Crap in Buenos Aires

[Desde2008]

This is no criticism of life here, I realize there are a lot of homeless and unstable people that are destined to live their lives in the street. Honestly, I admire their spirit to survive. But on with the story...

While I was riding on the bus this morning, I looked out the window along the train tracks, San Martin line, near Los Incas.

I had to take a double take as I saw ass, a big man´s naked ass, out and squatting to take a crap in the bright morning sunlight. No attempt to cover up at all and a dog looking on as if he might learn something.

Reminds me of India. It's fairly common sight there to see men pee and poo along the roadways.

Somewhere in Jodhpur I saw three small kids in beatiful white school uniforms. They must have been 5 or 6 years old. They were on a sidewalk by a busy street, side-by-side holding hands and squatting to take a dump... All in perfect unison, while dozens of cars and people went by. I guess they held hands so they could balance each other and not fall in the puddle.

It is what it is. I see people pissing on trees every few days, regardless of location. Sometimes parents with kids, often dog walkers (who also don't pick up the dog crap).

Hey when you gotta go, you gotta go right?

I was down towards the corner of Barlomitre and Puyerredon and there were tons of people outside shopping and the such. There was one older mother with her 8 year old daughter and the daughter was literally squatted on the corner, in front of everyone and in front of a lot of hardworking Argie's shops, taking a piss. Needless to say, I was flabbergasted. People were just passing by her staring and her mom just sat there and watched her go like it was nothing.

I understand people gotta go, but that's ridiculous. Some of these people are straight up animals with 0 respect.

I saw a fairly funny public crap effort when I was teaching in Japan - I think it was my local train station which at the time was Makuharihongo - a salaryman was coming home from ''working'' really late (i.e. getting pissed as a fart with his mates) and the first thing I noticed was him walking backwards - I tend to notice things like that - then it was the number one onto the railway track - but then he obviously followed through (partially) with a number two and a minute or so after that he went for the full download in the corner only 20 feet away from me...

Have to admit it - it definitely put me off my bento for the night lol

Just felt like sharing that
