Mekong Delta Tour Day 1

I went on a two day tour of the Mekong Delta.  It's not exactly what I wanted but the price for the two days was so cheap I couldn't not do it.  There was a lot of driving done in the two days.  Thank goodness the bus had air conditioning.


I met Robert, Katie and another girl whom I spent most of my time with.  Among the various places we visited was a honey farm, a crocodile farm and another weird religious temple.  This religion is no longer around.  They had one of the more stranger beliefs in that a man could have as many wives as he wanted but couldn't have any children.  What did they all do in their spare time?


I also learned of the importance of a motorbike to Vietnamese people.  It's sorta like this:
1.  No motorbike no girlfriend.
2.  A small/cheap bike will fetch you an ugly girl.
3.  A bigger bike will get you a more beautiful girl.
4.  Cream of the crop is a Vespa which pretty much allows you to choose any girl you want!
