Mozambique - a hidden Jewel

by Maputosimon - last update: Jan 27, 2008

Hellooo! I grew up in Maputo, Mozambique during the Civil War. Just after I left living there, it finished. Was there a connection? Dunno!

Anyway, In 2001 I went back for the first time in 9 years, so if theres anything you want to know about the real life there, please contact me. I still have family & friends there, and am pretty up to date. My email is: vt [at] roller-hedgehog.com

The photo is of me shortly after arriving in the UK from Mozambique - needless to say, growing up in a war amongst mainly Latino friends, had a deep effect on me! It took me around 2 years to get used to being in a 'civilised' country, and 6 months to learn colloquial English again.
