There are beggars and there are "beggars". Don't get me wrong for this story, but this truly made me sick:
So there is a city in France called Strasbourg. It's a city thats on the border between France and Germany. We went there for a school trip, for a day or 4. When we stepped into the city, in front of that HUGE cathedral, There were people"begging". I usually don't give coins to them, unless I can see they really need it, but these people made me sick! There was a women, pretending to be homeless, have her CHILD cry for her, as if it was really sad. People gave money, ok i thought. Later that day, 'round 6 o'clock, the women is still there. Then, she stands up, gets her bag, and the child is given a mobile phone to PLAY WITH. Buncha scammers, taking the money from the real beggars.
Also, these street sales people, coming over with fake products, chasing you to buy it. Srsly, thats so fucking lame (off topic, a little bit, sorry).
