While many countries continually debate the best age for retirement, usually in the 60-65 range, in some parts of the world people just don’t stop working. Some of the people who don’t are the hill tribes in Thailand, and at the Lisu village we found an 80-year-old hard at work weaving fabric to supplement their meager income from growing corn.
80-Year-Old still hard at work!

This footage was taken when we were in Thailand, we are now in Singapore.
Today it has been raining nonstop, and it has rained in my heart too. My beloved aunt breathed her last and everyone was with her when she went. Life is short, so I hope everyone gets a chance to do what they really want in life.

Hey grace you said that the product that you purchase is not made in China but the cotton is from china, so it is made from china.
Lol
Then again, maybe the cotton is only strung in China but grown in the US
Welcome to globalization!
I think they depend mostly on tourism for their main income.
