Shades of Delhi
Sticks for cleaning teeth/chewing, sold to very low income workers close to Old Delhi station.
Dead skin on the hand of a rickshaw driver - his other hand was similarly worn in the same place.
This gentleman managed to throw the paper into a tree. Is throwing efficient? For whom?
Newspapers delivered over the last meters by throwing, a practice similar in the US.
In the UK newspapers are mostly delivered directly into a home mail box. Why the difference in delivery styles between these cultures? Factors include: the risk of theft; the perceived value of the papers; the size of properties and the location of the mail box on the property; whether gates are locked; the size of mail boxes; the size of papers; a culture of putting other things in the mail box? The risk of being rained on does not appear to be a factor - Seattle probably gets a similar amount of rain to many parts of the UK.
