A female Vietnamese pickpocket tried to steal my wallet, but she failed. I already knew what she was about to do, and I was able to stop her before she could do it. But anyway I also had a great experience with Vietnamese people. Twice I left my phone at a cafe, and I got it back. So the lesson here is to not let one bad experience influence you when it comes to judging a person or a place. Generalizing a country or a group of people just because of some experience is just plain wrong.. Let’s say another traveler had a bad experience while traveling Vietnam or some other country and told his friends back home about it. Please do not just think that same experience will happen to you when you go to that country. Maybe that guy, for the lack of a better word, just was not lucky and did not meet the right people, the nice people. People are people. They are the same in any country. There is good and bad. But if you really try hard, you will find that people are inherently good.. Having traveled all over the world, I did see the best in people, How they go out of their way to help me and to make me feel at home in their country. In conclusion, I still enjoy this country and met some really nice Vietnamese here. For sure, I will be back. And let’s say I didn’t have a great experience here. I would still be back and give it a chance. Vietnam has really opened my eyes and really made me discover its beauty which you cannot just experience through written words, videos and pictures. You really have to come here and experience it.
