I took this to show what a fold-away shop looks like.  The roof becomes the front wall, and can be locked.  While the seats fit just snugly inside. And the pavement can be used again.  Space is at quite a premium here - and is probably expensive.  Many barbers cut hair just on the pavement, in the open.  We in the West are so used to huge luxurious thinking, we can hardly imagine it's possible to organise our lives far more simply!

I also took the picture cos I liked the way it seems the barber is about to slit his throat!
