Zimbabwe In the Red
Just watched the evening news.
Amongst the political goings on here and the global financial
troubles - this news:
The new inflation figures in Zim.
231 million percent.
2-3-1-million %!!
No, really
What does that even look like?
Let's say you earn Z$10000 a month -
How does it work - what does an inflation rate of 231 million% do to that?
I just can't get my head around it.
Can you?
Three posts today :-)
Probably none coming up for the next couple of days though

I was *just* about to blog THE EXACT SAME POST. I heard it on Cape Talk when I was doing school pick-ups.
I simply couldnt believe it. How does that country function? I cannot get my head around it AT ALL.
