This woman was captured on her "balcony" in Xishuangbanna in 1993. We visited various villages in Xishuangbanna and were invited into people's homes on a couple of occasions. The people were extremely welcoming and friendly to strangers and made us feel welcome. We had very interesting chats with them in my limited Chinese and gave the children some fruit. I couldn't help thinking that if these people came to the West to visit us they would not be treated in the same way.
