Day 83: in the Port of Nha Trang, Vietnam.
.
Until the 19th Century, Nha Trang was a deserted area rich in wildlife such as tigers. After just two decades, In the early 20th Century, Nha Trang underwent a rapid change.
.
Modern Nha Trang is a city of two parts. One takes the form of a smaller Danang - a bustling Vietnamese city humming with commerce but blessed with access to a beautiful beach. The other is a peaceful Western resort town encompassing several blocks of hotels, tourist shops, bars and international restaurants.
.
On the day I was able to enjoy more of that bustling Vietnam. I have to say it was the first time for me in this side of the World, and it was a total experience to visit the central market of Nha Trang, Dam Market. Food of all kinds and shapes, that I never tasted; some that I’ll probably never taste. Animals of all types: dried, fried, some even alive like the rats that prowled around the market, very healthy rats I have to say.
Overall it was nice to see how other people live in other parts of the world, being submerged in their culture, rather than just spending the day on a resort.
