Glad to get out of the village...
 

Staying in the village and seeing this ceremony was indeed an amzing experience, but it was testing at the same time. We were supposed to leave after 5 nights, but due to the weather, our plane wasnt able to pick us up. What made it worse was the idea of the hotel that awaited us back in the town...

Hehehe....You replied too quick Doc, I hadnt finished posting the rest of the pics yet!

I do really love my job, especially on trips like this, but it is not always this exciting.

That scar initiation process looks incredibly painful.

Do all the men in the community have to go through that process?

You lucky, lucky bastard!

What was it like during the ceremony?
