Thanks, Alex, what a great trip. I can hardly wait to go and see the hillsides and the beautiful people! And the water buffalo! Nice video; nice music; good audio.

Fascinating...thanks as always, Alex. Greetings from MT.

Great to hear from you - thanks for watching.......alex

Alex. I've made it point over time to watch your entire series. You may want to consider visiting Quetico Provincial Park where I have canoed over the years and is rich in petrogylphs

[@storiesbyalex]

John, thanks for watching the series. I'll have to consider that area a a possible trekking venture. In my Mexico Revisited video the same two fellows who traveled to Mexico also made a journey to Ontario in a canoe. It was filmed in the early 1930's and is probably in the same area you mention. Presently, I am traveling to Spain to visit several sites. My regards, Alex

Hey Alex, those square spirals could be seen in Tibet too

[@storiesbyalex]

Hello Shaojuan, thanks for watching. Interestingly, square and circular spirals can be found in many parts of the world. The night scenes in the video were from Nha Trang.........alex

storiesbyalex You have seen way more things and scenery than I did in Vietnam, beautiful video. I hope I could do one trekking/travelling video like you do some day.

Anyone noticed the kid with the pink jacket taking a piss/shit behind a rock around 13:57?

[@Tidehotel]

From the looks of the vertical lines and the rock shapes, I would not be surprised If most of these were crude blueprints for the creation of stepping fields and village location in the mountains and valleys visible from that location...... Just my 2 cents

[@storiesbyalex]

Owen, your right. Many of the petroglyphs appear to be maps of the of the rice terraces and homes........alex

[@Workmule4ever2day]

That was my first thought as well.

[@viethoang9205]

Haha. Thanks Alex.

[@storiesbyalex]

Hello My Friend, I want to thank you for all your help when I was in Hanoi............Alex
