Hunting

1. This morning, I woke up early and felt fresh:

2. I wandered every where to hunt for food:

3. I was so hungry and tired: "God, please help me to find something to eat or I'm going to die..."

4. Before long: "Oh yeah, God heard me.... This will be my big breakfast and lunch. Thanks God."

SaPa - Vietnam

Sapa (Westernized spelling) is a frontier town and district in the Lào Cai province in northwest Vietnam. It is one of the main market towns in the area, where many ethnic minority groups such as H'mong, Dao and Tay live.

Sa Pa District is located in Lao Cai Province, north-west Vietnam, and 350 km north-west of Hanoi, close to the border with China. The Hoang Lien Son range of mountains dominates the district, which is at the eastern extremity of the Himalayas. This range includes Vietnam's highest mountain, Fan Si Pan, at a height of 3142m above sea level. The town of Sa Pa lies at an altitude of about 1600 m. The climate is moderate and rainy in summer (May—August), and foggy and cold with occasional snowfalls in winter.(from Wikipedia)
