    Knitting boys on Taquile - mixture of traditional and modern. There are 3 rules on Taquile - don't steal, don't lie and don't be lazy. So women wave, but man knit (because it's easier than waving). Many tourists visiting the island are told about the traditional customs and offered to buy the knitwear although not all locals wear the traditional clothing. It's a stick with two ends - differences make travelling more interesting, but everyone on Earth must also have equal oportunities and comfort. by: laste Views[713]

    This time, the tourist said NO. “You broke my heart, sir!” says he. If you just decide to give them money, they give you a puzzled look that makes you realize that to save their fragile dignity you must accept a little something of what they are selling. From my India trip, I remember the hot weather and food, the warm colors and people, and the pervasive materialism and spirituality. But what I can’t forget are the incredibly worn eyes of the children of Varanasi. : by alina_pro, Views[1215]
