First Day In Saigon 🇻🇳 Ho Chi Minh City Is WILD!

Our first day in Saigon was wild! We give you our first impressions of Ho Chi Minh city by starting the day out with a hearty local breakfast. Afterwards we ventured out onto the streets to get a feel for the area. There is so much to do and see we found ourselves exploring for hours while being fully entertained. The food, coffee, people, and crazy traffic made our day one of the best! Follow us along to see Vietnam’s biggest city in all its glory!

You guys are friggin' hilarious. That bartering moment had us legitimately lol'in. We miss Vietnam so much! Love that you guys actually check out all the little side street restaurants. They tend to be some of the best. Proper *literal* street food. 🤩

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Hahaha thank you! We are all about the bartering 😂👏🏼 the restaurants that some people wouldn’t visit, we have no problems! You are right and those ones are often some of the best and most local. We are here for it!

[@phuongnghi7163]

Professional in making a good deal bro...personally, I'm Vietnamese but I cannot have a good discount like u did!!! So amazing haha.

i need those skills too 😂

Thật là vui khi 2 bạn ghé mua cà phê Nguyễn thiệp..xem clip thật vui.... Yêu Vietnam và cám ơn rất nhiều.nhiều......

[@cryptoman9781]

I was born in Vietnam but haven’t been back almost 30 years. It had changed so much. I missed the street foods a lot.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We hope you can go back some day!! 👏🏼 the street food is incredible!

[@philly5735]

Im Vietnamese Canadian n its good to see fellow Canadians enjoying their time in Vietnam. I miss the lifestyle there, food is better quality n cheaper than in Canada. Haven't been back since 2002, lots have changed, i can tell by videos on KZbin

[@kauchand]

Shelby's subtle makeup is always on-point! Adorable couple supporting each other.

[@cuocsonghanhtrinh2292]

Welcome back to Vietnam. I'm glad you chose Vietnam to travel. I have been following your channel for a long time. Wish you both have an interesting trip to Vietnam. Wishing you both happiness

[@medaviate]

I visited Saigon in 2006. My first memory of Saigon was a very strong frickin coffee yet very delicious. A small frickin cup of black coffee with a tiny bit of condensed milk sat on those tiny short chairs and tables, after I finished half of that tiny cup my head was spun upside down, my dad was frickin out. Those old Vietnamese guys laughing at me crazily Lol. I was on my way to the hotel. then when I got back to the hotel the Hotel guy told me that the coffee was called Diesel coffee because they mixed it with a little amount of diesel. I find it hard to believe him. Anyway, guys, I had a great time there as well, but I was in love with Dalat and Hue palace. uh, I want to go again. thank you guys for this fun and joyful video. Peace

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Omg haha that’s a perfect explanation of Vietnam coffee! It’s so strong but absolutely delicious!! We would hope they wouldn’t mix diesel in it.. we can’t see them doing that to people.. We would also love to go to Dalat some day. Maybe on our next stopover, so far it’s been amazing just like the last time we came 😍 thanks for watching friend!

[@jessecao8596]

Welcome back to 'Nam, my beloved Saigon and old stomping ground. Love your attitude and jolliness--such a joy to watch. Best wishes!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Yay! That makes us happy you enjoyed watching us explore around Saigon. It’s such a fun city and really comes to life at nice. We loved it! Cheers ♥️

[@ngochieu_nguyen]

This is how you bargain! Believe me or not, many Vietnamese cannot bargain that way (especially young people) And you guys are also exploring Vietnam the right way!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! We do our best haha. It’s so fun to bargain and find the best deals! More exploring to come 🤩🙏🏼

[@jamgou]

Or maybe just pay a couple more dollars for these people who probably have next to nothing. I cringe at you guys bargaining.

[@ngochieu_nguyen]

@@jamgou Ask literally anyone and they'll tell you that you MUST bargain at Ben Thanh Market, that's just how things work here. If you sympathize with everyone, no one's going to sympathize with you being overcharged for something that is worth 1/3 the price that they told you. Also, people who got a stall at Ben Thanh aren't the ones who "got nothing". Buying a stall here probably costs billions of Vietnamese dong, and renting one costs tens of millions of dong a month.

[@jamgou]

@@ngochieu_nguyen I wouldn’t be asking for sympathy. I’d only want to give to people who are less fortunate and not haggle over USD3. I’m sure not all of the workers are also the owners… my apologies if the generosity of others offends you.

[@ngochieu_nguyen]

@@jamgou "I’m sure not all of the workers are also the owners". Well I live here, I have relatives who work at Ben Thanh market, so I should be the one who's sure of anything tbh

[@astronotty]

What theyre eating around 6:04 reminds me more of "banh mi op la" . When I eat it at home, it's usually just baguette, sunny side up eggs, soysauce, and chili sauce. Fun act, it's derived from the french term "Oeufs au Plats".

