@@JohnDavis-uc1ic Originally, Hmong people are from China, and China has the highest population of Hmong people. After China, Vietnam has the next highest population of Hmong people. The reason why you are only meeting Hmong people who say they are from Laos or Thailand is because almost every Hmong person outside of Asia are descended or from Laos or Thailand due to the Laotian Civil War / Secret War.

My wife and I spent 4 nights in BacHa March 2020. People were afraid of foreigners because of COVID. Many hotels were closed and some restaurants would not serve us. The family at Kim Dat Hotel (right at the market) took us in and treated us like family. Madame Cham at the Hoang Yen Restaurant always greeted us with a smile. We took to eating all our meals there because we became tired of being discriminated at the others. Most of the Hmong vendors were nice and treated us well. The majority of the problems came from the Vietnamese shop owners in town. Still our time in BacHa was interesting and I would love to go back again.

Ah, I think the blood sausage was good! I'm from Estonia, Northern Europe and we also have the blood sausages as traditional food. When I was a child, it was my favourite! We make it the same way with cleaning the intestines, but we mix the blood with salt and barley. I absolutely love them and we mostly eat it for Christmas coupled with cranberry or lingonberry jam. Another weird Christmas dish we have is meat jelly that sounds and looks very strange for most westerners. For this we cook swine head and legs long tume with some herbs and vegetables and later on we scrape off the meat from the bones and mix the liquid with the meat and pour them into cups and let them cool off, they will come out solid and taste well with some mustard or vinegar.

@@sarahrecod3147 Yeah, it can be an all afternoon process but in most traditional Hmong families, the women do most of the prepping. Also, it's not something you make on a daily because of the work that goes into it. It's usually made during the Hmong New Year festivities or to commemorate a celebration (like a wedding). Aside from chickens, most men prep the animal by butchering and cleaning it.

Why isn't it written phonetically like the latter ? Why a v instead of w?

[@cnxiong007]

@@JohnDavis-uc1ic I don't really know the literal history behind the Hmong literature other to say that it was adapted from white missionaries whom visited ages ago to teach the gospel of Christ. Therefore, they use the alphabet characters unlike other nationalities you've may come across. However, there are certain ending letters/vowels in the Hmong language that will alter the word. For example in the White Hmong dialect: mov = food/rice. if you change the "v" to a "b" now; mob = sick/hurt and is pronounced "maw" but with the tone pitch slightly higher at the end. Easier to hear the difference in person than on text.

[@koumoua7878]

@@JohnDavis-uc1ic it's because the V denotes the tone of the word. There are technically 8 (B, M, J, V, -, S, G, D), but mainly 7 tones used to each word and each time has a different meaning or no meaning to it.

Sonny...bro...u brought alcohol as a gift to a guy that owns his own Brewery, Thats like gifting Johnny sins a fleshlight.

[@jaynguyen1573]

Not exactly.. Food and alcohol are consumable and shareable. Especially in rural areas like that, more alcohol is never a bad thing, I'm sure. That anology with the fleshlight is just bad..

Many of these tribes originate in China and even as far away as Tibet where I photograph them back and 1986. Sadly many of them in northern Thailand no longer wear their traditional clothing and you can hardly tell one tribe from the other unless you know the languages. My mission was to photograph and preserve their traditional clothing, I'm glad I did. It will eventually all go away.

[@Go4Broke247]

Go to Laos, you'll see them a lot.

[@pg618]

@@Go4Broke247 This is true especially in the far North but even then slowly they are taking on blue jeans, plastic shoes and watches etc. I hope they can hold out and keep their Tradition.

[@tomvue148]

@@pg618 This is mostly due to the Hmong involvement in the Secret War. Easier to blend into the populace if you don't wear your traditional clothings for fear of being persecuted.

[@pg618]

so why are people of tribes in Bolivia and Peru and Ecuador and Burma and Thailand losing their ethnic traditional clothing?

[@tomvue148]

@@pg618 I can only say for Hmong people. Hmong in Thailand wear their ethnic dress more often than the Hmong in Laos. In Vietnam, it is common for Hmong people to wear their traditional everyday ethnic clothing.
