weavings hanging up in the market
kids of traditional burmese refugee village w/brass rings around their necks to elongate their necks (supposedly the tradition originated w/ trying to protect women and girl children from tiger attacks. somehow the usual painful-decoration-as-subjugation seems more likely to me...)

oh MY! Well you certainly earn points (in tourist karma) for trying on the tiger protection! Maybe it's best you didn't bring them home. Would set off airport metal detectors, make everyone wait while you take them off...wait, how do you take them on and off?
