Yeah, the averange Zambian cant own consoles, they usually go to arcades, or chip their ps2/360s or get cracked PC games. but PC games are 1. cheap. 2, available. 3. Span generations (cant play NFS Undercover, fine play Most wanted, cant run that? Okay Hot Persuit 2, cant run that? geez, High Stakes, CANT RUN THAT? Then dont bother). As for prices, I'll give examples of basic commodities and then you can decide just how expensive games are. $1=k5200 Bread K3500, milk 300ml K3500, Blank CD K3000, 2.5 KG Cake flour K20000. A new original 360/PS3 game costs k300000 to k450000. An 80 gig PS3 costs k3500000. A 360 arcade k1500000, 60gig 360 k3300000. A receiptionist makes like k3,700,000 a month, others get up to k18,000,000. |
You make it sound it's normal in Zambia to own a PC and stuff.
Also I find it strange that you describe the lowest example of a job income as a 'receptionist' earning $700 per month!
It must be a very unique, luxury receptionist at a luxury hotel in Mombasa or the receptionist for Daimler-Chrysler Zambia or something?
Because $700 is almost what an average receptionist makes in Portugal and Greece, and a lot more than a receptionist earns in countries like the Czech republic, Mexico, Brazil or Taiwan.
You seem to be a bit isolated in your own world of so called 'middle class' people in Zambia who in fact are quite rich and priviliged, and who seldom meet normal average Zambians.
Nevertheless, your description is very interesting and you must not be offended by my words.
