Welcome to the series where I attempt to survive in a random city around the world on only $20 a day.

Today we're in Saigon, also known as Ho Chi Minh City.

This city of 9 million is known to be affordable,

but how affordable is it?

Today I will attempt to pay for breakfast,

lunch, dinner, local transportation and lodging all for under $20.

Can I do it?

Let's find out.

Behind me a breakfast location serving something known as Cam Tam Pan Mee.

Now these are two different iconic Vietnamese foods that evidently are fusing together at this location.

Gumtam is broken rice.

On the side it usually has a pork chop.

It has eggs, fish sauce, pickled daikon, and carrots.

But here they say they are serving that inside a sandwich.

This is something I have never heard of before.

Right here you can see they're making some delicious beef patties over charcoal.

It's hot, it's sizzling, it smells delicious.

Soon that'll be going into our banh mi.

Right here we have our mean banh mi maker.

Let's do it.

It all starts with the banh mii cut in half.

The first thing she puts in there is pickled daikon and carrot and then hukum Oh,

hukum, hukum, hukum, hukum, hukum, hukum, hukum, hukum, hukum.

Thank you.

Then she puts in some cilantro.

From here, she puts in pork skin and a bit of pork meat.

Something that you would find usually on a gumtang plate.

From here, we have a beef patty.

This right here is called shumai.

It's a meatball with a salted egg inside of it.

And then we have some scallion oil going on last.

From here, she hits it with some hot chilies.

And that is ready to go.

I'm not eating it.

Breakfast is served.

A dollar fifty cents total for this right here.

It looks glorious.

Many of these are ingredients that you would see in a traditional plate of gum tom except for the pork chop.

For some reason, they replaced that protein with beef.

I'm gonna start with this actually.

That's just fried pork skin.

This is one of the best things you could eat.

I mean, not for your heart,

but oh my god, for your soul.

That's good.

Now I will attempt to close the banh mi.

It is a very crispy banh mi.

All I taste is beef, sugar, and fish sauce.

Incredible.

As you go deeper into the banh mi,

it's like getting deeper into a relationship.

The banh mi is revealing more of itself to me.

And no, it's not a lot of childhood trauma.

It's pickled daikon and carrot,

offering a little bit of sourness.

It's super spicy chilies.

And it's this pork skin,

which has a little bit more crunchy, tough texture.

Right here, coming up on the sumai.

Oh, what?

I thought it was a whole salted egg yolk.

Very deceiving visually.

Mmm.

That yolk, it is a little bit chalky,

but it does have that nice,

unique flavor that you can really only find with a salted egg yolk.

Meanwhile, the pork makes up for any dryness because it is so juicy,

fatty, and also full of fish sauce flavor.

So far we are 7.5% into our total budget for the day.

We have a lot more to see and a lot more to do.

From here, we're gonna head to a market.

Let's move now and see what we find.

Welcome to the market.

Behind me, Cho Ba Chu.

Cho means market.

Ba Chu is Grandma Chu.

Thank you grandma, sweet market.

I always say going to a market is one of the best ways to get to know a new country.

You can see the spices,

the seasonings, the types of meat,

the ingredients of iconic recipes,

all of it in its raw form,

waiting to be made into something delicious.

Let's go take a look and see what we can find.

Okay, listen, there was a time in my life where I could have really used this for the back support.

Should I shop for my wife here?

Talking about Victoria's Secret.

This is, uh, Wynn's...

Well, it's definitely not a secret.

Immediately as you enter, you can see a vast variety of tropical fruits.

If you are a fruit lover,

Vietnam is a fruit paradise.

Also, motorbikes are allowed inside of here.

Okay, a couple more things right here.

Fresh tamarind still inside the husk.

Tamarind is often used for delicious sauces here in Vietnam.

Look, a dog.

100

What the?

101

What was that?

102

So many of the dogs in Vietnam are so short.

103

That was such a strange mix of breeds.

104

Right here, we have loads of local Vietnamese snacks.

105

Skip 7-Eleven, skip Family Mart,

106

go to a place like this to get real local snacks.

107

I'm talking so local, there's probably no FDA looking over what they're doing.

108

First of all, when it comes to rice paper,

109

nobody does rice paper better than Vietnam.

