What do you really remember about Vietnam? (page 2 of 2)

Vietnam, a total love at first sight

Personally, Vietnam is the country that left the biggest impression on me in Southeast Asia.

The food. Pho for 1 euro, banh mi for 0.50 €, ca phe trung... it's the country where I ate the best in my life. Food budget: 8-10 € per day.

The organized chaos of Hanoi. 5 million scooters, no one respects the traffic lights, and yet it works.

The beauty of the north. Ha Giang by motorbike, the rice terraces of Sapa, Ha Long Bay.

Budget: 20-25 € per day as a backpacker. A detailed budget comparison here: https://flashvoyage.com/voyage-thailande-pas-cher-2026-budget/?utm_source=voyageforum&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=s1

2/10 That’s my take after 5 weeks traveling the whole country! I’d definitely advise against going there.

That’s too bad for you, of course. Could you share the specific experiences or reasons behind your rating? Thanks!

Coco, for his first post in 10 years! seems to have botched (Coco, *grated*, get it?) his forum debut…

But hey, who am I at 90 years old—the age listed on his profile—to judge? I have no idea, so I’ll keep quiet! 😉

Or maybe it’s just a good Belgian joke?

Since you're mentioning age, I hope you won't find this question too indelicate about how the forum generally works: in profiles, does the age increase as the years go by, or does it always stay the one indicated at registration?

Hi there... I just checked my profile, and the age displayed updates automatically over the years. Unless you choose not to display it, of course. Have a great day!

All you have to do is enter your date of birth (which you didn’t do) and your age will display automatically. The update happens every year on your birthday.

@Henon21 and Djalma, Thanks to both of you.

Have a great day.

Hi Coco, I’m also really surprised by the 2/10 rating. Just like our friendly Eric (Henon) asked, we’re eager to hear why it got such a low score. Sure, like in many countries, not everything’s perfect, but I think the rating’s pretty harsh. Unless there’s a good reason—we’re all curious to find out! Best, Joël

Hey, The answer in 10 years, for its 100th birthday? 😄
