Today I discussed food sources and quantities with the group, and during the scavenger hunt I witnessed a homeless man seeking out items in a large trash can. This brought back memories of seeing similar situations in New York and India.
This makes me appreciate the amount and quality of food I receive on a daily basis. I think the purpose of the scavenger hunt on Boylston St. was to make me understand the value of food, as well as interacting with complete strangers.
I found going up to strangers and asking them questions was easy. I've done similar stuff like this, such as selling gameday buttons at UMD for football games, so getting rejected and ignored did not bring me down. The only frustrating part of the hunt was that natives did not know where to find the famous Boston Cream Pie or legendary Freedom Trail.
In the end, the hunt was a successful one, and I already have had an enriching experience here in Boston. I hope to learn more in the next 5 days, and expect you to spread the value of food.