[@paradigmshift7541]

7:54 A very common breakfast for me is Vietnamese(french) Baguette, Pate (Canada makes a pate under the Flower brand that many Vietnamese banh mi shops use in the U.S.), Egg, and light splash of Maggi/Golden Mountain; absolute prefection. The pate used for Banh Mi is not super fatty and rich like French foie gras, which Vietnam obviously drew a lot of inspiration from, it's more like a spreadable liverwurst or braunschweiger, so good on bread. A light splash of seasoning sauce or soy sauce on eggs is KEY!! 15:55 Shelby kinda nailed the Banh Canh Cua I do my best to let my ice coffee melt a bit to tone down the sweetness, but sometimes I can't resist, it's just too good! I was hoping you guys would have tried Banh Xeo in this one since you guys had Banh Khoai in Hue and they look similar.

[@edwardstipp8145]

She is right....Saigon is amazing, wonderful people & history everywhere. Been over there 13 times since 07....helping students.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! We loved it. Cheers Edward that’s amazing 🥰

[@teagreentree]

Wish I could travel with either one of you...To be honest, when KZbin suggested your channel I clicked on it and immediately thought, "These guys look too beautiful: probably not good." I was totally wrong. You two are beautiful inside and out. Thank you!

[@bobstevens457]

Before you like it too much realize the whole government of the communist state of Vietnam was founded on the blood of murdered landlords. Ho Chi Minh slaughtered at least 15,000 landlords in a land reform in the early 1950s -- Ken Burns showed this of Ho.

i was there with my girlfriend last Friday before flying to Phu Quoc island. Although it was only a one night stay at Ho Chi Minh city but i felt alive through the night life! Definitely would visit Vietnam again if got the chance!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

This city comes alive at night it’s crazy! We loved our stay in Ho chi min. Enjoy Phu Quoc too, it’s a beautiful island. ♥️

[@iammarccolomayt82094]

Enjoy!!!! 🤩💖

[@kaboshiVT]

Just wanted to comment on your comment about the coffee. Vietnamese Coffee is usually concentrate, which is why they add a lot of ice. Typically you want to take your time and let the ice melt a bit. That's why its so strong :)

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Ohh that makes sense! Is it sad we love to chug them right away!? 😂👏🏼 strong and sweet = heaven!

[@kaboshiVT]

​@@ChaseandShelbs Not at all! Especially if you're traveling its understandable. Just don't consume too much at once 🤣

Having a dejavu when I lost my chest bag together passport since I while eating on the side of the street just like what you did.. Since I was so hungry i was absent minded that people am taking advantage of some tourist.. Thats the sad part but after all Vietnam was a lot of fun!. Foods are great😢

[@artnarvaez2491]

Miss that side of the road chowing down bahn mi opla with a little sprinkling of dust from the bikes whirring by. Priceless.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

No kidding hey haha! It’s what the travelling is all about!

[@th51bis]

It was fun to view your videos. You walked across streets so well!. Watching this video I hope you enjoyed your trip visiting of Saigon, Viet-Nam, Phu Quoc island and street food. I have not tried "bánh mì chảo" (chảo = pan).. We, Vietnamese living in the U.S. and oversea, and local Vietnamese living in Saigon still call "SAIGON".

[@paradigmshift7541]

I appreciated they mentioned the original name Saigon as well, very respectful and thoughtful.

If you're heading up north, then go to Da Lat. Then head to Phong Nha and do a caving adventure, if you're into that. Also don't miss Ninh Binh (climb the mountain to the dragon on top and do the boat rides in the area).

Vietnamese coffee is meant to be sipped slowly. If it's too sweet, it's because the ice hasn't melted yet. Let the ice melt and sip slowly, which will dilute the sweetness. It's not meant to be chugged down like Starbucks.

[@donnapham2637]

I am so glad you know how to bargain when shopping in Vietnam. You have to bargain especially when buying clothing, shoes, hand bags, jewelry, and almost everything. They usually charge more for tourists than local people.

[@calvin6316]

The original name for the city is Saigon. No one's really know where the name Saigon came from or the meaning of the word. Some says its was name by the Vietnamese ethnic minorities/tribal people who once upon a time inhabited the area long before it became a city, town or even village. So Saigon exist long before Ho Chi Minh even born. After the war they rename the city Ho Chi Minh to commemorate him, although many people still call the city Saigon. I'm a Vietnamese New Zealander, shout out to all the Kiwis out there!

It's called Saigon since 1862. Prior to 1862, it's called Gia Ðịnh. After 1975, the communists took over South Vietnam, and they name it Ho Chi Minh. The majority of South Vietnamese only know the city as Saigon.
