There Has Been an Error in Your Favour, Proceed to Go and Collect 2000 Bamboo Plants

Things appear to move at different paces in this part of the world.  On the roads there is a lot of slow and  very slow traffic. Interspersed  with this are people in vehicles who are in a real hurry. The combination is not always a good one.

Similarly some projects appear to crawl whilst others sprint. Roading and drainage can seemingly  inch along towards completion whilst some  houses are built in weeks.

When the light is green things can move quickly.  Early on  in our stay we learnt of a resurvey taking place on the rubber plantation. Apparently BTNC had more land than originally thought but it was taking some time for the resurvey to be agreed and signed off by officials. Once this was done project bamboo was away. Approval for funding was obtained from Hands Across the Water and earthworks undertaken. One week we were erecting a shade house, the next unloading 2000 bamboo plants to be grown for their edible shoots.

We were given the honour of planting the first two plants. The planting continues in the weekends.

Do these people eat roots, shoots and leaves?
