Ho Chi Minh City: Similar to the previous weekend, Ho Chi Minh City will experience cloudy and rainy 3 weekend days, the temperature will be around 23-31 degree Celsius.

Tourists are advised to do what Vietnamese do - “Nothing stops for rain” (though road conditions are still pretty poor in some places and travelling on motorbike is extremely dangerous in wet conditions) and look on the bright side of this weather: you need not to worry about the heat!

Blog review

Discussing the topic of responsible travel in Vietnam, this week’s blog entry states a fact that there are not many Vietnamese tourism companies ask their guests for this kind of responsibility.

“Responsible travel” is a new concept in Vietnam but a long-lasting one in many developed nations, and according to the blog entry this advanced tourism form is difficult to be widely applied in Viet Nam because of 3 main reasons: the cost, the adaptability of tourists and physical endurance.
