The weather is getting hotter and our dear Miss Tay has to wrap herself like she's in a desert.
Then put herself into the sun...
Our captain bringing us into a "jungle" of tall houses. This is the dry season which explains why the land is dry. During the wet season, water will rise to cover 3/4 of the stilts that supports the houses.The girl in green has never had proper English education but speaks fluent English. She learns from tourists. She has a good knowledge of her village.
Auntie cutting food.
This is the whole village...
Their way of life.
Their snacks. It's a type of snail.
Shrimps, another type of snacks...
Cook in boiling water.
Pick out those that cannot be eaten.
Then dry in the sun.
A wedding. But we didn't manage to see the bride and groom.
Waiting for the invited guests to be seated.
Their cold dish.
The chefs...(above and below)

These children go to school that Singaporeans built.
NUS Project Angel 10. A school for the children.
Some go to school, others work.
And some simply have fun.
Some just sulk in a corner.
But they are all happy children.
The big and the small children.
Time to say goodbye. These children have tried to sell books and pencils to us. But only when we are saying goodbye. The bulk of the time when they are with us, they are acting like little tour guides. Then a friend. The boy (not captain), starts to tell me his dream of working on a boat like the captain. Then I give him a bigger dream; to own a fleet of boats to bring tourists to his village. We did not buy anything from them but give them US$1 each to wish them a bright future. Yes, indeed these two children will have a bright future in front of them. One of the main reason is that they are people who treasures what they have.
