You should go to Tucson Az, get out in the desert at night
You will be astounded. Things have grown up a lot since
I was there '75-'82, so you might have to go a bit
Further out, but "Light Pollution" is a big deal there,
Since there are several MAJOR observatories in the
Vicinity.

Unfortunately, poverty means: no money to travel, no car to get outside of the city. Which is why I've only seen the night sky once. It was in eastern Colorado, in-between my college town (Fort Collins) and Sterling, a little town out on the plains. It was beautiful. :)
