Aug. 10, 2010



Marni and I are quickly learning that we need to take our camera everywhere we go. Here are just a few things we would take pictures of:

1) An entire family wedged onto a scooter. Oldest child in front, dad driving, mom on the back and a baby squished in between mom and dad. But, to comply with the law, dad is wearing a helmet.

2) People doing everything by hand. Labour is cheap. These guys are thatching the roof of a hut here on campus.

3) The sun. So rarely seen that we may have to take a picture.

4) Street businesses- we have seen everything from noodle vendors, rice dishes and the lot. But, the funniest have to be the spot on the street with an air compressor and some wrenches where you can do some quick fixes on your scooter. Marni saw a guy with a table welded to his motorbike where he attached a sewing machine for some "on the spot tailoring". And, they all come complete with a cat. We are not sure if they are the second course, though.
