In Indonesia, I drove along a canal for about an hour at highway speeds. I never lost sight of cardboard shanties or the 100,000 people that lived inside them and drank that canal's water. Never saw that canal, actually, because it was clogged with garbage.
A career for those folks was standing in the middle of the road and stopping traffic for 15 cents so that you could make a left turn. Don't any dare tell me Indonesia has no grinding poverty. Country run by generals still with dirt roads in DOWNTOWN Jakarta. Edg
