I explore the alleys around Đề Thám Street in Cô Giang Ward, District 1, Saigon, Vietnam. Cô Giang Ward and Đề Thám Street are a short walking distance from Bui Vien Walking Street, a tourist hot spot famous for it’s many bars, restaurants, and hostels. This Co Giang ward is basically like the backyard of Bui Vien, and there are tons of alley neighborhoods around here that you’ve likely never seen.
I find some interesting alley neighborhoods on this walk, and interact with some locals in Vietnamese. I need to improve my Vietnamese speaking skills, because while editing I do notice that I’m often making mistakes and not being particularly polite in the way I speak. I hope the viewers know that this doesn’t come from a place of disrespect, but rather a place of elementary skill in speaking Vietnamese. I will get better.
I love doing these alley exploration videos because it feels like a glimpse into a sort of secret part of Saigon, giving me an otherwise unknown perspective on local life and culture.
During this exploration, I get some delicious iced Vietnamese coffee and some fresh sugarcane juice.
It started to rain so I cut this alley/neighborhood exploration a little bit short, but I look forward to publishing more videos exploring this neighborhood and its many interesting alleys, markets, restaurants, and more!
For anyone traveling to Ho Chi Minh City and looking for things to do close to Bui Vien Street, taking a walk around the surrounding local neighborhoods like Co Giang Ward are a free and interesting activity!
