I guess I'm what people might refer to as a country bumpkin, but when I first went to a big city in the guise of Glasgow a few years ago, I was appalled and shocked by the homeless and jobless people begging in the streets. Recent visits to Sydney and Melbourne have had the same effect. I can't help but give money to people. I feel really saddened, I gave away a lot of money, which is easy to do when their pound coin is worth double and a half an Australian dollar. It's twice as sad to know that a large percentage of the people I gave money to would spend it on booze or drugs.

There are no homeless people in Hobart, or at least not in the streets sitting around begging, and I know that they have somewhere where they can get meals and a bed.
