I never see any bums where I live, but I generally don't stay out too late in the city to notice the few who do hang around. I had an interesting experience in Hong Kong ten years ago though. My brother, mum and I went there to visit my grandma and we went to a nearby park. We were sitting on some bench and a monk came up to us. From what I remember, he never said a word, and kind of just motioned his bowl towards us. It had like a 50 and a 20 HK dollar note in there. I remember my mum was thinking "for real?", while my grandmother, having lived there a for decades, gave him a dollar. He left and walked 100m or so away, threw the coin onto the ground, and just stared at us. All I know is a decent monk doesn't do that.
Not sure if he was homeless, but last year, I almost got nailed by some thief who dived down a flight of stairs on his bike in china.Originally Posted by 6Zabuza9
