The Light Festival 1 ๐Ÿฎ Friday

     This weekend was the festival of light.
     On Friday we made fire boats at school.
     On Saturday we explored a paper making and craft village.
     On Sunday we made more at TAEC (Traditional Arts and Ethnology Center).
     Monday was the parade.

     Here are a few pictures of the boats:

Boats made by kids during art at school.

My boat is on the left, Jina's is on the right, and a bean is in the middle.

     The boats are made of banana tree trunks with banana leaves,  flowers ( the traditional orange and yellow chrysanthemums and something from the school garden), and berries. The boats are held together with nails and staples, and the finishing touches are the incense sticks and candles.

     After school, we went to Lao Friends Hospital for Children to hear the french musicians who were performing for the patients. there were several juggling balls and clubs. I'm learning to use juggling balls, but it was fun to try throwing clubs. It's much harder than throwing balls!

Ock Pop Tok (์˜ฅ ํŒ ํ†ก)

A few days ago I went to a Lao cloth shop called Ock Pop Tok. It was started by a Western woman and a Lao woman, working together to preserve the Lao weaving culture. Daddy said that Ock Pop Tok means East Meets West, and they have a workshop where you can see people make the cloth. So we rode a tuk tuk (kind of Taxi) to the workshop.

This is a photo of the spinning wheel used to wind the colored thread onto a spool so you can use it on a loom to weave cloth. The lady turns the crank, which spins the big wheel. The big wheel turns the little spool of thread which is the long skinny orange thing on the left side. Each time the big wheel turns, it spins the spool of thread one hundred times, so you can spin the thread really fast. 




Phase2. WEAVING
๊ณผ์ • 2. ์ง์กฐ

These are some of the colors of thread to choose from.
This is the shuttle, which holds the spools of thread. The weaver slides the shuttle back and forth between the strings on the loom. Some shuttles have one thread, others have two, and some even have three! Actually, if you look closely, you can tell that this shuttle has room for three  spools of thread, but only two are being used.

The looms look very complicated. Here is a video of a woman we saw weaving at a village near Luang Prabang. You can see how she uses the foot pedals to move every other thread up or down, and how she slides the shuttle between them to weave the thread. Then she uses the comb to make sure it is tight. 


Here is a much fancier pattern. This kind takes a lot more work. 
This picture shows which ethnic groups from where make what sort of cloth patterns (and elephants). Ock Pop Tock does about half of their weaving at the workshop and about half is done by women in these villages. 
This is a different kind of  pattern made with white cotton fabric, wax and dye. You use a pen-like thing to make patterns in black wax on the cloth. Then you dye the cloth and then clean off the wax to make white pattern on your cloth where the wax used to be!

The pillow in back shows what it looks like after it is dyed and cleaned. Sometimes the sewing people add beads and things on the bags and clothes like this...

      Asian Elephant facts:
          I learned that elephants eat A LOT of food. In fact, they eat 20 hours a day (sometimes while walking or working)! The other 4 hours they sleep.๐ŸŒ™ An average adult Asian elephant eats about 770 pounds (350 kilograms) and drink 160 liters of water a day. The babies eat sugar cane and the adults eat banana trees. They like to eat the tree trunks, but they can eat any part of the tree.

     Before 1975 many elephants fled Laos or were killed because of toxins and bombings. Only 1,200 elephants were left :(, but now there are more :)!
     Laos used to be called Lan Xang, meaning Land of a Million Elephants.
     All the elephants at the camp are female because male elephants tend to make more trouble, and are harder to control.
      Babies are also mischivious, so they have to wait until they are around two or three years old to see the tourists.

Jina, me, and the four year old baby. She eats only the very inside of the banana tree trunks because it is softer. With Asian Elephants usually only the male elephants have tusks, but for some reason, she has tusks too. The people at the camp said she is 'confused'. If you look closely, you can see them. The tusks are lower than you might think. I read in a book once that elephants, like people, prefer their right or left side. She prefers her left tusk for peeling the outside of the tree trunks. In her mouth you can see the outer part of the inside part of the banana tree, which she pulls off with her tusks and then spits out. I have to admit, she is not exactly a neat eater... there are tree trunk scraps all over the floor!!!

We took turns bathing the elephants, three elephants at a time. You pour water on the elephants back and head, and sometimes the elephant went underwater with just the trunk poking out of the water to let the elephant breathe. That is why Mommy looks like she is swimming. She's actually sitting on her elephant, who's underwater.

 After bathing the elephants, we showered quickly and prepared to go to the waterfall - our next stop, and my next post.

The morning market in Luang Prabang, Laos๐ŸŒ„ ๋ผ์˜ค์Šค ๋ฃจ์•™ํ”„๋ผ๋ฐฉ์˜ ์•„์นจ์‹œ์žฅ

Today is our second day in Luang Prabang, and we wanted to see the morning market. Daddy heard that "the morning market is for locals and the night market is for tourists". We thought that the morning market would be less touristy and it would have more traditional everyday sort of things than the night market, which we had already been to.

Me and the baby corn we bought to eat on the way to the market. The person who sold the corn had a little cook stove to cook the corn on. She gave it to us in bundles of three, with the husks still on them. I think it was steamed.
