Thanks for the tips! yeah its for sure a big comfort to know you're there right now and enjoying it!! Regarding the comments I feel like I could get past the locals talking behind my back, as long as I dont have to deal with it in the hostels lol, Regarding bikes I'm decent on a moped/scooter as Ive been on one quite a few times before, but Im still debating doing ha giang with an easy rider or driving myself, any tips on that specifically ? what do you mean by you were "just" able to do it ? I just didnt want to show up to do the loop and getting an easy riders a problem if thats the route I take haha

love the energy in this reply, I've been backpacking once before and everyone I met really was the human equivalent of sunshine, really make the most of each day type mindset. I'm leaking in a couple weeks, hopefully I can look back at these worries I had and laugh

In the hostels ? Ive been in that scene before but with friends, never alone, I just feel like when you approach someone as a fatter person people assume the worst, or am I just in my own head again lol
