Loved reading this. I admire your courage and ingenuity to dress as a poor person. If you haven’t already read it you might enjoy Orwell’s autobiographical Down and Out in Paris and London, your story tangentially reminded me of it.

Coincidentally I have just finished this book, and the article and the comment you're replying to definitely reminded me of it. Great book - I was expecting the incisive social commentary and humanity that Orwell is known for (and it delivered) but it's also just a very entertaining read.

This book is so unexpectedly funny! Once I was reading it on the train and couldn't help but laugh loudly a couple of times. People in the compartment were perplexed.

Took zero courage. Was in character. Now as an “upper-class” retiree— now there’s a tiny bit of imposter syndrome.
