I was disgusted with this policy. I wasn't disgusted with the businesses which used the legal system to lower costs, but with the Communist Part of Vietnam for allowing its people to be exploited by foreign capitalists. It was the very definition of hypocrisy. I was also disgusted with Americans who supported communist ideals back home while simultaneously decrying President Trump's tariff policy.

Border controls like this one are a fact of life for long-term travellers like me. As Americans, we have an idealised view of what international travel looks like as we take our annual two-week vacation to popular tourism destinations. We are often waived through without serious inspection, our tourism dollars more valuable than customs regulations. I wasn't visiting tourism hotspots; I was visiting countries both on and off the beaten path.
