I didn't snapped much pictures because on getting to Luanda, i ran out of battery and unfortunately, their socket for charging is 2-pin round unlike nigeria.
SO, most pictures i would have taken in the morning in Luanda, Soyo, Cabinda and Malongo were not taken but i promise to do the needful when enter town again.

It was a long and a bit stressful journey.
Had to travel from Lagos to Dubai for stop-over before traveling from Dubai back to Africa (Luanda)

Cabinda is an autonomous region in Angola. In other words, you will need to take a different permit to enter the region as if you are going to another country.
You will pass through immigration when going out and in of Cabinda.
They fought a bitter war for years with the Angola government to secede because most of the Oil is in the region but the war ended 20 years ago.

Get an international travel adapter the next time you visit another country.

Have a great time in Angola!

I suspect this bottle water company is being owned by a Nigerian (I guess an Igbo man) because the name “Mazi” sounds Igbo.

Igbo kwenu …. Heyyy

Angola is expensive and has a language barrier .How do you manage there?

Re: A Little Time In Angola by Cousin9999: 4:58am On Jun 08, 2022

Snap some pics of the food, and let one of the locals show you how to dance to semba or kizomba.

The enviroment i am working in is mostly by foreigners who speak english and the few angolans with us speak english too.

About been expensive, well i think is it affordable to me and don't really feel it.
I think the cost of living is just normal.

How is your side bro? Longest time

Re: A Little Time In Angola by emmaodet(op): 1:49pm On Jun 08, 2022

43,000 kwanzas makes $100

Funny thing about this is that during covid and low oil price, their currency devalued to 75,000 kwanzas for $100 but has pushed back to 43,000 during this high oil price.

In Nigeria, naira devalued during covid and low oil price and still devaluing during high price.

I was given 1 month visa but it has a funny way of working.

Even though given 1 month visa, i can stay where i am in Cabinda for as long as God knows but once i leave the area i am in Cabinda, na home be that.

ALso, out of the 1 month, i only have a grace of 15 days to roam about anywhere in Angola after which i need to restrict my movement to the area i am in Cabinda
