It always amazes me what people will do for that perfect photo.  Well, my husband is one of them.  After he took the following photo, he told me that it smelt like a urinal and that it was made of plastic and he felt it flexing.

What was he standing on? Some sort of communication box I think.  The most funny part of it all was that we attracted the attention of a local group picnicking who started waving and laughing at us.

Note: from the quality of this photo, the publisher was unable to determine who this is.

In Vietnam they do the power and communication cables a bit differently than Australia or New Zealand and most of Europe.  There seems to be an awful lot of cables.  I was told in Cambodia this is because when I new tenant moves into a house or apartment instead of using the existing cabling, they just add new cabling.  Not sure if that happens here, but it does make it an impressive sight.
