Cat Cat is a small village adjacent to Sa Pa, in NW Vietnam. It is the easiest place for travelers to visit, requiring only a short walk. The village, the mountains, and the people are beautiful. I traveled to a few other villages, deeper into the country, and all had similar gobsmacking views. I literally stopped my motorbike a few times on the side of the road in wonderment. The bold green mountains, rice paddies, clouds, and peacefulness of it all give most of this region a fairy tale-like feeling.

Here at Cat Cat, I climbed up a small hill where a restaurant or other building had been abandoned before completion. Like most of SE Asia, there are no safety warnings and anyone could easily walk right off the ledge. Because I was filming, concentrating on holding the camera steady, I made sure to stop a few feet short of the ledge. One step too far, and I easily would have plummeted several dozen feet, probably with fatal consequences. Ouch! You can see a picture of the building from where I filmed here.
