muddy: we're back!
hey (:
back from the laos trip! must tell you all, laotian kids super super strong. they're quite small built compared to singaporeans, so imagine a 9 year old kid weighing barely 10 kg carrying not one, but TWO buckets filled with cement (abt 5kg each) and they can easily outwalk me. BAREFOOTED too.
very humbling experience there, my best attempt at chopping bamboo was 7 hits, worse was 20+++ and it still didn't want to break. haha, the womenfolk there, (some old lady) did it in 4 hits! and the kids can easily swim in the river without getting washed by the current, which is quite substantial.
and all kids above 12 get their personal parang i think. the girls carry it like it's some tote bag under their arm. how imba is that.
dinner time (:
