Haha, nice images. It amazes me that people camp out just to get their hands on tech products. It seems to happen with anything Apple releases.
I’d like to see how many of these hipsters would survive in line with our current 113 degree heat.
I like number 20 caption, “Chili peppers laid out to dry, Mandalay, December 23, 2007″. It must have been a hot day or this caption is left over from the “Myanmar-Burma, The Golden Land” caption!!! Since I couldn’t find the email address for the webmaster, I figured the comments were good enough to get this fixed.
Yes you are right, I was a misstake from us. Thank you for pointing it out. We have corrected the caption.
We need more people like yourself to help us proof read.
Thank you.
