Vietnam is my least fav country in asia [that includes china, but at least they have more to see and do]. which begs the question, why the hell have i stayed in saigon for 2 weeks and done jack? still, before that i was in North Vietnam where, like many others, went to to see the hill tribes in Sapa and Bac ha.
this is Can Cau, a chinese-flower H'mong market some clicks away from the Chinese border 18kms from Bac Ha.
