| 0:00.0 | What was the most horrible city that you've ever been to, and why was it so bad? |
| 0:06.3 | This was written in 2012. |
| 0:08.5 | Karachi, Pakistan. |
| 0:10.0 | I saw malnourished children wandering a field of garbage, eating whatever was edible from the |
| 0:15.1 | multi-acre pile of waste. |
| 0:17.1 | I saw all manner of crippled children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly, begging for the equivalent |
| 0:22.2 | of 20 cents on the streets to stay away from starvation. More than one cried when I gave them |

| 1:05.2 | or be killed there in the chair. He eventually befriended one, who allowed him breaks without |
| 1:09.9 | supervision, and he escaped through a window. |
| 1:12.3 | He then ran to the nearest Rickshaw driver, got him to drive away, and then broke down and told him his |
| 1:17.0 | story. The driver then gave him a free ride to the hospital. I saw a basic lack of any city planning. |
| 1:23.0 | Highways interlaced neighborhoods, so the only way to get to your house from a bus stop |
