Aizuto.
In the land of the Sema tribe – the village so influenced by Anderson Clarke and his work at the Theological college. Lovely to chance upon the college choir practicing. They must be fed something special. Everyone in the area sings so well – everyone sings at the church and have distinctly practiced voices.

The highlight clearly being the self invited ‘chai’ at the 99 year old lady’s house. Love the conversations without common language – a lot of laughing! Felt so special in the evening with the students of the Anderson College putting up the cultural show for us. Awesome harmony with about 80 students singing around the fire, till we all waited for the big tree in the middle of the fire to collapse…

Love the unconditional piety, cleanliness and voices of people here.
Found out that the people here bury their loved ones right next to the house, maintaining proximity and convenience to take care of the graves.
