Messy sight of a cow being slaughtered by the roadside...
One of the biggest temples in the vicinity that Dr Ai spent a couple of his teenaged years in...

Introducing... the Banna Belles!! heheh.
Half-time break from hours of walking across hills and plains...
Stop-over at Pulang tribe village
Boiling some water for tea... and if you look closely, you can see pieces of meat hanging over the kettle to dry!
Dr Ai going about his rounds to brief and be updated by the various village doctors...

Sunning the tea leaves
Weighing and bundling the tea leaves for sale
