that's ridiculous, i think you have no idea how impoverished the people are there.
"I mean it is holiday time in SL, kids off school etc: height of rainy season.
SL people take long holidays to europe from July to end of August it is like their winter if you like and planes are full.
Was refering to locals."
sounds like your talking about suburbia. not SL they are not taking extended stays to europe on that income
8. Sierra Leone – $747 average yearly income
Sierra Leone is a poor west African country that has English as its official language. Over the years however the locals have used English to derive their own language called Krio. It uses English vocabulary but the grammar comes from 12 different African languages. As is the case with a lot of the top 10 poorest countries, Sierra Leone is also one of the largest diamond manufacturers of the world. If you have seen the movie Blood Diamond you should know that it is based on Sierra Leone.
Between 1991-2001 about 50 000 people were killed in the countries civil war, leaving the people even poorer than they were before. At least 500 000 people fled to neighboring Guinea and Liberia. While everyone is required to go to school, the shortage of schools means that the law requiring to get an education can not be followed. About 66% of adults are illiterate. The health care system also leaves a lot to complain about. Sierra Leone has one of the highest infant mortality rates and lowest life expectancy in the world. No wonder Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries of the world.
