A group of us went to buy some candles at a factory & had the privilege of being able to see the area in which they make the candles. One of the ladies that came with us spoke Chinese & translated what the owner told her. It is amazing to see the detailed work they do with very little equipment. The factory is large but filled with tables & people - making it a crowded environment to work in. The workers were very excited to see a bunch of expats watching them.
Candle molds
Some pretty poor working
conditions
Big tanks of hot wax
These ladies inspected each candle for defects
I had such a great time seeing how the candles were made in this part of the world. It amazes me that with such little equipment & poor working conditions, that they can produce the most beautiful candles for a fraction of the cost.

Interesing! You are right - the working conditions seem less than perfect - yet you said the candles are just beautiful. Is this like "simpler is better"? Did you buy any?
