So, you find yourself in a big city, with no job.  There are no unemployment benefits, no 'safety net' -- and that's without considering the fact you're in the country illegally.  What to do?

Here in Arequipa, this Bolivian guy simply set himself up as a one-man circus in the intersection.  When the lights turned red, he'd quickly string a rope across the intersection, and... well, why don't we let the video do the talking.

And the aim?  To get the occasional coin from passing motorists!
