...middle of the store sits a cardboard box filled with oversize, bug-eyed sunglasses, straight from the ’70s. On shelves lining the walls are arrayed Marilyn Monroe lunchboxes and statuettes of Elvis Presley standing next to a Harley Davidson motorbike. Behind the counter, a shelf holds fancy hairbrushes, combs and perfumes that can usually be found only in Europe...
...released the first of its bi-annual coffee-table-style "special editions."

Flattened cardboard boxes serve as mattresses. Mangy dogs defecate on the platform surface where fish are sorted from the sea snakes and jellyfish. In the past five years, six boys have died at sea, the victims of accidents and failed escapes. Andy was rescued last July, one of scores of boys who have been removed from the jermals since the International Labor Organization began...
