  • NORTH THAILAND LAST TRIBES <br />
<br />
Most  of  the  people  think  Thailand  hosts  only  one  tribe,  the  vey  famous  long  neck.  Much more  tribes  still  live  in  the  north  of  the  country  with  strong  traditions.  To  reach  them  by road, you’ll  need to like curves : thousands are waiting for you in the hills ! Kor Yor tribe (Kayaw), aka the Big Ears or Long Ears, are of of them. They are called like this as they wear since their youngest age some huge ear rings. Like the Long Necks, they are Karenni refugees from Myanmar. Most of the ones i met are christians,  and  wear  some  Jesus  cross  around  the  neck.  They  are  different  from  the  long Neck  women,  as  they  have  their  own  language  and  traditions.  In  Thailand,  like  the  Long Necks,  they  can  be  seen  in  tourists  villages  that  she  share.  Some  critisize  those  touristic villages but many women told me that thanbks to the tourists they could leave the refugee camp , earn money , and get a better life than just waiting for international aid in the camp.   Lahu  people  live  in  the  mountains  of  China,  Myanmar,  Laos  and  northern  Thailand.The Lahu  people  are  famous  for  their  musical  instruments,  made of  wood  and  bamboo.  Uncle Ja  Yo,  a  famous  musician,    told  me  that  when  he  was  young,  he  used  his  Nor  Ku  Ma  to seduce the girls from the others villages,  playing loud to attire them all a round the valley ! There  are  approximately  30  000  Lahus  now  living  in  Thailand. There  are  four  tribes  within the Lahu: Black, Red, Yellow and She-Leh. I met the Black ones, called like that because of the  black  colors  of  the  women  traditional  clothes  sleeves.  Before,  their  domestic  animals like  chickens,  pigs  and  buffalos  were  kept  in  the  basement  corral  of  their  houses,  but  thai goverment has asked them to separate for health security. So now, you can find 2 villages : one  for  the  humans,  one  for  the  animals  !

There  are  approximately  30  000  Lahus  now  living  in  Thailand. There  are  four  tribes  within the Lahu: Black, Red, Yellow and She-Leh. I met the Black ones, called like that because of the  black  colors  of  the  women  traditional  clothes  sleeves.  Before,  their  domestic  animals like  chickens,  pigs  and  buffalos  were  kept  in  the  basement  corral  of  their  houses,  but  thai goverment has asked them to separate for health security. So now, you can find 2 villages : one  for  the  humans,  one  for  the  animals  !

To  reach  them  by road, you’ll  need to like curves : thousands are waiting for you in the hills ! Kor Yor tribe (Kayaw), aka the Big Ears or Long Ears, are of of them. They are called like this as they wear since their youngest age some huge ear rings. Like the Long Necks, they are Karenni refugees from Myanmar. Most of the ones i met are christians,  and  wear  some  Jesus  cross  around  the  neck.  They  are  different  from  the  long Neck  women,  as  they  have  their  own  language  and  traditions.  In  Thailand,  like  the  Long Necks,  they  can  be  seen  in  tourists  villages  that  she  share.

Lahu  people  live  in  the  mountains  of  China,  Myanmar,  Laos  and  northern  Thailand.The Lahu  people  are  famous  for  their  musical  instruments,  made of  wood  and  bamboo.

There  are  approximately  30  000  Lahus  now  living  in  Thailand. There  are  four  tribes  within the Lahu: Black, Red, Yellow and She-Leh. I met the Black ones, called like that because of the  black  colors  of  the  women  traditional  clothes  sleeves.  Before,  their  domestic  animals like  chickens,  pigs  and  buffalos  were  kept  in  the  basement  corral  of  their  houses,  but  thai goverment has asked them to separate for health security.

They are called like this as they wear since their youngest age some huge ear rings. Like the Long Necks, they are Karenni refugees from Myanmar. Most of the ones i met are christians,  and  wear  some  Jesus  cross  around  the  neck.  They  are  different  from  the  long Neck  women,  as  they  have  their  own  language  and  traditions.  In  Thailand,  like  the  Long Necks,  they  can  be  seen  in  tourists  villages  that  she  share.  Some  critisize  those  touristic villages but many women told me that thanbks to the tourists they could leave the refugee camp , earn money , and get a better life than just waiting for international aid in the camp.   Lahu  people  live  in  the  mountains  of  China,  Myanmar,  Laos  and  northern  Thailand.The Lahu  people  are  famous  for  their  musical  instruments,  made of  wood  and  bamboo.  Uncle Ja  Yo,  a  famous  musician,    told  me  that  when  he  was  young,  he  used  his  Nor  Ku  Ma  to seduce the girls from the others villages,  playing loud to attire them all a round the valley ! There  are  approximately  30  000  Lahus  now  living  in  Thailand. There  are  four  tribes  within the Lahu: Black, Red, Yellow and She-Leh. I met the Black ones, called like that because of the  black  colors  of  the  women  traditional  clothes  sleeves.  Before,  their  domestic  animals like  chickens,  pigs  and  buffalos  were  kept  in  the  basement  corral  of  their  houses,  but  thai goverment has asked them to separate for health security. So now, you can find 2 villages : one  for  the  humans,  one  for  the  animals  !

