Chaos in Vietnam

I arrived at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh city at around 6am. It was the first time visiting there. The air was similar to Singapore air, so it reminded me of the life there. I took a taxi through Grab then visited a hotel which I reserved. I had to wait until the allowed check in time. I walked around but the area around the hotel was dirty and noisy so I took a taxi to go to an ATM. I was able to get cash, Vietnamese dong. I did daily things at a cafe and I visited a small restaurant. I had Pho and two canned beers. It consisted of a lot of herbs. I had to kill the time so I visited a head spa. It was very cheap, about 1000 yen or so. I checked into the hotel at 2pm then rested for a while. In the evening, I went out. I had Japanese food but it was not tasty. I stopped by a super market and visited a bar which was located in front of a big road, so it was very noisy. There was numerous bikers. The situation is crazy. I fell asleep around 9pm. It seemed I was completely exhausted so I had a good sleep.
