Sometimes I will go for a walk around Hoàn Kiếm Lake, What's up, everyone?
Slow and Clear của What's Up English My name is Carter. And today you're
going to learn how to talk about your daily routine. Not only that, but you're
going to learn many different activities and fun things that people do not
even just fun things, but things that people do in Vietnam. So this will be
really useful for you to make plans with someone for you to talk about what
you did on the weekend for you to simply make small talk with other people.
So first, I'm going to tell you guys about my daily routine in Hanoi. And
spoiler alert. It's really nothing too special. It's very normal, I would say. I
wake up if it's in the winter, then it can be pretty hard to get out of bed
because your bed is so warm, outside is so cold. Even in summer in Vietnam,
it can be hard to get out of your room because you have the air conditioner
on and it feels so cool and outside of your room is really hot. But yeah, so I
wake up and then I usually go outside and get some sunlight into my eyes.
I'm not the best sleeper. I have trouble sleeping. So I researched online to go
outside, get sun in your eyes in the morning, and also try to raise your body
temperature by doing some exercise. So sometimes I will walk to the rooftop
of my apartment building through the stairs from a very low floor to the top
floor and that is my exercise. And then I get the sunlight on the rooftop. So
after I walk from my floor to the rooftop, I'm usually feeling pretty, pretty
hot from the exercise. And then I stand on the rooftop for about five or 10
minutes, get the sunlight. Then I go back down. I brew a coffee with the
Vietnamese phin. In English, maybe it's just called the Vietnamese coffee
filter, or we call it Vietnamese drip coffee. So I brew one of those with a little
bit of condensed milk and a pinch of salt. And then while that's brewing, I will
maybe go on my computer, plan my day, check the tasks that I have to do.
Usually some form of work, because early in the morning I'm still in a relaxed
mood, and in the morning, I feel like it's easier to focus. So when my coffee's
ready, I drink my coffee and then sometimes I will do a quick workout. Like
before it was only a short, small workout and then after I drink the coffee, I'm
like, Ooh, I'm pumped up. So then maybe I'll do a workout. And then after
that, often I will eat and then go to work. So what I eat in the morning is

Podcast - Tập 4 - Transcript

pretty much only two things. It is either phở or oatmeal. It depends on what I
feel like, but to be honest, I feel like I could eat phở every day and not get
tired of it. Well, I do eat phở every day and I don't really feel tired of it, so... I
don't know, there's something magic about that dish, to be honest... Because
you can eat it so often and you don't get tired of it. It's crazy. So yeah, I eat, I
go to work. my job is at a middle school. That's all I will say. After work, I
usually come straight home because at that time it's rush hour. And rush
hour guys is usually between like five and six. It can go a little bit longer,
6:30, but that's when the traffic is the worst. And then I drive home. By the
way, we can call that a "commute". So my commute from home to work is not
too far. So then I go home, relax a little bit, and then, for dinner, I will often
order food or I will go out for dinner with a friend. I don't often cook at home,
to be honest, I should cook at home more, but it just feels so much more
convenient and still cheap to eat out or order food. then after dinner I usually
work on my YouTube channel until about 10 or 11 o'clock. Then I just start to
relax and get ready for bed. And uh... Oh! I forgot one important detail of my
routine At the end of the night, I always play with my two cats. Tí and Tèo I
will show you guys these cats on a livestream but yeah, they are brothers. I
love them so much. they're awesome cats and they really help me relax at the
end of the day. Yeah, they're really awesome. So that is my daily routine on a
normal weekday, nothing too interesting, right? It's nothing special. I think
many people just, you know, most people live lives like that. We get up, we
do this thing, we go to work, come home, we do that thing, and the fun
things we do are in between all of the things we must do, right? So on the
weekend, sometimes I will, So on the weekend, sometimes I will, go for a walk
around Hoàn Kiếm Lake, sometimes I will play badminton with a friend, go
out to a cafe with a friend, maybe go to a nice restaurant in Westlake
because Westlake has a lot of international restaurants and I really like
international food like Mexican food or Indian food. So now I'm going to talk
about activities that I see people doing a lot in Hanoi and these things. If you
live in Ho Chi Minh City, if you live in some other big city or even in the
countryside, you can use, you can use these things to talk about what you do

So for example, in Hanoi, you can go to the night market, you can wander
around there, you don't you don't necessarily need to buy anything, but you
can just take a look at what people are selling. You can go to a cafe and just
hang out. So one of the great things about cafes is that you don't really need
any reason to go to a cafe, right? You can go there to work or you can just
call your friend. You want to hang out? Sure. Okay, let's go to a cafe and then
just sit at the cafe and enjoy a coffee, maybe a tea. Many people gather at
cafes and they don't even, like, talk to each other. Right? They just sit there
on their phones, but at least they're still together. So they enjoy just being
next to one another. What else? I see many young kids rollerblading. Maybe
some of you call this roller skating. I think it's the same thing. But in Canada
we call it rollerblading. And they do this in the parks and they go really fast.
It's actually really fun if you try it. I notice in Vietnam, pretty pretty much
only kids do the rollerblading. But, if you're an adult and you want to try it,
try it. It's seriously, it's a lot of fun and it's a really good workout. When
tourists come to Hanoi, they can go or any city, When I say Hanoi, I mean
anywhere, basically, in Vietnam. They can go on a food tour, they can visit the
temple of literature, or they can go to the prison museum. It's definitely a few
things to do. Other things I often see people doing are sitting on the
sidewalk and eating street food. To be honest, personally, I'm not a huge fan
of street food because most of it is like processed and fried and just not
really healthy for you. Like those, um, those meat sticks. Not, not, not, "thịt
xiên", And, but the ones where it's like a stick and you put the different
meats on it, like the balls, the pink balls, the yellow balls. I don't even know
what those are called, but I see they're very common, So yeah, you could chill
on the street and eat that street food. And so those are a lot of things you
could use to make plans to talk about what you did on the weekend for
different sports. We can say, you know, play football, play badminton, play
table tennis. We don't use hit, right? We don't say hit tennis. when we're
talking about walks, you can say go for a walk, have a walk, go for a stroll, go
for a run, go for a jog. That all sounds very natural. You can say go jogging.
So, for example. Oh, Tomorrow I'm going to go for a jog. Or tomorrow I'm

Podcast - Tập 4 - Transcript

going to go jogging. Both of them are totally okay. Oh, yeah. And that
reminds me some other things you can do. You can go workout at the gym,
you can go out for dinner at a restaurant. So there's just so many activities
that I'm sure I cannot name them all. But hopefully I've been able to name a
lot of them that will be really useful for you guys if there are any activities
that I didn't name. Feel free to post it in the comments. tell us like what you
do on a regular day. You could practice writing. You know, first I do this, then
after that I do this. Sometimes I do this. If it's something, I'll do that right?
So, for example, I often go for a walk in the evening, but if it's raining, I'll stay
home and read something like that. So, guys, that's it for this podcast. But if
you want to check out my live stream, then click this video. This was the first
live stream I've ever done. I forgot to post the live chat. So next stream you
will be able to see the live chat, but you can expect me to be streaming every
Sunday at 10 a.m. and I will post that for you guys. So yeah, thank you so
much for listening, for watching this podcast. I hope it was useful for you and
I will see you in the next video. Have a great day.
