Ready to leave Vietnam. Came back from Sapa to Hanoi and had a very bad incident. Got into a quarrel with a taxi driver because he rigged his taxi and charged us S$20 for a 7 minutes ride. He threaten to drive away with our bags if we refused to pay him. Had such a big argument but I have backed down at the end of the day. Hanoi is such a 'Heavenly' place. That very day, a few friends and I got into 2 other scams that we have to pay more money to deal with it that gave us a very bad impression of the place.
Was drinking coffee before leaving Hanoi and was sorting through my mixed feelings about Vietnam. Then I saw this lady peddling her wares in the street and realised that if they have the resources and choices we Singaporeans have, they don't have to resort to scams to make a living. People live the way they know best with all the resources they have. So to me Vietnam is still a wonderful place.
