Point Noire Don't know who Mama Nunu is, nor where here place is. But what I do know is that it is worth while paying a visite to "Le Crépuscule". The place closes at 1 min to 8 in the morning and re-opens at 8 o'clock. Also La Terrasse, if still existing, is a nice place. Marc
Pics Hello,
I found the pictures in escarvos very interesting. Actually very sad to see people like that and I'm very blessed to live here in the U.S.A. That is good that you travel alot and please place your pics up. It make me feel that I have traveled as well. Really wish I could but with children its hard. Thank you for placing your pics....take care and hope to see more up soon.
Pointe Noire is a good place (in Africa that is) You got it. A really nice place. In fact it was so great down there that when the airport police sayd I could not travel back to Norway unless I paid 100 usd. I saluted "Yess" You got a deal mr Police man. "I'll be at the beach or casino until you change your mind. Then he decided to let me go anyway.
Well, good food, good beaches (if you watch your step) and friendly people is what you will find in Pointe Noire. On top of that they have a good hospital and a good food store. I will recomend the Safari Grill just across the Casino. Best restaurant in town.
Thank you It was lovely reading about your holiday. It made me remember my holoday in Senegal and the photos of the place are sooooo similar. I hop to get there again some time. Thanks Again... Barbara
fun i lived there as a white man when times were bad, but the pepole were good i miss my friends. i once had i lived there for a year. i saw alot of sadness, in the 90s.
ahw0126@hotmail.com Hello,
My husband is considering investment banking jobs in Nigeria to help them broker bond deals to fund infrastructure projects. But, I was thinking something a little tamer maybe like PNR? What is it like for American families there? Do you think they are looking for investment bankers? What type of work do you do. And, were you workingin PNR. I couldn\'t quite understand your reasons for being there. Thanks for answering in advance.
look what I found I typed in a search for Pt. Noire and bar into Yahoo, and your blog is what I found. I think I worked with you on the Comanche. Funny to see dave on the blog too. HA HA HA HA. Isn't Pt Noire a real tourist destination. Mama Nunu really knows how to take care of us, huh.
I just found this holy crap dude, you're a globetrotter, just like the CCP scriptures said! here's hoping you don't have to go to a doctor in the UK, and if you do, try to carefully check any cars nearby, it could save your life!
well work in pnr for almost 3 years the new air port is open now and is a lot better less probs with the police food is ok but all the bars sell the same fish or beef
before it was nice to run out of town to point inda but now all the bars and cafe out that way a closed well not all but most the land has be sold to a oil company or let out to them
hope to be back in pnr soon
Tks for Sharing I'm an ottawan, heading out for winterlude 2007! I appreciated your remarks and look forward to my day. thanks for taking the time to write such beautiful things about our city
Ahahaha. Is it terrible that I laughed my way through this entire entry? Even though you're not experincing the best of times, someday you'll look back at this one adventure and chuckle to yourself. I really would have loved to see the monkies break free. :D

Thanks for the comment! Fantastic work you guys did! I can only imagine how tough it must have been creating it :) Thanks for the info about it too.
Nice to know you came in 3rd place! Yay Nova Scotia! Good luck in your future sculptors.
The only true art piece Howdy, I am 1 of the sculptors who was at the winterlude festival in Ottawa. The snow sculpture that you say is the only true art piece is ours. it is not a ring it is a piece about snow sculpting, there are 3 people to a team and they must come to one head in order to win a competition,They appear to be dancing because that is the way we liken our style of carving, dancing around the block. The overall shape is that of an egg, that represents the birth of the idea. This is an abstract piece and we finished third in this national competition.
regards
Nigel Maney, Team nova Scotia

Adventures of a metalhead!
My name is Jim, I'm 27, and like most of you on this site, I crave adventure!
After wandering around various countries for the past couple of years, I came across this page. It will be a good place to showcase my future buffonery. Maybe I'll update it with past experiences as well.
This sight needs a massive upgrade: As of July (June?) I have three more entries to throw up: Aberdeen Scotland, Newcastle UK, and Ijmuiden Netherlands. Stay tuned! I'm sloooow with putting things up.
-Even more updates are needed after a computer crash (gah!). As I type this (ja... full info
