TACHILEIK, BURMA
The Chinese will counterfeit anything. A lot of this junk filters into neighboring countries through border towns like Tachileik, and people buy it even though they know it’s fake. This is less of a problem with Playstations than, say, medicine.
Thailand, which is intent on something approaching development, wants nothing to do with any of this and searches buses returning from the border. They’re cool with things like Myanmar Rum and fake sunglasses, but god forbid you should be caught with any of this:
Heh. “It’s just not a game anymore!!” That doesn’t sound particularly positive…
Haha, totally. I didn’t even see that till I went to resize the picture. It sounds like a line out of an anti-drug after school special, when Jenny and her friends start to realize heroin isn’t just fun and games anymore…
