Haha, bugs are not on my list of things to eat. Thanks, Muriel!

I felt a little better when you said (on another post) you couldn’t eat insects which were for sale. I was served crickets in China at a huge dinner in our honour. I was unable to get myself to eat them. Chuckle. All the best, Muriel

The rings that I tried on were just cut in half ๐Ÿ™‚ The rings only give the illusion of a longer neck, yes it does stretch it out a bit I guess, but really itโ€™s an illusion.

It’s really sad what some people will do to other people. I’m glad you guys were able to help them by buying some stuff. How does the scarf feel? I saw you had some rings on your neck, how did they put them on you?
I did not know it was actually pushing their collarbone down and not stretching their neck out! Thanks for sharing this post.

It’s so sad that things like this happen and people have no choice but to be mistreated just so they won’t be mistreated by someone else…

Yes, the rings can be very damaging to their backs. It collapses their collarbones and their spines as well.

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

I remember a chiropractor talking about studies on them and their backs, and it was so depressing

It is so good to see you’re using your travel and experiences to truly educate yourself and others, instead of abusing these unique privileges. You’re clearly alert, insightful and compassionate. I couldn’t be prouder of you. This is the best blog post I’ve read by you ever.
