I’ve seen this field used by women to wash clothes, and on the weekend used by men to play volleyball.

Volleyball 2

Lots of bystanders watching the game from all sides and heights.

Volleyball 5

This girl was playing on the sidelines with her own ball. I think she might have wanted to join in.

Volleyball 3

Just watch out when walking by: one shot hit a girl on the road, another ball almost got flattened by a truck, and I had to protect my camera multiple times.

Volleyball B

Volleyball B2

Another road, another game.

These two sets of sisters were playing a jumping game with what looked like a several long rubber bands cut apart, stretched, and tied to themselves to form a ring.

I’m not sure, but it looked like while the garter is stretched around two people you stand on one end but jump onto the other, but I feel like I am missing something. They called it “Chinese Garter”.
