Thank you for your kind words and engaging comment:) My first visit was indeed little bit of cultural shock, but again l haven't travelled that much before. Now I see things in different light. l was always happy to get back to China. I've spent there lovely time too :)
Over about 3 years I've seen good few factories and conditions there varied. Big suppliers had their workplaces in way better condition, but of course they have higher prices. And for fast fashion, sadly - is all about a price.
With water I think it is more about microbial flora than anything else.
Thank you for your visit @cli4d!
