I like the serene mood these have. Is this Thailand?
Caryl

[Doc Henry]

Dear Caryl
No that's in Vietnam
I think you have a same landscape in Thailand too
Hoi An is very wellknown place for visit but around Hoi An it's less wellknown and life is very different That's a quiet place where we can live in the middle of a country and can eat some delicious food with local population
Thanks Caryl for looking and comment

[hiphop]

I second Caryl with her statement.
Yes I enjoy this series.
I was in Vietnam few years ago and can confirm that food was just great.
Thank you Doc Henry for sharing it with us

About the Leica SL (bought in 1970) i think it's still good for taking pictures !
All setting is "mechanical" and we have less electonic inside

Yes Vietnam is so far from us, but when i go there and in SE Asia, i am very glad to see that we can live on an other world,completely different from here . Are you agreed with me?

I definitely agree with you, Henry. Had to stay some months in Vientiane (Laos, 1988-89), inculding short tours in SE Asia. It has been my best travel around the world, for learning how to use soft energy to merge harmony at its highest point. But I was too busy at this time to pull out my camera.
Could you travel to the Jars' plain in the north, to the Boloven plateau in the south ? The countryside provides a deep feeling of hospitality, and they still grow delicious cherry trees
I met there people both delicate and energic. And it came to me as an evidence : the food is obviously in accordance with their civilisation.

Dear Michel
People in SE Asia live with a different style than us.Per exemple the population around Hoi An where i lived with them for some days (humanitary program consultation of elderly and children) they are so pretty and i never forget their graciousness
They are less things (not like us) but always smiling. When they have some food they share with all !
For Laos, i never was in Jarre's plain but for Boloven i will go this year
Best regards
