BAD IMPRESSION OF VIETNAM'S TOURISM


Had extra good impression of Vietnam tourism. Every story from real travelers mention a problem of "immortality" but always worth pondering.

Surprise first called "Taxi" ...

Ceridwen girl down from Phu Bai Airport (Hue). She gave the address on the piece of paper for his taxi on the right to ask to be placed before the hotel. Everything seems all right until Ceridwen step into the bathroom of the hotel.

She panicked because the address indicated on the towel is not exactly that she requested address. After payment of 1 night room at the hotel for $ 500 thousand dollars, instead of 300 thousand dollars as the list price, she immediately moved to the original hotel as she wanted to (2-star hotel with the comfort level than other hotels, with only 10 euro = 280,000 VND).

Ceridwen told me: "I do not understand why people did this taxi, but it always seems to happen for foreigners in Vietnam. When I realized that, I'm not in the DMZ, the hotel took my passport, so I can not change the hotel. "

Price drinks "secret" $ 10 "tip" for rowing boats

I stay overnight in Halong Bay aboard the H. Wood. On board only my wife and I were Vietnamese, the rest are foreigners. There is a very strange point is not for tourists to know the price drinks. Lunch I sat at a table with a French family, they have asked me about the price of some beverages that call more.

I went to reception and asked the waiter, but they are not absolutely tightlipped but said: "You just drink comfortably go, before the new bank a check." But then both I and almost all tourists on board were "distorted face" when paying for drinks "secret": Tiger lon 2.5 USD = 60,000, nearly six times the normal price and more than 3, 4 times the prices of services in other restaurants. A glass of orange juice cost $ 3.9 = 80,000 VND, service 4 times the price at other restaurants ....

When our group split up the small boat to visit some parts of the Ha Long Bay (fare tour package has many), then turn the paddle does not let me rest and three visitors at all. She cried constantly try as hard as every type of hand paddle area, a guest turned to ask me: "She à pain".

I clearly see the discomfort on the face of vicious visitors. During the process goes, she always mention the word "tip" clear to her colleagues are tasks in the adjacent boat. Once ashore, I gave her 50,000 VND and I found the family in the other boat to come to carve out $ 10 for "tips" for boating. They told me: "We have to pay more for these people to be transported to their game?!! ..."
French family had to "tip" for the rowing boat because it was thought imperative.


On Bus 24 seat bus to the airport, Josiane, a French traveler recalls, "I can not understand why this driver can drive with one hand while your other hand to be able to call rambled something about a problem for several minutes without interruption. He is not even wearing a seatbelt. With all that we are at the cavalry. When parking at airports chain before we truly believe I am safe. Prays to God for that. "


Sitting on the plane with the free man thinking about Vietnam travel, Josiane and Alain couple continued to surprise on the manner of service of flight attendants: "They key in front of us one of the two something normal and said curtly, "Tea or coffee?", whether it is normal to offer you the hostess? Josiane asked me so!

When I asked "How do you feel when you travel to Vietnam," she said: "I was pleased to discover the culture of the indigenous peoples you, Hanoi was beautiful, but there Hanoi seems aloof person than people in Saigon. "

It 's true, any visitor to Vietnam are impressed with the beautiful natural landscape, with the culture imbued with nationalism. But with tourism as the way they Josiane ended by saying: "It's hard for me to talk about how you travel the country with my friends when they want to go to Vietnam."
