MEKONG DELTA

Endless green...rice paddies one after another, after another, dotted with women in conical hats, and water buffalo. Traditional Vietnam. It was the image I had of Vietnam before I arrived, shades of green more beautiful than I could ever describe to you.  Although most of the rice is exported, this area alone produces enough rice to feed the entire country, with a population of over 78, 000,000 thats no small feat.

We didn't see everything in the brochure...
