Life Cycle

I always feels sorry for all the little kids I see interior.  They always look so bored.  Many children seem to just lurk in the doorways of their houses as though there is an invisible barrier to venturing out any farther.

This girl was a little braver, and made it all the way out to the porch.  She still had that mad/bored look about her.

I heard there was a young man that had died the day before.  Sure enough, as I walked through Kunyi, his casket was being built.  No sooner was it finished and his corpse put in it and he was taken to the cemetery to be buried. Just like in the Wild West.   Usually in 24 hours or less, a corpse is buried.  No such thing as a mortuary and embalming here.
