A typical native house
House on stilts due to possible flooding, living quarters on second level. No nails used to build house, so able to sustain earthquakes; stilts are square, not round so that snakes cannot slither up to the upper level
Native now has car
Kitchen area of living quarters - note porous floor boards
Owner of house talks about their customs
Water splashing festival - supposed to be good luck to be splashed on; a lot of fun
Tourists are invited to participate.
