Mekong Travel, Mekong Delta Travel, Vietnam Mekong Travel

The people of south Vietnam are often very proud of the richness and vastness of this land. When referring to the rice fields in this area, they often say, “co bay thang canh”, meaning the land is so large that the cranes can stretch their wings as they fly. Today, the region is one of Vietnam’s highest producer of rice crops, vegetables and fruits.

Life On The Mekong

The Mekong Delta was an ancient Khmer territory. The area was mostly marshland and forest. When the Nguyen Lords took control of this region, a series of canals were built and a system of transportation was implemented in the maze of water ways in the area.
The Mekong Delta is divided into 9 provinces: Long An, Tien Giang, Ben Tre, Dong Thap, An Giang, Vinh Long, Kien Giang, Hau Giang and Minh Hai. The people in this region are made up of Vietnamese and some people of Khmer, Chinese and Cham origin. This accounts for the variety of religions that add to the cultural diversity of this area. Among the religions practiced here are: Buddhism, Catholicism, Cao Dai ( Cao Dai temple – Cu Chi tunnel tour ), Hoa Hao and Islam.
The southwest region of Vietnam is known for the vast rice fields and the huge plantations that make up the core of this region’s economy. The region is also known for the many miles of waterways criss-crossing the land making this area both fertile and unique.

Fruit Orchards

The majority of Vietnam’s fruits come from the many orchards of the Mekong Delta. On any given season, one can find a variety of tropical fruits that are produced by farmers of this region in the markets of Saigon, Hue, and Ha Noi.
For many tropical fruits, the season is very short because they cannot be picked green and they don’t last long in storage where they quickly loose their aroma. The greatest variety of fruits is available during the raining season, from June to September in the South.
After they are picked, the fruits are transported on small boats to floating markets where they are sold to wholesale dealers. In the off-season, many orchards become flower nurseries to meet the peak demand for flowers during the new year celebration in the big cities.
The orchards are divided by a myriad of small irrigation canals with delicate bamboo bridges called “Cau Khi” or monkey bridges crossing them.

Life On The River

The people living in the Mekong Delta make their living as farmers and fishermen. Often, they live right on the edge of the rivers or canals on various structures built from whatever materials found. Consequently, the architecture along the delta varies from place to place.
Often, many homes have fisheries right under them. Enterprising individuals build a cage like structure of bamboo beneath their homes on these waterways to house fishes. As the fishes grew, they sell the whole batch to processors from the city and start with new ones.
Life in the delta is tightly woven with its rivers as daily activities and businesses are conducted on its banks. Markets, stores, ship yards, repair shops are some of the more popular trades.

Floating Markets

Floating markets are held every morning from 5:00 to about 11:00. Phung Hiep market is the biggest since it is located at the intersection of 7 major canals. It is also a photographer’s delight because it can be seen above from a bridge. Cai Rang and Phong Dien are two other notable floating markets in the delta.
Boats loaded with produce from nearby orchards of the Mekong Delta converge to the floating market. They carry mostly fruits but also coconuts, vegetables and fishes.
Buyers are local traders with bigger boats snapping everything by the bushels and resell at local markets or to wholesale dealers from big cities, often for a handsome profit.
Large floating markets are not complete without its floating restaurants, floating gas stations and an occasional tour boat filled with tourists.

Snake Industry

Another unique industry in this region is the snake farm in the area of My Tho township. In 1977, Lt. Colonel Tran Van Duoc (Tu Duoc), a reptile enthusiast, created Dong Nam Snake Farm. Initially created strictly as a research site for medicinal uses of reptile venom, Dong Nam Snake Farm today is the largest of its kind in Vietnam. The farm boasts 20 different varieties of venomous snakes and is home to other species such as boas, turtles.
Cobras are often soaked along with herbs in large flasks of whisky which can be bought in the snake market in Phung Hiep. This potent drink reportedly will increase your libido as well as cure all sorts of illnesses. Live snakes are also for sale in the market and are exported to other Asian countries to be used as food and medicine.

In a typical snake full-course meal, the gallbladder is extracted from the freshly-killed snake and together with some blood and whisky a drink is made. The snake is then chopped off and cooked in various ways. Most tourists opt for a curry stir-fried snake dish just for the thrill of it. General comments are “too much bone and no taste!”. More adventurous travelers have reported severe stomach cramps after swallowing down the snake drink.

Question by Persephone: How much does it cost to travel on the Ohio Turnpike?
For clarification, I am NOT asking how much it costs to travel the entire length. Please do not tell me it costs $ 10.25, because that is NOT the answer I am looking for.

I am planning to travel a ~45 mile section of the Ohio Turnpike tomorrow (my exit is 110, so I’m guessing I get on around exit 64-65). Any idea how much it would cost to travel this section of the Turnpike? I just want to make sure I have the right amount of cash/change on me. Thanks!

Answer by opal1331
Best idea is to look it up on their web site, or just figure about $ .05 per mile. That will be close.

What To Avoid When Searching For A Travel Job

Everything in life comes down to opportunities. The opportunities we grab and take advantage of make us happy and the opportunities we miss can sometimes make us regretful. But there is one thing we often fail to remember. We need to remember that although some opportunities come by chance, others are brought about by your own hard work and good timing.

When it comes to searching for a job, you need to take a proactive route. Being proactive means being aware of the pitfalls to avoid and planning ahead. What you want to do is create opportunities. This way of thinking will put you way ahead of the rest.

By reading this article, you are taking a proactive approach because you are seeking more information, and that is great. Knowledge is power and it is always foolish to do something hastily without understanding first. Hopefully these tips will help you with your travel job search and I’ll share to you the things to avoid in your quest.

Avoid generalizing. Be more specific with your career goals.

Introspection is very important. Set definite goals for yourself based on your inclinations and preferences. You should understand that not all jobs are right for you. Some jobs may not coincide with your skill set and other careers may not agree with your values and personality.

Desperation will often derail even the best planner so even if you are desperate, try to avoid applying for jobs you know you won’t be happy to do in the long run. Stick to a plan and make it work with hard work and perseverance. Once you a land a job, it will be something you will enjoy doing.

Avoid job search scams by being vigilant.

Unemployment and financial problems are on the rise. Malicious individuals have taken advantage of people’s desperation to find a job. Job search scams are everywhere, especially online.

Travel jobs are highly sought after these days and it is no surprise that there are people out there trying to take advantage of innocent people. To avoid their evil tricks, you must be watchful and think before taking action.

Scammers can be very deceptive. They are experts in convincing job seekers to part with their money. They may request upfront payments for some legitimate-sounding reason. Keep in mind, companies that request upfront payments are probably illegitimate. Check a company out with the Better Business Bureau or do a thorough online research before randomly sending money to a company that promises a job in return.

Some modus operandi may request a credit card number or sensitive personal information. Never give out these things without verifying the legitimacy of such companies. They may justify their requests convincingly but a reputable company should be able to help you without asking for payments or sensitive information upfront.

In conclusion, finding a travel job can be very challenging but do not let your desperation cloud your judgment and practical reasoning. Always be wary and proactive.

Question by Cobaya: Will a time travel theme hurt the chances of a novel being published?
I want to write a young adult science fiction novel, and I have an idea about time travel. It’s somewhat different than how time travel is usually depicted in fiction. In fact, it’s almost satiric of the idea. But I’m wondering if time travel is too cliche now to market? Will an editor take one look at the story, say, “not another one about time travel …” and toss it in the rejected bin? Should I just come up with another idea, or is a time travel-themed book still marketable?

Best answer:

Answer by leokc34
go for it… i am sure a new concept of time travel would be great.
