I knew there would be complications so i got up early for my 8.30 flight. I woke at just past 5, had a little breakfast in my room. Walking into the hotel foyer the receptionist was asleep on a camp bed, he jumped up, I asked him to hail a cab, he told me the price would be 300,000vnd and he told me not to give the driver anymore. Bike in and off we go, the taxi driver complained that 200,000vnd was not a lot for the airport, ohhhhhhhh, i see the system I’m so slow sometimes. I really did not have any more (available) money.
As i got to the airport check-in they looked at me sternly, have you been to immigration yet 😬 no. The guy led me to immigration to see the officer about me overstaying my visa by 4 days. I was fined 1,250,000vnd. (About £43, hence why no available cash for the taxi driver) i knew it was coming so not surprised.
The passport queue was seriously long, i wonder why there is only one person checking passports. And, Why do the food shops in the airport ask for USD, then have to work out the price in VND on a calculator. I was angry 😠
