Put the mythical
Southeast Asian capitals of Phnom Penh and Saigon side
by side and you have a meeting of two countries divided
by an invisible line at the river. But the line becomes
real when you compare their very different cultures,
landscapes and pace of life. After the impressive
pastoral riverbanks of Cambodia, we arrive in the "Land
of the Nine Dragons", the rice granary of Vietnam. We
are constantly struck by the hectic pace of life in this
country as we pass houses over fish rearing pens in Chau
Doc, the boat yards of Long Xuyen, Marguerite Duras'
hometown of Sa Dec, the aquatic gardens of Vinh Long,
the floating market in Cai Be, the temples, pagodas,
brickworks, then the trawlers of My Tho, before dropping
anchor at the nostalgic port of Saigon.
