Some things never change!

So although Vietnam is very different in so many ways… esp good ways, there are some definite funny things that pretty much stay consistent across the SE Asian penninsulas here.
Tuk tuk drivers, and their scam prices (got ripped off by a taxi driver for our first time from the dreaded meter on crack- as our friend calls it) One of the rigged meteres that jumps up wayyyy too fast. That was pretty annoying.. again more an insult to the well-traveled instincts we supposedly claim.
The walking shopping mall- as I call it. When you just want to simply sit alone and take in the beautiful views.. but instead there's a hoard of fakely friendly people walking by constantly trying to sell you something.
