Why I'll never go back to Vietnam again

Last year I was in Hanoi with my boyfriend when we had our first run in with xenophobes and scammers. Warning: this is a long re-cap of my trip and bad experiences and might seem like a rabid rant at some parts.

Before any Vietnamese readers get mad at me and start hurling insults because I didn't like my experience there, please understand that while I know that every now and then it is expected that you run into unsavory characters when travelling abroad it doesn't make the experience of being conned or insulted any less unpleasant.
