An ancient tradion

The Kayan are an ethnic minority of Burma (Myanmar). The Kayan Lahwi is the group whose women identify themselves by wearing large neck rings, brass coils that are placed around the neck.
Girls first start to wear rings when they are around five years old. Over the years the coil is replaced by a longer one and more turns are added. (some can weigh around 5 kg).

The Kayan live in the hills in Northern Thailand in the provence of Mae Hong Son. In the late 1980's due to a conflict with the military regime in Burma, many Kayan tribes fled to the Thai border. Among the refugee camps set up there was a Long neck section, which became a tourist site, self-sufficient on tourist revenue and not needing financial assistance.

Wrestler training in a gym (Akhara) behind Assi Ghat in Varanasi.
A part of the heavy training is to lift this 40 kg ring of cement above his head and keep it there for as long as he can.

When I was in Varanasi there was no wrestling compititions but i was happy to spent some time watching the man practise and train.

Traditional Indian wrestling is not just a sport, it's an ancient subculture where wrestlers live and train together and follow strict rules on everything, from what they can eat to what they can do in there spare time.
Drinking, smoking and even sex are off limits.
The focus is on living a pure life, building strength and honing their wrestling skills.

ladies selling snacks

Cockfighting is a man's sport but there are always ladies showing up to sell snacks and drinks to the spectators.

Cockfighting, the Bingo game of the third World.
In 1981 the government of Indonesia, declared that all forms of gambling, including cockfighting, would be illegal. The results of this law is that the practice is less obvious but still very real.
