Floating Market at Can Tho

All the heavy boat traffic went by the market leaving the market bobbing around a bit more, but still floating.


This is the pop dispenser boat...
The laundry boat - or at least laundry day on the boat
I know you can't tell from the picture, but these guys were tossing watermelons from the mother ship into the rowboat two at a time at a pretty rapid pace. Fun to watch, but I didn't see any get smashed ... or even fall in the river.
A lot of the boats had these bamboo poles with samples of the produce they were selling tied up on them. Good advertising - assuming that pumpkin doesn't fall off and clock somebody!

The tourist boats were prime targets for all kinds of sellers.

Boats - the only thing they weren't selling off of a boat.
