Interesting Business Models


It is pretty standard that you buy...


...fruits or...


...vegetables... 


...a combination of both or even shoes...


...or processed fruits somewhere in the streets.

In fact here Colombia you can buy most of your every day needs in the streets. Some of the business models are quite interesting. Not far a way from my hotel is a lady that every day offers you to measure your weight. She stands on a corner of the street with a scale like you can buy in any super market, you pay her 200 Pesos, put yourself on her scale and check your weight. 



Very popular are the "call centers" a stool with a bunch of charged ready to use cell phones, all tied with little cords to the  stool so it would make it difficult to just walk off while talking,  you'd need to pull the whole set up with you. You'll pay between 90 and 200 Pesos and make your calls right there from the streets. 


Pretty standard all over central and south America, food stands of what ever you feel like eating.
