Photos of the week

     One of the things I love about working in other places is seeing how people work with their environment, do whatever they have to do to make a living and to survive. They always make for great moments of real life in other cultures...

     In Brazil, I came across the bike repair shop where the owner was performing his duties in front of his home on the sidewalk, fixing flats and making other, more in-depth repairs.

     In Cambodia it was the roadside barber, trimming a little boy's hair as traffic rushed by.
It's the wooden bike, or the soccer ball made out of discarded plastic bags and string, making due with whatever they have for work and for play. Its the rich spice of international work when you get off the beaten path and get a glimpse of how others handle life.
