As in Australia, so in Vietnam

Just as the kangaroos carry their joeys (babies) around in their pouches in Australia, the people living in and around Sapa carry their kids around on their backs in very comfy-looking wraps. Even girls as young as 5 years old carry their baby brothers and sisters around all day on their backs as they stroll around the villages and mountains.


The infants look very content - and we have yet to see a single one causing a fuss or crying.


Here we tried to capture the natural beauty of this culture. The Westerners have yet to catch up with their expensive Baby Bjores!
