Putt, putt, zoom, zoom, moo. Our methods of transportation have been varied and delightful. From investigating Kampong Tralach via the local tuk tuk, a hybridized motorcycle with benches, to a trailer like contraption that could easily double for hauling hay to the ox carts hauled by cattle that have the appearance of lop-eared rabbits on steroids. We immersed ourselves in the countryside, and local artisans displayed their skills.

Chau Doc, Vietnam
During our visit to Chau Doc, a charming town in southern Vietnam, we were captivated by its vibrant culture and scenic beauty. Our first stop was a colorful house / fish farm, where local fishermen raise tilapia. The fishermen shared insights into how they cultivate tilapia, making for an informative and eye-opening experience. Next, we explored Chau Doc’s bustling market, a lively and aromatic place where fresh produce, seafood, and local delicacies are sold. The market was an experience in sensory overload with bright colors, exotic fruits, fish, meats, and vegetables everywhere. It was fascinating to see the local vendors interact, showcasing the town’s thriving community spirit. Chau Doc itself, nestled near the Cambodian border in An Giang Province, is a town rich in culture and history. Surrounded by lush landscapes, our visit left us with lasting memories of the warmth of the people and the vibrancy of the local culture.
