The gentle Vietnamese people, hospitality, if you have any problems, please thanks to the help of the people before meeting the police. Because, in some cases, the police doesn’t arrive in time.
Politicially, Vietnam belongs to the communist party, we were one-party. About the law, the use of guns is prohibited by the state, if there were any fights already, there would be police assist.
However, in the big city like Ho Chi Minh city, you should take good care of your personal belonggings. Don’t listen to the phone on the street if don’t want to be robbed, don’t go overnight alone if you don’t want to meet a few pervert. Just like other country also, when you travel alone, you must be alert to strangers.
A foreigner once said, taking in traffic in Vietnam is like an advanture game. Our country use motobikes mostly, but bigcity have many cars, during rush hours, traffic jam often occurs, crossing the road is very dangerous in Vietnam. You have to learn how to cross the street in Vietnam ( I will write other post for you).
When i was backpacking around Vietnam, i witnessed many traffic accidents by foreigners. There are many reasons to traffic accidents, but the main reason is they don’t obey the traffic laws. There are a lot of the road is dangerous, if you don’t read the newspaper, don’t read topic of other blogger, you don’t understand about my country, you are definitely in danger.

I was read a blog post by other blogger in Canada, he’s write: Why, i’ll never return to Vietnam. He argues a lot, but there are 3 main problems:constantly hassled, overcharged, ripped off, and treated badly by the locals…
Maybe it was a bad experience, and i’m so sorry about that. When you travel around Southest Asia, you will encounter the same things. So, the best way to travel is to be proactive in all. Don’t be fooled, try not to be in danger…
