Vietnam is a nation that almost tailor-made for exploring. She holds a special allure for travelers seeking to catch a glimpse of the practices, lifestyle and antiquity of a resilient Eastern culture. We went to Sapa Valley (Northern Vietnam) where tribes are abundance.

    Awesome photos!

    I've not been north of Hue yet. Looking forward to it someday on one of my travels to Viet Nam visiting my wife's family.

    Good stuff. The little girl seems a bit soft in #2 ... the rest are top-drawer.

    Thanks for looking.

    You're the 2nd person to mention about the softness. OK, I'll sharpen it.

    Next year I intend to visit Hoi An. There are really so much to see. Modern and layback all combine in Vietnam.

    Yeah... Hoi An is a nice place to visit. I was there for only a day back in 1999.
