| Life On The River |
|
The people living in the Mekong Delta make their living as farmers and
fishermen. Often, they live right on the edge of the rivers or canals on
various structures built from whatever materials found. Consequently, the
architecture along the delta varies from place to place.

Often, many homes have fisheries right under them.
Enterprising individuals build a cage like structure of bamboo beneath their
homes on these waterways to house fishes. As the fishes grew, they sell the
whole batch to processors from the city and start with new ones.

Life in the delta is tightly woven with its rivers
as daily activities and businesses are conducted on its banks. Markets,
stores, ship yards, repair shops are some of the more popular trades.
