30 March 2004, village 13 km east of Onyang (Asan-Chi)


Rafters and overview of a stream through the middle of a village of traditional houses.
It was deserted. In the few hours I was there I saw two or three elderly people tending to the gardens around the houses. It seemed that some lived there. There were no other visitors walking around.
