My first post in Vietnam and this is what I came up with!? I couldn't contain my excitement when my aunt took me to her backyard. I have to say, pigs don't really "oink" and I wonder where the origin of that sound came from. They snort. Below are images from my visit to the countryside. Captions included.

| The entire time, I thought of babe and the three little pigs. But look at these 3. Poor pink one. |
 |
| She is so big, almost the size of a donkey! She's the mother to these cute little ones below. |
 |
| Hi! They make me smile. |
 |
| And I had to post more! |
 |
| Adorable! I try not to think of what will happen to them weeks/months from now. |
 |
| My, what big ears you have! |
 |
| 17 or 27 chickens total. I forgot what she said. |
 |
| The neighborhood. |
 |
| I know the answer now to "how did the chicken cross the road". You have to go to Vietnam and figure it out yourself! |
 |
| The front yard. |
 |
| Part of the kitchen |
 |
| Banana trees in the backyard |
 |
| And this. Hay. Dried up rice straw things. After they get the rice, they dry it to feed the pigs and what not. |
 |
| Lunch! All very fresh... just realized I ate pork... |
 |
| View from the front door |
 |
| They sell this at the market |
 |
| Mints and other herbs, which are used in almost every meal |
I love the 4th one down with all the snouts poking in those different directions.
