The Vietnam they don't want you to see
hello everyone from very far out in guava district i'm here with my friend oh no um and we're getting ready to go on an adventure we're gonna go to the far off mountainous provinces of zalai but before that we need to go buy some stuff so we're gonna go to a market a local market here and do some shopping let's see what the local market here looks like are you ready who is uh you ready yes oh yeah let's go okay good night [Laughter] okay next one next one part two next mission mission one complete already broken first uh five minutes can this guy fix his bike oh my god look at this this is disgusting my god he really needs to get his bike fixed that's so your disgusting dose of uh perfumes delicious okay finally i get to tell you these guys christ i gotta tell you guys where we're going um so like i mentioned before into the deep mountain mountainous provinces of vietnam we're going to a province called zalai which is um in like central west vietnam so it's it's uh on the border with laos if i'm not mistaken uh maybe cambodia too but uh it uh has a very large minority group of people called zarai which is i think where the name comes from there's this really beautiful water excuse me waterfall there so we're gonna take a night bus there um and then we'll hike into the waterfall i haven't taken a night bus in vietnam forever because night buses here are really scary they drive like fast um traffic in general here as you can see behind me is not uh super fun with all the motorbikes and people just like not staying in their lanes and in general not obeying the law people just like you know doing illegal turns and stuff like this going across the road as you can see behind me so uh even though i'm not the one driving that almost makes me more scared which is why i haven't ridden a bus like this in a long time but we'll see how it is i don't know this is the night bus to zalai we'll see how it is let's head over to the bus station and get the tickets all right we got our driver this is going to be a little bit close i was supposed to get her by five o'clock it's already 4 45 and i don't really know it's like on that well but i think it's gonna take longer than 15 minutes to get there indiana it's only like five o'clock now let's find holy crap okay we made it holy crap that grab driver was definitely tired we're gonna we're gonna make sure to give him uh a little tip for such good driving my guts gosh i could tell he was super super tired but we're here [Music] um oh we're on the night bus guys [Music] from okay this isn't going to be too comfortable but uh i don't want to put my camera down below i think it'll break that's right you gotta go for the experience on the night busters ally yeah let's get a little tour of the seat so this bus has two levels you got one seat on the bottom you got a seat on top what what seat do you prefer the top or bottom the bottom why because think the bottom maybe it will be a little bit uh stable more stable yeah that's true no that is true according to physics that's true yeah yeah it'll be so we won't move as much yeah yeah because the top you'll rotate more oh we just made it in time holy crap just made it i think it leaves at 5 30. well 5 30 maybe waiting for someone waiting for more people so i'm not the last person yeah we are not the first person so they will like say uh yeah they won't be mad at us we're not the last people you don't have to be the fastest you can even be late but don't be the last person that's the that's that's the golden rule they're coming by now with water and with jesus and with um wet wipes clean yourself off it's almost like a plane getting nice water you get wet wipes nice one thing that's really cool about the vietnamese buses it reminds me of like the night bus in harry potter is all these lights you get all these lights you can see here red blue yellow green it's like one movie have you seen harry potter so the brand of this water bottle is also via sun fat we're gonna give this a taste test see how does the water taste from vietnam compared to laffy compared to aquafina okay give this a taste test tastes like water not too bad on a scale of

your legs to the side before you have option number two you have to stretch your legs out [Music] i don't have the luxury of putting my legs forward he can put his legs forward i need to [Music] luckily this isn't very packed if this bus was really packed it would not be fun but there's not too many people on this bus so no problem [Music] wow guys we're taking these special bikes these are like custom-made bikes so we have to go through the forest and it's like 25 kilometers um we're going like the back way for for some special reasons that i'm not gonna say on camera um but it'll take

this oh i need that the one is that wow he brought a fishing rod actually it's just a stick with a line on it he's gonna fish now a lot of fish a lot of fish here yeah because it's right below the waterfall so i'm sure biology guys wow there's a spider web on here wow wow didn't know that it was alive so what he's doing here is he's using this uh this thing is called komlam which is basically like sticky rice and they make it in bamboo shoots they stuff them bamboo and they'll like they'll uh cook it over fire and he's using this as bait nothing special but i guess they like the rice [Music] now we're gonna go there's apparently some nice pools around here where you can swim so we're gonna look look at this just to the right of the area we were fishing before is this super nice area check this out the waterfall is over there but it's blocked in this really nice area without any big um uh like currents wow look at this guys this is like a little private okay a swimming pool you get your you get the rocks and the pathway blocking blocking you from going down you get this beautiful view over here look at this but then you have this oh this is so cool you have this beautiful waterfall and you have this nice little pool and there's parts of shade there's parts with sunshine you can get like a little oh this is so cool you wow look at the water beautiful wow amazing let's hop in for some swimming we only got about 40 minutes because yeah we need to hurry so we can go back get some drone shots white anymore i need to swim yeah yeah we smell so bad one night a one day in saigon when it was sunny it was so sunny we sweat then uh it rained then we got on a night bus then we got on another bus then we rode bikes here and now we've been sitting here in the heat for hours so we definitely need a need a bath my god yeah it smells so bad you're gonna wear your shirt everything huh let me see you jump in ah okay go okay okay let's do it one two three

little bit but my god look at this isn't that just beautiful gosh i've never i mean i've seen places like this before but i've never like i've never uh been in a place where you know you can swim and it's just so nice in the middle of the forest there's no one here we're literally the only ones here it just feels like i feel like i'm in the movie avatar or something you know where i'm just like on another planet that's what it feels like amazing part of me just feels sad because i know like i won't be able to come back here that much if at all again this might be one of my only times i come i know there's got to be other places in the world like this but pardon me wishes i could come to places like this more often but i guess that's the reason why there's no people here and it feels like it's from another planet because it's not easy to get to it was easy to get to that's like every other place i've gone you know easy to hike to easy to get to tons of people it doesn't it's just different you have to come to places that are really off the beaten track to really get this experience otherwise it just feels different what do you think 10 out of 10. amazing 10 out of 10 how many
