When I lived in SE Asia, I used to love to see people on bicycles talking on cell phones.
haha!People still do that in Vietnam
Though I have never tried it…i don’t have the multi-tasking skills when riding a bike :p
Culture mixed with technology
Yes!
So true.
I was really excited to see her on the phone that I asked…’who were u talking to? ‘ Hehehe!
That’s a great capture! On the one hand it’s the picture of a woman in all her exotic finery, on the other it’s the portrait of a woman with boundless vitality and enthusiasm. Out of context it might be surprising to see such a traditionally-garbed woman on a mobile, but with this woman, it seems as normal as if she were in a business suit at the office.
I love the way you put it! I should learn from your deep insights and the language you use for this picture. It does paint lots of words and am happy you liked this picture!
She is indeed traditional on one aspect, modern on the other!
i love the glow of this woman’s eyes that tell express how happy she is.
liwat sa nagpicture ging!
