Travel is a wonderful way to broaden your horizons and see new things. It is natural to feel shocked or surprised sometimes.

When you travel to out of the way destinations, you may encounter beggars, even begging children, and not know how to handle it. When in doubt, observe the norms of people around you. Adopt the attitude of locals. 

Most travelers agree that it is best not to give to beggars. When you give something, a beggar often will ask for more. They may follow you. 


Remember that you are helping the local economy by visiting the country. Show genuine interest in the local culture and support it by participating.  As a visitor, it is the better way to help foster and support the beauty and uniqueness of the culture you are visiting.
