One more week left of my Berkeley summer school. What shall I discuss today? Ah yes, whilst walking out of UC Berkeley I picked up a copy of the Daily Californian. There was an interesting article in it about this "world traveler" who offers food and money to strangers. He's a resident of Berkeley and he was basically a vagabond until he settled down in the city. He offers everybody, friend or foe, a home-cooked meal and even money if they need it. Yet he himself is far from affluent. People say he is the most generous and humble person they've ever met. He never allows anyone to compensate for what he gives. That is the coolest person I've ever heard about. He spent his life travelling all over the world on foot. He wrote a book I believe about his travels, and he writes about this one time he ilegally crossed the Swiss border right pass a border patrol. It says here, he left his small island village, Mauritius, (off the coast of Madagascar) with $12 in his pocket to go to Pakistan for education. He then began wandering after a year of education and captured pictures of places that are rarely ever photgraphed. Man, what an interesting life. And such a kind generous man. Oh yeah, his name is Kadreebux just in case you were wondering. I would love to read his book and maybe I could visit his house since it's near where I go. Long live Kadreebux!
