Ex-pat's burden - not a funny entry

For the cost of one week of my current nanny, I'll have a full staff of household staff in Tanzania for a month. This just blows my mind. Clearly there is no economic justice in this world. I am feeling pretty guilty about it. But if I have to tell the truth... I can't wait to have the cheap help.
