Dray Sap Falls and Yok Don National Park, Vietnam
Dray Sap itself - an immense, horseshoe shaped set of falls. The roar from the water was deafening and the volume of water coming down the falls was immense - it was May, the rainy season had barely started and (in Saigon at least) there had been six months of almost no rain at all yet the falls were truely impressive.
Growing up in New Hampshire and Vermont the maple trees would be tapped in March. It took a few years for me to get used to them being tapped here in February. Did you know that it takes 40-50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup? One tree produces 10-20 gallons of sap. My favorite way to eat maple syrup is on snow! Growing up we called them Leather Aprons but most people call it sugar on snow. You heat the maple syrup until it forms a sticky ball on the snow (the snow was collected in a baking type dish), once you've got the right consistency you drizzle it on the snow and it hardens to the most delicious chewy candy. My Aunt and Uncle had a farm and a sap camp (they boiled their own sap down to maple syrup) where they would serve donuts and dill pickles (to offset the sweetness) alongside the leather aprons. When you got down to the bottom of the pan with very little hot maple syrup left you could stir it for quite a while to make maple candy. Just one of my very favorite things.
It was a beautiful sunny day and the temperatures climbed slightly above freezing. Not quite prime sugaring season yet, but we wanted to get some of our trees tapped since tomorrow the temperature is supposed to be close to 40. We were just going to put one tap in the tree we can see from the kitchen window, so we could watch it. As soon as we tapped the tree a little drop of sap appeared on the end of the spile. When it started flowing we would installed the rest of the taps. It was warm enough yesterday to start the sap flowing.

Tonle Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. Also called Boeung Tonle Sap, it has one of the world’s most vibrant ecosystems. There are different species of wildlife in and around the lake, which helped to sustain and grow the ancient Khmer civilisation. It's also famous for its fascinating local communities and their floating villages.
Located in Siem Reap, the massive lake is 250 km in length and 100 km across at its widest point, making it seem like an inland ocean because it is impossible to see the opposite shore from ground level. Surprisingly, it's fairly shallow, with a maximum depth of only 10 metres.

We started really late so we missed most of the good sap season. We still got 12 gallons of sap and over a quart of syrup.
