BURMA • VILLAGE • LUXURY
Says Sergey share: "I warn you, this post will be going wild level of wealth and luxury. I'll show you a real pearl of Southeast Asia - Burma prosperous village.
How is it that in a country where most of the population lives on $ 5 a month, there was this oasis of beauty and glamor? Very simple: a day in Bagan worth a hell of a tough heat and sunshine (even in winter). Tourists languishing in idleness and boredom, waiting for the evening. Local realized that worthless they lie idle, and steel drum to his home for the curious small price. Over time, the business began to take systematic and advanced Burmese began to open small handicraft production. There were souvenir shops, home stores and stuff like that. Income from tourists settle in the village, and in recent years, when the flow of tourists in Burma has grown enormously, residents unremarkable village healed in a big way. To understand the difference between this and the usual village, I recommend to brush up on the previous post, and then come back to it.
