Dispatches from Zimbabwe pt. 3

Rawb: http://picasaweb.google.com/Rob.Lindsley/ZimbabweNov2008#5273016817494810402
Bills, bills, bills!
Me: Fuck yeah, son.
Rawb: Just glad I made it out with my camera and some of that cash
I could not get all of it out
Me: How come?
Rawb: Ended up having to bribe the customs agent inadvertently
Me: No shit?
Rawb: Things were sort of getting more locked down and my gov friends said getting caught with that much cash could land me in jail, so I smuggled about a trillion or so out in my shoes and in various spots.
Me: Ha, shut up!
Rawb: Not kidding!
Made it out with about 45 notes
me: Quite the fugitive
Rawb: Yeah, sketch as fuck, but totes worth it.
In the end i had a good bit of US cash that I brought in at the end of the trip,
and the customs agent searched me and questioned me about it,
in the end he demanded "Leave One (packet of 1 dollar bills US) here",
so I gave him a rubber banded stack of 25 1$ bills,
and he waved me through without further search.
Me: Wow
Rawb: I was sweating a little hoping I did not have to take off my shoes,
to reveal 600 billion dollars under the insole of each shoe!
Me: Damn, what an outlaw.
Rawb: Yeah, let's hope I don't make it a habit.
Me: Or at least get better at it.

Dispatches from Zimbabwe pt. 2

Rawb: Wanna hear something nuts?
Me: You know i do.
Rawb: So I went to a bank today and there was a line out the door.
The maximum amount you could withdraw was $500.
A donut costs over 2 million dollars.
So you would have to go to the bank every day for like a month to buy a donut.
And not even a very good donut.
Me: so why even bother?
Just cause there's nothing else to do?
Rawb: Yeah, I guess if you have no job, why not?
People have trillions in the bank, too,
but you can only ever get $500,
and what that buys is getting less and less every day,
until they knock zeros off the money and start over.
Hard to believe it's real.
Me: That's insane

Dispatches from Zimbabwe pt. 1

Me: So, how's Zim?
Rawb: Fucked up, but in a weird way.
The infrastructure is great - great roads, nice buildings, looks way nicer than Tanzania,
over 90% literacy and very accomplished population,
but the place is just run by a madman who keeps doing things to stop the factories from working or the food from being able to be sold.
So it is this well developed place that is just in the shits.
No economy at all, weird laws that make life hard on everyone, and a lot of creative solutions to get by
but some serious social issues, too, like 70% of the nation under the poverty line
15.8% HIV
Me: Jeebus
Rawb: 100% of the kids qualify as vulnerable under UN guidelines,
something lke 60% of kids in zim have lost 1 parent or more but also weird in that the poverty is not in the city or in shanty towns, it is in the suburbs, kind of like LA..
Most folks in the burbs have a brick block home with a small yard, but there is trash everywhere and open sewers.
Schools are mostly out because the teachers are not getting paid, so kids up to trouble, lots of people milling about.
Anyway, that's Zim.
Me: Unique in it's fucked up-ness
Rawb: Indeed
