The Faces of Vietnam

The small traders of Hanoi, the common people in Hanoi's busy streets; and the tribal Black H'mong and Dzay people ........... Living their every day lives, with and without us tourists.

河内的小商贩，老百姓在河内繁忙的街道; 部落的黑色 H'mong 和 Dzay人............ 在他们的每一天的生活中，有没有我们这些游客也不例外。

毫无疑问，河内人民和少数民族人的生活与型态，就是我们来越南想看到和体验的原因之一。

The lady who massaged my feet at "Daisy". Her name is Duyen pronounced as Zuyen. I saw her with her friends hanging outside Daisy and so we had a little chat. She taught me a few words. "bang kieu" is a male singer, "ming duai" is a female singer, "lep chai" is handsome (male), "sing gai" is beautiful (female). All's good.

Duyen's two work mates - Dat and Nguyen