110

They have it in bags,

111

cut up portions of rice paper with different seasonings on top.

112

Right here, little rice paper rolls.

113

It looks like some delicious little joints,

114

but in fact, instead of anything mind-altering on the inside,

115

it looks like dry shrimp.

116

Flavorful.

117

Meanwhile, we have different types of rice paper.

118

This is a rice paper that's been dyed orange through the use of shrimp.

119

This is a rice paper that's been dyed yellow through the use of cassava and salted egg yolk.

120

Or maybe just egg, we don't know for sure.

121

Moving on!

122

Xin chào chì.

123

Xin chào chì.

124

Hello!

125

Alright folks, we have stumbled upon some jackfruit right here.

126

This is one of my favorite fruits in Southeast Asia.

127

These delicious pods are extracted from this right here.

128

This is a giant jackfruit,

129

and honestly, it can get up to,

130

I would say, about two times bigger than this You have to be very careful taking the jackfruit out

131

because this thing is also full of disgusting sticky latex

132

So the people who take it out like this lady right here an absolute pro

133

We've come to the ready-to-eat food section of the market here tons of grilled meats we've got pork We've got spring rolls.

134

It looks so delicious and it smells even better The problem is

135

that today I have to be disciplined with my money soon We're gonna be having an amazing affordable lunch,

136

but for now more market tour right here I spotted some interesting ready-to-eat food that I've never seen before in Vietnam.

137

I got my guy here since yo him

138

I Take a look this right here I'm told it sticky rice with green rice flakes

139

and then right here We have sticky rice,

140

but coated with mung bean they're put into these tiny bags

141

And evidently it's kind of a bit of a snack you can walk around

142

and eat it at the same time I was gonna order it except for it doesn't fit within my budget.

143

Are we enjoying this so far?

144

The food show where Sonny looks at the food wishes he could eat it and doesn't eat it.

145

Right here you can see motorbikes pulling up to a food spot grabbing lunch on the go

146

and then heading out to eat it on their own.

147

Right here they're selling two things one banhkat and two banhseo.

148

The banhseo is a sizzling pancake.

149

It's huge and it's absolutely delicious.

150

I ate breakfast just a moment ago and I'm already ready for more but not this.

151

So we have walked our way to the meat section of this market.

152

There's so much energy out here,

153

and there's so much food that you know is absolutely fresh,

154

because all of these animals were most likely alive this morning.

155

First of all, boom, chicken feet.

156

Oh, next to it, a little bit of brains.

157

Probably two pig brains, or a really f***ing smart chicken.

158

Oh my god, she's taking apart a foot right now.

159

These pig feet are used for delicious soups in Vietnam get braised for days until they're soft and delicious.

160

So there's all kinds of different pork cuts here,

161

and then they have all the organs separated and organized into different containers.

162

Then as you go down yonder, these are silkworm pupa.

163

Given enough time, that silkworm pupa would become a silk moth,

164

but instead they are ripped from their cocoon,

165

put there, and cooked into a meal.

166

Is that blood cubes?

167

Those would most likely be cut up into more manageable chunks and put into some kind of a soup,

168

something like a boon boon boon boon.

169

Delicious.

170

My wife hates it.

171

She always gives her blood cubes to me.

172

It's a great, that's why our relationship works.

173

Mainly that.

174

So that is the market.

175

There is a load to see here.

176

I wish I could show you more,

177

but we have to get to our next food destination.

178

Coming up, lunch.

179

All right, so to get a very good but still very affordable lunch,

180

you got to walk through a little bit of construction.

181

Boom, here it is.

182

Mi alphan.

183

So, mi is noodle, but alphan is a clam that's about this big.

184

It's one of the smallest clams that you will find in Vietnam.

185

Aside from being a very delicious and unique lunch, it's also very affordable.

186

Let's go see how it's made and then I'll tell you how much it costs.

187

Right now we're in the kitchen and this place is a hive of activity.

188

It's about 1230 right now.

189

Lunch is in full swing.

190

They have a load of different special ingredients laid out,

191

a lot of them seafood oriented.

192

It all starts over here with a Vietnamese instant noodle.

