I came accross a blog entry a while ago. The subject is not really genuine but i have to say that i agree on many points on the subject: "reasons to hate Vietnam", like:
- Dual pricing
- Noise
- Vietnamese language
- Traffic
- Architecture
- ...
My top 5 vietnam hate list would be:
- Foreigner scamming: even when you speak vietnamese they try to scam (huge price or else)...though sometimes you have no choice and get scammed knowing it...
- Road stupidity: while driving people often don't bother to look at where they go even when they are changing directions, same goes for walking (crossing big avenues).
- Noise: everything is so loud, karaoke, food stall, car horn, mobile phone (in cinema).
- Food: so overrated, at least the north one.
- Weather: so hot for 6 months, so cold a few weeks in winter and always so humide.
- ... and let's forget: quite narrow minded on homosexuality but not only (get married by 25, make baby within 1 year, treat like shit people socially low, etc) and it also seems to bother some of my friends (mainly the south vn ones).
I globally agree with the author though i think i am more accustom to the country. I would also conclude with his word: "a country i love to hate".
