I need a visa... again

As a proud citizen of the most beautiful country, I also need a visa for Vietnam. Louise didn’t need a visa, probably because her country gave the world ABBA. And IKEA (btw, Ingwar Kamprad just moved on to the next world). What did mine give to the world? Anyway...
When we are about to checkin the big bags, problem again. I can’t just get a visa on arrival, it seems that I need one more paper from vietnamvisaorg.com some application request. 2h before the flight. Luckily, for idiots like me, they have an emergency service, $90 and you get it in your email in 15 mins. Yeeeeey, problem solved.
Now out of Thailand. I paid the fine for exceeding the visa time for Thailand, 500baht/day, it will not happen again, promised to myself.
Short flight with Vietnam Airlines, they have nice tradional clothes. 
We landed and headed to fill in the arrival paper. Louise said someone was yelling my name. Ok, maybe she’s tired. We filled the paper and then I heard it too. Who the **** knows me in Saigon? It turned out that I paid VIP visa services, so a woman took my passport and disappeared. Confused and not knowing what to think, I sat down and waited. In less that 5 mins the woman comes back with my visa! Nice service. 
Huge waiting lines at passport control, but they have many workers, so we’re soon out to Saigon.
