Assurancetourix Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The last time I went to Vietnam was eight years ago ; from april 26th 2007 to may 5th 2007 ; only ten days with my thai wife ; All photos shot with my old Nikon Coolpix E4500 which cannot shot photos now; it has some main problems autofocus and computer inside also; I gave it to one of my nephew who is a french teacher in a japanese university , Hachioji Campus in Tokyo . He gave it to japanese friends who are studying photography, so they can open it and see what is inside The first photos are taken in old Hanoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Our boat have a stop on a fish/crab farm which is on an artificial island Don't forget we are not far from Hong Gai which is a coal port in Quang Ninh Province " The province has rich natural mineral resources of coal, limestone, clay, kaolin, white sand, granite and so forth. Large reserves of anthracite coal account for 90 per cent of coal output of Vietnam. Limestone reserves are estimated at 3.1 billion tonnes which would be the basic input for cement manufacture. Other mineral resources phosphoric, titan, antimony, quartz and oil have been found which could auger more industrial projects in the Province. Clay and glassy sand, important material inputs in the building industry for manufacture of tiles, bricks fired-bricks, bricks, ceramics, are in abundance " from WikiPedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qu%E1%BA%A3ng_Ninh_Province Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
