A number of cargo boats were hovering along the banks of the Ben Tre River. Since the town of Ben Tre is one of the shipping centers in the Mekong Delta, there are many ships moored along the riverbank. What is interesting is that all the boats have eyes painted on their bows. The eyes are round and cute, and the bows look like the faces of small animals.

Looking at the face from the front, the animal looks as if it is eagerly awaiting its next embarkation. Going out into the unknown can be an exciting experience, but at the same time, it can also be a source of anxiety. But with eyes like these, we are sure to be able to discern the course of travel even in the deepest fog.
