All good mate just keep your hands on your gear and keep moving/walking steadily forward waving away those who want you to stop and buy their gear
If you stop you're fair game
If you get a chance in Hue take the trip to Phong Nha

I thought HCMC was like any and every other city in the world , very interesting but as Rocco said surprisingly modern .
I cycled across the border from Cambodia along the coast of the Mekong River. Some of the villages were very basic as were the people, but extremely happy . As you started to to get in land towards HCMC you could see modern life becoming more predominate until you get to the capital and its a buzzing flourishing city . Loved Vietnam and Thailand , Cambodia was a different kettle of fish .
