Not long after I arrived in Korr I visited a go'ob, the name given to the traditional village. Several families live in go'ob, surrounded by a thorn fence and with smaller thorn enclosures inside for animals. The houses are called mins and are made from acacia tree wood bent into a dome shape. Over these are put fabric, animal skins, cardboard boxes.

I sat on camel hides and it was surpisingly spacious inside. It was also smoky as the fire, on which our chai was brewed, is in the corner.

| Word soon got out that there were visitors and these two children peered in to the min to get a glimpse of the mzungu. |
