Getting up at five in the morning to see the local people doing business on the Mekong. The river is huge and by the thought that this is just one arm of the hundredths of arms the river has in its delta you kind of thing an octopus is out there.
Being on the river I enjoyed the light, the breeze, the chatting away of the people. The river is beautiful this early in the morning and the river is soo dirty. Its never on the pictures or postcards but believe me the river is DIRTY. People just live and breath in this river, through everything in it, they bath here, wash there vegetables and, of course, use it as a toilet.
I saw many people who live on those boats which are sometimes really just the size of a nutshell. they live there with their whole family, dog and probably a couple of flees and other lovely little creatures.
