Recycling as it operates in poorer nations.

I think that's a cow, not a horse!

That is definitely a moo-cow.

This thing looks like an evolved rickshaw. Quite good.

Yea thats Vietnam i think, judging by hte sign in the backgournd. I see plenty of shit like this while i'm over there. You see moterbikes with 6 people on them, cars with doors jammed open, bikes so loaded up you cannot see the driver....crazy stuff =)

Makes sense. The currency over there is just about as worthless as the Italian lira. Maybe more so.

I think a meal which one would plop down a few hundred dollars for in the States ran for several million dong(the Vietnamese currency unit) in 'Nam.

1 million Dongs (viet currancy) is about $100

Their currency is the <i>dong</i>?

Geez I'd be broke, I only have one...

So unless I'm wrong (which could be as my sleep schedule is more out of whack than Paul Reubens with his hands cut off), that means that 1 US dollar is equal to 10,000 Vietnamese dong.

Good God, they're ten times worse off than Italy!
