I think we have arrived I'm starting to

see Market type situations I told Chase

I want some funky funky but not too

funky sunglasses

but these are too big lots of options

here there's so many options I think

these are a bit too funky by the time I

buy these I can't even ask you guys

opinion but let me know anyways do you

guys like this style of sunglass on me

she's got all the good she's patting me

off

okay okay I think these are a bit too

funky yeah

it's okay thank you

no thank you also sunglasses that like

broken

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

everybody

we'll take one that's very good

thank you

oh yeah oh yeah so thirsty that's really

good let's try it

oh that's very refreshing you know what

good job they uh did not add sugar

that's amazing I don't know why

no drink and then also

it's so cool that you can literally just

like buy all your goods and stuff and

then have like little Vietnamese snacks

yeah yeah like your drinks too it's

amazing let's continue on oh are those

pork rinds Chase

that's a good bag of pork rinds we're

friends are the best oh she's mixing the

shrimp paste oh my God

[Music]

help me it smells like shrimp in here so

Shelby's over here looking at more

sunglasses and she's like I don't even

know where we came in and I'm like can't

you hear the honking it's straight that

way I'm busy you can you can find the

way out of the market by all the honking

on the street so you guys you know when

you're in the market and you play the

whole strategy of you know you barter

your prices

I can't even tell a story without

looking at that you know you okay so you

borrow your price for sunglasses but

then you're still not happy with the

price so you do like the fake walk away

and you hope that they come running

after you

well I really wanted these sunglasses

and she didn't come walking after me and

so now I'm gonna do the walk of shame

and I'm gonna go back to her and I'm

gonna buy them for the price that we

agreed on and so

that's what you got to do you do the

fake walkway if you don't know that you

must know and now you know because a lot

of the times the price is jacked up like

this is going to be double now that she

did this

I couldn't resist okay thank you so much

okay guys

these are the the sunglasses that I

wanted to be kind of funky but not too

funky because I don't think I can rock

overly funky glasses this is what we

went with what we think

they don't get ripped in your hair

because that's what I needed yeah ones

that weren't gonna rip my hair yeah

before I buy anything else all right

time to Mosey on from that Market Shelby

got some glasses I'm gonna give them

props here I love this Market Chase is

like oh look there's the slime and I'm

like oh I never seen

it was because it was short

it's true

so I'm pretty excited to see this

Imperial City it supposedly has two

kilometer by two kilometer ramparts all

around it and it has a moat that is fed

by the perfume river to see that in

person it's just gonna be pretty

breathtaking when we finally get there

okay guys that is not what you do you

gotta keep going so

that was intense but then he kind of

stopped so then I was like oh my God am

I getting in his way and then I like

stopped and then I feel like I just

messed up the whole flow more often than

not here in Vietnam you can usually just

go and they'll go around you but if you

hesitate it causes a little bit of a

hiccup normally they'll let you know if

they're gonna go they'll honk they'll do

something but if they're quiet they're

usually gonna Dodge you there's a little

system it's hard to get used to though

as a Westerner so just go hope that you

don't get hit good good advice shelves

tick tockers haven't spotted

you will uh find us on Instagram those

are the two things we do YouTube and

Instagram if you want to see the more

sneak peek action it's over on the

Instagram and if you guys are enjoying

our content Please Subscribe a lot of

whoa it looks so cool

[Music]

what would you look at this now that is

a huge moat and these walls are huge I

heard the word is ramparts but I hope

I'm saying it properly

you heard it here guys huge Mo huge

balls it's huge

I think we're on the southern end of

this too and we're about to go through

here and there's going to be nine

cannons wow

it's gonna be pretty sweet

that's absolutely crazy the little

amount of room that you have there's

pedestrians on both sides and the cars

sandwiching in between you as you're

going through there

and here we go those cannons I was

talking about just like I knew they were

going to be here

[Applause]

[Music]

that's pretty cool

so let's just follow the herd I guess

that over there is one of the gates to

get in so I think this is the outskirts

you don't have to pay to go to the

outskirts so there is tons of stuff that

you can do around Hawaii we chose

um to pay to do the Imperial City

because it's like it's like the big

shebang when you come to Hawaii

um but there's lots of like free stuff

that you can go to I did a lot of

research last night so so far tons of

tons of History here that I can tell but

I think this was this was a good choice

because it already looks so cool we paid

200

000 dong per person I think this is our

most expensive hobby we've done so far

in Vietnam better be worth it it's gonna

be worth it it's gonna be worth it

[Music]

and just like that we have went through

the Meridian gate onto the other side to

the innards of the Imperial City

hey now get your mind out of the gutter

[Music]

oh hello fishies it looks like they're

trying to contain the lotus in one

little area here they have a net but

some of them are sneaking through their

wild plants they do what they want this

is a bad time to break a flip-flop but I

don't think it completely broke it'll

make it through the day maybe please oh

my gosh

and this is hilarious because mine

stitched together with sewing twine

so I'll bring you on over here and uh

the palace is closed for construction so

they have this beautiful thing put up to

show you what it would look like if it

was there at the moment

ah this is absolutely breathtaking we're

about to walk through this Stone archway

oh

[Music]

this is an original piece back from when

the Citadel was first built

you always need a fresh Pepsi so this

Citadel that we're taking you through is

the last defense structure if people are

coming to take over the town everyone

can run into this Citadel they can set

up the Cannons they can set everything

up and this is base camp if the whole

place is going down

holy look at this Pagoda rate in front

of me

that's Majestic

[Music]

it's really peaceful and relaxing here

there's so many pretty

pretty honestly incredible we keep

saying that is because they are like all

the stone work and Designs it's just

it's when you when you look around

you're like there's so much to look at

and you're just like this is so pretty

this is really pretty show them this

Pagoda come on

[Music]

Bush Turtles

Bush Turtles we're gonna go look at the

bush Turtle am I totally enough for the

turtle club am I not curly enough for

the turtle club I need a sweater or

something to do that don't you

[Music]

all right

there is so much space in between all

the things to see you go from like all

these different Courtyards with a bunch

of grass walls like look at this wall

just put your walking shoes on

but what was this wall used for in the

olden days I don't think they're really

upkeeping this one anymore it looks very

very original I think for somewhere like

this it'd be useful to take a guide if

you want to learn exactly you know

everything that went on here sometimes

Chase and I just like to take the time

and just explore by ourselves and

sometimes we get a guide it just depends

how we feel today we just decided to do

it on our own

um but I can definitely tell there's

there's a lot to be said about this

place this is reality right now

this is reality I didn't spill myself

there's a sweat

I'm gonna put my backpack back up

just when you think there's like no

there can't be any more there's more

[Music]

you shall not pass

[Music]

I would definitely recommend coming here

to explore if you guys are in Hawaii it

is so awesome and you could literally

explore here for hours like if you need

something to do and you want to learn

about history definitely

[Music]

come here look they got a ladder so you

can take a dip

it's part of the package they say algae

is good for you right

so we could continue to show you all the

Imperial City but we literally can't

because it's that big so I think we're

gonna end the video there we hope you
