Only in India #29 and #30

This one is a little dated, but still must be one of the best.

Only in India is the average man that can climb a pole suddenly a professional electrician.


Yes that is a bamboo ladder only halfway up the pole. What skill in climbing he had!


Just like cats, the hardest part is always finding your way down.

This guy was actually one of the few "legitimate" electricians around. He came to hook up our transformer a few months ago (video to follow soon "ensha Allah"- God willing).



This leads us to the seriousness of this plethora of "skilled electricians." Only in India #30:

Only in India does your power go out in the middle of the night for almost a day because someone literally stole the live copper wires from your electrical box. 

The copper stolen might equate around $3-5 on a good day.

(Yes, sadly once again I speaking from experience)
