On the way to a dinner invitation, I was not pay particular attention to where I was walking. I was following and talking to Justin as we made a shortcut from the Bulape Cultural Center. We were headed to the house of the hospital administrator, Mr. Joseph. About halfway to his house, I encountered the biggest hole I have ever seen.
You have to watch your step or watch where you are walking when cutting between the houses in Bulape. Because you could easily fall into a hole. But this hole was like a crater.
It is common practice to use the mud close to the house you are building. So depending on the size of your house and its newest of your house the hole could be quite big.
Obviously, this person had used mud from the hole to build multiple houses. Probably, they were built for family members. It would have been wiser to use several smaller holes. One hole could have been used for the latrine or multiple latrines and the other for trash as usual. However, I think this hole would not be filled by trash before it is time to rebuild their houses.
Thatched roofed and mud walled houses do not last but about 3-5 years depending on the weather.
