Viet Nam Hanoi brigands alert

The travels of part I will write slowly, but for brigands information I think should be the first time out, so as not to be fooled again lvyoumen.

I am from Hanoi by bus to Nanning.

Naturally, I assure my hotel to make the purchase of Hanoi-Nanning bus. The hotel's claim that they are sinh cafe tour (Viet Nam veteran travel agency, famous for the backpackers in high visibility), Hanoi to Nanning bus for sale.

Then the hotel were very enthusiastic about the "" and "detailed" describes the bus.

That there are three types of ticket: normal, standard, VIP. Difference is:

Ordinary car does not have air conditioning, seating cannot adjust fares $ 20;

Standard cars have air conditioning, but you cannot adjust the seat, the price is $ 25;

VIP cars is the new car, have air-conditioning, seat adjustment, the fare is $ 32.

And the hotel were urged me to purchase as soon as possible, because the "buy late no votes."

From Hanoi to some 8 hours by car, I finally opted for a VIP ticket.

The hotel's personal start day morning 6: 30 or so there will be a bus back to pick me up at the gate of the hotel.

Pro before day ticket is sent to my hands, and ticket prices without writing on.

Departure day morning no bus to pick me up, but the hotel sent a used motorcycle to take me to the bus station.

A road motorcycle drivers also to passers-by for directions.

And so-called VIP car is domestic common gold longdaba (but most than in Viet Nam is a luxury bus).

And the car has not only sit in total to 1/3 of people, many people still come to the car is now bought the ticket. I ask the conductor that fare fare is 270K Viet Nam shield, approximately $ 16, and is clearly written on the ticket.

Obviously, I have been cheated.

Behind me sitting a Russia Alice, I asked him and he bought the ticket. He says he think he should be killed, his vote is $ 21. I reassured him "before you ripped the Chinese ass more ruthless!"
