Day 10 (cont) Culture in Transition

While touring the minority compound I found myself thinking how their culture is changing. The older women still do the traditional needlework but the younger ones talk on cellphones and drive motorbikes. Here's a photo of a traditional stairway carved from the trunk of a tree.


Did you notice the cellphone on the third step?

Wonderful wood and hand-made handles and latches in the old house.



I couldn't tell the wood for sure but o think it was ironwood in the stool. Well made and well used.


This young man works in the fields then works on his father's motorbike. Interchangeable skills, I guess.
