Probably since we started late,  8AM, the floating market was quiet….  very few small boats shopping or selling.  There are only 3 such markets still existing in the delta,  but this 1 in particular exists mainly for visiting foreigners,  not for locals.   Traditionally,  they open 3 AM to 7 AM for trading so farmers can get back to work on the gardens and fields early.   These give us an idea of what it was like to shop on the water.

One boat only approached our boat,  called by our guide to make him a fresh squeezed orange juice.  Many sellers live on these boats and go into the gardens to collect their produce to sell.  on top of the flag poles they tie some produce to show what they are selling.
