Great. Thanks for the information Cynthia.
I remark most of foreigners place if they speak english or not french start meet poeple in the office first and then with them the can meet other contacts.
With this can of website most of the time it's not easy for an english person to meet poeple who speak english too.
But i hope you're have now somes contacts and dont feel alone DFRA80

Congo could be the bast place to get friends if you are local or if you are interest in one night stand with a "friendly" local girl, of course if your are whiling to help her afterwards and take the risk to have a "scene" when your help is not high enough.

You need to be careful when you go out, because unfortunately if you dont speak french you can have a special time.

Samuel,

Website are not for freaks, is for people that want to have real and good information, and in this case, to be prepare to Congo.
