Where people gather - a photo essay of the remote markets of North-West Vietnam

With the influence of western goods and mobile phones - communication and the way people interact and socialise is gradually changing in the remote areas of North-West Vietnam.  However the weekly market always has been and continues to this day to be a gathering place where people come to trade, to socialise and to gossip.  Here is just a sample of shots I've captured at these colourful community "meet ups".
