Oddfeel, you have no idea how valuable your coverage from DCR is, as almost nobody goes there. So if you can/want, please don't hold back in sharing whatever you find. Posted 5 years ago

    I mean to say it's hardly visited by foreigners because of security issues. A lot of people want to visit but are scared and every government recommends against visiting. Posted 5 years ago

        because I am a badass I should say "no" (just kidding haha) nothing is really safe here and I am just talking about disease...even more nowadays with the Chinese people invading the country (yes the 2019-nCoV has its repercussions even here in DRC). Added to it, corrupted police, politicians, soldiers etc etc...so on a daily basis (if you understood how to behave) it can be ok to kind of live normally here, but be ready it can take fire tomorrow...

        you know I am not living in DRC all year long. I am working on a shift of 8 weeks in the country and then 8 weeks at home...pretty good rhythm that gives me 6 months/year enjoying my people... :p Posted 5 years ago
