text:

Quite suddenly the dance breaks off with a last scream and all move away. Some men go into the Ang's house, others sit down where they are and start to chew betel. During the dancing in front of the Ang's house there was unfortunately no sun so that hoping all of the time for its return I did not take any photographs here. Little of importance happened during the rest of the afternoon.
