Upscale Vinpearl Hotel's bar, where a can of Tiger Beer is $3. The young man here has three years of college, and I talked to another bartender/waiter who had a bachelor's in tourism, plus English lessons from the third grade on.

I chatted briefly with a lady from British Columbia who wasn't terribly friendly, and I suspect it's because she wasn't enjoying her Vietnam trip too much. She did say she wasn't a fan of large cities. Nearly all of Vietnam is insanely congested.
