It's like traveling back in time to when life was simple, people were happy with what they had and didn't live beyond their means. Image and material things don't matter as much here. It's much safer and cleaner than other cities in Vietnam. Not much nightlife so the streets are empty after 10pm
People here are a bit ignorant about what actually happens out there in the real world and insists on going about things their own way, but then again, they do say 'ignorance is bliss' The people are far too conservative and a bit too presumptuous. Business hours are very inconsistent. People only work when they feel like it. Very few establishments are open between 11am and 3pm so it makes going out to eat for lunch almost impossible. You're basically screwed if you get hungry after 9pm as well.
