There are a few of these guys in KK. (and everywhere) regulars.
wandering slowly along these roads, resting in the parks or on the roadsides just like here ^^

A few of them are on my regular small-charity list.
All pretty non responsive.
I wonder what they think - not only about me and my food offerings, but that too.
A couple have disappeared and i wonder where. I never get an answer about that either.

I don't know why, I love these men. And i miss them personally right now.
I don't know how, but they bring me a little peace in exchange for my offerings. And offerings they are, not really charity at all.
An exercise in humility too, not being able to do a single thing to change their situation. Maybe that is how the peace comes in?

Rest in peace, my Koh Kong brother.
Thank you.
