This big Buddha is surrounded by smaller ones on each level of the building. All the walls are covered with mosaics and sculptures. It is all very impressive but... too much! So many colors and details everywhere.

This is the entrance of a fighting bunker used by Viet Cong soldiers during the war against the USA. The entire tunnel has been enlarged to allow western tourists to walk through it, the oginal tunnel were extremely small. The vietnamese soldiers needed to crawl, in the darkness, to get to the next exit!

I saw this fisherman coming back to shore at the fishing village in Mui Ne, Vietnam. The big boats in the background are for the deep waters but this small barge (or bathtub?) are made for the static nets situated close to the beach. Those nets catch fishes and other species overnight. It is quite a show to see all those bathtubs in the water early in the morning!
