Technically, because Earth is the 3rd closest planet to the sun, every problem is a third world problem?

I have recently returned from work and study experience in Zambia.

We could all benefit from time in a Third World country

@Vetrov Interesting Vetrov. Lucky you! The US and the UK are third world countries. My uncle lived in Zambia

@SW-User Well yes..they are. So is Australia...the original Australians live in poverty as bad as anywhere else.

@SW-User Yes l had to beat a lot of competition...(my credentials were checked...as to my suitability to be an ambassador....obviously they didn't look here!)

@Vetrov Haha ;)

Victoria falls was beyond my imagination...and Zimbabwe was "scary"...@SW-User

@Vetrov How stunning, beautiful. Thanks for posting the photo
Ah yes,I can imagine scariness in Zimbabwe! :(

I found a truck driver...and offered him $20 AUD for a complete set of their currencies...(about 100 Trillion dollars in total )@SW-User

@Vetrov Not sure I understand but like the photo of the notes!

@SW-User They had hyper inflation..and a loaf of bread was hundreds of billions of dollars....(now they only use US dollars....the Zimbabwe dollar has no value...so l traded $20 to a truck driver...waiting at the border for as many of their notes he could dig up. Smallest denomination is 50 million...largest is 50 billion...it all adds up to trillions!)

I have always collected bank notes.

Had some from the Russian Revolution times ages ago...now "somewhere".

@SW-User l just stuffed it into my bag

@Vetrov Amazing, and the level of inflation too!

Germany in 1923...@SW-User

@Vetrov Yes, wheelbarrows of money to buy groceries :(

So now l can put guest lecturer at Zambia University School of Medicine on my CV...@SW-User

@Vetrov Fancy! ;)

There were six of us from all over Australia.

And l now have a Zambian family!
