First sentence: For about two-and-a-half decades, from the early 1970s until the late-1990s, many countries in Southeast Asia transformed their economies, turning their rice paddies into industrial sites, their rubber plantations into housing estates, and their old tin mining pools into aquatic amusement parks.
