  This welder is typical of many found working in small shops throughout the cities and towns. Nothing is ever wasted here and everything is recyclable! Out of necessity, they repair all their old equipment, bicycles, trucks, cars, .....whatever. You still see the U.S. army jeeps and trucks we abandoned there 23 years ago!
 

An old woman arranges flowers on her doorstep in Dalat.

They are probably being prepared for sale
in the market.
