    • There are many small traps in Vietnam. Airco buses turn out to be old crampy Russian minibuses with no airco, buying a train ticket for the fast train and getting one for the slow train (this happened to me and several others), and many others. It is all just part of it I think, and though annoying, not that big a deal. Just double check things if you´re not certain and get recommendations from fellow travellers.
