Wow, with many thanks to my friends :)

The celebration continues…

The Black Hmong are the largest minority in the Sapa region, accounting for about 50% of the population of about 50,000.

Pls. note that I’m not much on line and Internet connection is slow and under the weather here. Wanted to post this earlier but Internet was out for most of the day. As I promised last time, I will catch up when I’m back. Thanks.
