Upon arrival in Cai Be board a sampan for a cruise on the Mekong River and its multiples canals to Vinh ...

After a 3 hour transfer to Cai Be we arrived at our boat in the Mekong delta which would be taking us to Cambodia. We were greeted by our guide 'Lan' and given a guided tour of our private boat - which aside from Japamala is the probably the nicest place we have stayed!!<br><br>Our first stop along the river was a candy factory where we bought some sustenance as we weren't going to be eating for another few hours. The boat made its way gracefully down the Mekong while we sat ...

A quelques heures du depart de notre avion de retour vers la France, je me dis que vraiment ce petit pays n'aura pas cesse de nous etonner durant ces 3 semaines.<br>Les vietnamiens nous ont juste epates sur beaucoup de choses et ca donne tres envie de mieux les connaitre, mieux les comprendre, pour mieux les apprecier.<br>Alors forcement je me dis que se transformer en petite vietnamienne pour quelques mois serait bien ...

... in the midst of utter poverty and industry...<br><br>We pulled up late morning to another little town to walk amidst a daytime outdoor market. Stopped at a stall where a woman was grating coconut flesh, and Lan bought a little bag full. We sampled it&#8212;quite good. Bill surprised me with a large bouquet of tiny yellow chrysanthemums which he'd purchased from another vendor. Said they only cost 40 cents. Later on the boat he separated each stem and inserted them rather ...

... transportation/consumption.<br><br>Note that the discarded rice hulls are used as fuel for the fires, and the resultant ashes are given to rice farmers for fertilizer. Again, nothing wasted. <br>Lan guided us to a small table and chairs where we sat and sampled double helpings of candied ginger, candied coconut, coconut toffee, tamarind candy, puffed rice candy, dried bananas, and banana candy, all served with unending cups of jasmine tea. We ended the tour by buying ...

If they are Buddhist they will have a piece of paper with a tiger, 3 fruits, and leaves attached to their doorway along with Chinese writing on it. This goes up on the door annually to protect and unite the family. </li><br><br><li>People in the Mekong Delta and other poor areas in Vietnam sleep on bamboo mats instead of mattresses. How that is comfortable, I have no idea. </li></ol>Day 2 was ...

lifting a rucksack when your back has been flame grilled the day before, is inadvisable. the pain was added to by the intense heat and hangover. Arrive Chau Doc after crossing the border into vietnam. language, appearance and culture change quite dramatically. millions of people live in the mekong delta. its so busy everywhere. had a nap as hungover ...

Ok, so this was probably the most authentic and genuine experience I've ever had in SE Asia. I booked a private tour from Saigon to a remote area deep within the Mekong Delta, near Tra Vihn. I had a personal guide, an amazing young guy named Hoang. For nearly 48 hours I had no contact with any other Westerner. It was incredible. There was no English, really, other than with Hoang - but it didn't matter.<br><br>Because this area is off the beaten path, the locals are ...

28.6.09<br>Eigentlich wollten wir von Chau Doc nach Vinh Long mit dem Boot fahren, doch leider war dies nicht moeglich (ausser mit dem Victoria Hotel Speedboat fuer 100$). So haben wir uns auf einen Vietnamesen verlassen, der uns den einheimischen Weg erklaert hat :-) In Chau Doc haben wir einen Bus nach Can Tho genommen und uns dort vom free Shuttle Bus zur Faehre bringen lassen. Die Faehre ueber den Mekong hat uns ca. 2 ...

With 3 days left I decided to spend 2 of them in the Mekong delta.<br>I rented a motorbike and experienced crazy driving in Saigon!<br>Actually not so crazy because everybody drive kind of slow but you're just surrounded by motorbikes! The interesting part is to find directions to get out of the city. <br>I found my way to Vinh Long, 3.5h from Saigon and made it to Hoa Ninh island between the ...
