As I'm sure you know, Zim has the highest inflation in the world. As I walk around town (differing from the 'downtown' area which is forbidden to me) I see signs advertising price rollbacks. Imagine that reducing prices to what the products were selling for A FEW WEEKS AGO would make a difference. It would be like "Prices reduced to 1970" or something like that.
I have seen some empty shelves in supermarkets and there is a limit to the amount of milk you can purchase (about 1 litre) but there is milk, bread and butter. I even purchased yogurt yesterday.
It's only been 2 days and I have so much to learn. Prices are all in the hundreds of thousands. It takes so long to count out your money as the biggest bill is $100,000. I had a purchase of over $2 million dollars - my 'purse' is filled with bills - as is everyone elses. It is going to be an interesting few months.

Hiya,
Gald to hear you made it safely. Do you also have access to your hotmail account? LB loves your bike; he's been up and down the driveway on it a few times and says it rolls wonderfully.
Have fun and take care.
Linda
