I had never been to a floating market before and the one I visited with a boat in Can Tho was really interesting. The women and men who tried to sell their goods, hopped from one boat to another like acrobats. This woman and her kid were still on their way to the market, but had filled their boat as much as possible with their fresh fruits. #market #MArket #floatingmarket #fruits #asianfood #vietnam
