A Realistic Weekend at 33, No Friends, Living Alone in Vietnam 🇻🇳

A record of what a weekend looks like for a man in his 30s living alone in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. No friends, no plans — just me, this city, and a whole day to explore. My total cost for the day is only a few dollars: a bowl of pho, a local coffee, a fresh coconut, and street food along the way. This video breaks down the real cost of living in Vietnam and shows how I stretch every dong. 🇻🇳 But this isn't only about money. Behind every dong I save is a dream: to one day bring my parents up from the countryside to finally see this city with me. Walk with me from a quiet morning park, through a busy alley market and a traditional market, to a peaceful riverside — and see the everyday Vietnam that most people never do. ☕ In this video: 0:00 A weekend alone in Saigon 0:13 Morning in the park 2:00 Inside a hidden alley market 4:10 Roadside pho — breakfast like a local 5:32 Vietnamese coffee culture 6:58 A big traditional market 9:39 Riverside afternoon 11:19 Fresh coconut on the street 12:34 The modern side: a GS25 store 15:30 Alone, but never without purpose If you enjoyed spending the weekend with me, subscribe for more real, everyday life in Vietnam ❤️ #Vietnam #Saigon #HoChiMinhCity #CostOfLiving #StreetFood
