National Geographic : 1936 Feb

©Heinz von Perckhammer NOT A JUNGLE SCENE, BUT A BIT OF LIFE IN A CITY OF MORE THAN AMILLION PEOPLE Around a straw fire in the darkness, half-naked, primitive-seeming coolies eye the "watched pot" that never boils. After the tea has cooled, the men will probably pour it out of the spout directly into their mouths, for coolies often do not possess cups. Orientals can squaton their haunches like this for hours at atime.
