Description: 2014-06-11: It has been a while since I revisited the Symphony lake by KLCC. Waking up late but to a clear morning, I made my way to the famous Symphony Lake. Arriving on location, the sky was already began to be lighten by the sun's light over the horizon. Alhamdulillah, I was lucky to able to setup my camera and shot a sequence of images for a time lapse session. This image was the 16th of 337 images I took. Feel free to visit my profile below for the time lapse version later.

On the morning of November 14, 2012, for reasons pertaining to bureaucracy and procrastination, i was forced to make a hurried trip out of Thailand and into Laos through a less common border crossing in the Golden Triangle region between these two countries. Due to my own technical error and the stubbornness of a particular Laos policy, I was anticipating obstruction in achieving my goal (I also thought perhaps there would be tigers and opium cartels and Kalashnikovs). Instead all I found was a well-rutted tourist trail of drunken idiot backpackers and the parasitic (though friendly) locals that make a living by exploiting them (and, in this case, me).
This is the unplanned documentation of seven days bound to this unpleasantness, and the attempt to take street pictures that make no mention of the aforementioned unpleasantness.
[disclaimer: this may lose the thread pretty quickly and just degenerate into a "Attempts at SP/PJ while in Laos" series.]

The last tourist operation to run in Lake County, Florida was the Royal Palm Railway Experience (formally known as the Orlando & Northwestern Railway). Located approximately an hour northwest of Orlando, they ran passenger trains between Tavares, Eustis, and Mount Dora on Florida Central trackage from 2017 to 2020. Here is one of their Christmas trains stopped at the Tavares depot with Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum #1912 on point. The depot was constructed in 2013 by the Lake County government for the Orange Blossom Cannonball train, which previously ran on this line with steam power. It is a replica of the 1800's depot which originally stood here and now houses the Lake County History Museum. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that passenger service will ever return to this line.

Girl from the Karen Long Neck Hill Tribe Village, Thailand.
There are various Karen Long Neck villages located between Chiang Mai and the Golden Triangle - that overlaps the mountains of three countries of Southeast Asia: Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.
The Karen are a tribal group who have historically lived in the hills on the Myanmar side of the Thai border. Best recognized for their elongated necks, the Karen women wear heavy brass rings around their necks, forearms, and shins. There are still around 40,000 Karen members today, but thousands have had to flee Burma over the decades due to political unrest. Fleeing to Thailand was a very safe choice for many, but the ones that came are largely illegal immigrants and did not have options for gaining Thai citizenship. But now they are eligible for Thailand citizenship according to the information given by our tour guide.
On one hand it is beautiful they have been able to keep their traditions alive and on the other it is a struggle to balance the new world with the old. While it may seem that the Karen women have unusually long necks, their traditional brass rings actually smash their shoulders and rib cages down just making their necks seem longer. Each time a woman adds a ring to her neck she is fitted with a new neck piece that coils around and around.
The biggest reason why the Karen women put themselves though the neck lengthening routine is simply tradition. While there are some of the women that need to stick with the tradition to make money since they are refugees, there are some of the woman that do it just to hold onto their heritage. In the early days of the Long Necks, the practice of the brass rings was started not just for beauty, but also to protect against tigers attacking their tribe frequently.
