River Commerce Vietnam
31 March 2006 - A man climbs a rope ladder up one of the freighters lining the river's edge on the Saigon River near Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Many items are offloaded from the freighters to one of the many long river boats used to ply the Mekong Delta with the items to be sold at floating markets or to vendors in small river villages.
