The next "story" is not a local one; I just saw it on film in TV; but it is so creative (it has nothing to envy to the ones we find in Perú) that I would like to share with you all:
It happens that in Thailand, local merchants keep small birds in nice and colorful birdcages at the popular markets anywhere for the (unaware!) tourists to buy them and get for themselves the "pride and joy" of liberating inmediatly them to the nature on a near bridge or special spot where they can see the "finally freed bird" fly away as they had been supposed to be always! After all, paying, perhaps five or ten dollars for each bird-to-be-free, is nothing against the pleasure of liberating them over a special spot where you can even take a photograph to help remember of such a magnificent moment!
But what those tourists don't know (until it is too late!!) is that those "poor birds" have been trained to come back, as soon as being released, to the cages of the merchant from where they were taken for you to buy them, so that he will sell them again soon, to another "lost" tourist, and the circle starts again, and again, ......
