Driving through the small alley of the place where the Amis live felt odd as the modern view on my left - wind turbines, bridges, was a vast contrast from the view on my right which saw village-like houses. This contrast was reinforced by the cultural centre where we had our discussions in.
We were told about the conflict in management between the city government and the central government, and this made me wonder about how much control and rights do the Amis possess when it comes to decision-making.
Today, I went to Naluwan to take a look at the living conditions of the Amis. I went there not knowing what to expect. Was I to expect muddy grounds, with run-down houses? Or should I expect there to be skyscrapers and cemented or tiled floors?
