Our attractions were a bit different. Firstly we went to hold a snake and try to sneak out some honey from beehive, then taste a bit of fruits in honey and tea with honey and finally spirit with honey hahahaa yes a bit sweet all of it ;)<br />We tasted fruit while listening to traditional music and songs. Really different from what I heard before. The paddling through narrow canals was fantastic! And then we got to a place where they manufacture coconut toffies yummy To warn everyone they are more expensive at the source than in a shop and less eager to bargain.<br />In the prie of the trip we got lunch(tiny bit of meat, little veg and some rice) but of course you could buy an astonishing fish served on a wooden sticks constuction. It looked as if it was still swimming in the water. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but they call then rainbow fish or someting like that.<br /><br />And if I can recommend a dining place in Saigon, go to Kim's on De Tham. I don't think we had such a good food anywhere else in Vietnam. I'm usually after local cuisine but you can get there also western food (not sure about quality though).Joannanoreply@blogger.com
