Clarity

I've come back to Hong Kong and I leave for the United States in three days. I traveled Asia for 24 days.

What have I learned? The world is much bigger than anyone can imagine. It's also very delicate, and not all of us live in the prosperity of Western countries. Nature is beautiful. Poverty is hideous.

This child came up to me and asked for 5 Nepali Rupees - that's about 1 penny. The bag he carried was twice the size of him. He had no shoes. I gave him 10 Rupees and asked to take his picture. I remember crying a little, because I gave this child US$ 0.02 - and that was generous.

I return to the United States - my box - now. Hopefully I can escape it again. And hopefully, I can make a difference. For this child's sake.
