Just remebered something i saw in HK that i thought i'd share. Its not witty, but in fact the complete opposite. Celia and i went into this shoping centre to get some passport pics made and saw this gallery of drawings made by children. The pics were good if not a little dark and all had a little message next to them. The one read something like this
"My sister and I always wanted a TV so my dad went to give blood to make money so he could buy us one. Then he started getting really sick and after a while he died. I really miss my dad and wish he could come back"
Wow! I thought this was horrible as all those girls wanted was a TV and that is something that you and I take for granted. The following day whwn we went to pic up our pics we say that it was a gallery from families affected by AIDS. It's really sad and especially cause he got it from a dirtly needle during blood donation. I never realised how the population of AIDS victims has risen in Asia. They have this website with stories of children similar to this, have a look.
