Zimbabwebound

After all the escapades with trying to locate building supplies I thought that I would relax with a round of golf.  Now for those of you who have the misfortune of not liking golf, or who have never had the inclination to try this sport, one can generally say it is one of the more expensive sports to get involved in, first there is the equipment (golf clubs, balls, tees), then one has to purchase the appropriate clothing and after you have gotten the basics covered the green fees must be settled before heading out on the course … but let me ask you … has anyone ever paid $750,000,000 for a round of golf before?  I know I haven’t … but that is what it now costs to play nine holes in Bulawayo.

When comparing the round of golf to the prices of other items around Bulawayo it is quite interesting … a loaf of bread costs $300,000,000; a dozen eggs are $1,750,000,000 and petrol is at about $10,875,000,000 per litre.  I am in the process of trying to locate gum poles for the dining hall and I have been quoted the equivalent to $45 USD for 1 timber pole that is about 6 meters long.
