Get your 25 cents worth!

An area that has taken some getting used to here in Zambia is the currency. When we got to Lusaka, Zambia, the exchange rate was around 4,900 Qwacha to 1 US Dollar. It is sometimes hard to get my mind around that! In this picture, Abby is holding up the equivelant of a little less then 25 cents (US). The initial thought is that everything would be much cheaper here, but that is not necessarily the case, even with food items. This 25 cents would not buy you very much! (maybe a piece of hard candy)|
