Bicycle Touring South East Asia: CRAZY SAIGON TRAFFIC | Cycling the World 60

okay [Music] [Music] [Music] all right we're now taking a little break on the beach and uh it's really beautiful there are a lot of resorts here but there's also another site on this beach when the resorts kind of end then you've got this really really filthy beach it's so super obvious super clear right now how polluted everything is i can see plastic particles everywhere here in the waves and it's really terrible to see actually and people just don't really seem to care as well because you can just see people finishing their food and their drinks and they just throw it away you can definitely feel the presence of yeah what used to be french colonialism here even build it nowadays like that we didn't see any traditional housing here compared to laos that's very different and there are big mansions here this part of vietnam where we are riding right now on the coast this is really for the wealthy people a lot of resorts almost all the coastline is claimed by big landowners it's a pretty big contrast compared to all the little wooden shacks that you see on the other side of the road [Music] hi so we're preparing uh to post a video for you guys i'm running doing a little write up for instagram so we hope you will enjoy topio tokyo video yes we decided to make a stop very early in the day have a stroll along the beach and now we're invited here with a lovely family to join them with their dinner and they just played a wonderful song for us so that's really cool maybe now the karaoke stars because my vietnamese is fantastic so they should be in for a treat [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] um m [Music] so we're getting ready for the breakfast and this morning we were already woken up pretty early by the dogs barking and there was also already some people coming to this hotel this hostel place and i think there are ladies of pleasure that are here are working with these uh with these men that are coming here little before them and this guy closes the door and then a little bit later there's a lady coming it's really strange but this vietnamese music the dogs barking we are cooking breakfast here [Music] [Music] [Music] good night thanks all right i really need it because i'm a little bit shaky so let's get some energy can you tell us what it is wow this is a cane juice it's really really tasty it's really sweet and even got a kind of a ginger taste to it ginger lemony taste with a lot of sweetness and it's good wow it's really sweet it's a super smoothie it's really sweet delicious it's delicious [Music] when we are now in the south of vietnam we are actually heading to cambodia and today we made the plan to catch a ferry because there's a going going a ferry all the way from the coast through the river to the center of ho chi minh we think that could be pretty exciting people in the south are much more relaxed i don't know if that's because of the weather or a different type of culture or religion or i'm not sure but people are not shouting at us anymore and they're actually quite friendly almost everybody so that's a pretty big difference so we have the tickets it's very affordable only seven dollars per ticket so let's go and take you on the boat to hold you in cool okay we're in the ferry right now and did you get your first corona chair yeah we got our temperature just checked um yeah we see a lot of posters and people are really getting more and more careful about it and unfortunately we cannot film outside the windows are really foggy and we cannot go outside as well to film supposed to be a very beautiful ferry ride but yeah for the next time so see a little later baby now we're gonna get out of here we're gonna do that it's gonna be hectic [Music] nice big city city vibes [Music] [Music] uh so we're here at a vegan restaurant we ordered a hot pot and this is a wonderful dish we here have a soup with all kinds of vegetables in there and then some noodles and some other fresh herbs and some cabbage and then we can dunk it in the boiling soup eat it it's delicious so let's do it it's very hot be careful not to burn your mouth got some pineapple there's some mushrooms in here some broccoli it's really there's a lot of ingredient in there [Music] [Applause] [Music] as you can tell we're now in the middle of ho chi minh looking for a hotel we arrived around four o'clock today so we were pretty late and we're finding ourselves in the middle of the city it's extremely intense and busy if you just go with the flow the cycling seems quite okay but yeah it's now already dark so we have to find a place to sleep and tomorrow we will cycle out of the city but we are ready to go to the border of cambodia see you tomorrow we're now around 500 meters before the cambodian border and uh it's known for its private scans so we hope everything goes smoothly we're not really sure what we're gonna do yet if they tried to drive us last time we argued from the border from uh we had a big discussion almost got into a fight so we really hope this one goes a little smoother but we also don't want to encourage them to drive everyone in the future so yeah let's hope it goes smoothly and we will see
