A natural dock at Old Fangak. Residents cross an arm of the Phow River and dock to get to the city. The children come to swim or to bathe, while further, it is the women who make their ablutions out of sight and return home, with a bucket of water on their head. This water will be used for domestic tasks.

Un quai naturel à Old Fangak. Des habitants y traversent un bras de la rivière Phow et accostent pour se rendre à la ville. Les enfants viennent s’y laver ou s’y baigner, tandis que plus loin, ce sont les femmes qui à l’abri des regards font leurs ablutions et rentrent chez elle, un baquet d’eau sur la tête. Cette eau servira aux tâches domestiques.
