headhunter ponders his options
It seemed like a good idea when I ask this headhunter to post for a picture. Then I got worried when I noticed a gleam in his eyes as if he were suddenly having a flashback and considering the possibility of recapturing the glory of a youthful warrior who once took three heads in battle.
After convincing him my head was too big to fit in his pot, I got Langang to demonstrate the best way to approach your enemy in battle. However Langang doesn’t trust me with a real machete, so I’m left holding a casava root. Afterwards I’m in charge of making the tapioca.
