One of the most popular destinations in Soc Trang City (apart from restaurant 36 where the beer flows freely and the waitresses are all young and pretty) is the lake. It's a man-made lake in an-oh-so-natural looking and ever-popular (in Vietnam anyway) rectangle shape.
Surrounding the lake are sporting facilities, gardens, carnival rides and cafes aplenty. The lake is one of the few areas in Soc Trang where people actually walk anywhere! To give you an idea of how Soc Trang-ians spend their leisure time I bring you photos of the lakeside...

Dan was quite excited about the orchid garden for some reason...
And now, to really test my blogging skills, I will attempt to upload a video of the crazy fish in the lake - they go nuts for a feed of puffed rice! (Dad - these fish put your Clarence River fish to shame!)
