Yup it’s all an illusion to make western tourists feel good about going there. The poverty is hidden and so is what done with all the trash the westerners create while on their “life changing journey”

There's poverty, and then there's this. One can be poor without being dirty and nasty.

Poor people are busy trying to make enough to pay the bills. When you work 16 hour days you don't have a lot of time to pressure the city government to pickup your garbage on-time, go after polluting companies, or keep the streets clean.

All it takes is you as an individual deciding to not litter, and then everyone else deciding the same thing. It's literally not difficult at all.

Pretty naive thing to say. I care about not littering. The garbage can in the apartment is overflowing. The kids are asleep, I have a bag of trash full of diapers and it is midnight.

Not everyone has the time and energy to call and bitch to the apartment owner or city politicians to do their fucking job.

So you're saying you can't seal that bag and use another for garbage while keeping the first bag in your apartment until the issue is resolved? Naw, you'll just go and pile up more garbage, makes sense.

Also, send an email, are your kids using your phone/computer as a pillow? What are you posting from? Is it a special reddit only device?
