Crime in Vinh Long, Vietnam

I've been in Vinh long. Little over 2 months I haven't had no issues with any type of crime. So far 90% of the people I encounter are very friendly. 10% have that look like they don't care either way. Can't expect everybody to like you or be happy to see you. I'm an average person I don't dress fancy I don't stick out in the crowd except for the color of my skin and the shape of my nose. I don't flash large amounts of cash or dong. One time I took a walk from the city to the countryside probably about 25 km. About 3 km into my walk a gentleman probably mid 50s early 60s offered me a ride on his motorcycle. I accepted he gave me an extra helmet to wear and you took me to my final destination. I gave him about $20 which is about $500,000 dong for gas because nothing's free. He went about his way I went about my way. If you're a male white to get a lot of attention by some of the middle-aged to older women. Use caution. I've seen law enforcement I have not had any encounter with law enforcement. But from my information I gathered. The legal system is very strict where I'm at. Whether it's minor violations where they find you heavily for the infraction. Homicide your executed acceptable homicide you are incarcerated rape job molestation you are executed. But on all very friendly people. People keep their things locked up at night. Because from the information I got when it's dark out there are people that come looking for opportunities to boost their income. Violence is not tolerated in anyway shape or form. If it's just two people that's having a little disagreement and there's no damage to either of them they turn to walk away there's no report. But if there's damage to somebody you can be sued for medical cost and possibly putting to confinement. Confinement is not comfortable very little food and you must work during your waking hours. If you do not work your fellow prisoners will beat you in the evening when you're sent back to your cell because you did not do your share of work. But as long as you don't act like a jackass you'll be okay. If you look for trouble well you'll probably find it.
