412driver Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 After landing in one of the most remote locations I have ever been, yesterday. I took some photos of an older man coming across the river to visit us in his dugout canoe. So after a few minutes of trying to communicate with each other. where we think he was a fisherman and that he may have been telling us that the fishing sucked! I started to read his shirt, and noticed that it was from Manitoba! It just doesn't matter how far out I go in this world, some body from Manitoba has already been there. So we gave them a couple boxes of food, took some photos, said goodbye and carried on, off into the sunset. HEY....WHAT'S IT SAY ON THE SHIRT???? MY FAVORITE ONE WENT MISSING!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Quote

Gary Watson Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 It will be interesting to see if there is any change in Angola with the MPLA retaining power. If you are still in London check out the Prospect of Whitby, oldest pub on the Thames, built in the 1500s, good pub and the food in the restaurant was pretty good as far as the UK goes Quote
Hello-bird Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 Are the Brit's surrounding you when you land as well? Quote
Guest bag swinnger Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 A couple videos that one of the guys made from Angola. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS2GgVK6HT4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DsLHC5JYlI Quote
Gary Watson Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Great videos-showing the wealth of young, happy kids. Hopefully they will be allowed to grow up in the absence of the tragic events in other parts of Africa. Makes watching "Shake Hands with the Devil" all the more depressing when you see what some of the warlords do to kids that were quite likely no different than those in these videos. Quote
twinstar_ca Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 nice vids... and powerful stories in the background... Quote
