Kids in Timor-Leste



They were really cool from the border to Dili, but in Baucau the kids were terrible. I think it has to do with the presence of the UN in the country and the high UN concentration in Baucau. UN guys must have handed out water at some point as well because all the kids beg for water the same way Indian kids beg for "one school pen", not because they want it or need it but simply because they know that's what white people hand out. If the future of this country is it's children then it's in serious trouble.
