August 6th, 2015: Beating the Vietnam Sun

Vietnam is tropical hot and humid over much of the country.
The summer Sun beats down mercilessly, but the natives have found ways to cope.
Using materials at hand, they fashion protection when and where needed.
Traveling by foot, cycle, or bus, the shields can be discarded easily to save bulk and weight.

I need one of those hats.

Lola, do you have any homeland hat connections?

"the shields can be discarded easily"

Tell that to the guy on the bike who spent three weeks weaving his.

Nah, he paid some kid 4 cents to make it.
