I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this strange cultural phenomenon here in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Apparently everyone just takes pictures of their junk. Everywhere you turn, people are just rabidly snapping photos of their junk - and it's still pretty cold here this time of year. Must be a Vietnamese thing.
My junk is the larger of the two in the foreground above; as you can see it doesn't quite fit in the shot.
Three guys let me take a picture of their junk at the same time.
When your junk's tucked behind you, as above, someone else has to take the picture for you.
Here's a picture of a rock in a cave. Did I mention that Vietnam's currency is the dong?
Get your mind out of the gutter. From Hanoi, I bought a three-day, two-night package to stay on a traditional Vietnamese "junk" boat on Halong Bay, including a night's stay on the boat and a night's stay on Cat Ba, the largest island in the bay. Will post more in a few days.
