In
India, festivals are a dizzy mix
of tradition, religion, and
mythology, with their origins
usually hazy and tracing back to
times when the gods apparently
walked the Earth.
The Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Festival 2008, to run from April 18-20, will promote the city’s image as a tourist destination with travel agencies showcasing their upcoming tour packages and deals.
Rather than catch a five- or six-hour bus ride to the city of
Can Tho in the heart of the Mekong Delta, there is a boat that
leaves from the Ho Chi Minh City river terminal on Ton Duc Thang
Avenue.
