Vietnamese recycle goods collector managed to strike a deal to buy the used carton box.
She's using the 'daching' weighing scale which is an old traditional method.
Instead of folding the box and hook it up to the weighing scale,she weigh the whole box standing with a tip toe.
She must have reasons not to fold the box which was well taped below it.
Maybe her buyers must be those wholesle sundry shops who need it for packing goods.

Every morning it would be interesting to watch the many street vendors walking with their merchandise along Luong Ngoc Nguyen heading to the Cho Dong Xuan market to sell their goods which is another ten minutes walk from here.
This Vietnamese street vendor loaded her goods on a bicycle as it might be too heavy and tedious to carry them with a stick on the shoulder.
Assuming that each basket weigh ten kilos,it's not an easy task for inexperience people like us to lift the bamboo shoulder pole with baskets of goods.
It takes them less than one minute to walk a distance of 500 metres.This is something very unique to be seen in Vietnam.
A reminder to tourist,you might be approached by some of these vendors requesting you to buy their product especially banana. If the product doesn't suit you never mind,you are most welcome.
The vendor will then let you try carrying the two basket (about 2kg each) with the conical hat on and help you take photographs.
As you were about to move away,the vendor will request payment for using her facility or buy the goods.
Just note that if their basket are full of stuffs,they are genuine vendors and not those with very light baskets.

The contribution of this sector to the national economy has been increased gradually as said by the Ministry of Trade of Viet Nam.
However, cashew small scale farmers, especially ethnic one, still get low price for their products and suffer risky conditions due to the fluctuation of cashew nut price.
This study was carried out in Binh Phuoc and Dak Nong provinces, central highland of Viet Nam, which the aim is to understand how specific conditions of households and also the local settings affect to the price of cashew nut.
Why do cashews price fluctuate? If you are a trader of commodity,you should follow the price of corn and soyabean in the United States of America which are correlated.

Like much of Southeast Asia, Sino Vietnamese are dominant in both the Vietnamese commerce and business sections.
Many Hoa had their businesses and property confiscated by the Communists after 1975, and many fled the country as Boat People due to persecution by the new Communist.

He spent most of his childhood days in Hue completing primary school at Truong Quoc Truong Thanh and then high school at the School of Grapefruit in Hanoi.
In 1932 , Wei was granted a scholarship to study in Paris and holds a BA in Physics, Physics-Chemistry Master at the University of Paris (also known as the Sorbonne , France ), and is accepted as a graduate student at the laboratory of Frédéric Joliot-Curie , a physicist and famous French nuclear scientist.
After World War II broke out in 1939 , following the advice of Professor Joliot-Curie,Wei returned to Vietnam.
He was appointed Indochina Director of Studies by Ho Chi Minh.
During the August 22,1945 revolution he even participted with the North Vietnamese army against the French occupiers.
He founded SET Assembly for patriotism education for young intellectuals. He was leading the first scientific projects Vietnam Geophysics Conference International in Moscow in 1957
He is regarded as a patriotic scientist, serving the country till the last breath, is a dedicated teacher with integrity and humility.
He has helped train several generations of students, including many who have become teachers and talented scientists.
He was awarded the State Teacher of People with several medals including the Medal of Resistance; Labor Medal; Independence Medal; Resistance Medal against Americans.
GS Lê Văn Thiêm (March 29, 1918 – June 3, 1991) was one of the most prominent scientists of Vietnam in the 20th century.
Together with Hoàng Tụy, he is considered the father of Vietnam Mathematics society.
He was the first director of Vietnam Institute of Mathematics and the first Headmaster of Hanoi National University of Education and Hanoi University of Science.
Lê Văn Thiêm was born in 1918 at Trung Lễ Commune, Đức Thọ district, Hà Tĩnh province, to an intellectual family.
He attended the Collège de Quy Nhơn and was a top science student.
Within 4 years, he finished the 9-year education (equivalent to K-12 system of the US) and went to University of Indochina for his higher education.
In 1939, after passing the final term examination excellently, Lê Văn Thiêm was offered a scholarship to study at École Normale Supérieure.
His education was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War, and only continues in 1941. He graduated with Bachelor Degree of Mathematics within a year, rather than the conventional 3-year time. Under the direction of Professor Georges Valiron, he defended his Ph.D. dissertation successfully in Germany at 1945 and then moved to the University of Zurich where he met and worked with Rolf Herman Nevanlinna for some years.
In 1949, following the call of Hồ Chí Minh, Lê Văn Thiêm returned to Vietnam to support the war of decolonizing Vietnam.
Moving through many positions in North Vietnam's science institutions and government, in the mid-1950s he was appointed headmaster of the National University of Advanced Education and School of Basic Science (now the Hanoi National University of Education and the Hanoi University of Science, Vietnam National University, Hanoi).
In 1960s, he was one of the scientists who suggested opening two national high schools (Hanoi National University of Education High school and Hanoi University of Science High school) to foster Vietnamese mathematics talents.
In 1970 he became the first director of the Vietnam Institute of Mathematics. Later on, he also became the founder and first editor-in-chief of two of Vietnam's Mathematical Journals: Acta Mathematica Vietnamica (in Latin) and Vietnam Journal of Mathematics (in English). Lê Văn Thiêm died in 1991 in Ho Chi Minh city.
The charming reception hall interior with Colonial French architecture.
The main entrance door has some fine decorative art.
The French colonists, who occupied Vietnam, wanted to feel at home.
Not only did they import their culture, religion, and food, but they imported French architectural styles as well.
As Vietnam opens up to the world, the French architectural heritage is enjoying a new renaissance as one of the country’s tourist attractions.

Elephants today do have ancient relatives which lived primarily in water.

If you desire to escape the traditional Vietnam trail,go to the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
One such place is where the late Professor Wei birthplace,Kon Tum Province in the Central Tay Nguyen Highlands or Central Highlands.
Kon Tum Province is bordered on the north by Quang Nam,on the south by Gia Lai,on the east by Quang Ngai and on the west by Laos.
Kon Tum is 49 kilometres north of Pleiku; 246 kilometres north of Buon Ma Thuot; 198 kilometres northwest of Qui Nhon and 436 kilometres northwest of Nha Trang.

Another place is Dak Lak Province, the largest in Tay Nguyen or Central Highlands, is located southeast of the Truong Son Mountains,shares a 240 kilometre border with Cambodia on the west.
Dak Lak has many beautiful lakes such as Ea Kao, Eas No and Eo Don. Lac Lake is where the M’nong minority has been living for many generations and has relatively flat terrains with average altitude 500 – 800 metres above the sea level lowering from the southeast to the northwest. Buon Ma Thuot, which is 536 metres above sea level, is the provincial capital of Dak Lak.
The majority of the local inhabitants are the E De people, one of the several groups of ethnic minority on the Central Highlands. T
