From Bangkok to the Hill Tribes: A World of Class
I finished this Storyline last night. It is a brief study in cultural contrasts--not so much the contrast between Asia and America--but those found within Thailand itself, primarily in the area of modern architecture and the art of "weaving huts" of the Lahu Tribes near the Burma border.

Hi Tom! I was so excited to get your comment. I watched all of the videos but I enjoyed this one the most because you said it was just you and them and all you shared were smiles and curiousity. Such a simple life that I long for often. No cars, no video games...just simple living. I can't wait to show Ben the videos when he gets home. I want to see if he recognizes parts of a past life. Now I'm going to catch up on POI posts and then post something of my own. Thanks for sharing!
Tracy,
Thanks for leaving a comment. I'm glad Ben will be interested. I loved it over there--brief as my stay was. I was drawn to their simple life. We like camping and it struck me as similar to that, but I can't imagine it during the rainy season when all the roads get washed out and they're stranded in their villages for months. Come again.
