This episode was such a joy to record because it felt like rediscovering Saigon all over again. Walking through the markets, tasting the local food, and getting lost in the buzz of Saigon with Kim, Adrie, and Lewis made me realize just how much this city has to offer.

There’s a vibrant energy here, a mix of tradition and modernity that’s unique to Saigon. I love how you can go from a centuries-old market like Ben Thanh to a hidden Gen Z hotspot above the girly bars, or step from a crowded, chaotic street corner into a peaceful spot along the river.

This city has quirks and charms that you wouldn’t expect until you see them yourself.

Saigon’s layers go deep—whether it’s the story behind the Opera House or the thrill of a $1 noodle soup at a street stall. Even after all these years, I’m constantly discovering new places, foods, and people.

My hope is that this episode gives listeners a taste of that excitement and inspires them to step off the beaten path when they visit. Because the best parts of Saigon aren’t always on the map—they’re in the little moments, the street life, the contrasts that make this city such a one-of-a-kind experience.
