The Rich & The Poor

Since moving to Prague we have certainly been exposed to many new things, one of which is the 'rich' and the 'poor'.  Allan took this photo of one of the parents cars at Corban's school.  It's an MP4-12C McLaren (seriously who drives one of these for the school run :+). 
Wealth at Riverside School is extreme!  For example a teenager from Taylors school is bringing in two bands from Switzerland to play at his Birthday party, plus hiring the largest night club in Prague to have the party in!  We have certainly been blessed from the wealthy ... Leo has just been given basically enough clothes for the next year or so of his life ... in nothing less than Armani Junior.  I couldn't help myself, I checked the cost of the long sleeved polo shirts (104 euro each!!), he was given 12 plus good shirts, pants, pyjama's, raincoat, socks ... Alongside this we were looking for a balance bike for his Birthday, someone just gave us one! (basically looks brand new!!)  We are sooo grateful, I love hand me downs even when they aren't this flash!
On the other hand we often see the homeless and beggars, sometimes it is very heart breaking.  Allan left his old bag sitting by the rubbish bin, well not long after he saw it put to good use, so funny but we actually saw this guy about a week later and the bag is still going strong!
