While I was looking at the souvenirs, a long necked girl came out and showed me more souvenirs. She was cute with beautiful, long black hair. She looked about my age and could easily have been a student at my school if she didn’t have the ring on her neck. I bought some postcards there and then asked her some questions about the ring. She told me it is one long ring like a spring and it is made from brass. Her one weighed about five kilograms and some people she knows had brass rings weighing as much as twenty kilograms!!! I asked her if her neck really got longer and she said that the ring pushes her collarbone down which makes it look longer. God!!! It would hurt for sure. I could see that she was making every movement very slowly. Before I left I asked her how many tourists came to the village a day. She told me she was not sure but there weren’t more than 50 a day. After we had finished talking, we said goodbye and I went back to meet the lady who took us here.

We went back to the village where we had left our car. We got off the pick up truck. Richard asked me should we give her some money but I said don’t because she was just being kind and anyway she got some commission. Then we walked back to our car. When we arrived at the car, I saw that the lady was walking to us so I thought I had forgotten something in the pick up truck. But she didn’t walk to me, she walked up to Richard and asked for 200 baht. Richard gave it to her. After that, we didn’t think she was a nice lady after all. We drove back to the guesthouse and when we arrived there, I went straight to bed without taking a shower or even washing my face. I was really tired. I lied down on the bed like a dead body.
