I remember encountering this kid over and over again at Santa Maria Novella a couple of years ago and how most people ignored him however he turned out to be a good kid. Angie...That's funny I remember an Angie who let me bum on her couch one summer. I will always be grateful to her. : ) Hi there,

Despite the fact that everyone warns you to keep clear from these kids because they lie, cheat, steal and whatever, I was drunk enough to walk up to them and sit down. Mainly to practice my Portuguese, but also because in between all these "rich" people partying, I felt the need to talk to some actual local people. They turned out to be very nice kids, telling me all about their life there. For them, I needed to explain that Holland was in Europa, on the other side of the big ocean we were sitting besides. This is one of those precious moments that you don't really think about when you are living them, yet afterwards you realise their value :) In Salvador, Brasil during carnaval one morning I met some kids that were selling soda’s during the carnaval.
