Local politics Brazzaville
Actually this is not the country politics but the office one. I am glad to finish teh packing and now back in Brazzaville 4th floor office again. I can feel the tension that has been building upver the years with Willy and the locals. Each time there is a change of expats they start to ask to do this and that. But they are not capable to to organise anything so in the end it was Willy who has to organise all that. This year they want to do do much and there are a lot more expats and expats houses to atke care. I wonder if Willy will be able to do all. I remember how we have to work with the locals here. They really need details instruction and guidance. Actually they need supervision every step of teh work. WOnder what will happen if everything is leave to them to organised. Actually tehy have to fall back to the white people again. Like RDC they still need super power for support before they can do anything. RC Congo right now want to get China involved. They want support from China that's why right now this year, I am going to go to Thailand with Ethiopian airline. A lotof Congolese Chinese people travel this route and avoid Europe all together. I am very keen on having the house in Brazzaville soon. I went to see Myriam yesterday and after seeing her ,it look very promising that I will get a house for sure but I have to keep looking. I have enough connection to do all these. Also I need to get pedicure and MAssage and many other peripherals service. I don't want to go to salon. There are less expats here than somewhere else. Lilianne De la Court has an old house on river bank. I think it is more romantic and less violent than teh sea or teh ocean. We did enjoy the ocean for 4 years. Now the people I have diner with last night want to go to Malonda. They don't like to go away for Christmas. It was a good idea because they can do so much in Pointe Noire and relax. Now that there are 4000 expats at least in Pointe Noire , there are more activities than before during Christmas time. I am glad we decided to go to Thailand. And in March go to Belgium to take care of teh registration. I think it is important to do that and I still don't see the bill for Isabelle's schooling yet.Did Franklin organise everything for the plane ticket yet. I will ahve to do mine myself. i prefer. Now everything is stuck. I want to buy rice today. WHat kind of rice do I want to buy. Do I need to explain everything to the cook. Can he do thing the way I want. He is polite but eh doesn't know much what to do. Wil he definitely follow my instruction. I wonder what kind of thing he is going to make. What elase do we do next. May be I have to go down and let them know what to do. There is no way to call or anything. And they don't want to come up and bother me. I think. My intention today is to find the correct house. I am not going to stay in that unfinished one that Sylvie show me.
