Most of us have never lived in abject poverty N,your going to meet some who do on your trip,we cant imagine our kid eating one meal a day of low nutritional value because thats all we could budget for,they say travel broadens the mind but it also opens your heart a little,I just went over to Tesco,the woman in front of me who didnt look as if she even knew how to spell starvation (her waist was bigger than mine)racked up a bill of over £300 on what looked to be a load of ready-made microwave meals,fizzy drinks,crisps,biscuits,alcohol and then maybe she had a twinge of conscience going back to the checkouts as she also had a bunch of bananas Puts it all into perspective when you see a mother of four budgetting a 100 pesos a day for the family meals
