In one of my learning trips to Vietnam with my young charges, we happen to pass and stop by a make-shift shop that sells touristy trinkets and souveniers. Instead of being interested in the hand-crafted items, my eyes met up with this peculiar young girl, who seems a little timid, but at the same time, doesn't show any hint of being threatened by our presence.

 

I motioned her to just stand there, and do a natural pose.

 

I think she obliged, because there was no other reaction from her. I tried to talk to her, but she doesn't seem to understand me.

 

Here are some snapshots of her, and of her dad/uncle....I think...although they don't really feel like her relatives to me...but maybe it is just my gut feeling.

 

Enjoy the shots nonetheless.
