Street Sellers System, Paris, Makers Unknown, photograph by Kel Glaister

The souvenir sellers have this great system, where they put everything on a sheet, but it has its corners tied together with rope, so if the cops come they can just grab the whole thing and run in a second.

Plastic Bag For Sensor, Glasgow,  Maker Unknown, photograph by Kel Glaister

A plastic bag filled with water, hung in front of a light or motion sensor, I think to make it less sensitive. That’s my best guess anyway.

This guy tucked a tissue under his glasses then went to sleep.  It doesn’t appear to block out any light,  so be must have felt it filtered his breath or something?

I went past this guy sitting balanced on a glass bottle, he was watching a card game,  and when I came back twenty minutes later he was still in the same position.

The guys above are using the more comfortable empty plastic bottle on its side. In China people spit all over the place,  so you never sit directly on kerbs or stairs.
