Exotic (from a European point of view) and interesting. Any idea how they are used in the kitchen?

I will skip on the snakes. That image is so disturbing I cant even see the photography part behind it.
I dont fear snakes. But as a food source? not in this lifetime.

Thank you Thomas and Elsa.  I know they eat grilled snake meat.  With the preserved stuff other than drinking the alcohol, I don't know.

I like the weavers shot

For the western cultures, eating in Asia is always a different experience, the times I have been traveling in China I survived just fine, and enjoyed must of it :)

Did you tried the snakes or just shoot them ?

Very nice additions. The motor bike crowd is impressive. Just visualize they would all be in their own car...

Ron, I'm enjoying the series.  The wide dynamic range of the life in Vietnam is wide from the idyllic countryside to the busy large cities.

The bottled snakes image is hilarious!  Did you see any lizard version?  :D

Ron, thanks for some 'real world' documentary coverage of an interesting place.  Your shots have been an antidote to the photojournalistic clichés that I usually see. Please keep posting!

I have something from Laos which is even more disgusting.  Just wait.
