Crazy Saigon
Ho Chi Minh to me was a small shock. I'm well travelled but this place can make Bangkok look quiet. The only thing I don't like about Vietnam is the constant attempts to rip me off. The people there are always looking to take your things and money as if it's their right and it's really off putting and annoys me when I am not looking for stress. The abuse I got for not allowing people to take the mick was frankly incredulous. The most overused word is tip on top the 600% mark up.
Insider Tip:Dont acknowledge people who try to BS you and never accept anything without double checking it. Don't take flashy stuff either, they will target you anyway and I know they are poor but most of Asia don't act the way some Vietnamese do and they are no worse off? Better value for money than Thailand but the trade off is in the fewer manners
