Zambia a landlocked Southern African country which has very little
population compare to her size, only 11 million. The country's size is
almost like western Europe. A former British colony so tea is part of
their daily life. in 60's the country used to be rich as a major copper
producer and one of the richest African country. When copper price fell
down in the international market the country became one of the poorest
country in the region but still one of the richest country in the world
for her natural beauty. I visited a cooper mine field and found out the
price is again 85%% high in the international market for electronic
production boom in China. Zambia is well known for world famous
Victoria Falls, mighty Zambezi river, Bangweulu swamps, Luangwa river
valley and Sir Tomas Livingston's...

A great read, thank you, Ripon.

My father's family are ex-pats from Zambia, having been there since the
60s. Some of my earliest memories are the smells of tea from their
house. There is a lovely photograph that my mother likes to bring out
of the family's pet monkey watching over my pram. :)
