Random useless fact about Guatemalans: we use the word "coche" with the meaning of "pig", derived from a Mayan vocable. The rest of the Spanish world use that word for "car", apparently derived from a Hungarian word (same root for the English word "coach", meaning "large kind of carriage"source).
Basically, when someone from another country talks about cars, I picture people driving pigs.

That explains why people keep coming over for chicken nuggets

what about the house in the background?Build, skin colour, fashion, everything looks to me like a Quechua guy riding a pig with an Asian tourist taking a picture. I'm sticking with my original comment.
You post on dtr? Cool? Honestly, I don't know who posts there and who doesn't.
I actually read that site quite a bit but its mostly because a lot of the people I used to interact with on MTGS are over there.
It should be a privilege to post here

Riding my hog: Farmer rides his pig to market after illness
An elderly man who has raised pigs for 30 years has been seen riding his pig around streets and towns in China, after becoming too sick to walk.
The 68-year-old pig farmer from Chongqing in China rides a hog which weighs 250 kg and stands at about 3 feet tall.
He started riding it when an attack of bronchitis made him too sick to walk, which made him attempt to ride the pig.
The man has herded pigs for 30 years, and is commonly known as a 'swineherd', an older term for pig farmer that has disappeared into obscurity with the passing of time.
He was originally skeptical that his idea would pay off, but after giving it a go, he found that it was a lot smoother than he thought it would be.
After his realisation, he started riding the pig everywhere, from his house to market, to around the town.
China is the world’s largest pork consumer and half
of the world’s pigs – nearly 480 million – are kept there.
Last year the US’s largest pork producing company, Smithfields Farms, was bought by a Chinese company for £4.2billion.
The man can be seen in all weathers, donning an umbrella when the weather would cause most to travel via car.
Thanks to the pig being a sustainable vehicle, all he needs to keep going is a little bit of fuel for the pig in the form of some lettuce or scraps.
This probably makes the pig far cheaper than a regular vehicle, and much more eco-friendly.
While the 68-year old is able to walk, he much prefers riding his hog around town.
