Last week we had a training in a Dai village in Xishuangbanna. When we arrived at 2 p.m. the village was deserted so we called the village leader. Upon his arrival a few minutes later, he turned on the village speakers, broadcasted a wake-up call which started with a rooster giving his best shot, followed by the announcement of our arrival. Half an hour later, the training room was filled, much to our surprise mainly with women. Later we learned however this wasn't so surprising as in the Dai minority, women play a leading role.

AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
