Di choi in Thiet Ong

These are the pix from the visit to Dung's house in Thiet Ong commune. As usual, we go to discover the local land and people by first visit to the local friend's family in Thiet Ong. That's Dung's family.

Dung's family lives on the house-on-stilt in the middle of a very large piece of land, including a big garden, a lot of trees, vegetables, chickens, buffaloes and a pond. These kinds of things can be found just in here, never be found in cities.



The scenery in Ba Thuong is very picturesque, which is created by ranges of mountains and a very big and long Ma river. Here you can put your feet in very cool water streams. The scenery you see in the pix above is located on the way from Thiet Ong commune to Thiet Ke commune.



That's food we were offered in Dung's house. A lot of nutritious food!



Dung's garden is very large. We asked Dung to go to his house again in the harvest season because we are eager to help his family with the gardening tasks.



Dung's house-on-stilt is very traditional and typical for ethnic minorities in Vietnam. Now a lot of ethnic minority families in Vietnam do not have houses-on-stilt because the cost to construct this kind of house is very expensive. I like living in this kind of house because it's very friendly to the environment. That's why local people here are living very healthily.



Thank you Dung for your invitation to your house. I hope that we will have chance to to back to your house very soon.
