Mui Ne, in Southern Vietnam, is a small fishing village, growing through the road that leads to it, accomodating tourists and expats, mainly from Western Europe and Russia. Little paths from that road lead to a thin and long stretch of sand. This coconut vendor passed by me a couple of times before I raised a finger up to the sky. She kneeled and, with a couple of accurate strokes, cutted the top of a coconut. There was a silence to it, so i pointed to my camera, for permission.
