on travel technology, hacking and everything else

A lot of people can’t believe that Egyptian (and some Iranian) laborers are so strong. I couldn’t get a clear picture of the guy carrying these boxes caz he just ran with them on his back. But that stack of boxes probably weighs a ton, or at least half a ton.
This moment reminded me of the time my folks moved back to India. It took just 2 Iranian guys to carry our piano (packed in a wooden crate) on their back from our first floor flat down to the truck. It took about 15 (or more) Indian guys to lift the same crate down from the truck and then drag it to the front door of our house.
What do these guys eat? And I doubt they work out at any gym. Maybe its the Hommus.
