A farmer in Vinh Long Province in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region has spent his lifetime savings to build an eye-catching yacht-shaped house out of pure nostalgia for his days as a sailor.
Cao Van Nam, a-71-year-old man from Hoa Tinh Commune, Mang Thit District, built the house for VND5 billion (US$217,975).
As a young man, Nam worked as a sailor for many years before immigrating to the United States with his family in 1990.
Later, his love of the high seas was rekindled after travelling aboard a luxury cruise.
