by rc

Sapa is a terrace farming mecca near the Chinese border, also home to various indigenous people, including the Hmong, whom I became slightly familiar with in the book The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. I enjoyed the book but the few medical students I’ve conversed with were indifferent.

It's difficult to sleep on the sleeper train from Hanoi to Sapa. Better than the sleeper bus, I'd bet!
