Mr Huan drove at speed through the mountains in northern Vietnam so I was unable to photograph most of this, but these are some tiny glimpses of life as they flashed past us on the road:

• Naked children waving from doorways
• Wedding celebrations in a tiny village
• Live pigs and calves strapped to the back of motorbikes on the way to/from market
• Someone slitting a duck’s throat over a bucket
• Small children carrying heavy loads
• Teenagers hanging out
• Mountainside labourers
• Pool tables in open village homes
• Rice field irrigation systems
• Tiny old ladies carrying heavy bundles of wood
• Sheets of corn kernels drying in the sun
