This photo of an elderly woman in Dalat is one that is our most poignant photographs.My daughters were terribly worried about her being out on the street in her condition - she was very bent over and stiff. They wanted to know why she wasn't at home being looked after. Maybe this is what she wanted to do? But I'm sure if she had someone to care for her, they would have. The Vietnamese people honour and look after their old.

I am sure she will be healthier working than staying at home. I have many friends who still worked past their retirement to keep themselves occupied and have friends in the working place rather than stay at home alone. Very interesting photo.
The pictures is sad in many ways but what your daughters said specks volumes for them and their up bringing.. :O)
Alice - yes i hope that is the reason!!!
Tom - yes my girls are very soft and caring and if i let them we would have come home from Vietnam with hundreds of people, stray dogs and cats, and horses. It was hard to explain to them that horses are working animals and when they saw them loaded up with furniture or timber they would be hysterical. We had to avert their attention when they were on the road!!!! I think it is called culture shock.
she's kind of pretty in a Judy Dench sort of way-- and selling Juicy fruit gum, I'd buy stuff just to give her some business. I am like your daughters, and my oldest sister was worse than me--she couldn't forget the needy people she met and would plan to help them somehow even if it made no sense as she was not at all well off and was struggling herself. Soft hearted beyond belief.
According to Stanford Medical, It is really the SINGLE reason women in this country live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 19 KG less than us.
(By the way, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to do with "how" they eat.)
BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "what"...
