How It's Made: Besamim. Seriously, we stumbled upon this little setting deep in the mountains completely off the beaten path. They could not speak a word of english, yet we communicated and had a great time. They are picking cloves out of the branches. Entire families were doing this, even 2 year olds.

It seems we were the first white people these children had ever seen.

We ended up staying for a while and helping out.

Mineral Pools near Danau Buyan

Interesting game these kids were playing by flicking marbels into each other (Who remembers kugalech?)

Preparing for a funeral. Nearly the entire village was there helping out for 6 days while the body lay nearby. Interesting sight.
