Since we've arrived the dollar has slowly been losing value against the Rand. It has now dipped below 7, meaning what was expensive (just about everything) is now more expensive. We are looking forward to a eating a lot of pasta and beans and rice.
There are a few things here that I've discovered so far that are a better value than the states -like joining a gym. So we did. I am counting on that by simply signing up I am getting in shape. After all the pasta, rice and beans, I'll need it.
(Just kidding about sending money - we are going to get the kids afterschool jobs to supplement.)
Good thinking. An after-school job will whip those kids right in shape.
