In the tent, neighbors visiting. The wooden box in the middle contains ingredients for making sampa (traditional sweet food). On the left is the pile of dry yak dung used for heating the oven. Left side of the tent was kitchen and working area and right side sleeping and sitting area with mats on the ground. In the evening when eating or later when just enjoying the evening, women always stayed at the left side.
