A cow dung collection

In the village we visited we noticed that there is nothing going to waste. So, even the cow dung becomes free fertilizer for the crops.

Trouble is, its someones job to put it on the fields!! (see pic)

House in the province
1 more image

As the cliffs provide resources for the roads and the houses in the province villages, they are nearly all concrete and/or stone built. This makes for more impressive scenery and better roads to travel on.

Basically, they blast away the rock from the cliffs and use it accordingly

Meeting a local school party

Ninh Binh people will constantly call, 'hello' at you and wave. They are very friendly. If given a chance and they know a little English, they will also try and talk. Please respond appropriately.
