Then they handed her hands and the village elder gave us chicken with egg, then Akha whiskey (which is as pure water) and a sip of tea, and everything had to be accepted with both hands. Then we were accompanied by Akha murmur series of 3 single thread tied around the wrist and then was allowed to leave the table.

After all had been honored at last evening and again gabs Akha whiskey.
