This trip back to my parents hometown, Kiên Lương, a district located Kiên Giang province in the Mekong Delta region of South Vietnam was truly an adventure of a lifetime! I am so glad to be able to experience this with my parents, and having Dion along for the journey made it even more remarkable!! 🥰
Welcome to Kiên Lương! It is a 6.5 hour Hà Tiên / Rạch Giá sleeper bus (semi-bus) which we took with @kumhosamco6105 from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).
In this video we start our morning by heading to Chợ Ba Hòn to try a popular street food snack (or meal) known to the Mekong Delta, or miền tây (south-western Vietnam) areas! We then meet up with my parents and head to the local market (Chợ Tròn), a flea market they used to frequent a lot as kids, before they fled to search for refuge and freedom during the Vietnam War. We bump into some of their old friends (including my dad's ex-girlfriend 👀) and witness our first ever snake preparation live within the market. 😳
The rest of the day only gets better! We are joined by all of my mum's family (my grandparents, uncles and aunties) for an unforgettable dinner, where Dion and I try snake for the very first time! 😱 As you guys know, it is Vietnamese culture to nhau (drinking and feasting), so we enjoy some beers and sing karaoke all night long!! 🍻🎤
Words cannot describe how it felt being there.. the stories that were shared and the new memories that were made. This video has a special spot in our hearts and it is one we hold dear to us. We hope you enjoy this video! 🧡🧡🧡
Let’s explore and eat!!
