Up in the north-west of Vietnam is a small town called Sapa. Surrounding the main town are stunning views and 5 minority (the Vietnamese term) peoples. For two days Claire & I trekked through the valley and had some interaction with them - though it was predicated upon commercial interests (we now have more souvenirs than we want).
The scenery was spectacular, with high cliffs along to our left and right, and villages and rice paddies spread along the cliff faces.
The H'Mong people in particular seemed to take a liking to Claire, making her presents of grass horses and a fern tiara.
