Akha girls crossing a river between BNM and BNG
On my first visit, we got to this treetrunk over a river. I had basic sandals, and a heavy pack, and didn't trust my balance on the tree (especially carrying a camera and laptop in my pack. So I took off my sandals and waded through the river. sitting on the other side to put on my sandals again, I was laughed at by this gaggle of girls crossing the 'bridge'.
