The Hmong hilltribe live in Northern 
Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and 
southern China. There are a variety of
other hill tribes living in these areas. 
Obviously, their culture has been tainted 
by tourism, and I must confess that I 
felt a bit intrusive entering their 
village while they hawked their 
handicrafts.
                                                

Cute pictures of the children in the 
village brought a smile to my face.

After our dinner 
at the lodge, 
some of the 
villagers 
performed for 
us.

Here is the favorite sport of the Hmong 
tribe. They are called "Tua-Lu", and it 
is like a top and the individual whose 
top spins longer is the winner. I 
purchased one of these tops for my 
students.
