Beggar With IPhone

(First, i just wanna tell you that i have no purpose on writing this. It's not a black campaign or a blunder or an adv for any country)

About two years ago, i went to SG on a trip. Well it's not really a trip. It was a kind'a part of an exchange program which is more likely a trip *sighs. Eh, kidding. Just don't tell it to my teacher please.

But SG was a really nice and great country, indeed. Though it's only as big as my city, there were no traffic jam there. The public transportation was really great and well-managed, well i could say 'well-routed' too. It's also cheap and effective, you only have to pay 7 SGD (+/- 5 dolars or 50k IDR) and you can travel around singapore to whatever place. Well, FYI it costs just as much as a portion regular food there.

Anyway, about food, you can find Padang Cuisine there which is sold by Indonesian and only costs half as regular food which is sold by the locals.

That last day, the group went to orchard road and paragon (though i don't really buy anything above 10 dollars). We were going to continue to US of Sg (which i could't afford the entry ticket), so the group walked to the subway.  On the way to the subway, there were a view which was pretty 'funny' and ironic to me.

There was a beggar (which was rarely appear in a country like SG). The funny part is, that beggar used IPhone to play the instrument, and he also had a mini branded-home-theatre too. Well mister, you know what.. my phone doesn't even have an OS.

I don't know if IPhone was really affordable there or the living cost is so much more expensive than IPhone. But i didn't even imagine that such thing was really exist. Well, unfortunately i didn't capture it because i shut my phone at that time. But i'm really sure that it's really happening because the whole group noticed it.

There's a similar occurence on youtube, and below is the link:
