Default Re: Lessons from Peru on Third World Living

This guy's not a very good writer but they have it rough to say the least. I for one would skip the cheese and boil the water, but it's funny how cheese is kind of a take or leave thing here but it seems like a necessity there. I guess if you grew up with dirty water than you wouldn't know any better, but I agree with him as far as yuk! And the flies, hmmm well again if you're used to them than fine. And he mentioned TV which is a shame that they even have access to it because it sounds like they were better off without it. And what military isn't currupt in a poverty stricken environment.

It sounds like in some ways they have it better then we
do. After all, when you and all your friends are poor, you
won't know it unless some mean hearted person tells you.
