The Fight!

Ashley’s village is too fun.

We sat at the gele stop this morning, awaiting a gele from Bansang, when two men start yelling at each other [must mention that if they were in America, chances of them being in a nursing home are high]. They start shaking fists at each other and one man yells, “YOU LIKE TO FIGHT! YOU JUST LIKE TO FIGHT!” as he swings his fist at him. It was quite entertaining. The entire village comes running and Ashley & I are just sitting on the bantaba, gaping. Rubben Studdard showed up, trying to get in between the old geezers and instead falls on his rear. Then Ashley’s host brother shows up with a tray full of meat and what was in the middle? A dog paw. He decided to sell them while the fight was going on.

And yet, I find all of this to be completely normal.
