Tiền Giang trip


  Sometime in November, I had chance to visit Tiền Giang area with a young couple and their lovely new born daughter.


Well, actually it was Mỹ Tho area. Or somewhere nearby it. But since I've been informed that we are going to Tiền Giang, let's just make it Tiền Giang.


The distance are around 80 km, took us 3 and half hours to arrive. Although the road condition was very difficult and I was really worried about the new born baby held by her young mother's arm while the father  tried to balancing the motorcycle on the semi-constructed road. Still, everyone survived, safely but not soundly.



We arrived into a surprisingly primitive village with whole bunch of people that having lunch from 10 am to 2 pm. The relatives of the young mother were very hospitality and chatty, and I was amazed by my self that I can totally understand~~~~ (okay okay, 40 percent while other 60 were pure guess)




After the lunch, or say after the first round, I walked around the yard(s). In the south west, it seems loads river and land compounding each other. With this type of geographical condition come along with the tropical climate, no doubt that the south west is the 'corp warehouse' of the 'Nam.




I've been forced to took a nap, drank a coconut juice, ate the kernel, proposed to a very young lady as my 'Vợ', made reunion promises, and consumed a reasonably large number of green bananas before I leave. Oh, and a handful of green bananas to take away.  Honestly, I was pretty happy about it. Only my stomach disagree with it, but that's the another story.



Oh, there's one more thing. I had my 'river cross' experience~~ with my motorcycle. That was something new for me.
