Are the clothes with fur mad there or are they made somewhere else?<BR/><BR/>I have been really enjoying your pictures, but don't really care for those big birds. They look like they could carry away a small child!!<BR/><BR/>Just curious, but can you play the lottery games there - 649, super 7 etc? <BR/><BR/>What do the majority of the people work at or for? Do they speak mostly english or some other language?<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for helping us "live" the experience along with you -- keep warm -- RosalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18105028.post-1131337819926054982005-11-06T21:30:00.000-07:002005-11-06T21:30:00.000-07:00i think you're right. we wear fur down here for f...i think you're right. we wear fur down here for fashion, not because it's too cold. there are nice fake furs of that look is so important to peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18105028.post-1131326747870010462005-11-06T18:25:00.000-07:002005-11-06T18:25:00.000-07:00Always felt there was some wisdom in,"when in Rome...Always felt there was some wisdom in,"when in Rome, do as the Romans do". Who would know better how to stay warm than those that need to. Stick with the fur or whatever it takes. <BR/>As for the other pics, those are darn big birds. They could carry away some of our squirrels and actually I welcome them to do<BR/>that. <BR/>Take care,<BR/>CKMSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18105028.post-1131303217210044712005-11-06T11:53:00.000-07:002005-11-06T11:53:00.000-07:00I think it goes a little further than just being a...I think it goes a little further than just being a "southern luxury". I'm more against the southern attitude behind it. I would like to think that whoever caught the animal up there put the whole thing to use - for food as well as skin? Necessity, using everything nature provides... it's a whole different lifestyle and attitude. Down here I'm not sure anyone could (or would) tell you what happens to the rest of the animal... dog food? Besides - I'd much rather have you all arrive back south someday - alive and with all your fingers, toes, ears and nose intact!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
