  1. I think its kinda interesting that we look at this picture and say WOW when the people from this area or country see it as their norm. I think its also interesting how the difference in the price of capitol in different nations can differ the lifestyles of the people living in it so much

  2. That is really dangerous, it is weird to think that people in other countries can do things that we would never even consider. There are so many differences in the way things are done just to save a buck in other countries.

  3. Wow that is amazing. It is amazing to think that people can put there lives in that much danger to receive wages that are probably low as can be. If this was in America it would probably be seen as ridiculous. However, in countries that do not have as much money, it is understandable that the government would use people for this kind of work because it is way cheaper.
