$$$ BLING BLING BLING

Also, here is Andrew's thought of the, uh, what's it been, 4 months? Thought of the Quarter!

Americans are crazy about money. And it's a little disturbing - I think it's because there's a general lack of depth in people here. Not, I should hasten to add, anyone I work/spend time with, because, quite frankly, I wouldn't if they were like that - but the general atmos here? It's ... hmmm, it's not the same as in Sydney, or Thailand, or even Greece!

All the songs are about making money. All the books are about making money. The people who are famous here? They are often famous SIMPLY FOR MAKING MONEY. What do the bums on the street here ask for? Education? Equality? Medical? No - money!
Call me stir-crazy (although I do prefer 'Andrew', maybe with the appellation 'Sri Sri'), but that's, well, stir-crazy!
