money can't buy happiness

i often refer to thailand as the land of a million smiles, fiji will now be called the land of music and love. to say that the fijian locals are kind would be an understatement. for people who have close to nothing, an onlooker would think they have everything. their smiles and their love is effervescent and quite contagious. a fijian would offer a stranger the shirt off their back, whereas allowing someone to switch lanes to me was considered my good deed for the day ;) 

funny how life's lessons tend to put things into perspective.
