    My dad never gives money to people, he buys them something to eat instead.

    Unhappy

    My dad never gives money to people, he buys them something to eat instead.

    When it was around 9 years ago...

    I came across Beggar at Subway station.

    Beggar was a woman and it was late night.(around mid-night.)

    At that time, I met my girl friend and went to home.

    So I was in good mood.

    Furthermore, she told me she need just money to buy ticket.

    I gave 1,000 won(Korean Currency / around 1 USD) .


    And time went...


    Around 1 month after, I saw that woman beggar's begging at another place !!!
    (It was daylight and just only 3 subway station from my home !!)

    She told me she need only monet to buy subway ticket but why she was still at Subway station? =(


    After that experience, I have never given money(even 1 cent) to Beggars.

    This is horrible. Now people don't have trust to give money to beggars, even though some of them are actual homeless people.

    On a side note, I really don't like the ones that cleans your windows.

    there was a local guy here that a news crew shadowed as an investigative piece, and low and behold he had a nice house and car, but was begging as a "homeless" guy
