A thought

Picture this. You're a 40+ male. As far as I can tell, you have 5 choices to fill your day. You could be one of the educated few who had a good and lucrative job with one of the oil companies, in which case your children probably attend ILA and you live in a beautiful house and/or another one which you rent it out to the teachers who teach your children. Second you could own a motorbike, on which you spend most of your time either at the boat dock waiting for tourists to come and request a journy to a hotel or, if you're lucky, and tour around town. You have a nomadic lifestyle basically because you just hang out all day and wait for someone to request your services. Third you could onw a store with your family (a grocery, phone store, restaurant or any typical store) and you work at that with your family for many many hours a day. You could also be a labourer, fixing houses or motorcycles, where your services are almost always needed, and your time is worth piddly. And lastly you could be a cyclo driver, which means a cyclo and a couple changes of clothes are probably the only things you own in this world, and the cyclo is not only your job, but your home and bed as well.
Of course, for any of these people (except the oil company men) it is completely acceptable for them to take a 'break' from their job, and play a game of chinese checkers (or whatever game groups of men play in this country) on the sidewalk of any street they so desire. these groups of men are frequently obvious, and seem to enjoy these games, that they play every day, immensely.
Oh what a society.
Enjoy.
