Chinese 2.0

This is from a few days ago, but I thought I'd post it anyways.

Chinese Workers 4

It was cold, so they made a small fire, boiled some water and had some precooked noodles.

Got Milk?

Romanian farmers are no longer allowed to sell milk and cheese in public markets, unless they prove their facilities abide by EU (European Union) standards.
