tv

I got slightly lost yesterday, and ended up on the wrong side of the train station.  On the side I'm staying, its a crowded marketplace, but its clearly bustling and flourishing.  The side I ended up on was a lot more depressed, more slum-like housing and not too much commerical activity.  I was walking by a row of what looked like pretty makeshift shelters to me... they were basicaly boxes built against the boundary wall of the train station, with corrugated metal roofs and drapes across long wooden poles for walls and entrances.  But when I glanced inside one, I saw an entire family lounging on some pillows watching TV.  I was so surprised to see that they were wired!  They looked kind of like this...

 

Its kind of funny when you compare it to my own inability to watch tv... I need to show proof of residency in order to have a cable box set-up, so I decided to skip it because I don't watch too much tv.
