    This place reminds of Mizoram, India too where I stayed for some time. Nepali people also like to stay in Mizoram also. They carry the baskets in Mizoram too traditionally and farm similarly. I love this simple style of life, seems rewarding but hard work. Instead of going to the expat communities for remote work, nice to go to these places, sometimes they do have alright Wifi.

    Mate if you ever come back to the Philippines you can rent a motorbike and have a road trip to Baler on the north of Luzon. I've heard in one of you Q and A that you used to surf a lot, well, Baler is the birthplace of Philippine surfing. the roads are fully cemented so you won't struggle like this and there are a lot of zigzag roads and cliffs and the scenery is just insane. it's a must do when you're in the Philippines.

    Great one Ben, really reminds one to be grateful for some things we take for granted.
    On another note though, why not walk the goats up to the leaves to eat!? Then put baskets on the goats to carry leaves back down for later too? And those leaf baskets... no shoulder straps? Just ALL NECK? Wouldn't shoulder + head spread the load better? You are a trooper carrying that thing 30 minutes down to the village.
    They should just harness up the goats with baskets they are great pack animals, I mean think about it... the goats get to laze around while the humans bring leaves from 30 minutes away! Something isn't right with that picture!
