And HK for the suck. I hate that people can stand to see riches next to so much poverty. Like, you can kind of understand Australians for not helping out all the time, because we're not confronted with it, but when you SEE IT, right in front of you...how do you just walk away?
Oh, my. My holidays were far too short as well. I'm so dreading going back to waking up at six. ]:
[And on the subject of Obama: MAN, THE SECRET SERVICE IS GOING TO HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL. ♥♥ Did you SEE the expression on their faces when he got out of the limo/tank to greet the denizens? XD XD XD Man, I loove him. <33]
you're guinea pig is really cute, and obama is awesome, and slums suck. When I was at the beach I did this thing called slum survivor, which is where you basically live like you're in a slum for a designated time period (we only did it for one day, but some people do it for aaaaaggges). And you have to complete all these tasks that are meant to represent what people living in slums go through every day. For example we had to build houses out of cardboard boxes and things and then a 'hurricane' came and knocked it over and poured water over it, resulting in us getting very very wet. It was fun for us, but it would be horrible if you had to spend more than a day there and it was actually a matter of life and death and not just a game.
WHOA, that's so cool! That would be awesome fun. (Dude - shelters aren't supposed to get knocked over in hurricanes. It's NOT a very good shelter if a tiny WIND can blow it over, GOSH.) But yeah. I don't think I would want to do it for more than a day. And probably neither do the people who actually have to.

Anyway, summation of my holidays: too short.
