npdien,
Very nice photos. Reminds me of the time we visited Hanoi.
It certainly is a motorcycle country. We experienced such a ride ourselves --- as tourists, we were totally not expecting such a wild ride over country roads in Sapa carrying our travelling gear, (my camera/bag etc.,) hanging on for dear lives! We saw drives carrying doors or other wares full to the hilt on their bikes. We couldn't carry so much walking, let alone driving a bike with that much. It is really a juggler in the making!
I see your photos with people with smiling. They may be poor by our standards, but I think in their way, they are contended and happy with their lives. I visited Bhutan and saw poor people, too, but those we interacted with seemed to be happy. The more well-to-do ones there were the ones that wanted more!
Thanks for posting your lovely country and florals. Let's get back to beautiful flowers.
Thanks.

npdien,
During the war I was stationed in Da Nang and Phu Bai. A very long story but in 1997 I went back to Vietnam and married a lovely woman from Cu Chi. While I was waiting for her immigration papers to be approved, I made a couple of more trips back to visit her and finally in 2000 I went back to bring her to America. We have been married 20 years this year and she has been a wonderful wife to me. Due to health issues I have not been able to travel back there anymore, but she goes back often to visit her family, usually during the Vietnamese New Year. She takes lots of pictures, but only on her iPhone.
Keep up the nice pictures. They bring back a lot of good memories.

Mixed forest of cedar and spruce with bracken fern understory. I just traded my 7D for a 7D Mark ll, so I'm trying it out while on holiday on Vancouver Island. I'd normally use my 5D Mark ll for a shot like this but I didn't bring it with me. So far I'm really liking the 7D Mark ll. I post processed with Snapseed on my iPad, so I'm not sure this is how the picture will look once I get back home and run the RAW file through my usual PPing.

Just liked the effect of the lighting and shadows.
