Rice Terrance

The weather at Sapa is cool! Very very shiok. Clear fresh air with occasional mountain breeze blowing past. Looking out from the windows of the guesthouse, I can see the rice terrance, the scenic is so refreshing, relaxing and calming that I can sit for hours enjoying it.
Took a trek in the morning and walked for about 8 hours into the sunset enjoying the fresh air. The sunset at the rice fields were spectacular. Golden coloured sky, golden coloured rice fields and mountains. There is a gentleness to the whole place with the local natives the H'mong moving at a leisure pace in with their daily work. It is as though time is meaningless in this place, without a need to worry and rush for things and feeling guilty when things don't work out. Paradise and ethopia on earth.
