After several days wondering around the streets of HCMC, we arrived to Can Tho, the capital of the area of the Mekong river. Can Tho is a relatively big city (100,000 inhabitants) famous for the floating markets that can be visited from here….
And that is what we did. On Saturday, at 6 in the morning, before the sunrise, we got into a little boat that took as to visit the most famous floating market and, apparently, the largest in the world. The markets are a web or boats of different sizes, with all types of fruits, vegetables, flowers, salt, etc that are exchanged from one to the other and are carried later to the different areas of the Mekong for its distributions.
The Mekong is a river that gives life to the region. In the Mekong they work, trade, clean the food, clean the bodies, brush their teeth, clean the plates, take water for cooking, play, pee, shit….
