I booked a 24-seat bus to Ho Chi Minh City online, but when I arrived at the bus terminal, I was told that the bus service had been cancelled. The staff didn't explain why or refund the fare difference; they just told me to take another 36-seat bus instead. This bus had extremely cramped and uncomfortable seats. It was a terrible experience. I will never take it again.

Soooo, as we arrived at the Hahn store (half an hour earlier as requested) we needed to wait a quarter hour for the bus to arrive. The bus driver was really funny and friendly. This bus brought us to the sleeping bus whose driver was the worst. I was confused by his handsigns and vietnamnese language (he didn‘t speak englisch and i didn‘t vietnamnese) for so long that he shout at me to go on into the bus. The bus is way less comfortable as expected: The „cabins“ are litually as big as me (183 cm tall and normal width) so I was pretty lucky. If you are any taller that would be not really comfortable. The charging station wasn‘t working. The second bag needs to be really small to fit in the space in front of your feet ( there is an extra space for that) One break for peeing or shopping idk and idc i woke up for a second and decided not having to pee but to sleep. And every 20 minutes there is a big break so that you think there will be part od an accident. All in all… actually really uncomfortable situations we were in but it got the job done.
