Asking for money..
I was stopped on the street next to a bus stop, and this woman (with a funny disposition) asked me to help with bus fare, I felt "compelled" and handed over a quater.. I know.. I know.. but I figured I quater wasn't going to hurt me, nor hurt the receipent..
Her story was that she was in pain, and needed to go to the hospital, funny thing was.. we were just one block away from the hospital, but she wanted to go to a different one.. ( shows lil me sheltered.. )
In Russia, I visited when I was 11/12 the markets seemed to this lack luster feel to it. Don't get me wrong.. St. Petersberg was a wicked cool city and the State Hermitage Museum was just amazing... all those priceless paintings just hanging there.. like someones house.... at the time, not climate controlled..
I'm getting carried about aren't I..
