You push off on a flat bamboo raft and the river obliges, carrying you through slow green light and the occasional curt teachable current. The captain guides with a long pole, singing local jokes between stories about the riverbanks — mango trees, limestone cliffs, and garden plots where women fry festival and saltfish for passing guests.
