Now that's what I call nitty gritty real life.
Isn't Paris a homeless shelter these days?
Good work Walrus, though I am a little jealous of the water sports with another man.
I have no idea where the homeless here are. You don't see many. I suppose it helps that booze is the only temptation and rent is cheap. You don't need to work hard to live poor. I think churches play their part as there are a lot of them here.
Ya miles I notice when I go to bejing or Shanghai you don’t see many homeless. Then I found the Chinese government gives them one way transportation out of the city and says good luck. I’m assuming 2nd best Korea is not like that but it’s good to hear it’s not a major issue around you. TBH the city in my state I’m working in I don’t know a lot about but it certainly has a violence and drug issue. It’s just not a city I have much reason to go to as I have New Haven (home of Yale) right near me. Driving through it, I saw several nice areas but of course the shelter is in the rough part of town.
I remember years ago you would see homeless around Seoul Station. They got booted when it was redeveloped and I doubt much help was given. I don't see Seoul these days, so cannot comment too much, but you do not see many homeless people generally. Back home they are everywhere and drug dealers will just walk up to you offering you stuff. It is probably connected. A chap I sat next to in primary school is in prison for crimes related to a junk habit. It is expensive and will lead to the streets. You cannot get a junk habit here. Can buy liters of soju for a few bucks though. I prefer not having drugs around. Kids can walk without needles on the ground and all of that. It is nicer for everyone.
Lady said it's ok to cook and bring it. 20 ppunds (2 bags 10 lbs each) with just some salt and butter. Nothing fancy and easy to make and hot to warm them up inside.
Yes plenty. They have 44 beds in one a block from my apt. Heroin addicts, schizophrenics, alcoholics, abject poor, penniless, etc. Last week I felt bad to do it cuz they were old and worn, but we (wife and I) donated about 6 pairs of men's and women's shoes and socks as well as about 5 really oversized sweatshirts, all purple!, I wish you would have told me you needed 3X for that black dude, I'd have gave it's to you. So yeah, pretty old shoes but definitely wearable, no holes in them or anything. My wife is going to make 20 pounds of mashed potatoes and bring it to that shelter this Sunday before Christmas. There is nobody there for these souls. Even a little bit can help. God bless you again B.
That’s cool fats shoes and socks are much needed. I worked with a female last night, very nice girl but she didn’t stfu for twelve hours. She is Puerto Rican and was talking about bringing in a big dish of that lovely Spanish rice and beans pan for the guys. Shit I’d make some chicken or something myself for them but I had to explain due to state regulations we can’t do that, it a health code thing. It’s a bit dumb, I think I made 30 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the guys, that and a bunch of unhealthy snack food was all we had but in the AM there is a lady down the street who turned her home into a place for the homeless to go during the day where she cooks for them let’s them hang out and get warm. She does it on her own, no funding from anyone it’s out of her own pocket. She is one of those evil Catholics heavily involved in the church. If that shelter gave your wife the OK to bring food in I’m sure the guys will love it. Very nice of you guys.
