We can use the perfect light, whatever system we would like to, from the ceiling, or just on our hands/book... We also have access to expert eye glasses for correcting. There is just no comparison with so many people in this world!<br />No we both don't think that the customs have to do anything like that. Why not screen it like they do with hand luggage at airports? And yes, a sniffing dog could tell certainly IF something would be inside. This is just abuse of power in a very rude way.<br />Hugs and love back to you all the way from Georgia/USA,<br />Mariette<br />Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-84634697519581283882015-02-26T02:38:27.923-05:002015-02-26T02:38:27.923-05:00Dearest Mariette; First of all, I tried to check ...Dearest Mariette; First of all, I tried to check the word 'Pashmina', reading on you explained it to us :-) Oh, I DO wish their working condition is better (poor young boys!) ; it is not by far fair that I complain my eyestrain from using pc.

Na sua pobreza se eles não estaria fazendo este tipo de trabalho não nem teriam alguma coisa para comer. Qual é a sua alternativa? Quem mais está disposto a alimentá-los...? Pelo menos tentei apoiá-los através da importação de seus ofícios, mas isso é tão pouco. Infelizmente, esta série de posts está tendo um final terrível, hoje à noite eu posto outro, mostrando sua luta pela vida e no dia 27, você pode ler um final mais chocante para esta história.

Yes, what is the alternative if those young kids don't work? Pieter often pointed that out, if you take that away, they have nothing! So true... not easy to solve the world's problems!<br />Can you imagine the person that painstakingly created that papier mâché ball and painted, lacquered it meticulously only to have it brutally cut open by some idiot custom. Why not scan them through?!<br />Yes, I did try to help those people...

Dat zijn geweldige artiesten die zo'n oude handwerken van de 15de eeuw nog in hun vingers hebben. Maar de tussenhandel etc. maken meestal meer geld dan die arme mensen. Voor mij was het al absurd dat de inkoop van hun prachtige spul veel minder was dan b.v. het verzenden. Verzekering betaalde ik ook nog maar dat heeft nóóit gewerkt; dus dat was je er ook nog bij kwijt. Jámmer dat de douane zoiets van vernielingen doet. Dat kan toch wel anders lijkt mij om te checken of er iets in zit!<br />Liefs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-48158192930096943432015-02-24T14:54:32.182-05:002015-02-24T14:54:32.182-05:00Dearest Jim,

It's a bit shocking to see such young kids working in the dark. But I imagine it's just the way it is over there. Pashminas look very soft and beautiful. And those hand crafts are really gorgeous. I feel bad for the people who made the crafts to see some of them cut open like that.
