It was actually a wonderfully nutritious snack – protein, greens, carbs.

Developing nations rarely have much in the line of a safety net, except one’s own family, so anyone who can’t find work sets up their own small business like these guys. What broke my heart was the sight of people selling beautifully made trinkets for a pittance, and apparently rarely selling anything at all. I wanted to buy everything in sight, just to help out… Sigh.

We really don’t understand such poverty do we? At least the people are enterprising and not hanging around waiting for a handout from the government.
