<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 8046565, member: 78949"]Any, everything you said is correct with the remark that Western (incl. Bulgarian) girls since long ago don't bring water in buckets as there are water supply systems even in the smallest villages, at least for the last 80 years. While in Afghanistan and in other poor agricultural (as opposed to industrialized) societies they still do it, and not only it but various other types of hard physical labour. No matter how exactly it is done as a result they are physically very strong, all parts of their bodies. Their way of living requires from them to be otherwise they cannot survive in those conditions. So I still don't see a problem for them to wear heavy ethic jewelry. While for Western women I do see a problem, they long ago stopped doing hard physical work. IMO, there is difference if you go to the fitness for exercise a couple of times a week and if you do what women from poor countries do from dawn to dusk 7 days a week.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I said about Bulgaria is based on accounts from 80-100 years ago and some childhood memories, also quite long ago when I was given my Granny's kobilitsa to try.
