I was walking through the outskirts of Lai Chau (Vietnam) when I came across this little boy herding his big friend with a stick. TSSST TSSST, he'd say and the big one would move along. "Hi!" I said. He yelled back "HI!" with a shit-eating grin. Figuring the boy would know bare minimum English, if any, since he lived in a mountainous hill tribe that spoke their own language called Mong, i said simply "Is this your cow?"
"No!" He shouted back, then climbed up one terrace tier of the paddy field and hoisted himself over the animal's back.
"My water buffalo!"
How amazing these little kids are to pick up languages and vocabulary through interaction with tourists!!!
I managed to snap this moment shared between the pair before they rode away. It is by far my favorite photo I've captured on this mess of a trip.
Absolutely fascinating photo. I didn't know that water buffalos were rideable

That's such a nice and tremendous image you have captured. A small boy riding a wild jungle buffalo. It needs a lot of courage to do so. Hats off to your photography and also the image.

How amazing that such a little one is riding on this big creatures back, holding on to nothing but the animals back. Kids are such naturals.

Indeed it is remarkable, the connection seems much stronger than in (more) developed countries! Amazing.

I had a similar interaction in South Korea minus the water buffalo lol.
One early morning admittedly after a night of drinking I was standing on the sidewalk and a young buy peddled up to me on his tricycle. I gave him a smile not expecting much in return until he said, "Good morning!". I was a bit caught of guard at first and then proceeded to have a quick conversation with him before his father told him it was time to get going. The English language is taught to the much of the youth in other countries.
