Another wonderful piece Ari with evocative photos and beautiful writing. It sounds like an intriguing place and that they are trying to make it better. I'd be fascinated to know what is behind the political angle - they are hardly overrun by outsiders so is it generated by fear or perhaps by a sense of having been left behind?

I like the sense of melancholy your writing evokes, while your photographs draw me in to feel I'm there walking the streets with you. Great journalism Ari.
