VietNamNet Bridge – As the south has entered the dry season, Saigon has seen scorching heat for days, causing uncomfortable feeling for local people. While people in the city downtown endure the hot and sultry atmosphere, people in the outlying districts such as Hoc Mon and Can Gio have to face the lack of clean water, and those who have to go out around noon have to cover themselves up with coat and mask, and hide themselves in coolest places.
