Can Be - Floating Market and Food Factory

This floating market is the source of many of the goods you find in the local markets. Buyers come here to get entire shiploads of product for resale.

Poles rise over each ship to show what product they have far sale.

In the food factory, puffed rice is created in a large pot filled with hot black sand. The sand is then sifted out.

Dry noodles are magically created in the same pot.

The final product here looks like a rice crispy square.

Rice paper is spread, steamed, and dried.

Coconut candies are mixed, formed, and wrapped.

The boa constrictor was for the tourists. Linda approved.

Snake wine is made as an "Asian Viagara".

Durian is an asian fruit that "tastes like heaven", but "smells like hell". Many hotels
and restaurants will not allow them because of the odour. We were out on the water
with a steady breeze, so the smell was bearable. They tasted great.
