Every Sunday, the Hmongs of Moc Chau and the Thay of Mai Chau go to the Pa Co market to sell their handmade products.
The products are very diverse; sometimes they sell a pig, a cow or a chicken, a few newspapers, or things they have done… and there are many stalls with many colorful brocades
In this market, typical of northwestern Vietnam, little has changed over the years. It is an opportunity for mountain people to discuss and drink wine together. Not that they have a lot of time, but life is hard in the mountains and when they drink wine, they have a good time together. They are very emotional and open and alcohol is the bridge that connects them.
