Travelling The Backroads

Sometimes if you wonder down the back alleys of a city you will see it's true heart.  While in Chiang Mai Thailand I wondered down a back alley and found men that were casting and then carving silver bowls.  I asked them how long it took to make a bowl and found out that they could produce about one bowl a day for which they were paid 20 Baht or about one dollar.  In the next street I found a storefront where a man was engraving his store name on the bowl that he said sold for about $35.  I learned that this man provided the silver and paid the meager wages and made a very good profit.
