Sapa
Tonight I travel to Sapa, on the overnight train.
It is a small mountain town near the Chinese border. Thuc Anh says, it is a very sensitive province. The people who live there are ethnic minorities such as the Dzao, H'mong, Tay and Thai people. There are quite a few different groups that are clustered together under the definition of Hill tribes. They are sometimes referred to as Montagnards which is French for Highlanders, apparently.
Phuong just came back from there and he confirms that the Hill tribes don't speak Vietnamese and don't like Vietnamese people.
