Anan Saigon 

Anan Saigon is a restaurant that takes traditional Vietnamese dishes, like banh mi and turns them into gourmet meals. It is a real treat if you’re a foodie who enjoys trying innovative menu items. This restaurant offers options like truffle and wagyu pho that will make your mouth water. Save this eatery for special occasions, as the pricing is higher than most Vietnamese restaurants in Saigon.

This restaurant offers an airy, bamboo and sculpture-filled dining area that aids in creating a more authentic experience. Expect a lively atmosphere with clinking glasses, laughter, and tasty food. Lang Nuong Nam Bo is famous for its whole suckling pig, so it’s a must-try while at the restaurant. You’ll also find fresh seafood on the menu.

You’ll find authentic Vietnamese cuisine on the menu, like fresh spring rolls filled with pork and shrimp. This spot also has an assortment of teas and fun cocktail options.

Noir Dining in the Dark 

If you want a unique eating experience while exploring Saigon, Noir Dining in the Dark is a great option. This restaurant has been open since 2014 and was created with the blind/visually impaired Vietnamese community. The restaurant supports the community by hiring blind/visually impaired servers. When you arrive, your server will guide you through complete darkness to your table. The goal is to allow your other senses to be at the forefront of your experience. You can choose between two menu options – an omnivore selection of dishes or one with vegetarian food. The menu items are a surprise but include ingredients sourced from Vietnam, Asia, and other international locations.

Hum 

Those in need of vegetarian options will want to visit Hum. This restaurant specializes in vegetarian cuisine, hoping others will see how diverse and flavorful it can be. The experience begins as soon as you get near the restaurant, as you’ll need to cross a small pond/garden area before entering. Once inside, you’ll find the same tranquil atmosphere ensuring a relaxing experience. Hum prides itself on using simple, wholesome foods to create nourishing yet tasty meals. Menu items include banana blossom salad and vegetarian pad thai.

This restaurant specializes in fried bananas (a popular Saigon street food) and has since added eight stalls, all offering its local specialty. If you prefer a sweeter banana dish, grilled sticky bananas, banana smoothies, and banana ice cream are also available here.

