Poverty

India still has a lot of poverty. Driving around, we saw a lot of people living in tents, under underpasses, and in shantytowns. Mostly, I don't like to take pictures of that, since its a little creepy. If I was trying to raise money for them, or promote a poverty releiving project, it would be different- but since I am mostly just a tourist here, I think it would be a little exploitive.

Anyway, I am not sure if this was a house, or some sort of business - I mostly took the picture due to the "Coca Cola" image, as I am a navel-gazing American. As near as I can tell, the people who live in the shanties are relatively well off. A lot of them have electricity, and I even saw a few with televisions while driving by.

I think I have only had Diet Coke, and it tastes about the same.
