<strong>TRAVELLIVE</strong><br />
From Sai Gon, we<br />
traveled about 85<br />
kilometers and took<br />
a one-day tour to My<br />
Tho - Ben Tre, a green<br />
area featuring coconut<br />
trees, fruit gardens, rivers and<br />
canals. As city dwellers unfamiliar<br />
with life on the water, we loved<br />
spending a day on a boat. Oc was<br />
delighted to see beehives, eat local<br />
food and watch pythons and fish<br />
fed by bottles. We were all tired<br />
after the busy day.<br />
We arrived at Can Tho at<br />
nightfall.<br />
We had never been to Can Tho,<br />
so we all were excited. We took<br />
a taxi to our homestay, which<br />
was as spacious as a resort. The<br />
next morning we were awoken by<br />
singing and laughing. The local<br />
people were having a basket race<br />
and singing happily outside. They<br />
were very open and friendly. The<br />
local food was also unique and<br />
specific to the area.<br />
Over the next days we took Oc to<br />
visit fruit gardens so she could eat<br />
fruit to her heart's content. This<br />
was our first time seeing durian<br />
trees with our own eyes. Another<br />
day we went to the Cai Rang<br />
floating market to have breakfast<br />
and drink coffee on a boat, and to<br />
buy fresh fruit right off the boats.<br />
We left Can Tho for Nam<br />
Can, the southernmost point<br />
of the country.<br />
Nam Can was very different from<br />
Hanoi. There was nothing here<br />
except for canals, fish, and boats,<br />
and no sound except the sound of<br />
frogs and birds singing.<br />
On our second day in Nam Can,<br />
we went to the Ca Mau cape.<br />
It was a blazing hot day, but<br />
this would not prevent us from<br />
exploring the furthest reaches<br />
of our country. The Ca Mau<br />
Headland is the only place in<br />
mainland Vietnam where you<br />
can watch the sun rise over the<br />
Eastern Sea and set over the<br />
Western Sea. Every Vietnamese<br />
person should try to visit Ca Mau<br />
at least once in their life because<br />
of its symbolic meaning and<br />
staggering beauty. Additionally,<br />
if Ca Mau takes advantage of its<br />
tourism potentials, it will be able<br />
to draw in more tourists.<br />
We took Oc to Tu Mau Stork<br />
Sanctuary, where she watched
