Mekong Delta Biketrip, Day One: Tet flowers in Saigon
by mikka
You will now have nightmares for the rest of the Year of the Buffalo.
We started the bike trip in a weirdly subdued Saigon, a few days before the official start of Tet; we didn't do much and actually lost a day, because Iain was sick and I like any excuse to lie in bed all day watching bad horror movies, but there was a huge flower market right next to the backpacker district, selling an apparently endless array of yellow and pink flowers, fruit plants and gigantic buffalos made from what look to be lemons or some weird alien flower bulbs.
Why is dragon fruit from mars? that would explain why its my favorite, i guess. your pics are awesome, and I can't wait for you to come home!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to see this! I've always wondered how the dragon fruit grew...though admittedly this is weirder looking than even I imagined.
