Usually various Hmong people are comming to Sapa on week-ends to sell their goods (as worn-out clothes.) This young girl was waiting for her mother to come back and, eventually leave the town.Related content

cool, i wonder what life in poverty is like, i've lived in america too long, and everything seems to be easy for me, i wonder how it would be like to live like that.

not saying that they are terribly poor but comparing my lifestyle, a hmong in the USA with a car and a motorcycle and hell, a whole lot of other things, and to this below suburb living lifestyle. I wonder if I could handle it.

Why are you calling this girl "white Hmong"? I was visiting Sapa last December. Unfortunately, it was raining off and on during the three days we were there. The trip to the Love market was cancelled and no chance of taking colorful pictures of the different ethnic groups

White Hmong people use to come in Sapa a few days a year (especially during week-ends) to sell mainly worn-out skirts to vietnamese and black hmong. These people wear different clothes and the skirt is typical of these people.
You went to Sapa ? 
Looks like you were using a guide or a tour.... right ?

You mean the White Hmong only come to Sapa to sell used clothings instead of new ones? Yes, I was on a tour, visiting Hanoi with a side trip to Sapa. Like I had told you, the weather was lousy and we could not see much. Did you see my painting [link] From your gallery, now I know they are Flower Hmong

Yes they keep the new clothes for themselves as one can take up to 1 year to complete.
About your painting it's really great. I just faved it as I enjoy it a lot.
You are welcome but try the next time to comes by yourself rather than with a tour, you'll see more
Yes it's a red zao but I'm not sure it's real gold as here, in VN, a lot of people have fake gold teeth.

To discover something by oneself, that requires time. That's why I often join tours. But it's true tours would bring you to nicer sides of life

Tu vis parmi les Hmongs? Mais il me semble que les Hmongs parlent bien le vietnamien. Quand j'etais la, les petites Hmongs essayaient de me vendre leurs bracelets et elle me parlaient en impeccable vietnamien

Non je ne vis pas vraiment parmis les hmongs
Je vis dans la ville meme car c'est difficile de vivre au village pour un etranger

We were shown one typical home and I did wonder how they could live in that situation. So I'm not surprised if you found it difficult to live in the Hmong village
