Have you missed me as much as I've missed you? Maybe you haven't noticed it all but I was away earlier this autumn but if you follow me on Twitter, you know that I was away for three months in Angola. Angola? The country between Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo? The country which was in a civil war for nearly 30 years which just ended in 2002 and the country which is still full of landmines? Yes, I'm talking about that Angola! A country which is the second largest oil exporter of Africa, rich of diamonds, unfortunately still full of landmines with Luanda, the capital, which is said to be the most expensive capital of the world, where a simple pizza can easily costs over US$ 35 or a beer in the supermarket up to US$ 5 or more!

Hello Arne,

Interesting article on Angola. 

I am a Canadian married to an Angolan and we live in Canada.  I'm always interested in hearing from people who have recently visited Angola.  I have flirted with the idea of doing some tourism over there but I am concerned because of what I hear about the difficulty in getting around. 

Was it a difficult place to get around in?

Please email me and let me know.

Thanks

Yourst truly,

Warren Viner
