Little hands
We continued the trip by visiting some factories. Sewing, engraving, sculpting, gold leaves flatten and little hands working hard to produce traditional artworks there.

Western societies’ rules obviously don’t apply here and I’m afraid to come back home and don’t understand certains things anymore.
