A waswas we will go
The people in the village usually waswas (wash) their clothes on Sundae (Sunday).
I took this photo on the winding road up to Kerevat.

About Me
"I was simply restless, quite likely because of a dissatisfaction with the recent trajectory of my life, and if there is a better, more compelling reason for dropping everything and moving to the end of the world, I don't know what is."
--J. Maarten Troost, The Sex Lives of Cannibals (2004)

Hello... nice to see you are back. Hope you had a great time. I see you have discovered the other project we started yesterday. Do you want to join the team?
This photo shows their way of life.
I like your sunset photo as well.
If I lived in Rabual, there wouldn't be too much to wash !!
It is good to see you are back. I hope you find your cat, Benson. I only caught a glimpse of him while virtually house sitting for you ... I'll let you know when the postcard from Hanoi arrives.
In thinking about your photo: In Texas, where I grew up, people pay extra for a tin roof. This is because of the damage which hail storms cause to conventional roofs.
life is great
Hi Jules,
Good to see you're almost back cause I remember you said you would be away a little longer than He-who-does-not-blog. I hope you both enjoyed the holiday. Did you get to Hoi An? I've wanted to go there since seeing "The Quiet American".
Are the Prices still on their cocoa pltn in Keravat? I went to school with John and he later did teacher training at ASOPA. We met on campus once at UPNG as he was up for a round of teaching practicums. I guess his mum and dad may have gone to that bigpela ples long antap. There pltn house had the first and only cashew tree I'd ever seen in my life. It's funny what one remembers!
Cheers Pia
Rigolo! Are you back home?
I am going to have a good Waswas before bed tonight, the a hot drink.
Thank you for your comment today, it was great to see your name once more, I look forward to some good natured banter now you are all refreshed from your hols
Nice to see you posting again and that you must have made the trip without any problems.
Tin roofs here cost about twice as much as regular asphalt shingles but they also last up to 50 years and come in all sorts of colors. Dark green is popular now.
I grew up or was born and slept in a room with a tin roof and the rain hitting it would put me to sleep in a minute.
I love the way clothes smell after they have been out on the line...we can't have a clothes line here in Inverness......against code...go figure....hope you had a great trip..can't wait to see some photos!!
My 100th post is Saturday...come for a visit!
Can't wait to hear more about the trip.

Aha- Ms Jules is back :-)

Great photo- I love the term waswas.

Interesting. And do they have wash machines, or do they do it in tubs or in a river? (Gosh, that sounds a dumb question, but I can't help it.)
Jules, it was WONDERFUL talking to you, voice-to-voice, on the phone this morning!!
EVERYBODY....Jules asked me to say " G'DAY " to all of you.
