DRC and GABON

OK..Been there, Done that..Am sure most of you have heard that phrase...Well, i have been to those two countries and might i just add that they are the most Pocket unfriendly countries in the world...The Hotels were just too much...I mean, Formula one standard but they cost more than USD450 per night....The food if you are not used to it is also a problem...Did i mention that everything was expensive..?I bought Pizza for USD26 and 230ml coke bottle for USD4...If you have money to waste and yet you don't know what to do with it, i suggest you go to these two countries...I had to PAY USD50 un-receipted amount (bribe) to a clearing agent so that my course guides could be released...

Now Gabon is paradise compared to the DRC...Atleast i could take lots of pictures when i was in Gabon, the DRC on the other hand was something else...I was not allowed to openly take pictures...I honestly think that on any given day, i would never go there voluntarily...NEVER...Its just that i have work, thats why i have to go there...Language barrier is even bigger...Gabon was better, 1 in every 50 people i met could speak a few english words, whereas DRC, one in 100 could speak English...Now, you all know that this is a problem if you are not going to meet 100 people...

I came back from DRC and i was sick within 3 days....Luckily the Dr managed to keep me alive.. For anyone going to these countries, word of advice, Take all your medication, carry lots of money, and learn French...

GABON & DRC

What comes to mind when you think of Gabon and the DRC? In most cases people think of Civil unrest, some think of War, some think of MONEY....Oil Money..These are some of Africa's richest countries, with so much Oil Reserves. Infrustracture, i am not sure about what to expect, so look out for PICS in the next Two weeks. I will be in Gabon on the 30th January until the 06th of February, then DRC on the 06th Feb to 12th Feb...First visit there, so will let you know how it is...Anyway, the Countries seem to be Extremely Expensive as well..Can't Wait peeps...Any people From Gabon and DRC should hook me up with Places to go..
