Beggar magnets- Our clothes are different, our faces are different, we are stronger than many AND we stand a foot taller than many, so it is no wonder that we attract the attention of the beggars.  I cannot give to them.  It seems the worst of all worlds to encourage them to stay on this street corner and do the same thing.  I have been guilty of handing a couple of kids something out of my grocery bag (Felix still laughs at the outrageous snort from one little chap when I handed him a tomato), but it makes our native hosts uncomfortable.  One Indian friend would angrily shout at those that gathered around us when we were with her, but our guide in Dhaka reached into his wallet to get rid of them quickly.  Felix is very proud of this photo.  I am guessing that this little chap was sent after us on his first begging mission.  He doesn't really look as though he knows what he was given.  Felix got the better part of this exchange though - he has a cute picture while the little guy has been given the wrong signal and someone probably thinks it very 'auspicious' that on his first fishing attempt he landed a fish - albeit a very tiny minnow.
