This is in southern Lombok. I thought I would try a new job skill. It's social, and I like to work out doors, but it would get very tiring all day to thrash rice, then pick up the big piles and move it to storage in the houses. I guess with any farming there is a variety of work throughout the year, according to the season.
It's kind of nice to work without machinery noise, just the baa of goats and talk & laughter of the Sasak people-who are all so friendly.
