Villagers bathe in the "clean" water of the Mekong
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
Our tour guide, Mr. John, explained that the water of the Mekong was very clean during the rainy season, aside from the brown color from the rain. The river people drank, cooked, washed, and bathed in this water without fear. As we floated down the Mekong for three days, all we met were happy folks eager to wave and greet us with a "hello!".
