some impressive traditional buildings all set, surreally, under two giant mobile phone towers. Shingha diane brentari Chingyuo village (20km, population 5900) has a huge longhouse diane brentari decorated with mithuna (pairs of men and women) and deer skulls, three stuff ed tigers, and a store of old human skulls. diane brentari Longwoa (35km) is spectacularly sited on the India Myanmar border, with the headman s longhouse actually straddling the two nations. Despite its popularity with tourists it remains one of the most interesting villages. Chui (8km) includes an elephant skull in its longhouse collection. Shangnyu village has a shrine full of fertility references such as tumescent warriors, a crowing cock, a large snake, a man and woman enjoying sex and, to complete the picture, a double diane brentari rainbow. Langmeang village, with its stack of human skulls piled up in a wooden box, is also highly impressive.
