One man's walk — fled to Viet Nam (2010, 1 month 3 days)

Got up, went to the second floor of the table (do not call the restaurant, because the entire second floor, there is only one table seating child) prepare breakfast to know our prices do not include breakfast, too, since I also have no interest in French bread, own the streets looking for it.

Morning of Hanoi is a busy, even though I live in motorcycle per capita volume of China's highest Foshan, but here is that the sun shines, Hanoi street motorcycle overcrowding as stinking in water hyacinth is spectacular!, as many users have said that in Viet Nam to cross the street as if in a staged different versions of shengsishisu, fortunately, I have in Foshan crossing the vast experience that Viet Nam was also able to cope.

Near the hotel snack bar everywhere, we grab a noodle shop went in.

Taste as the first two days of high standard, the service is really the boss aunt in place, very courteous to us with seasonings, also often thumbs that this delicious that punctuality. Viet Nam people really hospitable, Ah, I was secretly admire. Eat out, pay, I asked her how much she took out a $ of pointing out, I understand it, they give her fifty thousand, I think, after all, is the capital, the price is slightly higher than other places is also very good. Who knows, she shook her head, and said that fifty and is just a bowl of money, my mom, fifty and a bowl!! Rob? but eat noodle has to belly up, can't spit it out but to pay admission planted. After this lesson I'll eat anything before I will first ask the price, don't think came just two days of Viet Nam have experience, sometimes experience is useless, just get slaughtered!!

Back to the hotel and the three-man rendezvous, they asked me whether I was its own taxi to play or as a day tour, I say nothing, you decide.

They said because they time comparison, 22 days wanted to Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos are playing together, if you still have time but also the way to go about Thailand, they are leaving tonight, with the mission, peace of mind (okay Ah, Shikoku? I really admire!). I agree, they asked if we could go Mody tonight, I say no go, instrument is the fifth aircraft from Hanoi to return home, I want to send her machine, these two days we all stay in Hanoi. They said, okay, if you can catch up we go again, I thought I could catch the, Ah, you rush, I have a lot of time, I was a man walk. Discuss better after we set in the hotel, price cut to $ 25 for 20 USD/person, Chinese tour guide will have to wait until eleven o'clock, we decided to Chinese tour guide (mostly three-man insists on Chinese tour guide, because they almost is one sentence that could not understand, I really worry about down the road, how to get them, but they took a Salina). Booked tour after they began to ask Kung open bus ticket, hotel offer seats $ 45 MM, sleeper $ 50, we say it is too expensive, she said minimum 45 Yuan sleeper. Three-man said or expensive, they haven't seen in other hotels, so expensive and so they went to another hotel to buy tickets, and finally in another hotel to buy fare is $ 42. Buy the tickets they check out, this time the boss comes back, she comes back to see me winking, this time I look at her, eh, was quite exquisite. She asked me if I want to buy a bus ticket open, I say you're too expensive for my friends are bought in another hotel, she heard immediately made faces at me, asked me how much to buy, I said 42, she said she can sell 40, I said no, they've bought, she looked at me with strange movements, I smiled and told her that it does not matter, I want to buy, well, tomorrow I will tell you to buy it.

She said she now also some $ 35 tickets, asked me if I want to buy now, because this time tickets are relatively tight, I said it would buy chant, she asked me to buy a $ 35 or $ 40, I said of course is $ 35, she says it is $ 40, $ 35 VIP is second, and so well, I thought, well, not bad for $ 5, you get a 5 p.m. on the departure of VIP.

Buy out of votes (at that time, she does not have to vote for me, says I) she was shook my hand, then pinch me, mind of boss is really a flair of woman!

All completed, distance there are eleven more than two hours, three-man to walk on proposals, so our line of five people on the streets.

