Tam Dao National Park, Vietnam
Just returned from a couple of days in Tam Dao National Park and here's a few snaps of the weekend.
On the way North from Hanoi this garish pink house stuck out so I snapped it...

Still make me smile in Asia when I see people crammed onto their bike with far too much stock. Poor girl on the front has no room at all

Stall selling bread on the road side, looks nice but the bread is nearly hollow. No fluffy white centre. Shame.

Pink house enroute to Tam Dao
Houses in Vietnam are usually built long and narrow (tubes) because of archaic building regulations that limit frontage width. The side wall/s are unpainted, without windows because the adjoining land belongs to someone else who may build his wall attached to the neighboring house or just a few centimeters next to it. It's not uncommon to see the side walls of neighboring houses with just a crack of space in between.
