Similar to what I've seen during my travels in the Philippines ...
That said, I am FAR from what some folk would consider "politically correct" ... but, am not a fan of the term "Third World" ... it implies that the citizens of said countries are somehow inferior. Nothing could be further from the truth ... in the PH I personally witnessed a trio of scrawny guys haul the engine out of a broken down bus on the side of the road, repair it and had the bus on its way in short order! Those guys could've "put an ass in a cat" I'm sure!
Most "western" mechanics would not have that kind of ingenuity ...
"Developing Country" is a better term 😀 👍

Yeah it's just a term people use but when you have politicians running around filling their stomachs from the people's money it's not really a developing country. Aside from that I am a proud citizen of Pakistan and am proud of my people and there way of life even though our lifestyle would go against the morals of the western world.
I would love to spend time with them in their shop, I bet there are so many unassuming treasures!
