Post by: Gary on July 20, 2015, 04:45:10: The location seems like a place not on most tourist's radar. I, for one, appreciates the road less traveled and those to take that road,

Post by: psilo on July 20, 2015, 08:05:40: Thanks!!!

Post by: chris dees on July 20, 2015, 13:19:01: Very nice portraits!
They're probably taken near Sapa.
I've been there in 2008 and now seeing your portraits I want to go back. :)

Post by: psilo on July 22, 2015, 16:51:46: Hi Chris,

I'm glad that I was able to bring back your memories. You are correct. There were taken in 75km range around Sapa.

Post by: Jørgen Ramskov on July 31, 2015, 16:21:17: Very nice, I too particularly like the last one. I'm also envious of your trip.
Title: Re: From vietnamese villages...
Post by: golunvolo on September 08, 2015, 23:27:27: Envious as well :) I prefer the closeness in the first one. So open, natural and friendly...very interesting character.

Thanks for sharing!

Post by: psilo on September 10, 2015, 13:08:31: Thank you for the kind comments. I discovered over the time that everywhere I go it is better to speak polish language that sound more or less like singing for asian people with lot of "s" "z" "sz" inside words and that makes them smile. Even if no one is able to understand what I'm saying I'm talking.

In Nepal one guy that was exchanging the money told me that it sounds like kids language ...

Cheers!
