Doug,
These are wonderful pictures of Vietnam. I enjoyed your presentation in showing the daily life of the people and capturing the human's side of the people. It reminded me of my last visit to Vietnam. These pictures must a year old or couple because the new helmet law started in Dec 2007. www.pbase.com/longbachnguyen/vietnam

You really captured the everyday life in Vietnam. I've been there and lived with a family in a small town outside of Hanoi. Vietnam is such a beautiful country. I really like your pictures!

Doug,
I just perused the Vietnam gallery here and thought the pictures were great. I really like your eye for the everyday life in this gallery, forgoing some of the scenic shots typically seen in galleries. When I travel I am very interested in the everyday life of the people that live there...You certainly got it! From my desk here in Oregon, I really got the sense that I was there in Hanoi!
Thanks for posting them,
Brian
