Jakarta: Dufan. For my birthday this year, i invited my house helper (Eli), her family & all her neighbors to Dunia Fantasi (Indonesia's version of Disneyland). All of them make about $100 a month in combined family income. Poor is the word in finances, but they're the most heart felt & gracious people when you spend a little time with them. Most of them had never been to an amusement park, and at $10 per ticket, they probably never would. This was my way of giving them a memory they'll appreciate for a lifetime. And that was my gift to myself this year. You'll see the value in the smiles on their faces (= it was worth every penny.
