Cement

 

It takes five men to mix cement and pour it into forms. Here, they are building a wall along a trench. Cement is mixed by hand and in the road. Hopefully no one gets hit by passing cars.

Koker

 

We got a good picture of an open koker. We have had a lot of rain during the last week. The canals have been full. Here is a koker that is letting the canal water drain out into the river. The tide is low. The river is affected by the ocean tides because it is so close to the ocean. When the tide rises, the koker will be closed to keep the canals from filling with water.

 

This is a large area of rice. The cars have to go around it, just like they have to go around animals.

 

While drying, it has to be stirred up so that the rice on the bottom gets a chance. These men are shuffling through to stir the rice with their feet.

 

Bags of rice from the field, that will be emptied onto the road way to dry.
