Just a Glimpse

Money

There's alot of beggars in China; they're pesky and stubborn. It doesn't matter if you really don't have change to give them or you just don't want to give them any money at all, they will stick around until a) you give them money or b) you walk away. I saw this little guy walking towards me and I quickly submerged myself in a book. He came over with his empty tin bowl and asked for money. Usually ignoring beggars work for me, so that's what I did. Lucky for me, he left me alone.

I didn't feel too bad for this one because he's one of the better dressed beggars around here: fully clothed with a hat, capable of walking AND he has a bag full of who knows what!
