I am in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City was formerly known as Saigon, but renamed renamed on July 2, 1976, after the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. It is the largest city in Vietnam (~8 million people) and one of the most dynamic and vibrant cities in Southeast Asia. So, I am super keen to be in Ho Chi Minh City! It is my first time here. Join me as we tour the city in this video to get some very 1st impressions of Saigon and of Vietnam in general. Let’s meet some people, try some food and feel the vibes of Ho Chi Minh City.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia. It is my goal here on the channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

It's a real shame to torture those poor birds. Would have been awesome if you punched that lady in the face and freed all those poor things. Don't ever give money to those evil people. I know you meant well though.
They not only used Chinese characters, but the Vietnamese language is very similar to Chinese
In my country Singapore use $$$ buy fish from Malaysia release. And Malaysia catch and sell to Singapore again and release again ….. Hahaha I'll do the luck business 1 day 🤔
I think you will love the food, very healthy and the people are really cool. I love visiting Vietnam.
be careful with your belongings.
wear backpack in front.
I hope they don't train those birds to come back after releasing them, that would be a lot of money for the vendor. lol
Up north is nice too, Hanoi & Sapa where the tribes speak some English.
Good for good luck in buddhisme
Looks like the birds triggered a lot of viewers
You are pretty kind to pay to set the bird free. But catching birds to sell them is not good. Then hunters will catch and re-sell them
That is not the tradition of the Buddha as well as of the Vietnamese people to be good and to live in peace with animals.
Hope you have nice experiences about Vietnamese people and country. Let's enjoy it and share a lot of videos to friends around the world. We always welcome you.
Wecome Viet Nam
i love you . them 10 tap di a kk
Oh blooody heeeellllll, you just missed Com Tam (Grilled pork with rice and fish sauce), a holy grail of food in HCM city
Ken, they can wear jackets because they have 0% body fat.😁 I would be sweating buckets!
Don't buy a bird, they just ransom them only to catch more.🙄
Stork represents new, birth. Turtle is wisdom and longevity.
You need to learn "how much?" In Vietnamese. Most vendors have calculators that they can show you numbers, but the numbers are so big it may not fit.😁
Please continue vlogging, I enjoy viewing your experiences in each new country 😊
Bạn cho phụ đề tiếng Việt với bạn
Sure most Vietnamese can't speak English well because they were never colonized by Britain like in Malaysia or USA colonization of the Philippines. 🙂 That looked like Chrysanthemum lemon tea.
So handsome
you are at bà chiểu market, really near my house.
It's a local big market not have many foreigners here.
Welcome to Vietnam!
I was right..ur in vietnam..
Hi can you please also visit Myanmar Yangon? So many Thai and other Vloggers are exploring it now but no Westerners
Saigon used to be called “Paris of the Orient” but no longer. Now it is dirty, littered, filthy, noisy, polluted and chaotic traffic with selfish, lawless drivers, snatch thieves, people are pushed off the sidewalk into street by motorcycles, etc. I’d call it a city from hell. Isn’t Bangkok so much better, nicht wahr?
Ken I'm at 6:27 and the woman is laughing because you keep speaking English and she doesn't understand a word. There are very few English speakers in Vietnam
stay positive & stay safe. would be along with your travel experience in vietnam.
China controlled Vietnam for many years in the past, from 111 BC-939 AD and 1407-1427. They celebrate the same same Chinese new year. Also they are a communist country like China. The last time China tried to invade Vietnam in 1979 they got their asses kicked and ran back after about a month. You don't mess with the Vietnamese in Vietnam, the Americans found that out the hard way 58,220 casualties later
you were a good man to buy one bird and reliease 🙂 nice experience !
Enjoy your tour in Viatnam,love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️
