The dollar
Sunday, March 30th, 2008 at 10:20 pm by ErkinThe dollar became 8.40 som, they say on the phone. For the people at home it is a bad thing, for me, one might say, a good one. The money I send, converted from roubles through dollars into som, is now worth more than in February. Mama laughed and said "your hands earn the exchange rate".
But I know what her shopping bag costs now. I will send a bit more this month, from the overtime. A man should not be glad of what hurts his family, even if it helps him.
