You combine photography and travelog text so beautifully. Amazing, bro!

This caught my eye, particularly:

"In this country there is no gasoline, but cars are all over the road. There's no food, but everybody is cooking dinner. They have no money, but everybody is dancing and drinking rum!"

Is there a huge underground economy? I found the same type of thing while visiting Ukraine years ago, where the average salary was $50/month, and the average rent a bit higher, and yet everyone seemed to be OK....???
