• Childhood Pt. III

  1. People climbing 20-30+ ft. up trees for fruits like mangoes, santols, and coconuts. Fuck, I really miss santols and I can never seem to find a shop that sell them here! It's an apple sized fruit with a giant seed inside, while the fruit is sweet whitish pulp. I heard that the seeds are poisonous if you eat them and even more surprisingly WTF eats seeds that are 3 inches in diameter? WTF!
  2. Digging up raw peanuts out of the earth and eating them was fun aswell.
  3. Poisonous centipedes smashed to bits by rocks.
  4. Men of all ages peeing anywhere they please.
  5. Having to take tons of weird pills, because I was sick somehow.
  6. Clinging for my life with one hand off the rail of a tricycle (motorcycle type of taxi) with my body hanging off it. Some how after school I managed to fall out. I almost died. I even forgot to pay after being so scared.
  7. Street vendors selling juice in bags made out of dirty water and powder. You could really see dirt floating around in those bags.
  8. Plastic balloons. You get a tube of toxic glue-like chemicals and a straw, pump out all the stuff on the end of the straw and blow it up. The sticky stuff will dry and it's done!
  9. One day, on the way to school I found a dead cat on the curb. It was pretty obvious that it had been run over. Ants were feasting all over it; so, just imagine a kitty covered in ants. To make the story even more depressing I'll point out that one of it's little kitty friends was standing 3 feet away, staring and meowing. It looked really sad. Dead cat and cat's friend mourning dead cat. Sad.
