Great photos. I like many things about Asian cultures, but one of the things I like best is that they revere their elderly people. Their elderly remain very much a vital part of society instead of being shunted aside like they all-too-often are here. Other than our own parents (sometimes), we often treat the elderly almost as an alien species instead of examples of the road we’ll all travel if we live long enough.
Same here, NordP.
