Day 2 - Mekong Delta Vietnam Trip

Day 2, We went to Mekong Delta, again in the more rural areas of Vietnam, (actually, everywhere in Vietnam is rural except Ho Chih Min lah)... Mekon Delta is where the Boat people live..... They really live on floating houses and they even have floating markets and villages.... too bad we didn't get to go to the floating markets due to time constraints.... Of cos, we went to Mekong via boat.....


on our way to Mekong village..... floating houses....











Even Floating lamp post!



We reached the Mekong village after a 20mins boat ride.... we visited the place where they made their famous rice paper.... they eat everything with this rice paper.... eat fish with rice paper, eat bbq lamb chops with rice paper......









This beautifully fried fish was our lunch!! it's in the package for the 1 day trip to Mekong! and guess how much it was??!! $12/pax for the whole trip!! Lunch included! omg, so damn dirt cheap!

Me on a hammock! I nearly fell off the stupid thing! clumsy me......anyway, i bought his cap for SGD$3, DIRT CHEAP can.... and my local fren told me it could be cheaper.... (!!!)



lazy bf........



us standing precariously on a plank of thin thin wood.....



We sat on a horse carriage too!!! felt sorry for the tinyhorse... it had to carry 7 ppl including the driver...... poor thing...... but the horse carriage moved surprisingly fast!!! and bumpy!! i nearly had to fish out my axe oil.... hahhaha......



us and our horse.......



bf and the snake!! u know why his face so anxious?? cos the snake was trying very hard to writhe away from him.... and he had grab hold to it tighter..... my bf was very very afraid! cos he and another fren of mine, just finished irritating the snake in its cage earlier on before the photo taking session..... IDIOTS.... both of them used branches to poke the snake and the snake stirred and got irritated..... and they didn't know we were goin to take photos with the snake later on..... hahhahaha.... both of them panicked, "how ah, what if the snake recognise our scent".....



Me and my forced smile.... i was bloody scared ok!!! scared to death!! the thing was writhing it's head towards me! and i felt something big in the stomach! and i realised it was the snake's lunch!!! OMG........ i was so scared ah.... then my bf purposely took his own damn time to take the pic... "oh sorry, cannot cannot try again".... i nearly died....



2 of our frens.... all 4 of us were on a very small sampan boat, on our way to another island...... there were 2 rowers, one infront and one behind.... and both of them were ladies.... the moment my bf got on board the small sampan, the boat rocked like mad and all of us clutched to the boat for our dear lives.... and the 2 ladies shook their heads.... hahaha cos they had to row the very heavy boat with 4 very heavy ppl for a long ride.....anyway, we gave them tips after we got off.... so they went back rowing happily....




murky water..... but not from dirt..... geography remember? it's a delta, so they are all sediments from the main sea that connects 6 countries.... cambodia, vietnam..... and i cant remember which... hahhaha....






Our very sumptuos seafood dinner tat day..... this was the first time i had so much seafood in my entire life.... there were oysters, escargots, clams, mussels, fish, big big big prawns, cheese prawns and crabs!! and i cant remember what...... our table was FULL of seafood..... gosh.... we didn't even order rice, we just stuffed ourselves full with just seafood and nothing else... looks unappetising with the leaves (in vietnam, the eat raw leaves with everything for every meals)... but it was simply delicious.... nothing in singapore can beat this ok.....im someone who dont eat oysters, mussels or clams.... even I thought it was very very nice....so must be damn nice ah....talk cock....







me and my big big prawn..... we had 1 big prawn each...... i couldn't keep track on how many prawns i ate that night.... there were at least 3 plates of prawns.... all cooked in different sauce... gosh....... heaven.....



i know this doesn't look like fish, but it's a HUGE fish with very nice decorations... hahahha.... anyway, dont have alot of pics of the table-full of seafood cos we were too busy eating and getting our hands dirty eating crabs and prawns!



finally, satisfied after the seafood sumptuous meal........yummy.....



and guess how much did we spend on soooooooooooooo much seafood? less than SGD$25 each for 6 of us!!!! do you think you can have 4 crabs, 6 big big prawns, 3 plates of small prawns, 2 plates of mussles, 2 plates of clams, 1 big big fish, 2 plates of snails.............. fucking cheap!!!! the seafood super fresh somemore!! we chose our own crabs and prawns ok, all alive and freshly caught!!... in singapore????? $150 for 6 ppl for such seafood meal?? eat da bian lah....
