The above rice farmer lives along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in a remote village in Attapeu Province, Laos. A few years ago, the villagers had cleared the jungle, so they could plant rice.
During this exercise, they had discovered a large, unexploded bomb dropped by US aircraft during the Vietnam War, but they wisely decided not to try to defuse it themselves and sell it for scrap (a practice that still kills and maims many in the region every year).
