Crossing the border

Last passport check at the Cambodian border. Don’t forget to slip a Dollar into your passport.

On the way to our homestay

Path to our stay

A welcome contrast to the last place we stayed at

Wet, but beautiful

Home-made Malaria

Homestay in Can Tho

Back to basics

But it had everything you need

Uuuuhhhhh, bread rolls for breakfast, the first time since August! In the rest of Asia, bread as basically defined as toast.

Some see waste, some see flowerpots

Not going to starve here

Another floating market

Looks like he’s jumping into the water, huh?

Pineapple delivery

How to make rice noodles ☝️

Grind up your rice in your 60-year-old grinder

Mix with water and spread on a steamer thing, cover it

Keep shoving rice hulls into the fire

When done…

… use your rice cake lifter tool…

… and transfer it…

… to your bamboo mesh drying mats.

Next, let them sit in the sun for a few hours

Then collect them

Put them into your noodle cutter

Done!
