Our first time in VIETNAM! 🇻🇳 Exploring Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) + Cu Chi Tunnels!

Hello from VIETNAM! If you missed our last video, we are spending 6 weeks in this beautiful country and are LOVING it so far! And for our first stop, we spent a few days in Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon. We explored some of its top sights, visited tunnels from the Vietnam War, ate local foods, and more! 🔗Links Our camera hiking gear: ⌚Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:05 Riding the Saigon Waterbus 02:35 Our first Vietnamese Coffee at Cheo Leo Cafe 04:07 Eating bánh mì from Bánh Mì Hồng Hoa 06:21 Cute puppy break! 06:37 Tao Dan Park 07:12 Visiting the Reunification Palace 08:59 Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral 09:42 Hunting for postcards on Book Street 10:28 The most BEAUTIFUL Post Office ever! 11:48 Our first impressions of Ho Chi Minh City 13:10 Trying Bún thịt nướng from Nguyễn Trung Trực 14:55 Views from the Saigon Skydeck 16:10 Nguyễn Huệ Street at night! 17:52 How we spent a day off camera 18:21 Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels 24:50 Our first pho in Vietnam! 27:07 War Remnants Museum 28:21 Exploring Ben Thanh Market 📍Locations in this vlog To see everywhere we went in this video, plus a bunch of spots we visited off camera, check out this custom Google Map, which you can download to your phone!
