i was watching this programme called Worlds Apart on the AXN Channel and apparently families from the developed countries travel to third world countries and get to stay with the families there, for 10 days. meaning, they have to adapt to the cultures of the families in that particular country and do everything they do. from what i see yesterday they travelled to west africa, kenya, india and mongolia. here are some of the things that i saw on the programme yesterday:
1)the people save and store their urine in a huge jar over the years and they pour a little out onto a basin and used it to wash their hair.
2)the men of this particular country did nothing at all while the womenfolk did the gardening, cooking, and many more chores. and the ratio of work done(100) by men:women is 3:97 - and the men there just sit on branches or sleep for the whole day.
3)the people use a mud-like substance to smear over their body.
4)they eat food that are just undescribe-able. sporeans are just too damn lucky.
5)they kill their catches(chickens, lambs and so on) with a scapel. oli a scapel. can u imagine? such a huge animal u kill it with a scapel? its so torturous can. i mean if realli need to kill it for food do it once and for all rite? and the chicken they hold it by the head and swing it round and round until its neck broke. imagine if someone did that to u. see the animals whimper so poor thing la.
6)there are abt 100000 flies swarming in the air.
7) they do their businesses in the open. and uses leaves(no toilet paper) to clean themselves up. and have to use the correct side too - if nt ur butt will itch.
8) families from the developed countries will be so apalled abt the living conditions in their hosts' families. one of them said that the day 2 felt like day 12. i tink i wun be even able to survive there for half a day?
so these are just some facts to share with u all but i forgot which comes from which country alr.
