Cheap, friendly, crazy traffic, at least a week needed to feel the vibe properly.
Expected more beaches, lots of development and rubbish in places, nice people but infrastructure surprised me.
Ho Chi Minh felt chaotic but alive, street food is next level, plan for hot weather and lots of scooters.
If you use trains, book night sleepers early and bring earplugs, the berths are comfy and save a night's hotel.
Carry small bills everywhere, taxis often refuse big notes and getting change in markets is a hassle.
