            Once more, the fish boat makes a U-turn and past our top deck view. Their passengers appeared to be in a more festive environment, and clearly more population dense.
            The wonderful fish boat as seen from afar as it swam through the water. It makes a wonderful reflection in the water.
            A neighbouring boat afloat at a respectable distance. There were coloured lights on the top deck highlighting the non-functioning sails as means of décor and appearance.
            Zach and I aboard the boat at dinner. Pals.
            I haven't a clue how these wonderful vegetables were crafted, yet they were quite the artistic construction! The larger flowers were very firm to the bite, as with many ground vegetables. The little flower was salty beyond my analysis. After tying a bite, I wondered if it was intended as just a plate decoration rather than for consumption? Nonetheless, it was still edible just highly salty.

            Before dinner is served, you can see the layout is simple for a relaxing evening afloat. The boat we were on had two levels for a multitude of dinners- I would estimate over 100. This evening, I believe there were less than 30 passengers (non-crew) aboard.
            Many of these dinner boats featured a given theme. For example, this particular boat was decorated in the theme of a large fish.
            Our evening on the water of the Saigon River. The man in the red polo, Lamh  (Lambchop) was our cheerful guide throughout our stay in Ho Chi Minh City.
