7th Dec - Bananas

On the first day I arrived, I noticed these bunches of unripe bananas in the house. I didn't know what it was for. until later, I saw Ban wai (Grandma) pressing it flat and drying it under the sun.

Later, Nhung told me that it was to be put into the rice wine. It is drunk especially to cure back aches.

Pressed, dried, flat Bananas. after about 3 days of drying under the hot sun.
