the world is suffering from lots of problems + had a nice evening

Africa
Besides from the tragedy in Norway there is problems in Africa.
Every day on the news about the drought in the Horn of Africa, we see news report and it's really awful to see. They are suffering so bad, not only humans, animals too.
Anyway as most people are trying to help with aid, one news report made me really angry.
A Swedish News report showed an interview with a woman who has arrived at one of the camps runned by the Red Cross.
Anyway the woman was complaining that she didn't get enough aid, she only "got a few things" and said that the help she was getting was almost like NOTHING!
I do understand they need more help, but her words made me feel angry and sad! At the moment there are many people who needs help and to help everybody is impossibe, 100% aid is hard to give. And most people are happy that they at least get something to eat or drink at least once a day. However this woman wanted perfection, a house even.
We spoke about this at work and one co-worker who has lived in Africa for many years said that people there thinks that we are so rich so if we can afford little we can afford everything, since we have we should give it all.
"We give them a hand and they want the whole arm"
I feel sad that they think it's like that and the news channel who aired that interview, I think many people just like me felt angry and sad.

South Korea
South Korea has had heavy rain, normally during rain season they get around 527mm in total, however in two days they have been getting around 528mm!!!
It seems it's getting better now, however people have been perish by this crazy weather.
There has been many photos and videos of the horrible weather around the internet!
I hope it will be long gone before I arrive in Seoul. I don't want to carry my rainboots around!!

Norway
Today the Norwegian police announce more people who was killed in last Friday's massacre in Oslo and Utøya.
Hearing will continue tomorrow but it seems the progress is slow. Also tomorrow in Oslo they will have a memorial service. So far 24 names of dead or missing people have had been announced in public.

  • Tomorrow will 18 year old Bano be buried, the first of all victims. The Norwegian Singer who won Eurovision Song Contest a few years back, Alexander Rybak, will sing at the funeral.
  • Singer Morrissey commented during a concert in Poland that The massacre in Norway is nothing compare to how McDonald's and KFC kill all animals, and he also performed a song called "Scandinavia", with the lyrics: «I despise each syllable in Scandinavia. Let the people burn, let their children cry and die in blind asylum». He has accoring to Norwegian paper VG received lots of critisism for this!! No wonder he seems to be HEARTLESS


Today after work I met up with Fredrick, we had a glass of Rosé wine in central Stockholm and taked for about 2 hours about various topics, such as the daily news, friends, technology, daily life and future.
Not sure yet but this might have been the last time for a long time. Anway happy for the good times.
Also he made me jealous, now I want to buy the newest phone from Samsung, the GALAXY S2! I can afford it but should I buy it!?
Thanks for a very nice evening!! (^0^)

Today's song: 환희 - 하루 종일 (Hwanhee - All Day)
