More issues with money

Spending dollars while earning Rands is not the most pleasant thing to do, cos you have very little to begin with and fokol left at the end of the day after food and living expenses.

And yet we are constantly being forced to pay for all these fuck ups that we're experiencing. Like ehen I first arrived, I had 2 boxes of contact lenses zikked from my hotel room, that's 6 months supply!! And then my camera got stolen. And then Sean's car got busted into, and then, and then, and then...

So check this call I apparently made today, a 4 hours plus call costing me 40-something dollars! WTF?! By the way, you pay for incoming calls here, how fucked up is that?! And so I was forced to recharge with another $25!

And if you thought that was bad - Sean went into overdraft on his checking account. And for every transaction he made, he was charged $33! Like his $5 lunch today actually cost him 38 bucks! He owes the bank close on $200 now! This fucking place is FUCKING me off!

UPDATE: Hah! They refunded me. Now I have like $65 credit. And my calls get recharged tomorrow with $70 - that's like $135 of calls for the month! Expect some random calls this weekend boys!
