In the middle of the Mekong Delta

This is a footbridge over one of numerous rivers in the Mekong Delta. Amazingly the rivers are always muddy. Probably many people here have never seen transparent rivers.

But,surely, people depends heavily on the muddy rivers for their entire lives such as growing rice, catching fish, transport and swimming. Definitely rich rivers.

Get ready for bombing. (Vietnam)



Not surprisingly in Vietnam, dogs can take the position for protecting themselves from bombing. Because of the long bloody war, their ancestor had leant how to do it. Then it has been handed on to the next generations.

Sorry for my silly joke.

Divide up Indonesia?

I’m wondering if Australia and U.S. are trying to divide up Indonesia, which is located right next to Australia and have about 200 million people and a significant amount of natural resources, by using the same tactics as what they used for East Timor.

It seems to me that Australia and the U.S. are making propaganda claiming there are human rights violation and genocide in Ache province, West Papua, West Timor and so on. Their aim may be to make the regions become independent to reduce Indonesia’s potential power.
