Chau Doc

Las piscifactorias es una de las principale fuentes de ingreso en la zona. Cogen los huevas de los peces y los crian en unas jaulas hasta que tienen 1 Kg. aprox.
Los alimentan con una pasta que tiene un olor muy fuerte ya que tiene una base de pescado
Cuando visitas la piscifactoria puedes ver los altares que tienen y como alimentan a los peces , que deben tener mucha hambre ya que salen desesperados a comer

THe fish farmsare one of the main incomes of the area .
They get the fish eggs and they breed themon cages up to they get 1 Kg aprox.
They are fed with a paste that smells very strong because it has a fish base
When you visit the farm you may see the altars they have and how they feed the fishes ,that must be very hungry becausethey come out as crazy to eat

Stopover between Vietnam and Cambodia

Favorite thing: We stayed overnight before catching a boat to Cambodia. For some undefinable reason we really liked Chau Doc. Our tour guide had arranged for us to ride up the mountain where you get great sunset views over the borders between the countries (views were amazing but the ride was hair raising!!) We liked just wandering around the town. Food was really cheap - we were trying to get rid of the rest of our Vietnamese Dong and literally couldn't!

Fondest memory: Sunset