193

Bomi puts that in hot water to get it nice and soft and then that heads into the bowl.

194

We have Vietnamese coriander and morning glory going in and then a load of those clams.

195

From here, tiny little octopuses.

196

Then right here we have a load of razor clams.

197

Shrimpies going in next.

198

And then from here, we've got a delicious red broth.

199

Finally, a little bit of fried garlic.

200

On the side, a little bit of tamarind sauce.

201

And that is our lunch.

202

Thank you.

203

All right, folks, we have our second meal of the day.

204

I want to start with the shrimp right here,

205

but first let's talk about the price.

206

This entire bowl right here is only $1.85.

207

So far, we've had breakfast and lunch,

208

and we've spent only just a little bit over $3.

209

Incredible.

210

Regarding the shrimp, the shrimp does take a little bit of technique.

211

Let's try it out.

212

Oh, yeah.

213

That's good.

214

Classic bouncy shrimp.

215

It's been warmed up because of this broth.

216

A broth made of chicken stock,

217

margarine, garlic and cashew oil.

218

Let's give that broth a little bit of a taste.

219

Ooh, let's get some clams in there too.

220

It is a very sweet broth, savory.

221

You can taste the garlic,

222

but that cashew oil has a certain delicious sweet savory flavor to it.

223

It's really a flavor unique to Vietnamese seafood.

224

Speaking of seafood, right here we have a razor clam.

225

We're gonna wrap that around with some of these noodles.

226

Mmm.

227

Oh my lord, it's so good.

228

These noodles are indestructible.

229

This bowl has been sitting here for like six, seven minutes.

230

They're not bloated like me on a Saturday morning,

231

and they're just absolutely coated with that delicious flavor That's inside that broth.

232

The razor clams have such a lovely texture.

233

It's amazing that for this price You don't just get some of those tiny clams,

234

but you're getting a variety of seafood like this tiny baby octopus Let's drown him in some tamarind What am I doing?

235

So back Crunchy, chewy at the same time.

236

The tamarind sauce is a wonderful pairing.

237

It's a thick, syrupy sweet sauce a little bit tart Amazing cleanse the palate with a little bit of broth

238

This is what this place is really named after is these tiny little clams

239

Undeniable if you check my wallet so far you can see

240

that we've not spent that much money today But later we're gonna be heading to our laudan.

241

That is the hotel where I'm gonna be sleeping tonight.

242

Right now we're heading in that direction and I'm about to jump on some local transportation.

243

Let's move.

244

You see in the USA we have Uber,

245

but in Vietnam they have Grab.

246

Not only can you rent a car,

247

but here you can also rent a bike.

248

I think this is him right here.

249

My chariot awaits.

250

There's a law in Vietnam that you have to wear a helmet so they always have an extra one.

251

Pop it on, helmet is secure.

252

Nothing to do but grab this stranger around the waist and take off to our next location.

253

Alright, we are off.

254

Now here's the thing.

255

Our next location is about a five minute drive.

256

It's very short and the price is only about 55 cents.

257

It is insanely affordable.

258

And there's no better way to see the streets of Vietnam than on the back of a motorbike in traffic like this.

259

Wild.

260

I love it.

261

Oh wow, there's some congestion here.

262

I feel kind of bad for this guy.

263

I weigh about 215 pounds.

264

I can feel him struggling to navigate a little bit, but he'll survive.

265

Right?

266

Alright.

267

Oh wow, somehow we have to get over to there.

268

Okay?

269

Okay.

270

We have reached our destination.

271

Thank you, sir.

272

Come on up.

273

Bye-bye.

274

Oh, God.

275

I almost took the helmet.

276

There you go.

277

Come on up.

278

Lunch was amazing, but I could use a little bit extra.

279

We're going to stop right now for a snack across the street.

280

Oh, my God.

281

Is that a minion motorbike?

282

It almost took my life.

283

And we're crossing now.

284

Boom.

285

Right here, we have shrimp toast.

286

Xin chào.

287

Xin chào.

288

Come.

289

Xin chào.

290

It starts with a batter.

291

Probably it's some kind of a wheat flour.

292

Inside this batter already, she has a load of shrimp,

293

she adds some water, and she mixes the shrimpies about in that thick batter.

