I am surprised how well dressed the children are, with the cute two piece outfits. I could not find the rats head, 'tho the photos moved too fast to really look. So far I have seen them twice. Where are they cooking eggs in the hot pool? Are there more than one vent? Where from? I presume the water buffalo are let out to eat and work and then are tied up under the homes. It seems as tho all they can do is stand there. The dogs are scrawny. Did you bring a frisbee with you on this trip? Did the first one ever fall off the roof? What are you hunting for in the rice? I think that floating flowers down the river includes the Ganges in India. Are those banana trees?
A neighbor brought over fresh chocolate-chip cookies. Delicious! Do you get sweets with your meals? I can't see the makings of much except fruit. The children are sucking on sticks.
Of???? WHAT A TRIP!!!! G'ma J
The kids here are well dressed because their mothers make almost all of thier clothes! its actually truly amazing, sometimes they buy them, and and sometimes they buy thread from the city, and sometimes they plant the cotton, and the seeds to decorate them and plants for dyes, or go and find them in thier conservation forests, and make the thread, and weave the cloth and sew the clothes. its is amazing!!!!!!! one thign the villager said alot is 'here, we can live without money"
the bit with eggs in the hot spring was with my host family on the way to Chiang Rai, its pretty cool, its a hot spring just like yellowstone, but on the side of the road. People just buy the eggs and pop them into to boil! eat them with soy sauce, yum!
yes, they tie the buffalo under thier homes when the come back so they dont eat the garden.
The dogs eat left over rice, they are very very scrawny.
i brought a frissbee and it was a huge hit, but i lost it at the third village (kids were playing and then we went to go play in the waterfall and i forgot to find it/bring it to the next village) i hope they have it and are playing with it, they could share thier culture with me and maybe i can share a bit of mine! (the first one is still on my host families roof)
uh... i don't think we are looking for anything in the rice, we are harvesting it@ ohoh wait, those are jobs tears, they are seed that the women sew onto shirts (the cool b&w pictures with hands right?)
the amazing tres with beautiful huge square leaves are banana trees! they are so fun to draw!
yes, thai food is either rice, very bitter, curry, or extreemly sweet. Only i never feel full from eating rice, so i have a hard time feeling full here. All my firends here keep fantasizing about cheese. man. i love cheese. and bread with olive oil.
