Di choi to Co Lung commune, Ba Thuoc district
















After working days in ILMC office, we totally had free time during our weekends. You see that's good time for us to discover the mountainous and ethnic minority areas.
With the enthusiastic support of our local friend Dung, we had chance to have another visit to a very poor but extremely picturesque commune named Co Lung. We had to pass Ban Cong commune to reach Co Lung commune. It was really poor but people was so friendly.
We visited the house of one Agriculture Extension worker named anh Tinh and we were invited to have lunch there. Duong was invited to try on the traditional dress of Thai minority.
And as usual when we visit the house of ethnic minority in Ba Thuoc, we would be invited to enjoy pipe wine (ruou can), that we could never forget.
Thanks anh Dung and anh Tinh for your warm hospitality!
Wish you all the best !
