... Lahu Village (31/03/07 - 01/04/07)

Mhh, after a nice day at the Golden Triangle, we came to the place where we were supposed to sleep :)) Wow, we were really surprised. It was a very poor village in the middle of nowhere. First, we were not sure what we should do - so we only sat in front of the little hut as our hosts did not talk to us and rather ignored us ...Nevertheless, we had a very nice view ... That was the hut - only very small.
The villagers even cooked in there ...So in the evening we were sitting on the little balcony having our meal ... mmmh very strange ...
When we were there, it was very hot and there were a lot of fires in the Jungle. So suddenly after we had had our dinner we heard some music and then the mayor of Lahu village spoke through loudspeakers and asked every man to come to help to extinguish the fire as it was coming nearer and nearer to the village. Of course my dad also joined and it turned out that they did not have good facilities to extinguish the fire, so everyone had to pee on it :))) That's the little hut :))) That is where the three of us slept. Obviously, we had the parent's bedroom. We slept on the floor on bamboo sticks, beneath us were the pigs, chickens and other different kinds of animals which made noises during the night ...
Brushing my teeth, surrounded by pigs and chickens ...
and even bigger animals :)My dad waiting to leave :)
That was a really interesting experience for us, but we were happy to leave.
