The Mekong Delta plays a significant role in the lives of the Vietnamese. The livelihood that the Mekong provides has sustained families for generations. I was glad I took the tour to explore this area at least for a day.

During my first trip to Vietnam in 2013 (Hanoi), I already had a glimpse of how chaotic life was in Vietnam; from the whirring motorbikes to the pesky market vendors. It prepared me for the chaos that ensues everyday in Ho Chi Minh City.
