Steen: Three Little Pigs' Houses

No, Erin and I are not the three little pigs, although we are always hungries (or super full, sometimes that happens, too, since meals here are so big).

I think of the best way of describing housing construction here as the three little pigs. I've never been anywhere quite like it. There much to say/analyze about it with regards to poverty and inequalities, but for now, I will show you in pictures.

First, there is the STRAW HUT: (this one is also made with cardboard and clear plastic tarp)



Then there is the WOOD BRANCH/MUD HUT: (okay, this doesn't quite fit, but it should be included. Imagine skinny tree branches stacked like Lincoln logs and then filled in with mud/clay).

Then, there is the WOOD HUT: (on the left; probably a kiosk and not a house; made of planks of timber)


Finally, there is the BRICK HOUSE: (with a nice metal roof; probably no other insulation or amenities)

Welcome home?
