The children in Vietnam, as in many parts of the developing world, find joy in the simplest of things. Just as these kids in Vietnam exuberantly roll bicycle tires down a hill.
Though they’re in shadows, you can almost see the smiles are their faces.
No video games or TV for these children. They likely come from a village where community and extended family are valued. Their lives may not totally be without want, but you can’t help speculate on their level of happiness.
Travel Well!

Great shot.
this reminds me of how the kids in Cambodia could turn almost anything into a toy. A string tied to an old water bottle? Perfect, pull it along and the other kids will chase!

You know, I never even noticed that these kids were poor until I read the post. All I saw was the joy sprouting from their little faces. They look happy and content.

Love this shot! Especially the sense of scale with the little baby on the back
