As I stopped for a toilet break on the South African side, signs placed above each lavatory summed up just how far Zimbabwe's economy had fallen.
"Toilet paper only", they read. "No newspaper, no cloth, no Zimbabwe dollars."
I've been sick in bed for a day and a half with just a radio for entertainment (have finally worked up the energy to wield a laptop). Have listened to the radio so incessantly that I've heard numerous shows more than once.
The above quote struck me as outrageous and depressing, a real illustration of the crisis in Zimbabwe.
