One thing I've found about third world villages is the number of children running around.  They are always playing and making noise.  I like to see this as it shows a creativity that many more "developed" places lack.  In Mengino, they lack the modern, technological distractions that are prevalent in the west.  As such, the kids make their own games and fun with whatever is around.  Oh, the other thing, kids everywhere love to ham it up for you.
