Actually, he was a big piggy...!
Here in Vietnam there are sooooo many more motorbikes than Cambodia all buzzing around. And as with all SE Asian countries, the driving is pretty crazy with the biggest vehicle always having the right of way. I'm surprised there are not more accidents especially as they don't use mirrors or look before they pull out onto the street. Not put off, however, we took on the traffic riding in a cart pulled by a motorbike. And it was from here that we we saw many great sights, our favourite being the full size pig riding on the passenger's lap of a motorbike! How crazy is that?! As they turned the corner, the pig was squealing loudly - luckily I had camera in hand. It was a satisfying moment! As rush hour hit, we got caught in all the mayhem - a wonderful opportunity to say hello and chat with all the other riders and kids on bikes as we all cruised along en masse!
A final beer in a tiny plastic chair restaurant (the chairs are tiny, not the restaurant) that locals frequent, topped off our afternoon in Can Tho. Then onto dinner at a restaurant that spoke no English was great because they put their arms around us and waltzed us straight into the kitchen to look at the food so that we could choose exactly what we wanted! The little local joints are the best for this very reason - they always welcome us in. *Stub
