A walk around in Mulashidi - the name means 'a patch of thatch by the Mula river'
|
|
|
|
A small tour in biology!??
|
|
|
|
|
This, according to my tour guide, should be a Sago tree (above) - I have my doubts
|
|
|
|
Below is a hydropower facility which is used to generate electricity for the village (only during nighttime)
|
 |
|
The inner part of the ripe fruit (the brown one in the photo below) is used as sponge, says my tour guide. I believe him and call it 'Sponge Bob' fruit
|
|
|
|
The tree in the photo below is called 'Master of the Wood', says my tour guide. I say < it looks like a fern tree you see in New Zealand>. He says it is not a fern tree - I made peace
|
|
|
|
And again some scenery
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
As many of the people in Northern Kachin State are Christians you might find a Catholic, a Baptist and a Lutheran church in the same village
|
 |
|
Above: not the only church in Mulashidi (but nothing so fancy as we are used in the Western world)
|
 |
|
It's not unusual in this area to be invited for lunch ... here we spent lunchtime in company with a lot of nice ladies
|
 |
 |
|
And below some photos of the new ressort which the owner of Malikha Lodge built and which will open in 2011
