Our entrance to the communist country of Vietnam was not as smooth nor as grand as our other entrances. First-off, the bus ride from Siem Reap took the entire day. Secondly, the Vietnamese Immigration is corruption in action! Crossing the border was easy enough - bus conductor got all our passports, Cambodian immigration officer stamps it and off we go. A few minutes away and we all get down, ... Read Full Entry

I was not surprised by your sad experience at the Vietnam border. My worst trip in Asia so far was in Vietnam. The people are the rudest and most dishonest people I have encountered in my many holidays overseas. They more often than not overprice their goods and cheat if they can get away with it. The Viets also have a violent streak probably because of their sad experience in the war against the Americans. I was actually robbed of my cell phone in Saigon. So tourists beware.... Vietnam Dangerous!!!

Mr. Chan
Hi, of course you dont know me but I found your blog through a string of websearches cuz my friends and I plan to take a trip to HCM...we actually discovered Bich Duyen and its great comments in the internet and would actually want to stay there mainly because a lot of people seem to trust him. Anyway, would you have any email or contact number from him? It would greatly help our trip. Thanks a bunch! Hope you email back! Your blog is very helpful by the way!
