At the China-Vietnam border

After a five-hour drive from Yuanyang, we are in the Hekou, a coarse and practical town at the junction of two rivers on the Vietnamese border. Nearly all of the traffic across the border bridge is on foot or bicycle. It's been interesting to watch people haul ridiculously huge loads on modified bikes.

Tomorrow we're in Sapa, Vietnam, where we should have complete (but slow) access to the entire web.
