1
Hi everyone, it's Vân Vũ from Vietnam.
2
Welcome back to my channel.
3
It's been a long time since I've seen Anh Long.
4
Hello, hello everyone.
5
So you've already seen him in some of my videos such as Phủ Chi videos or Mekong videos.
6
By the way, if you want to learn more about Vietnamese culture,
7
don't forget to visit my website at whattheforvn.com.
8
So what are we gonna do today, Anh Long?
9
Well, this morning we're gonna take you around,
10
introduce you to things to do as the first time traveler because I know that many viewers,
11
many fans of yours, right, haven't been to Vietnam.
12
So I think it's gonna be a very interesting video.
13
It's got me so much fun.
14
But first, let's get breakfast.
15
Yes, let's go.
16
Okay, let's go.
17
Hey, but this way, let's go.
18
If you want to see the real hustle and bustle of the city,
19
you should join the locals to buy breakfast in the morning.
20
Before going to work, Saigonese usually order sandwiches and coffee while still sitting on their motorbikes.
21
That's why today Long and I will go to Bánh Mì chim chạy,
22
literally translates to the running bird sandwich shop.
23
The unique name came from the idea of using meat from ostriches,
24
the birds that cannot fly.
25
Over the years, they substitute ostrich meat with chicken and grilled pork
26
because ostrich meat was so dry and chewy for Vietnamese people.
27
It's one of my go-to Bánh Mì spots in Ho Chi Minh City.
28
Long and I will go to the cafe apartment on 42 Nguyễn Huệ walking street
29
and I'm gonna show you how unique it is.
30
And now we are at the cafe apartment already.
31
42 Nguyễn Huệ.
32
And this building actually becomes super famous after a cover on National Geography.
33
Yes, at night it's so beautiful
34
because I took a picture here with the apartment the first time
35
when I came to Saigon and it was so so beautiful at night guys.
36
Did you know this building initially served as a barrack and office for the army during the Vietnam War?
37
After the war, some of the apartments were allocated to shipyard workers.
38
However, it wasn't until the 2010s that the owners of these buildings began embracing the concept of cafe apartments,
39
which subsequently blossomed into a culture phenomenon in Ho Chi Minh City.
40
The 9-story apartment block at 42 Nguyễn Huế stands as a testament to its history,
41
housing a vibrant mix of cafes, boutiques and creative businesses.
42
Okay.
43
We can eat bánh mi,
44
drink coffee, and see, enjoy the flowers and the views.
45
Wow.
46
And meet like so.
47
What a life.
48
Yes, right?
49
Yeah.
50
What a life.
51
Oh my gosh, I see there are a lot of options for Ơi here.
52
So they have cafe sữa đá Anh ơi is the traditional condensed milk
53
and then cafe sữa đá Em ơi is like more milk
54
and then more condensed milk so it's like kind of like bạc siu
55
and then cafe sữa đá Trời ơi like oh my gosh cafe it's like they have durian in the coffee
56
which I ordered here Oh my gosh she sounds like an expert right?
57
Like she asked me to come along as a tour guide but she didn't miss my recommendation
58
Anyway she ordered the right thing Congratulations.
59
Thank you.
60
How are the coffee though?
61
Very good.
62
I got em ơi.
63
Yeah, so I got the right choice.
64
I need to try this one.
65
Good right?
66
It's actually good.
67
It's like...
68
Durian and coffee.
69
Can you believe it?
70
It's such a combination.
71
Wow, yeah.
72
Like, I can smell the durian in here,
73
but it's not too overwhelming.
74
It's actually a very good combination.
75
Saigon is just a girl in love.
76
Right?
77
Yeah.
78
Watch out, watch love.
79
And then Hanoi is like an old lady,
80
you know, like, she's trying to keep the rain and keep the rain.
81
On the way to Nguyễn Huệ walking street,
82
you can pass Dong Khoi area,
83
which is considered the richest area of the city.
84
You can see Hotel Continental Saigon where writer Graham Greene wrote his famous movie The Quiet American.
85
You can also see the Saigon Opera House where people take wedding photos.
86
And I also highly recommend you see the A O Show,
87
which is a cultural entertainment performance from talented Vietnamese artists.
88
I would like to show you another little construction that has very interesting information.
89
Yeah, that's the fountain, right?
90
You can see the roundabout right there, right?
91
Lotus roundabout.
92
That is the first traffic roundabout in Ho Chi Minh City.
93
Wow.
94
Back to the colonial of time.
95
Initially when it was untreated,
96
it wasn't functioned as the traffic route about.
97
But right there the French have musicians,
98
artists, they come to that area to perform.
99
But I think when the French come back to Vietnam,
100
they're gonna be so surprised.
101
Because right now they do rapping and then they sing karaoke here.