At half past ten, time running out to get returned to the hotel. On the street, a few minutes, don't see 7th car (Viet Nam is not the same as with China, their taxi has the normal five-seat, there are also a lot of seven, who is very convenient when you go out, then I'm rich island even saw Toyota off-road taxi). Can't wait to seven, I think, in fact, not too far to find a small crowd at have quickly back to the hotel, immediately hit a Daewoo's small cars, after boarding to the driver to see the hotel name card to travel to and from the hotel. Soon arrive at the destination, the eldest brother asked how much money the driver pointed meter: 130! not possible while in Viet Nam!!!!! taxi is a noble Act (usually around one thousand kilometers, amounting to approximately $ 4), but in such a short distance to be 130, last night we from the station to the hotel is only 90 kilometres more when I saw!! the taxi is no specific description of the charges, I know that is was black, who designed the slaughter! Zhang big brother was also somewhat vainly, is predestined for drivers, drivers in Wow Wow's barking, take out the paper and pen, solemnly wrote: 130, 000D, Mr. big brother even said "NO, NO!" and I said "we have to get off, and so I told him!" and get off after I went to the driver threw him over there, the driver knows encounter nasty and he motioned to me to give some can go, but the instrument still arguing with him. I say "go, not him," and then I put the meter away, while the driver neither have to get off to catch up, also did not say anything, because he saw that I was very tough. Afterwards they asked me how so bold to go, I say, some are completely beyond the normal fare, if he also dared dreaming I alarm, Viet Nam is vigorously developing tourism, will protect us these foreignPeople's legitimate rights and interests, or in the street, for fear of him, I am a foreigner and I feared the non HA HA, netizens, if you encounter in Viet Nam is also such a thing, be sure to try Ah, we are foreigners!

Back to the hotel, more than an hour of the appointed time Chinese tour guide, so-called VIP team, so are our five plus Guide to sit on a seven-seater TAXI.

Subsequently found that the Chinese tour guide is not a tour guide, just speak Chinese people of Viet Nam. On the way after a three-man, sculpture, do not know this is something, ask tour, the guide said that the Chinese do not know what to say, I say Cantonese "vulture", the guide quickly used the phrase "to Viet Nam, sculpture," huh, huh, it appears that the Cantonese and Vietnamese is somewhat similar. Sculpture/f, Guangdong Kaiping, well, we are now, or Guangdong's first cultural world heritage!

Change the way all the way at attractions, attractions in TAXI is not to say, everyone travels in other users see.

The twinkling of an eye, at four o'clock 45, came to the last spots Kiem. Three-man just tour to five minutes, they leave for the time to sit by the open bus, and three-man shook farewell, saying we'll contact. Their time to really catch, Kiem five minutes, West Lake, three minutes, alas had had

Now, only two people I and device.

By the Lake, go for an hour after we in the Lake of a restaurant, taste like the environment is generally kept punctuality, 31 million, meal also in the whole sit for an hour. From dining out, going back to the hotel, do not want to take a TAXI to sit round 3 romantic about it. There are many round the Lake, just looking for a business card, to him, he said that $ 3, then I think that is very far, because when I went to see the sights of the city shopping, not tell Southeast Northwest, anyway, is that very far, so do not think that expensive. Sit on the round start leisure and enjoy the scenery along the way. It's all too easy, the hotel name card lost, followed by the deluge of motorcycle group, Coachman said don't worry, he knew. Not three minutes, he said, I see no Ah, this road is not recognized. Argue with driver, to say that it is not clear that he said is that place, I said no. I'm going to get myself to think of a way, because it suddenly occurred to me that the book had seen that night, don't sit unknown tricycles, in case they pull you into remote parts of the implementation of the robbery. We got out of the car, he told us to get in, that means, don't worry, I look at the street also so many people, you should not fear to get on the train again. He is pulling us back to the original place to pick up business cards he helped us pick!! back to a business card, but I don't dare to take his car, instrument handed him $ 2, said that he did not take us to places, to $ 2, he did not accept, he jiliguala is not good in English, US English is not good, it is difficult to communicate, I called the ternary operator for him, not noisy, at this time, the driver from the one we just pull out places to eat out when translating a waitress, the results of the final translation is not for money, we hear so glad, Viet Nam people still very simple, immediately to the driver said "thank you very much!" With that I turn around ready to go, and who knows what he's up to jiliguala, this time I listen to understand that what he meant and not because they didn't put us to the place and not money, but he pulled us ran a back and forth, to $ 6 is robbed of!?!!

I take that told him that you did not send we arrive at the destination, I was not paid for, but you help us find a business card, as a thank you, most can only give you a 3-element, that would give it to him $ 3, he received the money, a face of disdain.

It is the arrogant and greedy Coachman! this is my first time and the last time during this trip to sit round of Viet Nam.

Leave the driver after we hit the TAXI back to the hotel, is really very close, is predestined to 600 meters, the meter to the Coachman!! wow the price is really great!! later I know that the driver actually did not send the wrong place, he is on the other side of the lane, but in that time we did not come before the alley of the end of the entrance.
