Betel Nut Boat Lady, Hoi An, Vietnam
After things settle down at and around the market from the morning's frantic rush, there's sometimes a few moments for a break, waiting for the next frantic rush. Not immediately obvious perhaps, but black teeth again indicate betel nut chew. The river seems always active for transport and commerce, and this woman looks quite comfortable there, with ample experience perched at the bow of her little boat. Most propulsion in these little boats near shore came from pushing the long staff into the riverbottom below.
