I was told by my informant that this was the first year that the “younger generation” was organizing and cooking the meal, rather than the “grandparent generation”. The informant pictured above is too young to be one of the organizers, but too old to be considered a child, thus leaving her without a place within the family political system. She is seen pouring a drink for an elder as she was forced to take on the “floater” position of entertaining the youth and catering to the elderly.
