Hello and welcome to our channel,
We are Reanne and Ben living in Portsmouth, England. We have been together from the age of 15.
We brought our first house together at 23, got married at 25 and Reanne started her own business at 27.
We have been wanting to travel the world for the last couple of year but covid put a stop to it.
The day has finally come we have sold our business and packed everything we own into storage, rented our house to explore as much of the world as we can in one year.
We created this RU-vid channel to share our adventure with everyone who wants to explore but don’t know how. Let us know what you think of our channel so leave a comment we’d love to hear from you x
Join us on our adventures.

Bến Thành is known for being very expensive and they'll raise the prices if you don't speak Vietnamese. If you want to buy something for a decent price it's better to go to a smaller market outside of district one. Overall, downtown Sài Gòn is crazy expensive compared to the rest of the city because it's a tourist area. You can find much cheaper food and coffee in other districts

@OTWD_yt Год назад

Will do my friend there some of the highest market prices I’ve ever had 😂

i just left ho chi minh a week ago (now i am in thailand). its one of my favourite citys ever. the traffic is crazy. dont forget to visit bui vien walking street to see the saigon nightlife. vietnamese way to party is different but i just love it. monkey island is also worth a visit, and the chu chi tunnels, to see some of the war history of the city.

Hope you find that hat for the right price soon!! I hear Saigon is cheaper than Hanoi overall? School starts for me in September, so I am forced to travel in August later this year to Vietnam. I would rather deal with some rain than the high tourist crowds and prices anyways. Thanks for taking us along on your journey, it was a fun vlog to watch. Nice work guys!!

If you ever visit Vietnam again , try the " banh cuon " if you haven't yet. They are steamed rolls stuffed with chopped meat and minced mushrooms. Dipped in sauce they are mellow and savory , I like them much, may be you will. Always ask for recommendations and other advices from reliable people to avoid ripoffs.

Will definitely 👍 ❤️😊

@@OTWD_yt Forgot to mention the " bun rieu " ( grinded crab noodle soup with tomato chunks and fried tofus , it's worth a try ). About places of interest , I would suggest Dalat, a city on highlands : chilly climate , pine woods , lake and waterfalls around . Vietnamese coffee trees are grown on these highlands.

@OTWD_yt Год назад

I don’t get it. I mean I can’t see them ever making a deal with anyone. Surly they would be better of doubling the price and having a little haggle they would make more money at the end of the week instead the x20 and wait for someone dumb enough to buy it had the same in Cambodia. Thailand, Sri Lanka,Indonesia, india and Malaysia they have a good haggle with you and there realistic on what price they can sell it for. Strange

@Disillusioned2022 Год назад

It's not great to come to Ho Chi Minh City and be so angry as a foreigner - typically the vietnamese will make around $100 to $150 USD per week for an office job - so, if spending $20 on a hat is too annoying for you, OR, if you're unwilling to negotiate a lower price - then there's not much left to say. Also, if you're just going to hang around Ben Thanh / District 1 - then, of course the locals will ask for a higher price because lets face it - you're a foreigner in their country. I love Vietnam and won't ever leave here. As per your profile - you bought a home at 23, got married at 25, and started a business at 27 - try to enjoy it :) I only stumbled onto your channel as, whilst i live here, I'm still curious to see what other foreigners think about the greatest country on earth and your video came up as a recent upload.

@OTWD_yt Год назад

Please explain to me how making around $100 a week selling $1 hats for $20 maybe because no body is paying that maybe 1 a week but I’m refuse to be that mug. Utterly ridiculous price picked the same hat up in Malaysia 1 week later for $1.50 they where selling lots. That market was empty. Lesson will be learned the longer it goes on

Bartering is part of the culture even among locals in Vietnam if you don’t want to barter don’t go to a outdoor market. They have beautiful shopping malls where you probably could have paid $80 for a hat. Curious if you found the market where locals go or just the tourist trap market?
