come to an end. They're actually boarding for my flight right now for VietJet air

to Hanoi, Vietnam and so I'm like just making it. I'm not late or anything like

that but they've already started the boarding process so I should be good

Anyways, what a whirlwind checking in through security and all this other stuff, it was

pretty crazy. Anyway this is kind of like a weird like

bittersweet moment. Korea's been an amazing adventure, I've met

some wonderful people here. Glad to experience my mother's home culture and

home country and all this other stuff and yeah, so kind of like bittersweet that I'm

leaving. But this was kind of necessary and I'm excited, I'm excited to do

something new and different, this is completely new for me.

And uh, let's go to Vietnam guys.

It's beautiful out here right now, it's very humid but there's a nice breeze. It took

forever to go through the whole Immigration process because I did the "Visa on arrival"

But I got that squared away, changed all my money to Vietnamese Dong

I got a SIM card, I'm good to go, now I'm going to go find my taxi that was setup by my

awesome Airbnb host Harold and we're going to the Hoan Kiem area.

At the Airbnb, I wanted to show you guys around so let's go take a look.

So this is the front door you come in. Got this like nice little kitchen spot going

on here and to the side is the bathroom with a shower and there's a

cabinet with like all kinds of stuff towels and stuff. I used that towel

earlier dry my hands. And it also has a little bidet hose. There you go. A little

hose for washing the bunghole and yeah. This is simple bathroom and this is what

the layout looks like from a different angle, it's got a nice little kind of a

sofa thing ,a glass coffee table, got a fan, a little TV, definitely got AC

Necessary. And this is the bedroom so it's a nice queen-size bed and this also

has air conditioning. Can't open those windows but you can open these. You can

also open up those as well, so I did when I first came in here and kind of aired

out the place and yeah, so I got my crap right here. And it's kind of cool, there's

some neat like little alleyway behind here and let me open up the window and

kind of show you guys this view.

So you got the roof level of someone's house.

There's another house.

like right below is an alleyway yeah and so this is the Hoan Kiem area of Hanoi.

One of the first things I'm remembering from visiting here in 2015 was all the

motorcycles. Holy crap!

Okay I apologize for the noise, it's going to be very windy in here because they have all

these fans running, it's very humid, but I'm at this place recommended by my cab

driver called Pho Thin and essentially there's only one thing on the menu, it's

Pho Bo and you just come in, you sit down, and then they also have these like dough

sticks that you can get and then you'll use that to like soak up some of the

soup. So I'm going to go ahead and try some of it for you.

Alright, going for the goodness, let's try that broth, oh my god.

First meal in Vietnam.

Oh my god!

That soup broth is so deep.

It's light, it has like a nice clean light flavor but it's so deep also at the same time.

Great recommendation by the taxi driver.

Get some of that meat on there.

Some noodles.

Wow that meat has an awesome like smokiness to it.

Wow this is stuff like I've never tried ever in the States or Korea

or in Japan. Wow!

Let's try with the bread. It's kind of like a little donut/baguette

kind of a thing

Dip it in the soup.

Mmmmmm

That's really good!

I highly recommend this place.

You guys don't even know... I'm so stuffed I'm probably dribbling

like a little baby. It was nice and spicy, that was awesome! I need to learn more

about ingredients because there was stuff I don't know what it was. I know that

there was cilantro, the spicy sauce I don't know what it's made of, but it's

definitely hot and really tasty and yeah, like I just need to learn more about

this stuff, but I'm glad that this is one of the first places I ate at in Hanoi.

It's right here behind me, Pho Thin.

All right I probably just got jacked by some lady for the fruit, but probably not

by much, but she definitely was playing me as the tourist, which I am. I only know

how to say up to five in Vietnamese anything after that I get really

confused and so yeah I think she kind of robbed me just a little bit but I

definitely walked away with a ton of fruit. Got this whole stalk of bananas

which is really nice. So I probably paid around maybe twelve dollars for this

that's my rough estimate. I know that doesn't sound like a lot - this for twelve

dollars is insane (cheap!) but yeah I could definitely tell that she was riding me

for the price. Probably if I went there more frequently, she would give me more

local prices.

Alright, so while I'm cooling off, I actually wanted to eat one of these

bananas and they're like little mini bananas. I don't know exactly what type

of bananas species they are but it looks good. Let's find out. Fruit is good.

Mmmm, very sweet! It almost reminds me of Apple bananas in Hawaii, little baby

Apple bananas. That was really good, it's like, it's got girth, but um

Yeah this is really good holy shit. My breakfast for the next few days is set.

Alright, now I'm going to end the evening up here on the roof of the

AirBNB. I forgot to show this to you guys in the daytime I completely forgot about

it, but this is where the washing machine is

There's a bathroom up here. This is a pretty chill patio area you can see like

behind me is this like relief painting thing and some chairs.

I bought some beer, I picked up some Heineken. Heineken was 27,000 VND.

I picked up four cans, that's roughly seven dollars and change, so less than

eight dollars I think and I think for four tall boys of Heineken at that price is

pretty good. I was aiming for the Hanoi Bia, the local canned beer, but I was

walking like all over the place and I couldn't find anything, I couldn't find a

little mom-and-pop mini-mart. Nothing. Yeah anyways up here there's kind of

like a nice view of a lake and stuff like that it's really hard to see at

night, this camera doesn't do so well in low light but I just wanted to share this

with you guys. You can see someone did their laundry and it's like hanging

right here in the background. Anyway I'm going to go ahead and chill out up here

try to enjoy some breeze cool down with a Heineken and yeah. That's day one in

Hanoi! Thanks for watching guys, please subscribe to the channel, please leave

any comments and questions down below, I'll definitely answer them.

FeedTheCory.com is still under construction, but I will try to have that up like within a

week and yeah. Stay tuned for more food videos and I'll see you guys later bye!!!
