  • In the North West of Vietnam, the Quan Hoa mountains. It is one of the poorest and most isolated regions of Vietnam. Here, the majority of peasants survive on less than a dollar a day. However, this province has an inexhaustible wealth, bamboo ... Vietnam's green gold. Some of these bamboos are transported by raft ... A makeshift boat, assembled in a few hours, sets off on the "Luong" river, to join the "Song Ma", Vietnam's third largest river. This region is also the only one in the country where the roads are not all paved. During the rainy season, which lasts almost three months, part of the trade is paralyzed. Even 4x4s or trucks quickly give up taking them… The only machine capable of traveling on these tracks, the “Tuk Tuk”. But in Vietnam, the king of transport is the motorcycle. It's almost a religion. In the country there are more than 40 million motorcycles.

      Guy, we didn't lose our wars with this country. The United States and France are not now controlled by Vietnam. Just like you British before that, we accomplished what we wanted (in our case, slow the spread of communism throughout Asia) and left. Could have done that quicker and cleaner without the constant foreign and domestic interference.

      •They also repelled the Chinese & Cambodians (& successfully got rid of Khmer Rouge) also the Mongol empire lost 3 times to Vietnam. The Champa kingdom has lost to them also & ended up merging with them. Vietnam become a Great power in Southeast Asia & has forced surrounding countries to become vassal state which means since 1182 all minor countries surrounding it inc. (but not limited to) Laos, Chenla, Thailand & Champa must send gifts each year. If that’s not powerful then I don’t know what is. 🇵🇭 🇵🇭 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
