Relaxation Comes Naturally

Had a taste of what it would be like to live in the life of luxury, having ‘Beach’ and ‘Evening Sun’ cocktails and just doing what comes naturally to us all.  Getting to see the swimming pool that only the residents were allowed to use.  Lunchtime was really good because we had two kinds of menus that we could choose from, a buffet or A la Carte (which is just a really posh way of saying you get to choose one main meal and that’s your lot). We all chose the buffet one, so when we went into the restaurant there were three different islands….one for appetizers, one for main meals and one for desserts.

It’s really weird though having visited all those deprived slum areas and then coming into this kind of sophisticated atmosphere where everything is laid back and nobody has any cares or worries. Whereas, the people in the deprived areas are spending each day being anxious and also worrying about money, food and somewhere to shelter them.

There was a major storm last night which got us all thinking about the people who live in the slums and the people who just live on the streets altogether.  They won’t have a stable home to help them keep dry and safe.

But from going to a posh hotel from visiting slums containing one bedroom homes which hold up to seven sometimes more, and watching two different types of lifestyles shows me how ignorant people can be about third world countries, and how unappreciative they are when have proper supporting families unlike families in India.
