I'm sure the kids will remember that day for a long time. It is unfortunate that in many parts of the world, children have forgotten what it is to be children. That was certainly beautiful!

That wasn't a hateful comment; it was cynical. I don't hate the guy. Simply broadcasting what he did makes me wonder what his motives were. That's cynical. Or maybe I'm jealous because nobody ever took me to Fantasy Kingdom. Gail Pink.

Happy that you were able to give these kids and the gentleman wonderful memories. Sad that I am unable to do the same, though maybe I could in time. Sad that with these modern times of growth that children are still living like that. Who's to blame? Their own government? Our government? Or us and our need to constantly consume and waste frivolous items? This made me feel both sad and happy. Happy that you were able to give these kids and the gentleman wonderful memories.

You lifted those kids out of their shadowy existence for a moment, and showed them that there is something to hope for. And it sounds like you were as transformed by the experience as they were. --TwoDragons Kelsey: You did something very special.

Instead of getting your rich friend something worth $60, get 20 kids something that would give them a great memory! I guess something like candy or an abundance of food would have been a better idea, but peoples' hunger always renews... this'll be in their memories forever. Im sure if they were living inthe shadows of the place they'd have always wanted to go in it. This is great.

When I left the kids, it was kind of sad and I felt a little guilty that I was heading off to my hotel in a taxi and they were back on the streets looking for trash to recycle. @ shecky - I guess it was both. @ gail pink - I fed them pizza. They didn't care for it much. Thanks for the great comments. @ Ted - The experience didn't leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy.
