Factories and Farms on the Mekong

Went around various locations along the river to see various factories and farms. The people worked under very backwards conditions. An interesting sight was that because of the abundance of longans, they do not use much firewood to make fire. Instead, they dry these longan shells and use them to create fire for their cooking and factory. These pictures are just a sample of the places I went. From the top, it is a woman carrying poprice/popcorn on her head, then it is our tour guide explaining the process of making vermicelli, then it is a rice factory and finally a small pig farm. Oink!
