“A little money spoils the body, and a lot of money spoils the soul. A man is in great trouble... What is he going to keep his soul in if he corrupts his body? And what should he keep in a healthy body if he is left without a soul?”
This aphorism by a famous Serbian writer and radio host, Dushan Radovic, came into my mind after I visited Katon Karagay in Eastern Kazakhstan and talked to the people developing tourism there.
