=3E Nikom in Thailand, off to tell the boys to throw another
=3E tire in the kiln.
very funny. cute finish.
nikom, it's different culture, different custom.
so, your neighbors find tire-firing more friendly? (it smells bad.)
btw, there is a very charming picture book about japanese packaging:
=22How to Wrap Five More Eggs : Traditional Japanese Packaging.=22
japanese may be very slow in adapting =22heartless=22 (grin) packaging.
but they are working hard: japanese population is decreasing and
decreasing: the best solution to =22the population bomb=22 problem.

"it's different culture, different custom"

Of course, the West doesn't have all that much to brag about - and -
Thailand is far from sainthood!
