So I figured I'd post a tiny tiny bit about the village, Paklang. 5,000 people live here, mostly Hmong (but some Mien and Thai Law, other minority hill tribes.)
Most of the roads are concrete, but this strip in front of my house is dirt. And yes, there are roosters everywhere, yes they cock-a-doodle-doo, and no, it's not just when the sun comes up. Their circadian rhythms are a bit off.
Last week we got to go to this ceremony/assembly celebrating the national teacher's holiday. It was very ornate and beautiful. I loved the kids. They were so beautiful and fun to watch.
You don't understand how many pictures I have. Someday they will leak out. But for now, enjoy the cute asian kids - I want one so bad! If you have questions, or want to talk Thai/Hmong politics, or anything else for that matter, let me know!
It's fun to see some of the things you are seeing and doing, and hearing... cock-a-doodle-do (I bet that is not funny!) Can't tell you how much I love the pictures. I hope the leak that springs is a big one so we can enjoy more.
ReplyDeleteWow Rach thanks for posting these fun pictures. It is so fun to be able to see all that you are doing and those kids look so cute. And dirt roads sounds like a lot of fun thank you so much for posting we look forward to them
