The greed of these people is staggering... Needing a very large ex-pat workforce to keep the place going because the work is either to menial or too technologically advanced for the locals they then feel the need to rip-off people who try to keep in touch on a personal level with families thousands of miles away.... a Phillipino house servant who gets to return home only every 2 years or so can no longer speak to their family without lining the coffers of a bunch of indolent leeches...
