Great video. The woman working on the loom. How can anyone do repetitive work. I would go nuts. I need a lot of variety to stay sane. It would be fun to raise silk worms. Whay do they eat?
The silk worms eat Mulberry leaves, the work ethos in Asia is far different than the west these girls and their siblings have a responsibility to take care of their parents. There are no pensions or government funded schemes in Asia and everyone relies on their family for support. To meet those needs they will do anything to make ends meet including marrying much older men and prostitution, I made a mistake of giving a bigger than normal tip to a lovely young waitress who made sure everything was in order over two nights, because on the first night I had no small denominations I told her she would get a decent tip the following night which I did. She took this as an offer of marriage and accepted !!! I had to use all my powers of diplomacy to settle this without her losing face, she understood finally and I learnt a valuable lesson in Thailand. The tip was 50 Thai baht about $2 normally a tip would be 2 or 5 Baht.
@@candyflair7946 She spoke excellent English, I told her I was already married (a lie) and in my country I was only allowed one wife (unlike Asia). I could see a mix of disappointment and relief I think she didn't want to follow the many Thai girls who marry old western men to just get their money and wait for them to die.
