ZIMBABWE
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in Africa which is home to a lot of paradoxes. Once upon a time it was a very rich country and is believed to be the biblical land of Ophir from where King Solomon received gifts of gold and platinum.
Zimbabwe is home the world's largest waterfalls, Victoria Falls also shared by Zambia. The country has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa but the lowest life expectancy in the world. Hunger is a major problem here.
Shona tribe consists of 70% of Zimbabwe's population. Zimbabwe has 16 official languagew, the most for a country in the world. The people here believe that men with a big stomach are wealthy. The land is also home to Vadoma people who are 'the two-toed tribe' which is for the reader to find out why.
My friend Beverly sent me a postcrossing meetup card from Bulawayo which is the first ever postcrossing meetup in the country on the day of the meetup. The postmark is not that clear though. However I love it.
