Vietnam

Graveyard behind a village in Hue

I went to Vietnam for easter holidays, I thought it was an oppotunity to find out how people live without electricity, since it is economically a poor country, there are lot of communities that cant keep up with modern time. I happened to be sick for about 2 weeks right after I got there, so I had little time to travel around. As I grew up in Czech Republic, this was all new to me. I was thrilled by the view of the rice fields, the relaxing environment and hospitality of local people. Children were finding other ways of entertainment, such as catching little animals. The impression stayed in my head and I started to wonder what would happen if the technology was introduced to them.. Would they be similar to our society now or will they keep their way of living? My original plan was to document this with my black and white film camera but the lighting wasn't good enough at night, therefore I used a digital one. I just regret not being able to discover more of this.
