It is indeed nice to visit. It's also hard to get there, so the locals haven't yet been exposed to heavy tourist traffic. As a result, they still enjoy getting attention and they are likely invite you to their homes to have a look inside -- they also paint the interiors (check the stove above).

AdSR said at 1:10 p.m. on Aug 22, 2007: There are a few women there that either make new stuff or maintain what already exists.
