Visited a Tanzania Maasai Tribe in Ngorongoro. This Maasai tribe came here 7 years ago, and decided to stay for its nice weather and rich land. 10 facts of this tribe I learned. 
1. All women shave their head bald after they got married or gave birth to kid to show their status. 
2. Jumping dance is the a tradition here for both man and woman. Whoever jumps higher will be in advantage when bargain marriage dowry. 
3. woman builds her own shelter before marriage, and lives there with her kids entire life after marriage. Men built the fence around the village to keep wild animals away. 
4. Two meals a day, only eat beef, milk, and blood. 
5. Polygamy is in practice, a man has 3 or 4 wives normally. The guy who has the most wives in this tribe had 18 wives, 75 kids and more than 200 grandkids 
6. All young man will need to live by himself outside the village in Wilderness independently from 18 to 28 years old to train himself to be a warrior. He comes back to village when he reach 29, and get married. 
7 The average life span in this tribe is 60-65.
8 Sky burial is in practice. When people are nearly death, the body will be laid flat in Wilderness with big stone tie on the foot. He or she will be considered death if the next day, the stone stayed in same spot. The body will be eaten by scavenging animals.
9 Local government provide school for 3-7 years old kids. Kids older than 7 years will be sent to boarding school in the city. For specially talented kids, government will sponsor all the way to finish schooling. 
10 The former Prime Minister of Tanzania is from a Maasai Tribe, who is consider nationally the best Prime Minister in the Tanzania history. 

Ngorongoro 火山口有几个古老的马赛游牧村落。7年前这些马赛人到了火山口，看到草肥水美，就再没搬家了。
1 一进村就发现怎么女的都光头，先生都有发型。问了才知道妇女一旦结婚或生孩子就剃光头以示身份。
2 进村先得跳舞，这种蹦高舞男女皆宜。蹦得越高娶亲谈嫁妆时越有优势。
3 村子由一圈十来个房子组成。房子由是新娘结婚前自己亲手建的，用树枝搭架子，篱笆墙上糊泥防雨防风，婚后就是自己的住所了。男人负责搭建村子的篱笆墙防止野兽捣乱。弯腰进屋坐坐，屋子中央是一个泥土垒成的火盆，做饭取暖都是它了。靠墙两张床拼成L型。一个睡成人一个床睡四个孩子。我在床边坐了坐，不平，没敢往里坐，怕坐塌了。其他啥也没有，也没地方再放什么了。
他们一天吃两顿饭，只吃牛肉，牛奶和牛血。不吃任何蔬菜和水果。
4 目前还是一夫多妻制，给我们讲解的人说他有6个孩子，两个妻子，听上去好像是平均分配老公的时间，昨晚跟这个老婆睡，今晚轮到另一个老婆家住。一般是3-4个老婆。 最多的一位娶了18个老婆，75个孩子，200多个孙子孙女。 
5 马赛的青年男子18岁到28岁要独立在外生活10年，培养自己的warrior能力和精神，到29岁回村娶妻养子。
6 成年男子放牧保家，妇女负责做饭，挤牛奶，没事还做点小工艺品
7 马赛人平均寿命60-65岁。
8 类似天葬，临终前被送原野里平躺，把腿上系上大石块。第二天亲属回来查看石块是否原封不动以确认死亡。一般秃鹰和鬣狗会分食尸体。
9 政府资助马赛人给每个村落建3-7岁孩子的幼儿园学前班。孩子们7岁后就要去上城市的寄宿学校了。特别优秀的孩子政府会一直资助学业。
10 前任坦桑尼亚总理就是马赛人，据说还是史上最好的总理。
