Did someone told him about « windows » ?

Wow, I didn’t think there’d be two comments saying this. This is about slums in Brazil and the Philippines, you should look up the conditions of the housing the people there live in. This is pretty high on the disconnection from reality scale.

  >Did someone told him about « windows » ?
From the article...

  "Most homes and businesses in the slums of Dhaka have no 
  power and no windows, so 80-90% of them hook up to 
  electricity lines illegally - and fall back on candles or 
  kerosene lamps during regular blackouts."
