OT: Have you ever seen TEDTalks?

There was a photographer on one of the shows and he went to Bhutan and brought balloons and asked the people there to pick the number of balloons they had according to how happy they were with their lives. 1-10. A lot of them were very poor and had around 8 balloons everytime. It's a very interesting project, and he had them write one wish of theirs on one balloon. I love TEDTalks.
