    About This Episode:
    I live in Saigon, a city I've come to love in a short time. If you stick to the main tourist areas or main streets, you might be disappointed by the city. My best advice is to get lost in the alleyways. There's always something new to see.
    About Sonny Side:
    I’m not sponsored. I’m not rich. I’m just some guy who wanted to make the type of travel videos that I would want to see. This show is completely self-funded so thanks for patiently watching that five second advertisement (and read below how you can support this channel).
    I am a video director by trade. Each time I travel to a new country I bring a cameraman with me, usually a friend, to shoot as many episodes as possible in a short amount of time (usually a week). The rest of the time I’m working as a video director/videographer in Vietnam and editing the crap out of these videos.
    Much love and remember, Don't Think, Just Chew.

    This week's video is a little different from the usual fair.
    I've been living here in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) for about three months now. I love the city, the crazy energy and its people, but my best discoveries, whether it be food, meeting locals or finding something unexpected, have all occurred while getting lost in the alleyways. This is my tribute to the amazing culture and people of this city.
    We'll be back to food vids next week. :)

    Stunning! I've been to Saigon numerous times, but I've never had the chance to truly explore. These alleyways are the Vietnam I've always dreamt of, and have ignited a passion in me that I've never had before. My ticket is booked and I am counting down the days until I can truly explore all the beauty you have shown in your video. Great job!

    This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on your channel and on Vietnam period. It's poignant, powerful, and downright potent when it comes to the #feels. Is this all of your cameraman friend's work? How were you able to achieve these shots without resistance? And of course, what kind of setup are you using?

And yet, you, behind all this beauty, show us hard life and hard work (and shoemaking in the back alley).

      I totally felt the same way, in some small way Sonny has picked up Anthony Bourdain's torch and is celebrating all the things about food and culture that American tourists usually either ignore or find repellant and he's doing it with humor and respect.
