Oh man, I got forced onto a plane with about fifty other people and flown halfway around the world. Then when we finally get where they want us, they hand us Ballistic armor, a first aid kit, and an M16 rifle.
 
It's 130 during the daytime, and 100 at night with 100% humidity. There are spiders that are quite literally as big as my hands, snakes all over the place, and a celebratory sandstorm once a week! The food is composed of three square MRE's and the bathrooms are a complete disaster. I get shot at about once every couple weeks and had someone try to blow up my truck with a bomb they paved over.
 
On the other hand I've lost about 30 pounds, can run two miles in twelve minutes twenty seconds and found that the "Flying Jackmove," my personal super move, works just as good against people from other countries as it does Americans.

Your travel "nightmare" involves being overcharged by a taxi and being overcharged by a hotel? That hardly qualifies as a nightmare.

This really a shame with Vietnamese because Hanoi is the Vietnam's capital.
But I think you would be better if traveling in the South of Vietnam: from Hue to Hochiminh, people are more friendly, polite...
I have a good time in Phanthiet maybe one of the best beach and the people is very warm. Mui Nee is beautiful and INEXPENSIVE
And I think you need check info anyplaces in vietnam before go to.
Why don't you search on
lonelyplanet vietnam ,
vietnam beaches and travel guide ,
http://www.travelpod.com...and Google certainly

That nothing I was hyjacked by movers , one of those that charges on price then when its time to take your stuff off the truck they say it will be another five hundred to take my stuff off the truck .  anyways I learned you dont hire movers any more just hire a truck and hire labours and pay them a fair wage
point is you dont have to leave the country to have a
bad comercial experience
I did report them to the police and to crime stoppers . I figured the company wa workin all under the table ,
