Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome to Saigon. Welcome to Vietnam. Vanessa and I are officially in our 62nd country and we're on a tour of Ho Chi Min City or Saigon.

We've stopped at a restaurant here in Saigon and u it's about uh 300Β° outside and it's about 290 in here. And we've uh we've ordered a boni sandwich and some fried rice, couple bottles of water.

It is um beef, uh fresh cucumber, uh carrots, and lettuce, and a little bit of onion in it. And it's on a French baguette, which is from the French influence when Vietnam was occupied by the French.

We've concluded our day in Saigon. We've made it back to the ship. It was a long day, but we got to see a whole lot.
