As reported by Tuoi Tre TV, this is the oddest way to cross the stream in the world.

In a clip, provided by Ms. Tong Thi Minh, teacher of a kindergarten in Na Hy commune, Nam Po district, Dien Bien province, to Tuoi Tre TV, students and teachers crossed the Nam Po Stream to school in plastic bags.

“When will suspension bridges be built over the streams here--so teachers and students can be assured to go to school, and local people can go to the field safely” is the question raised by anyone who watches the clip.

Related to the recent bus trip made by a senior official in Hanoi, people wonder whether the Ministry of Transportation Dinh La Thang or Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan will plan such an incognito trip.
