Can't believe there isn't a general about Nam already, even though everyone and their mother is going there.I myself did Saigon, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, and the Ha Giang Loop earlier this year. Can highly recommend all of it.
There are 3 threads on the catalog
>>2874306Those are Vietnam threads, but not an actual Vietnam General.>>2867664Group of four asking specifically about their trip>>2862690English teacher moving to Da Nang>>2872636Visa runner asking specifically about Ho Chi Minh City.These are not general discussions, they are very clearly self-serving threads.
>>2874305Why are Vietnam lovers always so vague about their experiences?>I highly recommend>The country is great>It was a lot of funIs Vietnam the new "babby's first extended trip overseas" destination? Because everyone who goes there sure as hell talks like it was the first time they've ever done this kind of thing. They have no frame of reference to compare it to, so they are unable to voice any meaningful compliments or critiques regarding the country.
>>2874318Yes as someone who has been literally everywhere in Asia except Vietnam, I've never seen compelling reports other than the obvious if I want Vietnam war history experience
Do people actually get high off balloons in Nam?
I arrived in Hanoi a couple of days ago and it felt so wrong: so polluted, bad smells everywhere, insane chaotic traffic, unbearable humid tropical heat, people are nice at first but some also seem to see you as a walking ATM.But then I entered into a random bar playing vinahouse tonight and I had a ton of fun, people gave me a lot of drinks, encouraged me to dance, wanted me to flirt with their female friends to troll them, lots of laughs, anyway it was insane, so I guess I just needed to get acclimated to the local pace of life.I went to a Jolibee beforehand and a girl told me "I'm surprised to see a foreigner living around locals" so I imagine I ended up in a district that is absolutely not touristic and that's why my hotel is so cheap, hence the initial shock factor.The air is so polluted tho, the government really needs to do something about it. At least I can stay if in my room if I don't want to interact with anyone and not breathe the smog.>>2874339Yeah I've heard you can buy N2O in some clubs but I haven't seen that from my own eyes yet.
What do I do if I sense the cab driver is trying to scam me?
>>2874339>voluntarily getting permanent braindamage for a 2 seconds high
>>2874397Should have took public transit chud
>>2874400What fucking public transit?
>>2874339It's quite common in Hanoi, most club goers do it. Even the locals do it
>>2874305Yeah
>>2874355AQI in Hanoi is currently 3x worse than here in India, kek>>2874397If you don't want to pay for the luxury of private car service, don't use it. >>2874401City buses, you dipshit. Same as any city anywhere in the world.
How’s the fuel situation there? Long queues to fill up?
>>2874305how much time is needed to do all that? I don't like to rush when travelling
>>2874339Not as easy to get now as about 2 years ago. Also don't.>>2874397Don't take cabs. Book a Grab car. Pay the 25k for Grab unlimited and enjoy Grab Premium cars at cheaper rates than regular grab rides. I am an unapologetic Grab shill because of its dirt cheap convenience. >>2874437Things seem fine. I fuel up rather often and never have to wait. The feds cracked open the emergency fuel subsidy fund last month to slow the price creep.Supply isn't affected much for the layman. The main worry is on jet fuel rn, but so far so good despite Petrolimex's warnings.
>>2874398Is there such thing as a high that doesn't cause brain damage?
>>2874497You gotta do a lot of shrooms and constant weed to get equivalent brain damage as a couple huffs of galaxy gas
Can incel guys get laid here, or is that only a Philippines Thailand thing?
Saigon>Hanoi
>>2874516Depends on how ugly or fat and autistic you are. I got laid there for free as a bald 250 pound fat fuck
>>2874424Public transportation is unreliable in the Third World. With traffic jams year-round, you’ll end up regretting it and wishing you’d just walked instead.
>>2874579It's not unreliable, but merely time-consuming and difficult to figure out (in cities with non-numbered bus routes). Most tourists' time is worth more than their money, which is why they spring for a taxi from their hotel door.>>2874516Many guys brag about it, but they never provide proof, so for all we know they're a bunch of larpers. Others claim that Viet girls have zero interest in hookups with random foreigners.
>>2874516JBW works everywhere, you'll have to drop your standards a bit though, but hwhite girls are dtf easily>>2874584Viet girls will absolutely hook up with whites, even incels
>>2874546I'm not bald or fat, but I'm 5'8 so that probably cancels out my whiteness. Also as a no experience virgin I may as well be autistic as I'm too innocent.>>2874584>>2874592From my research, it seems Vietnamese girls only want serious relationships, and with other Vietnamese. This honestly makes dating more fun as a white guy, but also harder. It's not like Philippines where every girl is looking for a white sugar daddy, it's actually first world.
>>2874616>my research>it seems Vietnamese girls only want serious relationships, and with other Vietnamesewat
I'm drunk rn
>>2874618My research of watching YouTube videos about the matter
