text: My (87) conversation with the Ang mostly concerned the history and foundation of the village as well as the morungs and clans. Tomorrow I will find out more. In the evening my house was surrounded by curious onlookers and I had much fun with the young men. My electric torch entertained them endlessly and they were happy about every cigarette. Finally I had to close the sliding door of palm leaves to be able to write these notes.
