    A local girl stands on the rim of a rice field at the top of the mountain, the highest viewpoint over the village. She is holding a wooden walking stick used to navigate along and up and down the slippery edges of the rice fields. Views[159] A caribo blocks the way on the main connecting walkway to the next village. You have to negotiate the right of way if you want to pass. Views[195] A few stakes rammed into the clay soil function as protection for the new crop from hungry chucks. Views[244] A boy walks along the edge of a rice field, which is also the 'main road' connecting upper and lower village. Views[230] Going from upper to lower village involves climbing down 100s of steep steps. Everything has to be carried in by men. Views[176]
