Festival, photographs and helluva lots of cash!

Festival Fever has hit the city! Yep there are people everywhere and what an atmosphere it is! As my two wonderful Aussie flatmates are both working at one the most popular show venues I am experiencing the festival in a new and very exciting way! Many, many parties! Some in a crowded and trendy cowbarn and others sipping champagne at 5* star hotels. I love the randomness of it all.


I'm currently working very few hours but things are happening slowly. In the meantime I am learning to play guitar plus free to enjoy what the festival has to offer. I've taken a few photos and posted them on Flickr and I was very happy to receive an email from a journalist in Vancouver asking if she can use them for her article on the Edinburgh Fringe.
Another great thing is the Edinburgh Marathon organisers kindly donated £50 to Amnesty International on my behalf to say thanks for my efforts.

I really can not believe this...

Zimbabwe has devalued its dollar and will, as of Tuesday, have new bank notes that will have three zeros less than the current ones.

I know that it makes things much simpler as no longer will people have to drive around with truckloads of cash, but now they are living in a somewhat false economy. It does not make sense to me. The Government are now paying to re-print all the notes and shall call them 'kilo dollars'. What next?
