RE: #Aseanhive Challenge #143: let's go for a walk/ My entry - My Happy Walk

Going into a hike on a perfect sunny day is a perfect thing to do! Also, a lot of interesting things happened during your hike. I didn’t expect that there are some people who are still doing laundry at rivers, that sounds a bit fun, especially when you’re doing laundry together with your neighbors and having conversations.

Yes, in the countryside you will still see women washing clothes in the river. For them it's a blessing having abundant water and they enjoy what their doing. I guess it's just a matter of preference. A perfect way to have a family and friends/neighbors bonding as well. For some few Others, those who are really living in poverty who can't afford to buy washing machines and don't have their own waterline as well, they have no choice but to do laundry in the river even if it's really hard work.
But, hey that's how we survive.
I am just so grateful that I am not in their shoes. These women are also from our local tribes. Some still live like as their forefathers have but for some they have adapted and have evolved, even having their kids educated and go to school, graduate in college.
