Street barber...

Need a barber? turn right... most side streets and neighborhoods have a barber spot.
There you will find a bench, a mirror hanging on a villa or a residential compound wall and a small lamp hanging on top of the mirror. As soon as a customer arrives, the barber turns on his small generator, hooks the electric shaver, turns on the lamp, wraps a dark towel around your shoulders and off he goes dealing with the unwanted hair.
I don't know how much our neighborhood barber charges. I am sure his business is thriving since every time I drive by he is busy. Mind you the barbers' customer base is limited to people walking by; in that respect our barber seem to have found a lucrative low cost corner for himself!
