A few more...sorry for the camera phone shots mixed in, but my Canon is broken and I'm not exactly a great photographer anyways.

Traffic in front of my office every day:

Should be. I'm heading out in April for a couple of weeks but I should be back by the first week of May. Planning on heading this way?

And for the record, I'm the tin can in the bottom left of the picture.

I knew that was you, I was just kidding about the yellow flag.

I should be there for may. I'll let you know. Though I could be running around the country like a freaking retard, but I'll let you know about that too.

These days I keep my clothes on while doing it, though.

It's not the rain that sucks in Luanda, it's the open manholes that the rain hides.

I don't think the train is coming anytime soon.

Looks like an awesome place - chaotically so. Thanks for sharing NIJ, nice one

(p.s. where are all these Chinamen one hears about taking over in Angola?)

Cheers

Hiding mostly. They have their own work camps and tend to stay behind the walls unless absolutely necessary. I'll snap some pics of work crews though just for you.
