Conakry Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Entrée de Conakry, au km 36, les berets rouges veulent nous faire chier pensant qu'ils peuvent nous faire peur pour prendre un petit pourboire. Je n'aime pas leur attitude et j'en ai strictement rien à foutre. Voyant que l'on était tous munis de nos passeports, ils nous demandent le carnet de vaccinations ( !).

Back in Guinea. I didn't have enough euros to write a good blog in Paris. I go back up country tomorrow so I thought I'd take a stab at writing today before I leave Conakry. My whole purpose in going back to America was to be in the wedding of my childhood friend Leah. We met when I moved to Indiana from California when I was 10 at the church my...

As things stand now, nobody will be visiting Guinea for a while, which is a shame because it is one of the most beautiful countries I have had the pleasure of visiting. Landscapes dominated by...

You'll never guess what happened at dinner last night. Some of my co-horts and I were sitting around the table just finishing eating and talking and laughing and having general fun on our last night together before taking off this morning for our teaching posts, when a young couple walked by our table. I waved. And continued talking. The young l...
