Great pictures. Now write your story.
Loved the little girl. Hard to imagine that this is all done on water.
Amazing how we all live such different lives, isn’t it?
It is crazy how different we live. In Vietnam things are modernizing albeit slowly. There has been tremendous change since we first came in 1997. The floating markets are getting smaller – much of the roads are now paved and bridges have been built – truck delivery is quicker and economical. Everyone is dressed in western clothing and has a cell phone. Closer to the cities water buffaloes are now pets and tractors are being used!
what are the scents? Tell me more, please
