Photographer’s Note

In the Northwestern part of Vietnam on the border to South China you find the beautiful area of SAPA. A region that are located in the mountains and you can do some amazing trekking in this area. Lots of different tribes are gathered here. This smiling young girl from Hmong tribe tried to sell me some of here goods. The marks in her forhead are made from a glas, that are heated, then put on the forhead, air is taken out and the vacum creates the mark. She suffered from headache and this traditional way she used to get the pain away instead of medicin. She is colorfull and very nice girl. Hope you like it.
