My wife is Filipina. In the Philippines, there are specialists all over the place that keep things running long after they have any right to. That could be ancient computer parts, motorcycle engines, tires... If you can imagine it, they can repair it. Good luck finding that ethic here in the West! We're incredibly wasteful.

I miss the 1980's repair shops in Portugal, although they seem to be having a comeback.

In Germany, repair cafés are quite common.
