Monsopiad Cultural Village

Monsopiad is a legendary hero, who collected 42 enemy heads. They're on display in this village, together with various other cultural stuff. They gave us a welcome drink when we arrived, which turned out to be rice wine. It tasted a bit like dry sherry. The principal activities seem to be making rice wine, eating grubs live, and doing dance performances for tourists.

You could have a go with a slingshot (surprisingly difficult) and a blowpipe (surprisingly easy - I got a bird, a monkey and a lizard (targets, not real ones)). Heather got roped into one of the dances, which was quite scary.

Perhaps a blowpipe might be the answer to my problem with local cats molesting the birds in my garden.Alingshot might end up over the fence and concussing a neighbour. Sounds like areally interesting trip, even bat poo and various dropping sound quite exotic !
