The things people do....

It may be just to earn a living or simply doing at leisure.. it costs RM5 per piece. He squats there & was totally engrossed in making the basket with nothing else but old NEWSPAPERS.... No wires, no double-sided tapes or any materials. He made all these from scratch just using pieces of newspapers... When we praised him, he just nodded with a smile across his face & turned his concentration back to what he was doing. I'm touched by the scene I saw.

Ya but straws & cans are made of a harder & firmer material so more or less it can be used to make stuff. But newspapers lor... still very very impressed.
