Priceless

Everyday on my way to work I walk past this sign and it puts a smile on my face.
I'm sure if you look closely at the women in the 'after' photo, you will laugh too.

Meanwhile, there are some things that I am reading about in the neighbouring country that make me sad.

"Despite increasing concerns of violence in Zimbabwe, South African officials have said they can do nothing to prevent a Chinese shipment of arms from being delivered to the land-locked country."

Oh ya, and here is a photo of the highway through the copperbelt, its a proper highway with 2 lanes going each way. With the price of copper so high right now, it is a high priority to have these roads in good shape.

Copper is Zambia's main export and it was privatized about 6 years ago at the same time the prices started climbing. I have heard that you still have to import copper from South Africa if you want anything other than copper wire, which they do manufacture here.
