This is rattan materials being used to make a house or certain part of a house.
We were invited to go into one of the villagers' house. As you can see, they used the rattan to block the sunlight from shining into their small clay house.
The ceiling is mainly rattan and on top of the rattan is solid clay. Only 2 beds for a family of 6.
These are some of the clay brick being left to dry before laying it to build a house.
I tried to break with a karate chop and my hand almost came off. It's real hard.
My friend gave a thumb's up to the wall structure. It's clay too with some sticks in between. Quite solid but with one strong push, the wall could actually tumble down.
One house being constructed in this village (with clay bricks).
The madam of the house was serving us sweets and 1 of my colleague was surprised to see a Cadbury sweet there. Our ma'am said that she brought it to them when she visited her few months back.
Sheltering away from the heat.
Not really that hot as cool wind was still blowing softly.
Our ma'am with her close friends now. The madam of the house has a family of daugthers and if not mistaken, 2 of them were working faraway from whom. But not as far as we all guys/1 ma'am from our home in Malaysia.
Quite a well kept village.
Mode of transport within the village area. Natural air-cond for everybody.

We were heading to the hills after visiting the villages.
