the first picture above show some men pulling on a loaded cart like animals. why don't they use a truck or something to transport their trades? why they still use stone age style of transportation? i don't get it!

Pay attention to the details in the picture. Now, let me ask you this........ Why don't they buy a pair of shoe first huh? Could it be that the gas is too expensive that they have to park their Mercedes? Judging by their loads, do you think that these guys looking forward to returned for another load? Last but not least.... can you see them smiling ears to ears while pulling their load? You get this?

10:03, I hope i don't stumble on it! Make sure you write your initials on it, that way I know that you were there. I'd tried and do the same.
