The family we visited today lives in wooden house. Inside the rooms, there are two big barrels with rice and corn respectively. For cooking, they burn the firewood as heating. For drying clothes, they put all the clothes on the woods which are across the house between two walls. Also, there are three piles of books on the shelf. For religion, they were religious, because the pictures of god on the walls are available easily; especially there is a small temple in the corner of the rooms. And they think all kinds of religions are equal, and can be contacted.

About the physical examination, there are two serious problems. One is the tooth decay and dental calculus, which might cause periodontal disease. The other one is the father's eye vision is only 0.6 and 0.7 for left and right respectively. His vision has got worse since he was 45 years old, 13 years ago. The father is curious about his vision problems. And he also asked whether drinking alcohol is healthy or not. The more they want to learn was Dengue fever, because there are lots of mosquitoes in and around their house.

Postscript

As soon as we entered their yard, we found that there were lots of empty beer bottles. We assumed they were collected for exchanging money. However, until he asked about alcohol, we discovered his drinking habit. Besides, to our surprise, as a Hindu, he had two wives, but lived in a harmony. There was always something special waited for us to discover. 
