  • Good afternoon everybody, it's Cory here.

  • I am in the Cau Giay district of Hanoi city, here in Vietnam.

  • So this street is called Duy Tan, it's not a very long street.

  • But it's lined by a lot of corporate kind of buildings and it's nice to see this area

  • being developed slowly. You can see a lot of buildings in and around the neighborhood

  • and they're under construction. And I wanted to share what lunch time looks like here in Cau Giay.

  • All around the world, office workers love their lunch breaks.

  • In Hanoi, it's no different.

  • I've been working in this area for over a month now, and one of my favorite things to do

  • is people watch during my lunch break.

  • People usually leave in groups from their office to eat at any one of the many restaurants across the street.

  • Most will eat quickly and go straight into chill mode.

  • There are dozens of cafes around to cater to everyone's need for caffeine and relaxation.

  • This all sounds like a normal lunch in any major city around the world, right?

  • Well there's one thing that stands out to me as uniquely Vietnamese

  • and it's all the sidewalk chilling.

  • Little plastic stools and tables on the sidewalk offer sunflower seeds to snack on

  • and iced tea to sip on.

  • Workers chat with one another, play on their phones, and lounge about until it's time to head back to

  • their office for a power nap. Vietnam definitely goes into siesta mode at noon.

  • There's also quite a number of vendors selling fresh fruit right from their bicycles and carts.

  • It's a great way to buy something healthy to munch on back at the office.

  • The hustle and bustle of lunch break finishes just as quickly as it started.

  • The surrounding neighborhood quickly quiets down as people migrate back to work.

  • So that's it guys, I hope you guys enjoyed what a normal weekday lunch break looks like here in Hanoi city.

  • And yeah, if you guys have any questions or comments, leave them down below.