  • One thing we learned in Seoul today is that by wearing our Retirement Travelers shirts and vlogging our adventures, we were no longer ordinary tourists. We were viral-worthy legends in the eyes of middle-school boys. At Gyeongbokgung Palace, we were admiring the royal rooftops when this fun group of kids spotted us and swarmed. Phones clicked, peace signs flew, and we soaked up our five minutes of fame. And to think—our kids back home just call us “cute old people” but clearly, in South Korea, we are one step away from debuting as the next K-pop duo. 🤣 #seoulkorea #seoul🇰🇷 #kpop #korea NEVER STOP ACTING LIKE A KID!!!
  • Hands down, our favorite thing at the Osaka World Expo 2025 was the Grand Ring—a jaw-dropping, 2-kilometer wooden skywalk that loops above the pavilions like a giant hula hoop. Not only does it hold the Guinness World Record for the largest wooden architectural structure, but it also came with one magical feature most of the pavilions lacked: no reservations required!!! We strolled around the wooden marvel like VIPs with zero lines and awesome views. #osaka #worldexpo #japan
  • We took one last wander through Kyoto’s bamboo forest today—along with what felt like the entire population of Earth. Still, the towering stalks and swaying hush made it feel like nature was trying its best to whisper over the crowd. As we get ready to leave Kyoto behind, we’re carrying some unforgettable moments with us and we look forward to adding some more along the way. #kyoto #japanlife  #bambooforest
  • We’ve officially arrived in Kyoto, and guess who’s already winning at this whole cultural immersion thing. Our 7-year-old granddaughter. Jet lag? She laughed in its face. Chopsticks? She’s in training. Bowing politely? Basically, a local diplomat. And the outfit? A pink kimono and a matching fan that we bought her—she’s got more style than the rest of us combined. Meanwhile, we’re over here trying to decode the Japanese metro system like it’s an escape room… after a month of being spoiled by China’s luxury rail life. She’s thriving, we’re surviving—and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way! It is also good reminder to us to still see the world through the curiosity and innocence of a child. Evie, Thanks for joining us in Japan!!! #kyotojapan #kyoto #japan
  • In the heart of Shanghai’s futuristic skyline, we found ourselves living a dream—our lodging nestled high within the iconic Jin Mao Tower(Bldg on left). Each morning, we woke to a commanding view of the World Financial Center slicing through the sky, and just steps away stood the architectural marvel that is the Shanghai Tower—the third tallest building in the world. Our adventure reached thrilling new heights as we ascended to its summit, where the city sprawled beneath us like a living tapestry. It was more than just a stay; it was a front-row seat to one of the most awe-inspiring skylines on Earth. #shanghai #chinatrip #jinmaotower #shanghaitower #china
  • A visit to Beijing isn’t complete without a long walk on the Great Wall (Badaling section), which is now only a 30-minute train ride from Beijing North Railway Station. It is simply spectacular and a must visit. #greatwall #greatwallofchina #china
  • Bev stood in awe before the Army of Terracotta Warriors near Xi'an. Hidden for 2200 years, these ancient relics were only unearthed by a Chinese farmer in 1974. China's First Emperor Qin Shi Huang sought to defy mortality. He poured vast resources into constructing an underground empire, complete with palaces, armies, chariots, and stables. Spanning 21 square miles, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the largest burial ground on earth. #xian #xianchina #terracottawarriors #china #retirementtravel
  • The reason we stopped in Chengdu was pretty black and white………and very, very cute. 🐼
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is an incredible facility that houses over 200 Giant Pandas and Red Pandas. This photo is the most famous resident here. She is a cutie and a social media star in China, named HuaHua.

  • We are in Chongqing. This municipality in southwestern China is considered one of the largest cities in the world with over 30 million people. It is massive! It is nicknamed “The Mountain City” because of the many urban hills with unique transportation systems that adapt to the terrain. This is a vibrant place with lots of high-end shopping, a monorail that passes through a building, towering skyscrapers, and so many wonderful “Hot Pot” restaurants. #china #chongqing #lizibastation
  • Just zipping around China by train,
We think it’s much better than a plane.
A rail network so vast,
And speeds that are fast,
There is nary a thing to complain.

Several of you have asked how we are getting around in China? Well, the Chinese high-speed train system has quite simply BLOWN US AWAY!!! It is modern, affordable, fast, clean, efficient, convenient and has great service. There is a rapidly expanding network of 25,000 miles of high-speed rail lines, with numerous daily routes going about anywhere you would want to go. We have tried the 1st and 2nd class tickets, both of which are perfectly fine, but admit we love the over-the-top luxury of business class for affordable prices. We will be detailing more info about Chinese train travel in future videos, so stay tuned. John and Bev

  • Tianmen Mountain was our third incredible attraction near Zhangjiajie, China. The mountain can be accessed from the city by two different exhilarating aerial trams or a dangerous highway featuring 99 hairpin turns. Tianmen literally means “Heaven’s Gate” and the 999 stairs leading up to the opening are known as the Stairway to Heaven. Climbing this stairway was another bucket list experience for us, so we took our time on the steep steps and just savored every moment. After passing through the gate, a long series of escalators take you up through the inside of the mountain to the top, where they have a glass-bottomed walkway hugging a cliffside and many great views of the area.

  • Would you dare walk across the highest glass bridge in the world? 😱 The incredible Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge was completed in 2016, sits 984’ above the canyon floor and has 99 glass panels just begging you to look down. We were nervous at first, but soon found ourselves lying on the glass and taking pictures like silly kids. And this park has more than just the bridge. We had so much fun on the elevators, zip lines, mountain slides, boat rides and hiking on the canyon floor. #glassbridge #bridge #china #zhangjiajie #yikes
