I prepared myself for a lot, but I have to say I was a bit alarmed by the little boys playing in the road, considering the number of accidents and near accidents...

Matt was amazed by the bamboo furniture the children were turning out at the shop where Jen and Steve had some things made.
In the market, there were children everywhere. This little guy was just hidden in some of the furniture orders, snoozing away.

Many children are off foraging for a portion of food to contribute, as was this little girl. She spent hours wading out, catching fish in the much-coveted plastic grocery sack.

These young men refused to pass us on the steep mountain trail, though they could no doubt have made it home much more quickly. I wasn't sure whether this was out of sheer politeness, timidity, or an interest in arriving into the village following the outsiders ;)
