You can't start to imagine the life at the Delta of the Mekong if you don't take float gently down its slow, shimmering waterways. It alows you to visit markets, local factories, orchards and watch life happening on the water. Watching life happening on the water
She was nearly blind but I could tell from the look in her eyes that she had not merely taken her glasses off as a respite from the clammy sweat that can hang on them in such humid tropical climates. Afraid to tell me what had happened, I glanced down and saw her worry was well warranted. The cute monkey I had pointed out to her had mischievously snagged them as she bent over to feed it some fruit. The funny part was she had tried to fool the larger of the two caged animals by putting a banana on each side of the enclosure to ensure the smaller one of getting his just share. And that was all the preoccupation he would need to get something far more valuable to a monkey then a banana. Fruit he had plenty of, but something shiny to play with, that was priceless.

Los barcos del río tienen en su proa dos ojos muy llamativos que se suponen son para ahuyentar a los malos espíritus que pueblan el río Mekong
The boats on the river have two very stiking big eyes in the bow , that is supposed that are to frighten the bad spirits that inhabit the Mekong river
45km from Can Tho, the area of 1,300 square meters is home of 150,000 storks (11 kinds of them including fly stork, egret, heron, pelican, woodpecker, etc). The biggest bird is 1.4 kg with wingspan of 1.4 meter, the smallest one weighs only 150grams.
From the gate, visitors would walk over two bamboo bridges leading to the garden, then climb up to the stairs to a balcony where they can behold the stork. Some experienced after having seen the sea of storks covering fully the garden that as if they were in a cotton yard during a blooming season or they were watching a snow-filled expanse in Europe when snow falls.

A very popular candyin the south is the Rice Bar. It's made of poped rice mixed with shugar and vanila syrop, pressed into a block and cut into bar size. The way the rice is poped is very interesting: In a huge wok the mix the dry rice with hot sand above an open fire. The hot sand cover each and every grain of rice, and it pops like pop-corn. The rice-sand mixture is then put in a basket which filteres the sand back into the wok. The sand is black and the rice is white. a nice picture
