I think I have some analog photos, but I never scanned them in. Anyhow, there were five tribes, so I don't remember specifics about the Karen, and these might be about the other tribes.

Details: we were told to bring gifts for the women & children, but not for the men. For the women, only threads & needles for sewing. For the kids, just wrapped candy.

When we got there, the kids all got together and sang for us. Then they said, "OK, now you sing to us!" The rest of the group was British, so the only song they all knew was "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."

They had a big hut that the tourists slept in. After dinner, the women would bring out their crafts and sell them to us.

It's not true that roosters crow when the sun comes up. They crow when it's still dark.
