00:00When times are getting crazy
00:02And everything seems hazy
00:05Is there some place for safety I could go?
00:11Run away, run away, run away
00:13Into your escape
00:16Run away, run away, run away
00:19You're never too far to run
00:21Run away, run away, run away
00:24Into your escape
00:27Run away, run away, run away
00:30Run away, run away, run away
00:33Ah, ah, ah
00:50Okay, we've just come to a restaurant
00:53That's in a really cool spot
00:54Great people watching
00:56And you can see the street really well
00:58We just learned how to actually say fa
01:01Properly
01:02You just put an accent on it
01:04Lloyd and I always say fo
01:05Because that's just like how we read it
01:07But it's actually fa
01:08So everyone can know that at home
01:10We've each ordered two different fars
01:12And yeah, we're ready
01:14Lloyd also got an egg coffee
01:16I think that'll be really good
01:17And we've also got these like breadsticks
01:19That you get to dip into it
01:20I'm really excited
01:21Let's know
01:26Okay, so I got the well done beef
01:28And Lloyd got the traditional
01:30Which is medium rare
01:31They both look fantastic
01:33I'm ready to stick into it
01:36What about the condiments?
01:38Yeah, what do we got here?
01:41Take that soy sauce
01:45How do you test it?
01:51Maybe should I ask them how to properly do it?
01:54Yeah
01:55We've got a specialist here to show me how to dress my fa
02:01It's a fish sauce
02:04Fish sauce, okay
02:05And when you don't have
02:07A little bit of spice
02:09It's a spicy sauce
02:13Spice sauce
02:14Okay
02:15Spice salt
02:16Or sauce
02:17Yeah
02:19Chili, chili
02:20Chili sauce
02:23I like it
02:24I like it
02:24Yeah, yeah
02:26Just a little bit
02:30Okay
02:32Um
02:33Is that onion?
02:37Garlic
02:37Garlic
02:38Okay, yeah
02:39I love garlic
02:40Garlic with uh
02:41Chamon
02:42Ooh, those are the breadsticks?
02:45Yeah
02:45Yum
02:46So you dip that in?
02:48Yeah
02:49Yeah
02:52Okay
03:00Okay
03:00Try one of these bread things
03:05This looks so good
03:07Mix it up a little
03:17Yeah
03:19That's it
03:20That's it
03:20It's so good
03:29It's basically a shot of espresso
03:32With condensed milk
03:34And
03:35A raw egg
03:36Right?
03:37Yeah, I think so
03:38And it's
03:39So creamy
03:41I'm gonna just um
03:43I don't know if you're supposed to stir it or not
03:45So I'm gonna have a sip
03:45And then I'm gonna stir it
03:47Try it
03:50Mmm
03:53It's so good
04:00Oh wow
04:02It's real sweet
04:04Like I wouldn't
04:05I wouldn't drink one of these everyday
04:08It's a retreat
04:08It's pretty good
04:15After the pho that is so good
04:16Yeah
04:17Yeah
04:17Yeah
04:17Good combo
04:19Delicious
04:20These breadsticks are a game changer
04:22Yeah?
04:22Yeah
04:23Thanks Peter
04:24There you go
04:34Okay
04:34Okay
04:35Got to go now
04:37Alright, we're gonna go play some pool with our friends here
04:40Woo
04:41Woo
04:42Whoo
05:12I'll see you next time.
06:04Okay, so just like pretty much everywhere in Southeast Asia, the Vietnamese take their
06:08food.
06:09Very seriously, which I like.
06:11I'm starting to get into it, are you?
06:13Yes.
06:14I love it.
06:15This is so fun too.
06:16I feel like it's the best way to get to know a group of people as well and break the
06:20ice.
06:20I love it.
06:20It's your turn.
06:35Vietnam is where our love of beer and ice came from.
06:40Now Lloyd and I can't not do it everywhere.
06:43Do you want a cup or tea?
06:47Is that the rule?
06:49Apparently you have to drink half of your beer when you do the cheese.
