Tourism and Asia's tsunami

A quick revival of tourism would help some countries recover

THIS is the time of year when millions of Europeans relax with a glossy travel brochure or, nowadays, surf the internet, to plan and book their summer holidays. It may seem heartless to dream about a sunny beach in the aftermath of the devastation and loss of life caused by the Asian tsunami. But tourism is one of the most important industries in Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Maldives—all badly hit by the huge tsunami—and the return of tourists will make it easier for their battered res don't get to go to USC this semester. Okay, that would be the most horrible thing ever and I would fucked over. So then, someone else did something in the system and let me use my loan checks, which made it better, but then they told me the check wasn't there yet even.

Damn you little old ladies who don't know what you are talking about. Honestly now, if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't be working where you are. I just don't understand.
