Yes, the tribes seemed to live on a meager existence. I'm not sure if they were any more or less happy though. It looked like they simply had a different way of life and knew nothing else. Those in the towns seemed about the same as those in Hanoi in regards to socio-economics. I'm going go into it in my next one or two posts.

OK, thanks for the quick update.
Sounds like many people who live relatively far away from civilization but who actually have enough. It's enlightening to see how such people can be so content.
Looking forward to future posts.
I must say, when I was around the Sa Pa area, some H'mong guides I did trekking’s with said that alcohol can cause quite some trouble under the male population sometimes in the more deserted areas.
Thanks for the reply. I guess alcohol is hard to escape and is often one of the major issues in those places.
