Mekong Delta on Sunday
I think this lad was repairing his boat! The plant is Water Hyacinth which grows/floats in huge clumps in the river. It is planted along the river banks to prevent erosion.
The boat people of the Delta usually live on their boats.
Four of us shared this "Mekong Fish"for lunch on Sunday We also had spring rolls, rice and vegetables.
