On our second day trekking we were supposed to do an activity with Akha people. They told us the example was gathering fresh vegetables and helping to cook. Instead, our guide seemed to be semi-making it up as he went along. We came across some farmers who were watering beans, and he instructed us to help them water, using a flimsy hollowed-out gourd. (The farmers, using a plastic ladle, were much faster). When we arrived in the village, the guide made eggs and instant noodles. Still can't figure out if this was a joke on us or not.
