On the way to the bazaar you walk down this road and at one part there are these tent things made out of old tarps and stuff where these homeless people live and its so sad because there are 4 kids all below what looks like the age of 7 and they are so cute and I always feel terrible when I walk by knowing that I get to go back to a warm bed and if it rains I don't have to be out in it and I have so much stuff that I don't really need that they could use. Anyway I just always feel really sad. But that's india. I don't know if I told you this but when we were in Dehli I have never seen so much poverty in my life. The morning we left I must have seen around 70-90 people sleeping on the street and that was only on one side of the street. We had little kids come up to us and ask for money. There was this one little boy that would play the drum while this little girl danced and after they went around asking us for money and it was so hard not to look them in the eye and just ignore them when you know that there is nothing they can do to help their situation. I mean they can't really get a job yet and who knows where the money they do get actully goes. It's also really sad because you see a lot of homeless men, old women and children but not to many teen - 30 or so looking girls...which makes you wonder what they are doing to not be on the street, its so sad. And the train ride up, you see all these small towns and where these people live and it is crazy. But it is so beautiful.
