Shopping day

It took me all day on Monday just to upload the pics for my blog. It’s really frustrating that it takes at least 1-2 hours for each picture, sometimes even longer! I took a break in the middle of the day and went to C. We walked to the market in her little village, Nanhimbi, and bought some crackers and buns. The buns were 1 Mts each and that equals approximately 25 öre in SEK. It’s really almost surreal – we don’t even have that small change anymore in Sweden and a bun like that could easily go for 5 SEK. A bottle of coke (300 ml) cost 3 SEK. And it just goes on like that. But then there is also a lot of things that are really expensive => mosquito repellant are at least 40 SEK for a stick and chips is 20 SEK for a small bag and if you need a 42˝ flat screen TV it’s about 21 000 SEK for brands like LG.

Yesterday I went into town to do some shopping for my new place. I had to get towels and bed linen. I also bought a blouse for 18 SEK. When things are that cheap it’s impossible for a shopaholic not to buy them. I still need a new torch though – the one I paid 65 Mts = ca 16 SEK (including the 3 batteries) didn’t last more than 24 hours… No surprise there I guess.

Today I’m moving to Jutta’s place so now I am going to start packing!
