Once at the market, the students enjoyed buying local Bario salt, rice, and beads. Some of the girls even made their own necklaces. We then went to visit the museum, which explained the local history, the ancient burial places, and the struggles of the soldiers and local warriors during WW2 against the Japanese.
The afternoon, we visited a different farm to learn about where our food comes from. Students harvested their own roots and fruits to bring back for dinner. Afterwards, they had great fun using rice sacks for impromptu races.
We proceeded next to the solar farm, where electricity is produced for the Bario valley. A visit to the very well-stocked library followed before returning to the longhouse for another delicious lunch!
