For the Tam Coc Country Side | Day in a Life of a Vietnamese Farmer experience, I'm going to be in Ninh Binh in mid-Janaury. Can you please tell me more about what this experience is like at that time of year? Do you still work in the rice fields? Do you still go in the water and in waterfalls as mentioned or is that more for the summer? Thanks!
