See-saw

Upon entering the 'village' the first thing we saw was a big crowd of people and a woman in a pink dress flying in the air.

This woman, with the help of a willing participant, was demonstrating the traditional see-saw. A long plank of wood is balanced by a sack of eg rice, and one person STANDS (NOT SITS) on each end. Taking in turns to jump, the result is each person being elevated up to 1.5M, and then having to land perfectly on the plank. Looked like good fun, but I did not trust myself to land how I should nor where I should.
