Here's a little fun fact.

@Random1Thoughts Not all third world places are bad. There is so much good stuff they can offer to the world. :)

There are lot of problems that can be fixed by altering lifestyle. But in so called 1st world, its fixed by popping insane number of pills.

I'd say some of the locals are living in poverty, but people in poverty there are not hungry. One of the family took us out to local plantations. Bananas are riped still hanging from the banana tree. First time I tasted a ripe banana straight from the banana tree, so delicious and different from what we get in the West.

While some of the family lack money, there's still plenty of food to eat.

It was an amazing experience for me, I will definitely go back to visit in the future.

@Random1Thoughts Glad to know you had a good time. :)

In May we traveled to some of the Islands, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. My dad was crook so we took him to the hospital. After the consultation, we were given a prescription. I asked where the chemist so I can buy the medication, because usually we pay a small fee for medication.

I was shocked they had dispensaries at the hospital and medication was free.

@Random1Thoughts A chemist huh. Sounds fancy.

@SINAI
It wasn't fancy at all, it was on the side of the hospital attach to the actual building. Had metal bars and you give your prescription and wait patiently in line for your medication.

When we there, they had up to 30 people waiting for medication. They call out once it's ready. It was roughly about 10 to 15 monutes wait.

Also have to take into consideration that these islands populations is roughly less than 200k.

Prove what? I know it's free because I was there in May and we had first hand experience.
