In Reply to: That whole begging business...... posted by Paul on Sunday, 13. December 2009 at 10:41 Bali Time:
I was at Markets in Hong Kong, it started raining. A crippled begger was out in the rain and I wondered if anyone would help. The rain got heavier, the "Beggar" uncoiled himself, wrapped up his belongings and RAN into the shelter. Yes there was nothing wrong with him. Similar in Bali. Wait a moment and watch then. There is an adult minder nearby or on the other side of the road watching. I do give but to the selected. Begging is an industry. Normal job during the day and beg at night.
