Description
This is on the street in Guilin, China. This woman is probably looking for plastic bottles for recycling (to earn money). This is a common means of making some money in China and the Philippines. My wife was trying to throw an empty bottle in a public trash bin, and an old woman grabbed it from her hand before she could deposit it in the garbage. (date: 2004-09-30)
