My view...

As you can see, the view from my window is not that glorious. BUT!
1. I CAN look outside from my cabin, unlike most crew members and
2. it's not a tiny porthole, but an actual WINDOW! :)

This is mine just between the ''m'' and the ''e'' making it ME :)

This is at low tide...

 Unfortunately it's quite boring outside, mostly I see our vehicles and endless rows of containers...

 From deck 7 you can see a bit further out...

And if you really open your eyes, you can see the poverty that's all around us...

I don't know.

The statistics from your previous post (4 fully educated physicians on 6.2 million people) do a much better job of telling how poor SL really is.

The sad thing is that poorly maintained buildings do not necessarily equal poverty: relatively speaking are those people even the rich ones with material to build houses. Concrete, multi-story even.
But how many are hungry? How's water access and education? Challenging to capture in a picture.

The contrast that stood out very much when I was in Ghana was that we lack time and they lack materials.

I think I am rich - comparingly - because of the nearly endless opportunities that I have and can create. But maybe it's not a good thing to compare things that way.
