Mekon Delta River trip



Took a two day/one night tour of the Mekong Delta River. I opted for the "homestay" (staying at a locals home) which was an awesome choice. The tour was so-so, kind of cool, kind of boring at the same time. When most of the people went to a guest house to sleep, 3 of us got on another boat and cruised to the locals home while the sun set. The family was super nice, spoke a bit of English. They served us food and the two little girls gave us a singing karaoke show....the highlight :) The next day we checked out a cool floating market...basically just a bunch of boats gathered in one area selling different foods etc. We also saw a bunch of other places: Coconut candy workshop, rice paper production, rice factory...and more. A pretty cool trip.

Oh no! The comments are drying up! Man, even your mom hasn't commented in like five posts, this won't do! Vietnam looks like one wacky place, that transformer pole in Ho Chi Mihn really cracked me up, Louie the lightning Bug would have a heart attack if he saw that mess.
