Like, a chill place where there aren't some reactionaries or Nazis hooting and hollering while they crank up the hell world dial? Some place where people don't have to think about or talk about American shit all the time? The spectacle and buzz of American society is just draining my soul.

I was hoping for a serene experience there until I got there. The transportation system is that everyone has a scooter, the scooters fill up the streets and everyone constantly honks at everyone else to get where they're going without colliding. I guess it's not the particular stress that OP wants to avoid but it's quite a shock. I stayed the full 30 days I was allowed, mostly to see the Reunification Day celebrations in HCMC, but I was very relieved to leave.

Shanghai was similar in my first visit but not my second, so I hope Vietnam can get a handle on it at some point, but I'm not holding my breath.
