further evidence, if you needed it, that technology is doing weird shit to the world, part 1 in a series

I just chatted with a friend of mine who's in China, in the middle of a rice paddy. in this house, to be precise. Which is, I think, in Guangxi province, near a place called Guilin.

Meanwhile, two villages down, people are wearing their ancestors' hair on their head.

This is a beautiful thing.
