The Mekong Delta is Life - Can Tho, Vietnam

This week on Exploring Vietnam, I explore the largest city in the Mekong Delta, Can Tho. Via bicycle, boat, and foot I check out the various life that makes Can Tho the amazing vibrant place that it is. In the countryside, I see rice paddy fields and fruit trees. In Tân An market, I identify some of the areas favorite fish. And a boat trip to the floating market Cai Rang has my head spinning at the beautiful ballet of chaos.

    I have to admire some of these Westerns travel to unfamiliar land, explored the life much less comfortable, simple, far from modern life. When I was in early twenties, as Saigonese traveled to rural southern Vietnam able to see how the life was carry with not much at all. Daily meals "shopping" was picking up some crabs, fish, shrimp on the the side of river bank or body of water, vegetables from the back yard. That how I remembered in the very early 80's, yeah and the monkey bridge too.

    I wouldn't eat any of the desserts with ice. They use the water from the river and don't filter it prior to storing it in the freezer. To any tourists who aren't in the know, would probably be best to avoid iced bag drinks or cup desserts to prevent food poisoning.
