Vietnam
Hundreds of small boats overflowing with fresh fruit and veg bobbing and weaving in the murky Mekong waters, outboard motors revving or old women under conical hats standing paddling for customers. Bigger boats with the whole family living on the stern, children playing, washing drying, cooking a meal. Boats of pineapples, cabbages, potatoes, melons. An energetic market and a community gathering. Usefully the boats advertise their wares by tying a few veg to a tall bamboo mast.
