I sifted through the several thousand photos taken by a bunch of us this last mission and found a few that do a good job of showing what rural houses look like in Laos. The are above ground wood houses constructed atop stilts. Nicer ones will have single panel wooden walls, but many will simply have woven walls. The houses are raised because is allows for out of the rain storage without having to build an additional structure. Animals are also frequently stored under the house. Many have thatch roofs, but wealthier families with have corrugated metal.
Kids on a log!
It torrentially rained on us one day while we were waiting for the helo to come get us so we hid under a house near the LZ. The pigs, chickens, and goats were in their with us trying to stay dry, but the rain did not deter the kids in the area from coming out hoping we had candy. I am glad that we did that day.
