We lost touch over the years, and I have no clue what he's up to. actually, I can't even recall his last name either.. R something? Rengal? hmm... i can't recall the exact spelling.. (my Eng was pretty horrible those days)
Since then, I never really met a hispanic friend. (in College, I hung out mostly with other Koreas, GC was filled with sailor-mouthed ex armed-forces guys and gals and Korea was.. well.. Korea! :D
Just recently, while playing Destiny, I met bunch of new people, and one of my new friends is Hispanic. Our conversations opened up a whole new world, which I didn't even think too much about and practically chose to block out for so long. Although we don't get to talk a lot, conversations are always fascinating.
So Central America had been on my mind recently, and coincidentally, one of my "weird-quirky-podcast-indulgences": Planet Money just published the cost of crossing.

This beautiful world is marred by humanity: taking advantage of the less fortunate and their desires to climb out of the shit hole they find themselves in.
the terms of payment boils down to the common denominator: money or sex. #disgusting
