What the creator captured

Mark Wiens was fascinated by the sensory overload of the local market, particularly the diverse influences found in the spice stalls and the variety of dried fish. He was deeply impressed by the communal effort of the villagers in preparing a traditional meal featuring fresh goose, zebu, and pork. The highlight of his visit to the countryside was the rare opportunity to drink warm, frothy milk directly after milking a cow.
