The real life water world
They will show you the gorgeous European capital and the delicious steak you can buy but what they wont show you are the extreme poor that live in the outer realm of the bustling capital. Blessed with natural beauty and resources, Argentina is also plagued by poverty and corruption. This picture was taken at the second province of the delta region of Argentina. Outlaws, criminals, and even the poor have called this area a home. Abandoned houses are quickly renovated and turned into homes.
You can see the poverty in this picture and the reason why I chose to share it is because you can see the modernity in it as well. Notice the electricity and DirectTV satellite dish. The entire area is confined by waterways that are navigated by boats. Taxi boats are the most popular mode of travel as they take you around the delta region.

It really blows me away when I travel through poor sections of nations how I will always see satellites. Makes no sense to me!
I agree, I would have loved to go deeper but he wouldn’t do it.. only went as far as the edge of the 2nd area
DirectTV dish!! omg! all over the hood.. couldn’t believe it! lol
I would agree that it does exist but not as prevalent as you see it here.. I mean people move into these houses because they have nothing. Govt doesn’t even help these ppl, some live cut down trees and build their own houses. I’ve never heard of this in Canada or the States or any other developed western nation
