Postcards from Ho Chi Minh City
by joostay
With real-feel temperatures of over 40 degrees in Tokyo this summer, it sometimes felt like we were prisoners in our own house – looking out the window at the beautiful sunshine, yet acknowledging that it really wasn’t feasible to walk about in it all day in case of heatstroke.
