Description:Dara and Muda discuss life in Pa Umor in the past and how it compares to life today. First, Dara discusses some of the games they used to play as children. For example, floating down the river on logs. Another game was selling things in the jungle using the leaves of si'ang flowers as money. She also discusses some of their chores when they came home from school in Bario. These include: pounding rice; helping to dig the rice fields; scaring the birds and fetching water in a bamboo container called a 'tabang'. Subsequently, she talks about how their father used a resin lamps, or 'dawan', for light. Next, her sister Muda discusses her own memories of childhood and many of the fruits that they used to pick in the wild. These include berries from the ilang plant, which they would squish in a bamboo and then eat. Also berries from the si'ang plant, local mangosteen (bua' raku'); bua' sia'; and berries from the uber, tu'er and aap trees. The aap fruit would be squashed into a ball in your hands. As for games, she discusses making "rice" from mud and sliding in troughs, or 'bangeh', down to the river. The following equipment was used: Zoom H4N, Stereo Mic, wind gag. The recording is in stereo and wav format.
