MIN SUNG'S URBANIC SPACE

Second day has begun. Rain showered the ground during the midnight. My friend seems like he's satisfied by the weather. We started hiking towards the homestay village. A glimpse of Sapa from the mountain. Local people were cultivating marijuana for clothing. Duck family! Little enjoyment during the hiking..! Meanwhile in trekking track... After 5 hours of non-stop hiking, we rest for 30 minutes. (basically water break) And asked local people about the quality of their life.

IBDP year 1 student took a field trip to Sapa, a small town in the northwestern part of Vietnam. We (I) stayed 4 days in Sapa.

At the observation deck The first day in Sapa was finished by the journey to Fansipan mountain. The second day will be about trekking and hiking!
