Before, I saw posts from others saying that Manila Airport could be troublesome, asking for tips and such. Today, I went to Vietnam and everything went smoothly. I didn't encounter any of the problems mentioned by my group members. I've been in the Philippines for almost five years now, from the initial excitement to later silence, experiencing a lot. The Philippines isn't great, but I still like to call it a paradise for adventurers. Some people meet their demise here, while others thrive. With caution, I decided to return to China by land and chose Vietnam. I got an e-visa through an agency, bought plane tickets, and booked a hotel. At the T1 airport entrance, I showed the staff my ticket itinerary and electronic boarding pass, and smoothly passed the first checkpoint. Inside the airport, I checked the display screens for flight information and went to the Vietnam Airlines counter to check in my luggage. There was a hiccup when the flight attendant asked for my return ticket. I explained I was returning to China by bus from Vietnam, not by plane. I had no choice but to use a WeChat mini-program to find a bus company specializing in routes to Vietnam and bought a ticket from Hanoi to Nanning, which I showed to the flight attendant, and finally managed to check in my luggage and get my boarding pass. This was the second, more challenging checkpoint. Next was the security check, the third checkpoint. I passed relatively smoothly, but the Vietnamese woman ahead of me got stuck because this checkpoint involved ECC clearance. After clearing, it was the security check. The Vietnamese lady was stopped by the visa officer for not having the ECC paper, so she had to go and sort it out. I had already arranged it through my company's visa department, so I passed smoothly. After these three checkpoints, there were duty-free shops, Starbucks, and various other stores. Moving forward, I reached the boarding gate waiting area, where I am now, writing all this. By the way, there's a currency exchange at the duty-free area; I exchanged all my 10,000 PHP into RMB. The remaining 1,500 PHP, I exchanged for 500,000 Vietnamese Dong, which is about 144 RMB. I thought it's better to exchange it here rather than deal with it later. Lastly, I want to say that making money abroad is not easy. Sometimes, not only is life difficult, but psychological issues often arise, and it's hard when there's no one to talk to. I won't comment on gambling, scams, or even kidnappings. Where there are people, there are societies, and when you choose to step into this world, you must face its complexities. Some are insignificant, some are heroes, and many are just passersby. To my friends abroad, I wish you all safety... Update: I've successfully entered Vietnam and am now on my way to the Hanoi bus station to head back to China.
