"bloody hell, stop sending money"

It is interesting to have satillite television while working on tsunami releif. It means that you hear the ads from America and Europe encouraging people to give generously to the tsunami. I, of course, am earning rather generously from tsunami relief. Interesting. More interesting is to be sitting with other relief workers watching these ads. Calls of "bloody hell, stop sending more", "damn it, send your money to somewhere else", and "this is really too much".

Everyone is serious. There is enough money. In fact, there is too much money in some cases.
