It is quite common to see people using the outside space for their private needs. But normally this is kept to a certain limit else they will get a reminder from the property owners or the authorities.

BBQ
Here a guy is using a blow torch to sear some pig feet outside his BBQ shop, which is opposite to the main gate of my residential compound. In this instance, I thought it was not a good idea to do this outside. There are lots of kids and families walking past this area all the time.
Preparing firewood
Here a man is preparing firewood for another bbq shop. I thought this was dangerous because it is a heavily used walkway place behind my local mall.
