We took a daytrip from Saigon to the Mekong Delta, the region is hailed as the Rice Bowl of the country. We had romantic visions of blankets of green paddy fields tended by Vietnamese ladies in conical hat all living a slower pace of life. However, truth be told we were not hugely impressed. Another boat trip, more floating markets, terrible lunch including a cringe worthy traditional folk performance coupled with a tour guide speaking indecipherable "English". It did rain too so that didn't help.
Life on the Mekong Delta
We went to a small family workshop where they made coconut candies, rice cakes & rice paper. The picture to the left shows the steaming of the rice paper..
