minh City! Yes, that place has the most hectic traffic I had ever seen. I was there in 2009. Scooters everywhere and people even rode on the sidewalks if they were impatient! I almost got hit while looking at fruit in a market! Couldn't get away from them! Hopefully you can try some 333 beers! 🍺

Tip for crossing street in Vietnam: Many tourist foreigners scared of traffic in VN . Don’t worry about it! The rule to win this fear is keep routin slowly walking when you across the streams of motobike! motor-bykers knows how to avoid you themself in chaos-order! remmember do not run and stop suddently , accident immidiatly ! Don’t be affraid off and do it if you want to be safety in the crazy- traffic in Vietnam.

Travel is a wonderful experience, for sure! Enjoy your time there. Re: religion... just because a large percentage do not have a religion, does not mean they are atheists, they just do not go to church or practice the Buddhist way, etc. They just don't do anything. Some are atheists, certainly, but not all. Happy to know that there are more and more Christians there.
I can't wait to go back!! I was there in November and very excited to return in April!! If you get the chance have the green rice ice cream or any ice cream flavor! The ice cream is amazing just like the Vietnamese people!!

When you mention district 2 being the expat centre reminds me of an area behind where I stayed in district 1. It was funny because district 1 is very Vietnamese and right behind the hotel was the back packer row. Look up the banana pancake trail. It's funny every city on the trail has an area that caters to westerners looking for an authentic experience. Yet it is more unauthentic than areas back packers look down on. It is fascinating would be a good video or series documenting these areas. They are fun to visit as it takes me back to being younger and gives a peak into this subculture. And funny to see how each area from country to country is closer to each other than to the host country areas.

How much banknotes should be carried to get through 1 day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Did you have any gut issues eating street vendors food? Would you recommend district 2 to sleep in and district 1 for social activities?
