Flash Back to the Old Norm! A Market in the Mekong Delta! Can Tho, ...

Vietnam is kind of strange place if you ask me; but it was feeling pretty normal back in 2019. This is pretty cool old world style market in the Mekong Delta. It was a mask free covid free, social distancing...what's that? kind of world. Lets got back in time and have a look around the old norm in Can Tho, Vietnam.

What I love about this market and Vietnam in general is that you can bet that most everything you see in these photos was produced within 30 kilometers of the actual market. Vietnam is a real farm to table kind of country the food is clean, the produce is fresh, tasty, and at prices you may not believe possible.

We were lucky to be here during the height of fruit season. They have all sorts of fruit that would be considered highly exotic to the western world. Things like loongan berry from the leche family, dragon fruit, rambutan, tamarind, and array of different kinds of mangoes, besides a whole lot of other stuff that I frankly don't know the name of.

Walking around this market is like going back in time. The traditional Vietnamese hats, the rickshaws, and the language being loud and of zero understanding to use foreigners are things that will probably never change. Now come along and lets have a look around a traditional market in Can Tho Vietnam!
