Our neigborhood...

Now that you saw my view it's time to venture out a bit. Outside of the port gate is an extremely poor neighborhood. Often if people come to the city from the provinces they don't know anybody. They have nowhere to go so due to lack of options they end up spending the night at the harbor. One night turns into 2, 2 into a week, a week into a month... And before you realize it, you have a permanent spot, even a small shack if you are lucky.

This is just outside of the gate.





Poverty is really all around us...
