One attractive-Viet Nam--meet the Mekong

If the first two days in the joy of feeling is Sai Kung, a day in the life of the Mekong is unforgettable.

Punctually at 7: 30 arrive at Peta travel agency, car hasn't arrived, I noticed that with me, there are several car speaks Cantonese and English wife, and a sister to the United States, students also didn't dare to visit youban what expectations.

Hear the staff called the bus, I'll drill aboard, miso miso wants to find a first row seat to sit down. EH? first row window position has sat an old, it is also a potential human, I will sit on his side. He immediately offered to greet someone asked if I was a tourist, I smiled and nodded, and his greeting. His family settled in Viet Nam, United States, a person who travels frequently, and that kind of beforehand not to plan, to a local then decided to go for traveling. Chatting chatting only to find the original in his youth he was a captain, no wonder, in his own words, tourism is integrated into the bloodstream, indispensable. Hehe, sort of legendary man, this line should not be too boring, but soon since last night, sleeping badly, I will soon make up the NAP.

Hear him in the mist and the Guide talked with Viet Nam words.

Says the Guide, is a very young big men, a child's face is not off, speaks always laughing little bad English, but can understand. He took a little book, and the captain chatted chatted to ask a few words of English, smoothly on a note of it. I encouraged him something, he is very happy, clear eyes shone like a child.

Car one and a half hours to us, you want to change the water; we row 8 people headed for the legend of the Mekong River.

Red and Yellow River flowing down seems to be infinite vitality, on both sides of the thick tropical vegetation green like drops of water, wearing their woman watching the boat, and the like in the movies.

Unknowingly to the lunch time, we are placed in the river landscape of the dining table.

Here introduce the row of 8 people, three people, a 30-year-old Hong Kong plus a couple of more than 40 people, one people, 2 girl, Captain, United States. Captain imperceptibly into the center of the whole table, several Hong Kong and Macao compatriots had heard he was captain of the ship, are asked what his favorite cities Ah, topic, and don't know how to talk to her age, Macau men beat his round belly said: "I used to drink too much wine, 51 years old, can't drink," and then call the captain also asked her age, the Hong Kong people guess about the age of 65, he said: "Oh, Yes, 12 years ago," full table laughed and marvel at the incredible sound of Macau people have not, the captain said as we come to Champs? people straight waving, Hei Hei, I was stealing smile, losing to the elderly is very embarrassing. Before mentioned on United States girls have been very small's own buzz with some girls little gossip between, to be honest, I don't like them, watch the master is not very gregarious, active and they talk a fortune, and the two girls cannot help eyes beaming, even to Hong Kong and Macao compatriots have begun talking about his nose long nose and short lore, a large desk and his cheerful, I have to admire Captain care to each person's intentions.

After dinner, we lay in the hammock, squint smell and birdsongs, good is not pleasant.

Guided tours all the way and the captain about special speculation, I see little tour cap of sitting in front of the hammock, Captain serious listening to him, much like the students listen to the instructor carefully. After that, I listen to the guide told me that at that time, the captain and his chat Buddhism truth: bring others to be happy and just as important as your own happiness. Although the Guide now works is not very satisfactory, but as long as the intention to bring happiness to others, will have unexpected results. So I understand that the captain had been trying to bring others to be happy, and indeed he did. I was a bit touched, moved to meet the old a few this innocence and joy. (To be continued)
