Agriculture occupies the majority of Viet Nam's working population, predominantly rice production. Rice is the wet type grown in paddies in a way that hasn't changed in centuries. In the central and Northern parts of the country water buffalo are still used with traditional wooden ploughs, as illustrated by this farmer walking one of these benign creatures back from a paddy with a plough slung over his shoulder.

Above, in a Black Thai ethnic race village in the North is this cemetery, where the graves take the form of houses - complete with garden fences, a roof and even miniature furniture with a dinner service. At right are three Black Thai lads having a good look at our other Pentax K1000.
