| To hunt the above mentioned rums is not easy. According to a rum hunter: In addition to being fully equipped, rum hunters spend all day soaking in the water, walking backwards along the beach, their feet constantly stepping lightly on the sand to find and immediately catch the rum suspended in the water and put it in a bag. Because "rum" is very soft and slimy, you can recognize it right away when you touch it. A good rum hunter can also earn millions of dong every day. |
