Dude, i work in North Africa

Here there are thousands of men desperate for work, they sit at the roadside near the junctions, traffic lights , roundabouts, everywhere.

They have paint brushes, hammers, saws in front of them advertising their 'skill' ...... they sit for hours WAITING for some car/truck to stop and offer a low paid manual job like labouring for the day.

I drive past them every day in my company car from my company house to my nice office with aircon.....

BUT, when i goto the bread shop, i pay the same price as they do, and usually if there's a queue, they insist I go to the front......

boy am i humbled.

In Thailand its a bit different for reasons i can't comprehend, altho' you spout out 'rich' v 'poor' as an excuse !

Peace out
