Everyday life

Travelling by car we caught glimpses of everyday life. The lady below is preparing rice flakes with the help of two young men, who operate the foot driven device. 

The end product: 

These young men weren't successful when we watched their fishing but proudly showed some fish (alas almost invisible in the basket) that they had caught just before we came.

The rice paddies had an almost fluorescent colour. 

Sticky rice with some kind of beans was prepared and sold in bamboo tubes. 

 

Unfortunately we had just had breakfast, otherwise I would have devoured this - a real treat! The haze in the picture comes from the usual morning fog on my camera lens. I couldn't wipe it off, it would come back immediately. 

This young a lady is preparing palm sugar, a common sweet and the usual sweetener. Note the simple mould in the top right hand corner of the second picture.
