I wont lie to you, it goes out at least 4 times a week but my aunt has a solar power generator and lives in a pimp ass crib in Gombe. Im actually looking into providing solar panels in kinshasa for business $$$$$. When I was there I bought some expensive 3g usb so I could have nonstop internet but it wasnt that fast, also when my laptop ran out of power at the coffee shop I was pretty much out. Tho I used that time to go outside and mingle with the locals. Again, you lose luxuries but the experience was great.

Are you african? do you speak french or a dialect?

Good info, thanks. African American. I don't speak French (1 semester) but okay Kiswahili, and some Lingala + Kituba. I would definitely have a solar generator if it was cost effective.

^^Those airplane accommodations would almost make me forget the plane might fall out the sky.

One of your parents taught you the language? I'm a self-learner but the cool part is I haven't noticed any problems with dialect differences, at least communicating with people online.

I had a dream the other day I was in the M.E. Things did not go well. I'll take that as a warning and steer clear.

Kids pick up language in the household (like second gen mexicans/ricans) when their parents speak to them in it growing up. That's what my mom did, and probably what I'm going to do with my children.

I've been to Japan, various places in South America, France, Puerto Rico, D.R.

My fav spots were probably Japan and Colombia (love going back to my mom's birthplace). Planning on going to Greece and maybe Australia sometime in the near future. Would love to hit up Egypt, Russia, and Italy.

I was outvoted ... the logistics for the Brazil trip were getting to be a headache, so we explored other options. I wanted to stay in South America (Argentina and Chile in particular), but everyone else wanted to go to Iceland ... I even told them you people sure do love being around white people.