294

From here, we have a load of bread.

295

The bread gets completely submerged within that batter.

296

She pulls it out, and then she gently applies about four- Oh my god,

297

that's a lot of shrimp!

298

She fries it on one side for a couple of minutes,

299

then she gives it a little bit of a flip,

300

and then it's finished.

301

Each one, only about 37 cents.

302

39 cents.

303

Wow, inflation happening in real time.

304

What's peculiar about this food is that the shrimp still have their tail,

305

their body, their exoskeleton, their head.

306

All of that is still on the shrimp.

307

You eat everything.

308

I'm going to buy exactly one because that is what fits our budget and try it out.

309

All right, folks, we're going to try out our little bit of a snack here.

310

It looks like the shrimp have been fossilized.

311

It looks like this was dug up by an archaeologist.

312

Let's give it a shot.

313

Oh, that's lovely.

314

I love it.

315

Very heavy, super greasy.

316

Oh man, but that batter has some seasoning on the inside.

317

It's salty, it's savory, then you get the flavor of that shrimp,

318

a little seafood-y and a little toasty too.

319

Look at this.

320

You just pull off a whole shrimp body,

321

giant head, but it's crispy.

322

I love it. Who knew?

323

So that is a fun little snack after lunch,

324

but from here we are headed to our lodge for the night.

325

I'm gonna be staying at a hotel that costs about $10.

326

What do you get for $10 in Vietnam?

327

Let's go find out.

328

I'm on my way to the hotel right now

329

and behind me I see on the corner a bunch of

330

old Vietnamese guys drinking beer listening to traditional Vietnamese music It looks amazing,

331

but alas we have no budget for such things.

332

I could drink beer and sleep on the street But let's go check out the hotel first

333

This smells like the type of hotel where you can also pay by the hour Yeah,

334

have you ever stayed in a hotel like this?

335

My camera guy is lying.

336

Fun lie.

337

Alright, let's head in.

338

Alright, we are going to the fourth floor.

339

Four floors, alright, we're basically in the penthouse.

340

Here's what this place is.

341

It's basically like a love hotel.

342

But it's also still a very affordable hotel.

343

A normal person who is not doing anything with any other person can still come here to sleep.

344

So, let's take a look.

345

Although you might be hearing some pounding from the other room next to you.

346

Hi, here it is.

347

4-0-1.

348

So we gotta pop this in to turn on the electricity.

349

This is what you get for 10 bucks in Vietnam.

350

Not bad.

351

Room with a view.

352

Whoosh.

353

Oh, even a balcony?

354

Look at that.

355

A place where you can come,

356

think about lights, smoke cigarettes,

357

and ponder the mistake you made with whoever you brought to this room.

358

I love it.

359

All right, let's see what's inside.

360

Let's talk amenities.

361

There's no gym, there's no breakfast, there's no food.

362

There might be some soda and water downstairs that you could buy.

363

Right here.

364

with the toes cut off.

365

Very cool.

366

Right here, the bathroom.

367

It's got a hot shower, got plenty of soap.

368

What else do you need?

369

Inside, we have a wardrobe here.

370

There's actually a refrigerator That's nice and it actually works the bed Not the softest bed.

371

It is just a straight foam mattress,

372

but it will do right here Entertainment a fan air conditioning a little bit of art for inspiration

373

And then you have this a little spot to sit down drink

374

What else would you do here just drink here's what I like about this place it is safe.

375

It's clean It smells good for me good enough,

376

so this is my home for the night I'm gonna stay here get settled in

377

and in a few hours We're gonna head out for the

378

final meal of the day dinner after getting this hotel room We only have a little bit of budget left,

379

so I'm gonna have to use my money wisely

380

All right folks there is one thing left to do today with our remaining money We've got about five dollars

381

and that is gonna buy us a pretty sweet dinner behind me Street food known as panseo.

382

Let's go see how they make it.

383

This is awesome.

384

We have four cast iron skillets right here.

385

This is where they're making the panseo, the sizzling pancake.

386

Right here you can see a big bucket of batter.

387

That bucket is full of rice flour batter.

388

There's a little bit of turmeric in there too to turn everything kind of yellowy.

