Do NOT buy your flight ticket before we have confirmed that the minimum required number of students have been enrolled and paid the deposit. This will happen shortly after 10 March.
It is your own responsibility to get to Ho Chi Minh City. This gives you the opportunity to extend your stay in Vietnam or neighboring countries.
