Something I'll never get used to
I think the hardest thing to accept about here are the street people, but not just that there are beggars and that there are child beggars, but more that many of them have diseases that I never see in the US. There are blind people with strange things that have happened to their eyes, people with legs that never grew to full size, and elaphantitis (I think that's what it's called, when there are strange tumors). I suppose they exist in the US, but they're better hidden. This is a country with perfectly good medicine, but I suppose the poor here can't afford it.
