Motorbikes (Xe-om) around Nha Trang

Here are some quick snaps of our whirl around country Nha Trang on a motorbike... the most fun you can have with your helmet on...

Learning how to weave Vietnamese style... These ladies can finish a 4 metre weave with consistent detail in 2 hours (that's without an overlocker, Gran/Mum)

Handing out treats (read 'junk food') to the 'Little Monks' at the Buddhist orphanage. As you can see his head is shaved except for a forlock - when he turns 16 he has the option of either remaining in the community as a monk or returning to the world. Some of the kids of 7ish on had started wearing robes and were astonishingly calm and serene for such young things, but before that age they seem to be completely free to be children as the pic suggests. Notice Miss Bates in classic 'positive reinforcement' teacher pose.
Rice paddies! I love them. I want to decorate a room with pictures SOLELY of rice paddies... Lindsey has suggested the bathroom.


'Tropic Thunder' - Lindsey on a motorbike. Note the white knuckles grasping the handlebar on the back.

Love to all