The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.<br />
<br />
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials — bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.<br />
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.<br />
<br />
“Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment,” wrote The Daily Mail. “Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.”<br />
<br />
“The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water,” Eric Lafforgue told the newspaper.<br />

Women as young as 14 years, working to survive. They count from 2 to 5 per customer. How younger and prettier the girl, how expensive it is. The men visit prostitutes as if they walk in the bakery. Within 5 minutes they're out, the pants still dichtritsend. A hooker in Badia receives about 5 clients per day.<br />
<br />
Many still do not have money for the girls. Some 10 per day to rent for a room tendon and the salary of a square-built bouncer.<br />

The youngest and hottest girls live in Badia, but outside the district. When the sun goes down in Lagos massive music concerns and beer bars are open, these girls in the suburbs in search of the white 'expat-man', often too fat and ugly, but with money. These girls have only one customer per night required for 50 to 100 euro it will go to his house or hotel.<br />

Tens of thousands of HIV positive prostitutes in the slums of Lagos to ensure a rapid spread of the epidemic.<br />
<br />
"If you arrive by car, you can smell the HIV virus outside," joked my driver as we are on track to Badia a criminal slums of Lagos. Badia is a corruption of "Bad Area". Nigerians have a lack of everything, except black humor.<br />
<br />
The poor West African country Nigeria, with a population of 140 million people, after India and South Africa the highest number of people with HIV / AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic in 2000 is estimated to have 800,000 people died in Nigeria. But the worst is yet to come: within 5 years in Nigeria 5 million people die of AIDS. In 2015 there are 10 million.<br />
<br />
In the capital Lagos, the situation is acute: 1.2 million people are infected with the HIV virus - in the Netherlands compared with the population of Amsterdam would be infected.<br />

  • Ethiopian Tribe Recycles Modern Worldís Discards Into Fashion Accessories<br />
<br />
The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.<br />
<br />
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials  bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.<br />
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.<br />
<br />
Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment.<br />
Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.<br />
<br />
The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water, To prevent their headgears from getting spoiled while they sleep (apparently, they never take them off).<br />

Women as young as 14 years, working to survive. They count from 2 to 5 per customer. How younger and prettier the girl, how expensive it is. The men visit prostitutes as if they walk in the bakery. Within 5 minutes they're out, the pants still dichtritsend. A hooker in Badia receives about 5 clients per day.<br />
<br />
Many still do not have money for the girls. Some 10 per day to rent for a room tendon and the salary of a square-built bouncer.<br />

The youngest and hottest girls live in Badia, but outside the district. When the sun goes down in Lagos massive music concerns and beer bars are open, these girls in the suburbs in search of the white 'expat-man', often too fat and ugly, but with money. These girls have only one customer per night required for 50 to 100 euro it will go to his house or hotel.<br />

In 2015 there are 10 million.<br />
<br />
In the capital Lagos, the situation is acute: 1.2 million people are infected with the HIV virus - in the Netherlands compared with the population of Amsterdam would be infected.<br />

Tens of thousands of HIV positive prostitutes in the slums of Lagos to ensure a rapid spread of the epidemic.<br />
<br />
"If you arrive by car, you can smell the HIV virus outside," joked my driver as we are on track to Badia a criminal slums of Lagos. Badia is a corruption of "Bad Area". Nigerians have a lack of everything, except black humor.<br />
<br />
The poor West African country Nigeria, with a population of 140 million people, after India and South Africa the highest number of people with HIV / AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic in 2000 is estimated to have 800,000 people died in Nigeria. But the worst is yet to come: within 5 years in Nigeria 5 million people die of AIDS. In 2015 there are 10 million.<br />
<br />
In the capital Lagos, the situation is acute: 1.2 million people are infected with the HIV virus - in the Netherlands compared with the population of Amsterdam would be infected.<br />
<br />
Two to five dollars<br />
Badia is one of the thousands of slums in Lagos, where both sides of the railroad verzakte prostitutes in small pens getimmerde display of old boards and rusty corrugated life. Women as young as 14 years, working to survive. They count from 2 to 5 per customer. How younger and prettier the girl, how expensive it is. The men visit prostitutes as if they walk in the bakery. Within 5 minutes they're out, the pants still dichtritsend. A hooker in Badia receives about 5 clients per day.<br />
<br />
Many still do not have money for the girls. Some 10 per day to rent for a room tendon and the salary of a square-built bouncer.<br />

  • Ethiopian Tribe Recycles Modern Worldís Discards Into Fashion Accessories<br />
<br />
The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.<br />
<br />
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials  bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.<br />
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.<br />
<br />
Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment.<br />
Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.<br />
<br />
The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water, To prevent their headgears from getting spoiled while they sleep (apparently, they never take them off).<br />
