Feeling much better after a massive infusion of liquid, a whole watermelon, countless number of oranges, cups of water with a little bit of cold med.<\/p>\n
Later in the morning, I headed to the village. For those Christians in that village, no work of any kind on Sunday. The whole day is occupied with church going, singing, dancing, listening to preachings, and more in the same order, three sessions a day, two hours each. Accompanied with the Sunday routine, no smoking and no drinking.<\/p>\n
The wife was dressing the little girl up with I came to their house. The traditional Lisu dresses are colorful with lots of accessaries. The little girl, already very good-looking naturally, was even more adorable with red-beaded headware and skirt, albeit a bit too big for her size.<\/p>\n
I had some tea with Ah-Che before following him to the church. He was kind of late, the session had already started. People in the village know where to sit for their church session, men on the left, women on the right, so when they sing, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve already in the correct part of the chorus.<\/p>\n
The priest, David was there. I went to ask him for permission to film once again. Not that people there have problems with me filming, but they are too nervous about my camera. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get a few seconds before someone started staring at it. Somehow I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mic-ed Ah-Che right, I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hear much from his channel, only later did I find out the mute switch was on. Uggg, he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sing that much, and I should have a lot more time later.<\/p>\n
Women led the way out after the session \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a nice gesture.<\/p>\n
I chatted with David a little bit afterwards. He is organizing some clothing donation to poor families up the mountain and was looking for donation that could help some children to go to school in the city. As much as I got so fed up with some of the ways Christian doctrines are being practiced back home, I still believe the good intention people have no matter what their belief system is.<\/p>\n
Back to Ah-Che\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house, he had fresh boiled eggs for me to take away. I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t reject.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to Liu-Ku to meet a Lemo minority elder, a friend of Kang. Lemo people is the only group in the Nu River canyon who kept their original native religion and strongly rejected Christianity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
