Is this normal in vietnam

My flight to Hanoi was delayed so I was stuck in Saigon (happily, its my first time in Vietnam and I'm enjoying everything) except the scooter guy who I paid to drive me to a hairdressers place (I had paint in my hair, long story) who kept hiking up my dress to touch me on the leg while we were riding and one even his hand went to my crotch. I know he knew what he was doing because each time I moved his hand he said sorry. Seriously not 1 hour in Vietnam and I was being felt up/groped. To top it off he didn't even drop me off at a hairdressers place but a optometrist. I ended up walking the rest of the way.
