    • If you find yourself in Luanda, I would say that you have already gone "off the beaten path."

    Sure, you're going to find the typical African tourist attractions like the shanty towns built in and around burned out factories, women walking about town with heavy loads on their head, war heroes who now carry crutches instead of guns, people literally living on the streets, chickens procreating in the street; you know, all the things that make life in a large West African city raw, interesting, unimaginable and all too real.

     Do you still live in Luanda? I live here too! Beer at Zanzibar or Miami?    		Bwana_Brown Sun Aug 12, 2007 18:42 UTC
     Great tips on an exotic destination that has always held a fascination for me! I loved your 'diplomat' scam for an easy entry into the country! Nice to see they are on the road to recovery after the wars.
