I like the title of this post… it is quite appropriate. So yes, hello world. After several years abroad, I am going back to my native Congo. It has been 6 years since the last time I was there, and in fact, it is the first time in 20 years I am going to be there for this long (a few months, maybe more).
I have endured devastating trials and tribulations in the USA, as well as great moments that I will never forget, and great friendships that will last forever. Now, I am going back home, which is exciting, but also brings with it its own set of trials and challenges. I have grown to be - I must admit - quite a Westernized Liberal, during my time in the US, and I do not know how I will be able to navigate the weight and tediousness of some aspects of my own native culture… just the fact that this is an issue in my head is concerning to me. And then there is the ever present corruption, the constant power outages, the rarity of water at the faucet, the lack of basic services, and the poor transportation system (which is going to be the greatest challenge, after being so used to the MTA in New York). When you add to this the new restrictions on my movements that I am foretold, especially at night, for safety and distance reasons (we live in an outlying suburb), you can understand that I am a bit anxious and apprehensive… which is frustrating to me because I love my country, and I resent having to feel apprehensive to live in it.
But I have prepared myself as best I could, and I am looking forward to going back home, despite the challenges. I will try - as safely as possible - to document my time, the issues I faces, the cool things I encounter, the debates I am suggested, and how life simply is in Kinshasa, especially as I am trying to get employed for the time I am there. In many ways this will be an expat-blog… well, more like a non-expat expat blog. See, in Congo, I have all the assets of an expat:
- US-educated
- Multilingual
- Worldly
- World citizen
- Computer and Internet litterate
- Itunes-addicted
- Feels your pain
- Eager to save the world
all the inconvenients of an expat:
- Mistrusted
- Outsider
- Feared
- conned
- disoriented
- Foreign-thinking, sounding, and acting
and none of the expat advantages:
- a shiny SUV with a shiny logo (UN, Red Cross, CARE, etc) that opens some doors by its mere presence; with a driver
- an expat-level salary waaaaay beyond what 95% of the Congolese people could dream to make, that allows them to live like kings in Congo
- a foreign passport guaranteeing them evacuation should things get too dicey
- and, let us be completely honest, white skin (or at least a “non-African” ethnic look) which - in a country still reeling from the complexes and fears born out of colonialism - is still a mark of wealth and authority, given priority and precedence in many instances, even when junior in rank, station, education and knowledge. (To carricature, think of the educated Congolese man as a black A-student from the University of Idaho, and some expats as the C-student from Yale. Somehow the latter always has more chances to be President than the former…)
So those are the realities I am preparing to face. I will have to learn to be somewhat of a second-class citizen in my own country (actually, third-class, since the expats are already second to the rich Congolese elites), after fighting discrimintaion in the US… a brother can’t catch a break!! But I really shouldn’t complain. I will have a car, and I have a strong family to support me. So, I am better than the average Congolese citizen, who is about sixth or seventh-class… ;)
I digress. So this blog: My life, back in the Congo. I hope you come back and read some of the stuff I write, and that I can bring some insight on this beautiful yet suffering country that I love, through my own experiences there. I will also write and/or post things that just randomly interest me, regardless of whether it linked to the Congo (I think that is what bloggers do, no?) This new blog , at Wordpress, is is a continuation of this blog, African in America.
Happy reading!

I'm done with paying so much for tobacco cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers supreme Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

This is yet another time Real Madrid has failed to advance to the quarterfinals; the team hasn’t made it since 2004. This year seemed to have incredible potential for Madrid, which was enjoying a winning streak and beginning to balance all the great new talent Coach Pellegrini purchased last summer. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid football club[/url] In the match against Zaragoza, Real Madrid dominated the game from the first minute, coming close to scoring at minute 2 when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a clear option after goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez cleared the shot from the Portuguese. Minutes later, the Whites kept control of the ball while Real Zaragoza was trying to close the spaces and the opportunities for the Meringues in their area.
Espanyol entered the second half rejuvenated, motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to control the field. Nevertheless, the team was far too inconsistent and never quite managed to threaten Madrid’s area. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ricardo kaka[/url] For Racing Santander, only Oscar Serrano was able to convert during solo action, passing Rafa Marquez and kicking a thunderous left-footed drive in off post.

No "Fillers" in Homemade Dog FoodSearching for natural or organic dog food that is devoid of preservatives, chemicals or fillers will take up lots of time with terrible results. A lot of commercial dog foods are cheaply made to fill the stomach. These foods may be loaded with rice, grains and fillers that have little if any nutritional value. Research shows that animals require natural veggies and meats. Most dog owners are just as worried for the health of their pets as they are regarding their own health.

Exercise Doesn't Have to Be a ChoreMany people shy away from exercise as it is just another chore to do. But exercising need not be a chorewhat can count as exercise can depend on many factors. If one hates exercise, then consider shopping at the mall a work outall that walking makes a big difference. Other activities that count are gardening, cleaning the house, walking the dog, and dancing. That being said, I do like our new fridge with the filtered water dispenser what luxury!! plus ice, love it, and I also have an old Aquasana water filter which I was given when I was pregnant. I try to remember to fill my bottles here, but somehow mostly seem to use it for washing my hair--great for really soft hair! I am curious to hear how people use water. Do you drink tap? Reverse osmosis filtered? What do you think of fluoride in tap water? Whatever type of water you drink, remember to drink enough. The Mayo Clinic suggests about 13 cups of water for men and about 9 cups for women--obviously this depends on your personal size and activity level. I think a glass of wine probably with dinner rather than breakfast, but I guess that depends if you work days or nights... is good too I think, but that is a discussion for another time. I have been doing waterless meals for about six months and am ten pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight, with no dietary changes. So try drinking your water between meals rather than with them for a few weeks and let me know how it goes! There are different ways to lose weight, however if you want to know how to loose weight fast then you should know some of the ways to reduce cravings. Reduced cravings for junk food will help you stay on track to make you achieve your weight loss goals. http://wegreencoffeebeanextract.net/
