Mekong


Before going to Phu Quoc we spent a few days by and on the Mekong. At times quite touristy (we even took a pre-organized boat trip! was unusual for us, but ended up being quite nice - we gotta work on our aversion for tourist-things, it's too much black and white thinking. However, when we see groups of 40+ people walking in line towards a site from their bus it does make us flip a little, imagining how limited their experience of these countries might be - e.g. we met people who do all of Vietnam in 10 days, flying from here to there, never sitting down and sharing with the locals; anyway it's not up to us to judge..... just glad we're not in one of those buses ourselves!)
