Connections
Responsible Tourism Vietnam
Our company, Connections Vietnam, has been included in the newly released “The Guide to Responsible Tourism in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam”.
I began the process with Bernie Rosenbloom, one of the writers, some time ago. It was with pleasure that I recieved the published copy of the guide just last week. Connections can be found on page 119, one of only two companies specially dedicated to activities in Ho Chi Minh City (the other being Sozo Cafe on Bui Vien Street).
Some extracts from the book :
The experience: For travellers to Ho Chi Minh City who are seeking to get deeper under the city’s skin, Connections Vietnam offers four cultural tourism services that present a closer look. Each involves local people, especially students who are looking to practice their English skills. It also brings locals in closer contact with foreign visitors.
How it helps: Connections Vietnam’s four cultural tourism options provide foreign visitors and locals the opportunity to interact to create a better cultural understanding between the host and the tourist. Ho Chi Minh City students benefit by having the chance to practice their language skills and earn money from part time work.

Hey Jon;
I picked up where you left off at AIS but was not signed on for the fall semester. Had too much fun I guess. The admin there and other teacher were absolutely clueless about web 2.o. Too bad for them. Kids were cool.
Hi David.
I am aware of some of the goings on at AIS. One thing is for sure, the kids are absolutely great. I suppose web 2.0 in education is still a very new concept and so teachers need training and guidance if they are going to use it successfully in the classroom.
