Mekong Delta

---

Spent a few days exploring the Mekong Delta region at the very south of Vietnam.

Lots of waterways. Most people survive off the water. Visited a floating market and saw a staged cock fight and had the most interesting meal. I had frog, snake, eal and sewer rat while this fish was staring at me. Then drank snake wine made with cobra and scorpions soaking in rice wine (tastes just like you would expect a raw dead snake to taste), not soo good. Love the fresh pinapple though.

Central Vietnam should be next.
