A shoeshine boy squats outside the coffee shop in Shubramant cleaning the patrons' shoes while they have a tea or coffee and watch the passing scene. Shoeshining is a job that involves little expense and one finds people doing it all over the city. Clean shoes are important and many people prefer to patronise their favourite shoe man at a favourite coffee shop. It helps keep the money circulating.
I used to remember kids doing this when I was growing up. Not any more.
ReplyDeleteihave to say.. i DID admire the mens shoes there when i visited. pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteAloha,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog, I have always wanted to visit Egypt. To many adventure {Indiana Jones} films and novels. Lol.
I have such a love of travel and different cultures. Visiting blogs from around the world helps control my craving to travel.

The only person I saw shining shoes around here is at the airport. One reason may be that most people were sneakers, sandals or flip flop.
