$12 overnight sleeper bus in Vietnam

He boards a $12 Vietnam sleeper bus for a roughly seven-hour overnight journey, struggling to locate his berth amid C5/B confusion. The berth feels cramped and initially uncomfortable, though his legs fit; he worries about bag storage and another passenger sitting beside him. Amenities include water, tissues, and an entertainment screen offering YouTube and Chrome, but the system appears nonfunctional; a toilet stop prompts departure anxiety.

Travel novelty is tempered by discomfort, uncertainty, and practical anxieties about navigating unfamiliar transport.
