Anicdote.
I was coming out a resturant in livingston and i see this young'n looking at me. I didn't catch the boys name but he had a curious look on his face so i gave him a Attik cd, he look at the cover and back at me a few times smiles widely and gives a sincere "thank you" in broken english. i replied "de nada" in equally broken spanish, it made me feel good cause i could see he was pleasntly surprised to recieve his gift. that felt better than getting money for the cd.
I was trippin off how you could be poor in these other countries and it seems like you have lil to no chance of changing your position and acquiring abetter postion in life. Americans should take advantage of every opportunity you get on the road paved with gold cause it's real out here!
I learn How the Military in Guatemala was snatching up anyone; and i mean anyone and the family who had ties to "politcal organizations" Folks just gone with out a trace...scandless.
Anywho, here's a link to some more pics http://s144.photobucket.com/albums/r170/silkysocks/