102
Yes, adapt to the Vietnamese culture, right?
103
Definitely.
104
So in Rome, do as the Romans do.
105
Now we are walking on Nguyen Huệ Boulevard.
106
This is the main pedestrian street in Saigon.
107
Now it's quite empty, right?
108
Not very crowded in the morning,
109
but during the night time,
110
people, especially youngsters, family members,
111
even couples, they come here to hang out and have fun.
112
And by the way, over there you can see that is one of the most iconic landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City,
113
which is Ho Chi Minh City Hall, right?
114
But now it's function as the office building for Ho Chi Minh City People Committee.
115
Right there you can see the Rex Hotel at the corner.
116
Yes.
117
It's a very famous hotel, especially among American tourists.
118
I was really curious and surprised why a lot of Americans know about that place.
119
I asked them and they said,
120
like, back in the day during the Vietnam War,
121
Rex Hotel together with another hotel,
122
which is Caravell Hotel, at the two first hotels that hosted the very first American soldiers who came to Vietnam
123
you know for the Vietnam War.
124
Yeah so this one together with the Caravelle were the first two hotels that hosted them.
125
Interesting.
126
Yeah we're gonna do a couple of crossing again.
127
Okay I love crossing the road you know.
128
That's a good experience right.
129
We appreciate life more.
130
I appreciate it.
131
But now I want the pink one.
132
I want the red one.
133
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Independence Palace.
134
The Independence Palace has been the symbolic end game that brought the Vietnam War to an end on April 30th,
135
1975, when the North Vietnamese Army Tang crashed through its gates.
136
The palace was the home and workplace of the President of the Republic of Vietnam,
137
and it was constructed in the early 1960s and designed by a Vietnamese architect, Ngô Viet Thu.
138
The palace architecture is a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese,
139
Chinese, and modernist styles.
140
From the above of the Independence Palace mimics the form of the Chinese character,
141
Ji, which represents good luck,
142
and the symbol ko, mouth,
143
symbolizing high standards of education and freedom of speech.
144
Entering the Independence Palace, you can see the meeting rooms,
145
banquet rooms, entertainment rooms and the bunker where the president and his staff could take shelter during attacks.
146
Don't forget to go to the balcony on the second floor
147
because you can enjoy the stunning view of Ho Chi Minh City.
148
The Independence Palace is not only an important historical site,
149
but also a significant symbol of Vietnam's struggle for independence and reunification.
150
It stands as a reminder of the country's tumultuous past and serves as a testament to its resilience and determination.
151
the brick right that's the original color of the brick from the very beginning and on the brick right
152
for the wall it was imported from maxi province from france yeah
153
i feel like nowadays we live in such a fast-paced life
154
and it's so convenient for people to call or send each other emails
155
but i feel like it's more special
156
if we send letters to our loved ones
157
and i would like to send a letter to my future husband
158
so um do you know where i can send it let
159
me tell you we have to come to the right place where a building just right behind us
160
saigon central postal field if you know a lot about feng shui which is all about harmony and balance
161
you will notice a dragon and a tiger at the gate.
162
They resemble strong spirits who protect the building.
163
The architecture is a perfect combination of Gothic,
164
Renaissance, and French colonial influences where you can see a massive clock
165
that has been running for more than 130 years and Hermes,
166
the god of all communication.
167
There are also numerous well-known scientists
168
and inventors of the telegraph industry such as benjamin franklin alessandro volta
169
and michael faraday are engraved on the wall entering the post
170
office you will see a hanging huge portrait of president ho
171
chi minh who was the leader of the vietnamese revolution in
172
the 20th century on both sides of the post office walls
173
there are two large meticulously drawn maps one depicts saigon and its neighborhoods
174
in 1892 while the other illustrates the network of telegraph lines across vietnam
175
and cambodia in 1936 the seating area was designed like a
176
train station where you can see the time from other countries
177
and telephone booths did you notice there's no number 13 wow i see there are a lot of souvenirs here
178
and even host cards and then magnets here as well
179
but you know what we know Another option that you can buy more souvenirs with more affordable price.
180
Okay, let's go to...
181
Biên Thái Market.
182
Yes.
183
Alright, let's go.
184
Oh my gosh, my nose.
185
My nose, my nose.
186
You smell something?
187
Oh my gosh, I smell durian.
188
Yeah.
189
I smell dry shrimp.
190
I smell everything here.
191
Oh my goodness.
192
Alright, so now we're entering the market,
193
Bến Thành Market, and you see the name outside, right?
194
So this is the most popular market in Ho Chi Minh City, especially for tourists.
195
So when you come to Saigon,
196
you should definitely check out Bến Thành Market, because it's a highlight.
197
Yeah, it's so lively here.
