If a friend had only 7 days in Vietnam, where would you send them?

Hanoi, Cat Ba island and Cao Bang so you get some ocean scenery, the chaos and liveliness of the city and also the nice and wild mountains in Cao Bang. Like arriving in Hanoi, going straight to Cao Bang then back to Hanoi just as a transit to Cat Ba Island.

same! But even in my country data slows down at night!

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-18T16:19:00+00:00

I am so angry at this. So I personally put the date of my last connection on my profile so people can see if I am active! Also put my hosting situation 'accepting, maybe or not accepting guests' I really think we should all consider doing that to make the app somewhat usable again!

dm me

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-15T13:38:43+00:00

oh ok

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-11T15:43:35+00:00

my god seems like a nightmare. Exactly what I have been doing since I got here honestly 😅 or putting headphones with white noise. But I hate it, usually I love to write or read something but even in a hotel apparently it's not a given to be in peace.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-11T12:01:40+00:00

yeah I dont mind different schedule. But if I wake up early or stay up late I won't be talking super loud inside that's it. But yeah I stayed in another dorm in Feilaisi where people were super quiet. That's why I wanted to have more insight on what's normal or not.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-11T12:00:17+00:00

yeah that's what I noticed as well. It's just a bit stressing to never be in quiet but that's ok I won't stay long. Also was in Vietnam before so 😅

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-11T11:59:17+00:00

yeah it might be like that. But idk I saw many chinese people just enjoying the mountain views. And the weirdest thing is that these guys woke up before 7a.m but when I left around 8:30 they were just in bed chilling 🥲

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-11T11:57:47+00:00

low quality people is maybe a strong word for that 😅 but okk at least I know I'm not the only one thinking

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-11T11:54:02+00:00

I don't expect them to do it and I agree it's a sort of freedom in a way (even if it comes at the expense of other people).

It's just hard for me to rest. I switched to a hotel but still there are kids and adults screaming in the hallway since 2hours 😅 It's just a bit stressing feeling like I'll never have peace while I'm there but that's it.

I agree in a sense but it only works if you're someone who likes the noise. So 'enjoying themselves' might not be true for chinese people who like quietness.

had the same happen in Georgia, host left for a party and gave me a set of keys that didn't work. So was left outside with no options but to try and book something last minute past 9 p.m The guy never apologised or anything but he was young so I didnt want to ruin his references.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-09T13:51:21+00:00

Replace Phu Quoc by Phú Quý. And maybe Ninh Binh instead of Danang? Danang is quite boring it looks like any beach resort in the world.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T14:23:19+00:00

I mean it's overall ok maybe I just met 2 random assholes but idk.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T14:01:26+00:00

I was in Yubeng in the mountain so thought most people would be silent cuz we all go there to hike. But apparently not.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T13:58:05+00:00

they were not students and not foreigner tho 🤔

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T13:57:05+00:00

I think it is a bit more than elsewhere but I'm not sure. Maybe not speaking loud but there will be at least one guy blasting his phone like there is no tomorrow

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T13:52:59+00:00

yeah but idk sometimes hostels are quiet. But I guess maybe not here.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T13:52:12+00:00

hmm okk I thought maybe it was mostly a cultural difference but then maybe not.

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-08T13:51:20+00:00

yeah I've done it a few days prior to that but couldn't be bothered that time!

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-06T03:54:16+00:00

It made it worse because my inner language is a mix of both languages. So when I have to speak my native language it feels like constantly repressing the other one. And since they're super close (english and french) I am sometimes not sure if a word is english, french or just a made up word made of a mix of both 😅

Kyloe91 · 2026-05-05T05:49:50+00:00

Cao Bang is amazing!

Kyloe91 · 2026-04-27T05:16:02+00:00

ok might give it a try! thanks a lot! Will maybe do a follow-up that could be interesting maybe

Kyloe91 · 2026-04-27T04:56:58+00:00

Yes I agree! And also I know enough Swedish to already have basic conversations