389

And then she puts in some pork,

390

she puts in some shrimp,

391

and she puts in some bean sprouts.

392

Plus tons and tons of oil.

393

That is what makes it really crunchy.

394

After kind of sizzling and frying in there for about five minutes,

395

she turns it over and takes it out.

396

That is the main thing that we're after today.

397

But they also have a food known as bolalot.

398

The bolalot is beef wrapped in a lalot leaf.

399

Right here you can see the version before it's been cooked.

400

Then they bring it here to the grill.

401

And when it's finally done,

402

it looks like a green cigar.

403

So I'm going to order up my food.

404

And if I have some money left over,

405

I'm going to get a drink too.

406

All right, folks, dinner has been served.

407

This is truly a substantial meal for not that much money.

408

First of all, these pancakes,

409

31 cents each, and I got five.

410

They look crunchy.

411

They look delicious.

412

I cannot wait to dive into them.

413

Next, our bol al ol.

414

Here they give you six pieces for $3.15.

415

A little bit more expensive, but not bad.

416

Then there is the beer, exactly $1.00.

417

And then all this other stuff is free.

418

It's all meant to go with these two things right here.

419

We have herbs and greens.

420

Right here we have rice paper.

421

We have rice vermicelli here.

422

And then here we have some slices of star fruit, cucumber, and banana?

423

A couple sauces as well.

424

Let's get into the food.

425

First of all, these rolls, they are magnificent.

426

To go with that, they have a sauce.

427

It has some pineapple juice,

428

but it also has some Vietnamese fermented fish sauce in there too.

429

It's juicy.

430

It tastes like the meat has been marinated with fish sauce,

431

but then there's also the leaf around it.

432

It's very herbaceous and very fresh.

433

10 out of 10 delicious.

434

Next, let's get into this.

435

This could be considered one of the best tacos in the world,

436

and it's not even technically a taco.

437

Imagine putting some chorizo in there,

438

some cheese, some sour cream and guac.

439

Mmm.

440

It's so good.

441

It's insanely crunchy.

442

Inside, you can see the remnants of half a shrimp.

443

There's some fresh bean sprouts,

444

which also offer a different type of crispy texture.

445

Unbelievable.

446

That's how I eat it when my wife orders it.

447

But here's how you're supposed to eat it.

448

Start with rice paper.

449

Then you take some lettuce.

450

Then you throw on some of the panseo,

451

and then you roll it, you close it.

452

The moisture from the lettuce and from the oil should soften up that rice paper a bit.

453

This is a fish sauce blend.

454

It's gonna be sweet, and that's also gonna help soften up that rice paper.

455

Cheers!

456

I forgot herbs!

457

It's so satisfying.

458

Wash it down.

459

I would say, eating this alone,

460

it's toasty, it's crunchy, it's good,

461

but it doesn't have a ton of flavor.

462

But when you add all these different elements,

463

it makes it really feel like a meal and not just a snack.

464

It's so satisfying.

465

So right now I'm gonna add up everything I spent today

466

and find out if I did indeed survive Ho Chi Minh City on only $20.

467

In this video, I set out to spend under $20 while doing a whole day of traveling here in Ho Chi Minh City.

468

Was I successful, actually?

469

Yes.

470

Yes, I was.

471

For everything today, breakfast, lunch,

472

dinner, snack, transportation, and lodging, it costs only $19.99.

473

I want to do this video to tell folks like you who are thinking about traveling

474

that it's actually a lot more affordable than you think.

475

In countries like Vietnam, your money can go a long way,

476

especially when it comes to food.

477

I want to say a shout out to Monkey Abroad.

478

He did this concept like five years ago and then he stopped.

479

I don't know why he stopped.

480

It's a great idea.

481

And so now I will carry the torch for him without his permission.

482

Thanks.

483

So now I want to know from you,

484

if you like this concept,

485

what city should we go to next?

486

We'll probably start out in Southeast Asia,

487

but I'd be willing to take on some more difficult cities as well.

488

Don't say London.

489

Maybe New York.

490

I could share a tent with someone.

491

Otherwise, that is it for this video guys.

492

Thank you so much for watching.

493

I will see you next time.

494

Peace!

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
