after the disappointment by Da Nang i booked a flight to leave vietnam. i probably shouldn't have rushed that much and just stayed in HCMC for a bit again because i know that's better, but now it is what it is.
i just arrived in jakarta and the change is quite the cultural shock.
it's super difficult to just walk the city, apparently not intended by the creators. i was walking around quite long just trying to find an atm and some food and it was just annoying and took forever.
they don't have the street food culture at all here. all the so called street food i saw was disgusting junk smouldering in the sun, sold by a tiny stand immediately next to busy main roads. like centimeters away from the cars.
proper food is just inside some malls or whatever skyscraper shit with annoying security check.
again no coke zero available in the restaurant (no wonder people get fat).
hotels cost twice as much for the same standard as in da nang.
i'm drowning in likes on dating apps but most of them are chubby pancake faces with towels wrapped around.
i hope will find some love for the city in the coming days.
there are some positive sides as well though like the immigration was way faster and much more efficient than in vietnam. also finally i don't have to listen to non-stop honking traffic anymore. vietnamese are really retarded in some regards.
