Diplomatic protocol in Brazzaville

For american style person like myself it is quite something to contact people here in Brazzaville. Off course you ahve the cell phone number and you can call any one you want on the list once you get the list of a handful of expats wifes in the city. But after that when you need to go see them it is quite a big deal. You need to present yourself in front of the gate with high wall. Then you have say who you are and what business you have with the person in side then they will give a call as security measure this is a good practice but the mssge did not get through to the person you want to see it sometimes stop right in front door of the person's office. Today I went to see some one in South African embassy. After giving the guard in front door the name and id card and got the visitor batch we went inside and sit in the waiting room. We wait for a long time ,the congolese guy in front always say Mr Linda is busy with some one. Finally I decide to call him on the cell phone and when he pick up the phone he had no idea thatw e were waiting in there for sometimes already. Anyway we got to talk with him and we are set to go see the house tomorrow. The big step we got today is that we get to see the house of Lilliane and found a very good agent. I think this kind of house will be great to get but we only in 2nd position. The first one is some one from European union. I don't want to deal with the first real estate agent we got from teh street. taht was the worst. He always show us the opposite of what we want and now taht I know what is available and who can I deal with I am very happy to deal with Antoine.
