The most important lesson I learned from traveling was to always have a camera ready because you never know when you’ll stumble across something interesting and worthy of a photo. On the bus ride to Halong Bay, I had my camera in my lap, hoping that I would catch something interesting along the road (there wasn’t much that I could get through the morning haze).
As we exited the bus and walked to the port for our tour boat, I spotted a new sight on the sidewalk — drying fish. Alright, so drying fish on the sidewalk is nothing new to see — I’ve seen plenty of fish and other meats out to dry all over the world. This time, however, the fish was drying in the sun on top of a broken piece of styrofoam.
At least the styrofoam kept the fish off the dirty sidewalk. But I doubt it really made a difference with all the traffic going passed.