06:53That's not the rule.
06:57Okay!
06:59Yo!
07:07Okay!
07:08I'll have what I want.
07:09I'll have.
07:10I'll have.
07:11I'll have.
07:41Alright, we're heading back to Ocean Park 3 at the moment, where we were last night.
07:51Xin chào!
07:52Xin chào!
07:57After playing pool with our friends, that was actually really fun.
08:02We're gonna go hop on one of those awesome little Venice-type boats and check out Koreatown.
08:11Yeah, so where we were last night, there's basically half of it is designed to look like Venice, Italy
08:20and then over the other side of the bridge is supposed to be Koreatown, which we didn't go to last
08:25night
08:25because I was so tired. We just traveled for like 12 hours. So we're gonna go check that out.
08:48Okay, so this is where we were last night but it looks very different during the day and it's actually
08:53quite busy.
08:54It's called Grand World Hanoi but it's actually referred to as New Hanoi, so if you come to Hanoi you'll
09:03go to the Old Quarter,
09:04which is like the most popular tourist place in Hanoi.
09:09But I feel like this is probably gonna end up being a more popular tourist destination because everything's just so
09:18cool here.
09:19Yeah, like it looks like, it looks like we're in Venice, Italy and then over the bridge which we'll go
09:25to in a minute is Koreatown,
09:27so we'll check that out. But we might get on one of these water taxis, we'll see how that goes.
09:32I don't know how much it costs or if they're even going. Let's check it out.
09:54Go on to the boat ride? We'll do that, eh? Yeah.
10:00Carousel? No.
10:03Carousel? Yeah, kind of. A noble costume.
10:08I wonder what that is.
10:13Drunk in my devotion
10:16Laid out on your chest
10:20Stood and I've abandoned
10:24With you I am blessed
10:28All at once in a dream
10:31We are together
10:36You could call it a vision
10:39Or tether
10:43All at once I can see it
10:47Put back together
11:09What do you think?
11:10Pretty cool. Very relaxing. It's still weird that we're in Vietnam right now.
11:15Oh yeah
11:16Yeah
11:19Oh yeah
11:32How about it, russie
11:34One at once i can see it
11:34All at once in a dream
11:35Oh yeah
11:37Oh yeah
11:37Oh yeah
11:43Oh yeah
12:06This is honestly the weirdest feeling, every direction you look looks exactly the same.
12:29It's pretty scary on your own, isn't it?
12:33I know.
12:34That's scary on your own.
12:38Imagine doing this in the classroom.
12:51How do we get out of here?
12:56Isn't that the way we came?
13:01This is where we came from.
13:04I'm starting to freak out, actually, honestly.
13:07Yeah.
13:07I don't know.
13:08Is there like an emergency stop button?
13:10That's where we came in.
13:14That's a mirror.
13:20Did we make it?
13:24Oh, we're in more mirrors.
13:25I thought that was it.
13:39Come on, honey.
13:41Well, I made it through that.
13:42I had a little bit of a panic attack there.
13:44Did you?
13:48Is that it?
13:50Yeah.
13:50Or did you make it?
13:51Come on.
13:52Alright, well, Little Venice is pretty fun, honestly.
13:55We're going to head over to K-Town or Koreatown now and see what's going on there.
14:00I can't imagine it's as busy, but maybe.
14:02We'll see.
14:17It's a lot more tame over in Koreatown.
14:22Really beautiful buildings.
14:24Really traditional looking.
14:25But yeah, not as much going on over here as over in Venice.
14:32We've had the most action packed day today.
14:35Probably going to call it a day soon.
14:41Okay, so by the looks of it, Koreatown is still under construction, but it looks like
14:45it's going to be really cool, actually.
14:48And it feels like we're actually in Korea.
14:53And if it's anything like Little Venice over there, it's going to be amazing.
15:22All right.
15:22All right, here we go.
15:25Let's go.
15:27Let's go.
15:27Let's go.
15:27Let's go.
15:29Let's go.
