The Fishermen Village

We woke up at 5:50am preparing for a big breakfast of toast,(jam and butter), dragon fruit, apples, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, and hot tea. They said it wasn't enough food but boy, were they wrong! There was once a lady on there who said she gained weight, and I hope that didn't happen to me. After breakfast, we went to see the fishermen villages. Their house is on the water, so the the kids have to learn how to row a boat to school as their bike. (kids are done going to school at age ten) The fishermen and their children have lived there for generations. It all started when the French went over to take over Vietnam. The people packed up their belongings and went to live on the water where it was safe. And now, they like livening there so they stayed there ever since. Then we went to see the pearl house where pearls are made. They said they put a fake plastic ball in the oyster, and then in two years a real pearl is made by the oyster. Then we went back to the boat and ate lunch while we sailed back home.
