A pitiful situation …. 

 

 

 

 
                                 $ .,.,. Zimbabwe the Land of Poor Millionaires .,.,. $


Due to the country's hyperinflation rate of over 231,000,000% a year, the financial authorities were forced to release larger and larger bills in order to help people buy the simplest things without carrying bricks of bills with them. When the $10,000,000 bill was released early this year, it was worth about $4 US, but it soon became as worthless as the previous bills and now you can find the 100 billion dollars bill which you can use to buy 3 eggs.

When people want to go to a restaurant they are again forced to carry mountains of money with them. This all began in the year 2000, when president Mugabe came to power and transformed the whole country into a giant agricultural field. Now the inflation is through the roof, 80% of the population is unemployed and a third of the population has left the country. At least they can take pride in the fact that they have the highest denomination bills in the world.

Through the global economic crisis incited by the United States, the U.S. dollar has gotten stronger. Throughout the summer, 1 AUD = 0.95 USD. By the time we arrived in Australia on Oct 3, 1 AUD = 0.80 USD. By the time we got back to the U.S. on Oct 28, 1 AUD = 0.65 USD. We would have saved over $1000 on our trip if the crisis had started a month earlier.

Can someone explain to me in three sentences or less what determines the currency exchange rate? A friend and I were discussing this yesterday and couldn't come up with a good answer. I googled the question and just got more confused with all sorts of economic theories.


You can find 3 of my snowboard designs on Prophetsnowboards (click catalog, then unique boards, and look for the names "Gears, Wagglez, and Trippledotted" by Nicholas Patten)
I will be making more designs, if you have any special requests let me know and I can make a unique board specifically for you.

I'm almost caught up posting photos from this summer (I didn't get around to doing these when I was in Boston). Here is a set of photos from a weekend I was back in New York City. I'm guessing it was about 60 degrees warmer then than it is now.
 
Pictures include: lunch at Habana Outpost, the Brooklyn Museum, and a phenomenal dinner at Tabla.
 
I LOVE Tabla. You could call it French Indian, or French with Indian influences, or simply fancy Indian. We got the tasting menu and everything was delicious.

My mom was in the town for the past few days. She got a call last night saying her flight was cancelled. I jumped on Google and searched for her flight. It said:

And at the exact same moment, the United website said it was cancelled:

I called United and had her rebooked on another flight out of LGA. I asked the guy for the flight number and looked it up in Google to see the details. It said:

"Wait, that's not where she's going," I told the guy. On the United website, the correct info showed up:

Ok, I know this information isn't owned by Google, it comes from flightstats.com. But by enabling these quick searches, Google is implying that this date is accurate. The information is actually completely wrong and could really mess you up your travel. Beware. Double check the info with the source, not some middle man.

Pronounced "Fooking", it's a village in Upper Austria, one of the 9 states of Austria.

The village's been around since 1070. Fucking, a swear word in English, means "Focko's people". The village is named after a man called Focko.

The Fucking village (pun intended) is famous for their street signs with the village's name on it. It attracts many tourists and is commonly stolen. A more secured road sign was installed in 2005, but the problem remains.

This ad caught my eye next to a New York Times article second-guessing John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as running mate. An interesting juxtaposition to say the least.

The ad goes to the Americans for the Arts homepage.
