The weather in Vietnam was seriously hot: the sub-zero temperatures of China were long gone; 30 degrees, sometimes 35 degrees.

It was so humid that the Polaroid camera was starting to encounter some serious difficulties. ‘Instant camera’ you said? Well, 15 seconds at least were now necessary to eject the Polaroid film…

Not that practical for a portrait, except maybe this awesome self-portrait: hmmmm, let’s see what’s wrong, nothing’s coming out? oh merde!

Thankfully, the camera sometimes managed to find some extra energy to pull out some pics.

We also managed to get some instructions in Vietnamese, so the stop at the local post office was a breeze (once I understood how to queue Vietnamese style: do not wait your turn in line, rather rush to the counter on the side and be the first to draw the attention of the post office lady).
