taking bus in Peru


I was sitting in a bus in Iquitos,peru. 
The lady with 2 children sat down.
how did they sat?
the lady sat down first. Then the younger boy sit down on her left thigh. The older 1 sit on her right thigh. Because they cannot afford 3 seats.
I was quite shock to see this. 
When the bus was running fast , the older boy will fell down. So he just stood up . 
I saw the mum was feeling heavy . I asked one of the boys.
"Do you want to sit here?" I put my hands on my thigh.
They sighed their heads. I thought they were too shy. 


At first , I thought it is a good way to save money. 
After that ,I feel very sad about the kids. 
Because you are too litttle, you do not deserve a seat.
Look at the present kids in Hong Kong. They have ipad and iphone to play games.
They received education from an international kindergarten , which cost the same as university annual fee.

When it is raining in Peru, people will take out the glass that placed below the window. 
The bus have many wooden boxes on each window seat . Inside the box , there are 1 piece of glass. That you can pull up when it is raining. I was astonished by it's design. I saw the other passengers pulled it up, meanwhile my piece of glass cannot be pulled up. Well , I could only open the umbrella to block the rains. 

I reckon this was a very unique experience. Peruvian have many creativity. Creativity generates when there is not much resources 

Maybe 50 years ago, Hong Kong people live the life like the present Peru. 
Travel make us travel in different generations . 
Travel make us a time traveler.
