I Saw This Along the Road.

---

The beauty of Vietnam is real and in so many ways it is enhanced by the people. In someways, they live as they did one thousand years ago. In other ways they are as high tech as the most modern as people of the so called advanced countries. One thing for sure, the country is changing fast. But, the old ways are still there.
For some reason this blog will not let me edit all the photos. You can see sometimes its a long road ahead.

This is the kitchen area of a house several hundred years old. The houses today look much the same. Notice the hammack for resting while the women is cooking.

The living room. Pretty fancy furniture. This house was a well to do trader.

In her spare time the wife would do weaving.

Toilet. The modern ones look very much the same. This is a squat toilet which accourding to medical authorities has many advantages over ours.

In the corner is the cistern to catch rainwater for cooking and drinking.
