When I think about ‘old’, the question “what do I want to be like when I am old?” Living in the countryside in north-east of Thailand, I discover that people there live a very long life with many living into their nineties

This is my neighbour, grandma Bee who will be eighty years old this year. She’s very kind and hard working. She accepts life’s misfortune quietly and continues to be cheerful and generous. She has been teaching me a lot about life and how to get old with dignity and self-respect.

Simple life, simple people with simple happiness.

Cheers.
