Making Rice Paper
This lady was making rice paper here two years ago. Some things never change.

Puffing Rice
Rice is heated in a pan full of black sand. The sand causes the rice to heat evenly and faster. After puffing the rice is seperated with a screen.

Pottery
A place new to the tour this year is a factory where pottery is being made. They also make bricks. The work is mostly manual labor. Any equipment is antiquated.
