payatas today

today i went to payatas. it was very surprising to see how even the kids' eyes glimmer at the sight of trash.

they don't look so austere, mind you. low-income, that's all. i'm sorry if i can't be politically correct, but... scavenging seems to be an inseparable part of their system. the very thing that killed their kin a few years back is the same thing that allows them what they could afford of a decent life.

WHY WERE YOU EVEN IN PAYATAS? GOOD THING THE MOUNTAINS OF TRASH DIDN'T COLLAPSE LIKE THEY OFTEN DO WHILE YOU WERE THERE. IMAGINE DYING BURIED UNDERNEATH ALL THAT JUNK.
