They get gold rings around their neck to show other people who they are and where they are from (identity), and it is a sign that says that they will marry only in their tribe.
Then they can choose when they get their next one put on. The way they are put on is, it is one big spiral of rings, and they just tighten them around the neck to stretch the skin and muscle on their neck. They also get rings on their knees, wrists, around the rib cage.
People think that if they take the rings off the neck, the weight of the head is so heavy that the neck can't hold it, so the neck will just break. All this is wrong. The women of the 'Kayan Traibe' take their rings off all the time so they can look after the skin on their neck and make sure that their neck is healthy. The rings on their neck seems REALLY long but it is actually not, the rings around their ribs cage pushes their neck up to look like it is longer then an average neck.
In my opinion I think that the women of the 'Kayan Tribe' are very beautiful because, of the way that they believe in something very strongly and it is their way of life.I have never had a way of life that I have stuck to and had a strong belief in. So to read and look up websites on their culture and to explore what they believe in is just so beautiful and amazing. That is why I think that the 'Kayan Tribe' is very, very beautiful. I hope you can enjoy the beauty in their culture as much as I have.
This is a wonderful post! Interesting and some beautiful images, but what is just wonderful is your final paragraph. Your own ideas and the analysis work really well. I think it is interesting that you have gone from physical beauty being aesthetic to something that is less tangible, I look forward to seeing more of this in your posts. You might also like to challenge yourself with some more sophisticated vocabulary, but this is a good start! Well done!
