houses stand separately between trees and granaries |

The difference to the high lying villages like Wakching is startling. Here the houses stand under tall palms and the dark green of orange trees, the branches of which are already bent down by the weight of the fruits. The jungle grows luxuriantly close to the houses which stand separately and as though smothered by all the uncontrolled plant life. But the rice granaries (100) are all built on poles, not all in groups at the edge of the village, but each next to the owner's house |
