Three-way communication between 3 migrant domestic workers in Beirut

Three-way communication between 3 migrant domestic workers in Beirut. They were shouting to each other, enjoying the privacy of their common language that no one understands, or that if someone understands it, he would be considered part of the "team". Each maid works in a different home, in two buildings in Beirut.

The "phenomena" of maids socializing on the balconies is widespread in Beirut. I notice it in many areas where buildings are close to each other. It's one of their few moments of getting in touch with "the outside world". They seemed pretty ok, not mistreated.
