We currently have a 25-year-old Korean guy staying with us while he studies an English course at a local High School. Tonight while trying to communicate my mum spills a bit of wine onto our couch while trying to play talk-charades with him.
“Oh crap!” she says.
Me looking shocked at her asks him if he understands slang words like crap.
His response: “I don’t know crap.”

Lol.. priceless! We were in fits of giggles for ages, poor guy. Probably thinks us Kiwi women are nuts.

Also, today in my Entrepreneurship paper at Uni we watched a documentary about Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2006 which looks at his work with Grameen Bank to provide micro-credits for the less fortunate of Bangladesh.
It’s amazing to think that $27 he paid to a loan shark helped a group of women out of debt they were afraid they’d never pay back.
It certainly brings poverty into perspective when I think that I can spend $30 in five minutes on a top I didn’t need to keep me alive.
