To set up your shoe repair shop on less than a square meter in the middle of the sidewalk while pedestrians squeeze themselves past you, requires a high degree of professionality. Knowing how to bundle your shoe soles in different sizes, where to keep the yarn and glue so you can access it readily. We see hundreds of ways in which men, women and children, in small places or moving in between cars, busses and rickshaws, run their own businesses. Very inventive, and although the streets are full of waste, a lot of it gets recycled. It is a true University of Life.
