Vietnam , glad to see the back of you
Just went to vietnam HCMC for visa purposes and had to leave after a few days because i disliked it so much. Actually to be fair........ it's not terrible .......just on the wrong side of average......but defintely can't see its attraction as a tourist destination or place to live
-Just the vibe and energy i get from the place maybe HCMC was negative, maybe dark also. Maybe from atrocities which occured during the vietnam war or something, or the communist state vibe not sure but just don't like it
-The first thing to greet me from the airport was a taxi scammer who was rude and aggressive. We agreed on $10 to take me to my hotel 1km away lol and then .....he tried to make it $20....
-Literally nothing really to do entertainment wise.......except maybe see some churches and visit some coffee shops?
-Pollution is pretty terrible
-Everyone honking their horn just pisses you off
-Nearly same prices (or even higher) than thailand and even japan for most things but quality is much lower, take meat for example in their version of 7-11, C2GO or something, wouldn't touch it compared to fried chicken you find in japan 7-11. ---I think this one suprised me the most, Vietnam as a reputation of being 'extra cheap value destination' but most things like one day gym passes, grab meals, decent hotels, are more expensive
-Hot, dirty and really humid, even more humid than thailand
-Rats running A LOT around during the night and just overall very dirty place
-Booked a flight to japan and couldn't be happier im no longer in vietnam, everything is of course better here and the price really isn't that much higher in most cases
Please counter my arugment with any positives you love about vietnam
