Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3092045, member: 9326"] Homelessness and begging in my experience is pretty rare. Even rudimentary housing in Indonesia is fairly inexpensive. Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of poor people, but homelessness and begging is rare even relative to some western cities. Plenty of people trying to sell you stuff on every corner, but that is definitely not begging. Pre Bali-bombings was also 20 years ago and Indonesia as a developing country has had an annual economic growth rate of something like 5% per annum for basically that whole 20 years, so whilst it's still definitely poor on a GDP level, it's growing overall and slowly but surely so is their standard of living.
