A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIVING

I’m always surprised when my friends have no interest in seeing other parts of the world. It’s such an eye opener especially when I here opinions on how other people live. The most common first reaction on seeing some of these countries is how poor they are and they are by our standards. Most want to better themselves and try hard. EVERYONE works, there is no free lunch. Our poor people would easily be middle to upper middle class in most of SE Asia. The surprising thing is how friendly and outreaching the locals are when we meet them.

All products are hand made. We visited a cheroot cottage where the young girls got paid $2.00 a day if they rolled 1000 cheroots.
