3. These were where they used to live and now getting abandoned.
4. One sign stating "buying the shrimp paste".
5. A pond raising your own fish by a house. Interested?
6. See this classic balcony.
7. On the left is a typical name of a local store.
8. Too bad that I came here too late to try something exotic.
9. Some of them are still inhabited.