198
And not to mention when you go to Binh Thang Market,
199
don't forget to check out coffee.
200
Right, there's so many types of coffee over here.
201
And over here they have a lot of candy and then dried fruit and nuts that you can buy.
202
I know that like lotus is super good for your sleep.
203
So maybe you can buy some and make chè,
204
which is a Vietnamese dessert.
205
Super yummy.
206
Oh my gosh, look at this!
207
Cinnamon!
208
And then like if you want to make pho,
209
this is a good spot for you to have all the ingredients to make your bed more pho.
210
That's right.
211
I think my mom would love this.
212
Igerbom.
213
So for Asians, this is a secret medical oil.
214
Because my mom, my grandpa,
215
my dad, they use this for everything.
216
Like headaches, stomach aches, nausea, whatever.
217
Even when you get mosquito bites,
218
you can also apply on your skin.
219
I know, right?
220
You can treat everything.
221
Multi-functional.
222
Oh my gosh, Anh Long,
223
I love this little cone hat.
224
Oh yeah.
225
These are so cute.
226
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
227
What's this?
228
Conical hat, right?
229
This is another stuff that you can take home as a souvenir.
230
So cute.
231
All right, so we are entering the wet section,
232
the wet market of Ben Thang.
233
So right here, there's like butcher,
234
you know, like meat and the fish section over there.
235
Yeah.
236
So for local ladies, they come here every morning to buy fresh ingredients for daily meals.
237
And then in Vietnam, they only sell it for half of the day so that the food can stay fresh, right?
238
That's right.
239
So my mom, for example,
240
she loves to go to the market in the super early morning because she can get fresh food.
241
That's what my mom did too.
242
But then you need to know how to negotiate.
243
That's the thing that I want to say.
244
While we're outside of the Bên Thành market,
245
what's a tip to bargain?
246
Well, you know, as I explained earlier,
247
anyway, it still functions as a tourist market.
248
So when you come here to buy things,
249
make sure that you do a very good negotiation.
250
Sometimes it can be like 40-50%,
251
you have to cut it half-right.
252
Yeah.
253
Yep.
254
40-50%.
255
Keep that in there.
256
Right.
257
Especially souvenir stuff for example they say like a hundred dollars you have to make it like 50 or even 40.
258
and also
259
if you go with the professional local tour guide like Ang Lam you don't need to worry about negotiation
260
because they know the price.
261
One more tip you should ask the local beforehand to know like how much it is
262
so you can negotiate with better price right.
263
Wow this is so cool.
264
I have never seen like as many outside as in here.
265
And by the way, this is a fixed price section.
266
So for those who don't like negotiating or they have no skill of negotiating,
267
then this should be the place for them, right?
268
You come here, every price is also fixed already.
269
Yeah, the price is very good.
270
Yeah, I feel like people can buy outside for their wedding here.
271
And then after that, when they have honeymoon,
272
they can go to that section to buy some graphic t-shirt to go to the beach.
273
When they have a baby,
274
they can buy some clothes for babies.
275
How convenient it is, yeah.
276
Many people are so strategic.
277
So if you want to learn some strategic skills or negotiation skills,
278
I suggest you to come to Vietnam ASAP.
279
Yeah.
280
There is one construction I would like to show you,
281
which is really interesting, not many people know.
282
What is that?
283
The building just right behind us,
284
by the way, that way,
285
you can see a very old building with yellow color right there, right?
286
That is where one of the last helicopters of Americans left Saigon.
287
Is that like a.. they have an iconic picture for it, right?
288
That's one.
289
That's one.
290
So the picture was taken in the afternoon of the 29th of April,
291
one day before the Vietnam War ended.
292
For the whole building, right,
293
it was converted into the office for a company,
294
but the rooftops still remain the same.
295
Yeah, so sometimes if tourists are lucky enough,
296
you are allowed to go inside to go up there because there's a cafe up there.
297
Really?
298
But sometimes we are not allowed to go inside.
299
I don't know.
300
It's so weird.
301
Oh my gosh.
302
It was a long day.
303
I was so exhausted, but I had so much fun with Anh Long today.
304
Barely, we had a great time today.
305
And we know that this video is very short, right?
306
And if it's short, of course,
307
it cannot show you everything about Saigon because the CDE staff has a lot to offer.
308
So stay tuned for more videos to come.
309
Yes, and please comment down below if you want to see more of Anh Long in my channel.
310
Okay, and also if you want to learn more about Vietnamese culture,
311
don't forget to visit my website at whatthephovien.com and subscribe to my channel.
312
Thank you so much, Anh Long,
313
again for helping me today.
314
Thank you so much for sharing the opportunity.
315
Thank you!
316
Thank you!
317
I'll see you guys in the next one.
318
Bye!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
