Sh'mal: Stay tuned! I spent the day meeting with the minister of technology the minister of information. Then, we did a live special at the national news station. Of course, I took lots of photos and even recorded the whole thing in audio (in French). The town frightened me so much I didn't go out all day until I was with my host, but it's sweet!

Sh'mal: Stay tuned! I spent the day meeting with the minister of technology the minister of information. Then, we did a live special at the national news station. Of course, I took lots of photos and even recorded the whole thing in audio (in French). The town frightened me so much I didn't go out all day until I was with my host, but it's sweet! Military all over, but not the usual intimidating ones. These are indigenous post-war local military who are...nice, if you can say that. The Alliance Francais hosted a mixer and the ministers were there, so we drank together and are big buds now. My talk is tomorrow, but hardly anyone speaks English, so a) I'm not nervous and b) I have an interpreter. Cake. My French is exponentially better.

Then, the real adventure begins because I'll be here a few days to see the jungle and the Congo River.

The parrot is hard to see. It's in the top right of the photo. I'll try to get some video. Definitely will get more photos. Stay tuned for tales of my favorite organic food on the Congo: saka-saka (google it) made from the ubiquitous cassava plant.
