A New York lawyer went duck hunting in eastern North Carolina. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an older man asked him what he was doing. The lawyer responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, I'm going to retrieve it."
The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything!
The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things here in North Carolina. We settle small disagreements like this with the NC Three-Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the NC three-Kick Rule?"
The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."
The New York attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old southerner. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His next too kicks caused the lawyer so much pain that he just about gave up. However, the New York lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old redneck southerner, now it's my turn." The old North Carolina farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

The guests who stay in my house were having their Day 1 breakfast. There are four students (Alan Lock, Charles, Chris Wong and Petteri Taimi) and one part time supervisor, Andrew McCarthy. All of them came from different nationality which are from New York, Finland, Spain, Chinese and Malaysia. 
All the students, teachers, staff and the local host family were gathering at the community hall for a short briefing of the Day 1 program. The Dragonfly staff were giving them the briefing. 
Finally, he manage to open it but he still have to open again the coconut before he can go to the next process which is the coconut grating :)
After, he had opened the coconut and crush it into two, he and Chase (also the Dragonfly staff) doing the coconut grating in traditional ways. Nowadays, to do the coconut grating is much more easier and fast which it using the coconut grating machine. Let the city boys to it traditional. Hehe :)



The students are trying the traditional instrument. The "gongs" is easy to learn but the "kulintangan" the small sets of gong that perform as the keyboard instrument is really difficult to learn.
Andrew was trying to do the rubber tapping after been brief by the owner. He did managed to tap it and there's latex flowing. After him, there are so many students also rubber tape the tree and in the end it had spoil the tree..too bad for the tree...hahaha
