246. Tapa-Cloth Word must have spread because more and more people filled the hut. For the first time, we met a man with a bone through his nose. We waited hours for the rain to stop, but it seemed to be able to keep on for days so we left. The locals use Tapa-cloth, a weave of bark threads, as a kind of raincoat. (Wande, Gulf Province)
