Vietnam is a place for sensory overload. There are so many rich and colorful sights happening all around you at any given time, it’s hard to focus on one thing. Today was no exception, and as we made our way on the river to the town of Chi Be, we passed ferries, cargo ships, and bright fishing boats. My camera was buzzing as it captured one image after another. But it was in a little candy shop that my attention was drawn to the remarkable ability of the Vietnamese to create these mouthwatering coconut candies by hand. The process is tedious, precise, and at the end of it all, delicious. Every aspect of the candy was made by hand, even the rice paper in which the candy would be wrapped.
