Wicked and wacky Amazing Race was shown on television last night. From Indonesia to Bangladesh. If you haven't seen what poverty yet that's the place to go and see for yourself. It's a pity that life over ther haven't changed. It's the same impoverished community for the past twenty years. That's the "old similar scene" close to the Divisoria area where the railway train is, muddy, slum area with millions of squatters. Bangladesh, just like India had cruel flash flood brought on by so many cyclones and other harsh calamities including famine. In this leg of the race the cast of Amazing Race 2012 had the chance to work on old buses, repair > fillin in gaps of the buses' wall dings, scraping and polishing its side walls then pulling out the bus' seats outside for re-upholstery. They have to get clues from a sack of dried fish from the market stall, fill-in a mattress with cotton, helped the ironsmith finish his work by pounding the metal armor or equipment dunno what he will do with that metal tool. While the fast forward is a task of collecting so many rats from one location to another, a task that the rocker and lawyer was able to finish right in time and was the winner of the leg of the race for that episode. So many rats!!!!! I hope they burned the rats or dig a hole so that it wont cause a pandemic. Rats are dirty. They are the cause of bubonic plague during the Dark Ages.
Then here comes the news about those contaminated beef and boxes upon boxes of those meat were dumped in the landfill. According to the news soil was dumped to cover the boxes of meat so that wild animals wont clutter them. Really? Why not they just burn them? It's safer that way right? Birds can get easily open those boxes and scatter them for every wild animals to share.
Uhm scary, what an awful scary scenario as if a movie called "Contagion."
