07.09.06 - I visited "Bau Truc" which is a small village that is inhabited by Cham descendands, today a minority but about 500 years ago a powerfull kingdom in Viet Nam. The people still keep their traditions in weaving and making pottery intact. What I found amazing was the fact that they make these pots not using a turntable but instead by walking around the object and thus forming it.

This lady has been making pots for 41 years. You can tell that with every single of her movement.
