Bangman - Here are a couple of shots from Oman, progressing but still very much third world. Wife took the first one before the man had a chance to stand up, push out his chest and pose. The second is of an Indian worker in a Halwah (Omani favorite sweet) factory. He spent his day stirring a large pan of stiff stuff over an open fire with no A/C. After stirring for a couple of hours, he rested during the few minutes it took for other workers to pour the sweet into a mold. Then the process started over. Slavery was alive and well.
