Across the road there was a noodle-making family. When I went to take a picture the woman was resting while the husband scooped pre-noodle mush and put it into the noodle making machine, while the son placed the plates full onto a cabinet of trays behind him.
In the shop next door the women sold things like soda and cheese during the day, and weaved by night. They said they would stay up every night until midnight working on blankets, like the one above, and then wake up around 6 to start work again.
In this village the men leave to work elsewhere, so for the majority of the time only women are around. Also, being a matriarchal society, the leader of the village is a woman. Because the women stay in the village, they keep their traditional dress, while the men out traveling where more modern clothing like suits or button ups and pants.
