Over tea we did some work with Deusuba and he proved a good informant. I started by asking him about mobility. It is possible for a man to go and settle down in a village other than his own, even though there are no families from other villages in Laisong. A big village such as Laisong usually has several colonies, and there is a "Small Laisong", founded from here as well.

Tonight is a full moon and an absolutely clear sky. The heavy rain seems to have cleared the atmosphere.
