Village in the hills, a few hours by rough road from Yenbai

I first visited Vietnam in early 1997, working for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on an aid project to help modernize radio there. On my first morning in Hanoi, I was awoken in my hotel room on the dot of 5 a.m. by what sounded like a brass band in the street below. I went to the window. It was still dark, and not a soul was around. The music continued, and after a few minutes there was an announcement. Though I couldn't understand Vietnamese, what I was hearing was unmistakable - a radio program. Did somebody out there have a radio turned up really loud?
