Ho Chi Minh (Part 4)

SECOND MORNING was spent touring Mekong River. This day cruise started at 8am till 5pm in the evening, we stopped at certain islands to look see, look see, I guess coming here once will be enoughfor me cos I dont like water so much, especially the sampan rowing one.. (water phobia)..... actually not so much to see in the village...perhaps it is a common sight over here in Malaysia...




the ferry that took us over to the islands..


wanna know what this is? its coconut candy fresh from the kuali..


wanna try one? I did...


the girls doing the packaging...their salary is 150usd per month, so it seems..


the candies on sale...bought 2 packets..20000dong each


this is another island, horse ride thru the village...


poor horse.. 6 of us.. hope we didnt wear him down..


Final Destination... (not the movie one, of course)

the ultimate boat ride...scary..i kept clinging to my fren's handbag strap..haha..
