Harare×Santo Domingo
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Harare uses the ZWL ($) and Santo Domingo uses the DOP ($). Language shifts too — Chibarwe in Harare, Spanish in Santo Domingo. Be careful behind the wheel: Harare drives on the left, Santo Domingo on the right.
