Good points. Those things do seem to argue against my flight attendant idea.

Of course the head coverings could be something that they would normally wear only when out in the sun, and remove when in the airplane.

It’s also possible that covering their head in that manner was a religious or social expectation having nothing to do with indoors versus outdoors.

Something else - the bench they’re on is reminiscent of what people sit on in a bus terminal or train station, and the surroundings in general give me the impression of that type of facility. It could be one of those two things, but it’s also possible that it’s a small airport in a poorer country in an earlier time.

But I’m less and less certain of my “flight attendant” answer.

22

No freakin’ clue. Looking forward to hearing the answer, though.

23

Taiwanese tour guides.

24

Going on recent events the Miami Dolphins defensive line.

25

The first thing that came to my mind was golf caddies.
Either caddies or fly-fishing guides.

26

I’ll guess they’re traffic wardens from Malaysia.

27

31

Members of the Cambodian women’s curling team (the fourth player is taking the picture).

32

I was thinking beekeepers, as the outfit works for it but it didn’t seem like they’d use uniforms.

33

Their job is to sit on a bench all day in an Asian country so that people can take pictures of them.

34

I’m going to go with maids.

Possibly Philippino or Indonesian muslim. It would explain the head coverings, no? It doesn’t explain the pants, of course, but that’s my answer and I’m sticking to it.

35

Prostitutes in Tibet…which was also the title of the much less popular sequel to that Brad Pitt movie.

36

I’d have to go with some kind of civil service. Street cleaners or the like.
