Jesus Christ! 25$ is insane! I can understand them being more expensive than local stuff, but damn!
It has a lot to do with currency problems in Angola. The Kwanza (their currency) bounces from a 3rd world currency to a commodity currency depending on oil prices and if the current government is allowing drilling and allowing it's citizens to work.
It's a complicated mess. But when the Kwanza is crashing, inflation soars rapidly.
I didn't know it was that bad over there. Thought the only real country so locked in to cause that much of a mess via inflation was Venezuela...
