Can Tho, the name comes from "cam thi giang" - river of poems. The city, regarded as "Western capital", with an estimated population of 1,121,000 as of 2004, is the biggest city in the Mekong Delta. The city is located on the south bank of Hau River, the bigger branch of the Mekong River. It is 169 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s largest city. Can Tho’s climate is tropical and monsoonal with two seasons: rainy, from May to November and dry, from December to April. Average annual humidity is 83%, rainfall 1,635m/m and temperature 27C.
Administratively, Can Tho City constitutes an independent municipality at the same level as provinces of Vietnam. It was created in the beginning of 2004 by a split of the former Can Tho Province into two new administrative units: Can Tho City and Hau Giang Province.
In the morning i was at the famous floating market which was not that interesting comparing to the big ones in Thailand. Strolling around in the suburb of the city i stood without notice on this lady's backyard. Instead of being afraid for a big western guy she smiled at me and ask me to come closer. Very difficult to guess how old she is, but here attitude was very friendly and peaceful. A hard life she must had/have, look at her hands.
In the workshop a close-up. |
