Gaza Kids Best Week Ever: Youtube Viral Chart

, , , , 9:50 PM | 1 comments

The past week or so has been a great week for Gaza's kids. They beat their own Guinness record for the most amount of kites flown simultaneously, they set another record for the most amount of basketballs dribbled simultaneously and they also met MATT. Matt is one of youtube's earliest celebrity globe trotters. He basically became known for a compilation video he did of himself dancing in different locations around the world. UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), which places a huge amount of its work emphasis on the youth of Gaza, has coordinated all these activites. You can see a video of the kites, basketballs and Matt's cameo.





How to Measure the Urban Kindness of Strangers

This man got strangers to physically carry him on his back up 9.4 miles of the grand Manhattan Isle. He wanted to debunk the myth that New Yorkers are unfriendly. Well, I wish they would do this experiment in Paris, where I found myself once lugging 50 kilos of luggage up and down the Paris metro stairs for several hours to get from one side of the city to the next, with no elevator or escalator in sight. I fell two times and no one stopped to help me except for immigrant women. It would be an interesting experiment for Kuwait? Who wants to place bets on how far someone could get?
