I do like to contemplate a good storm, especially tropical ones, when you actually feel them coming… the aroma of wet sand, dry wind and the sudden darkness throughout a sunny day followed by the big fat tingling drops.
It’s been raining a lot in Luanda, you might assume that is a gift,
“We’re in Africa!!! On TV it always look dry as hell”
, but nah! Not everyone enjoys the aesthetic appeal of it. Like in Europe no one wants to be caught in the rain, just get home as soon as possible to avoid the nightmare of traffic jam, flooded roads, etc it really gets chaotic.
Now imagine gettin to your place finally safe and all soaked "You, the Car and the House"! And tomorrow will be another day...

It's been 20 months already since I "first" landed in Angola, although it is said that time flies while you having fun! Here I’ve been feeling like I’m descending the fun on the wing of time! Every month I get a bit more tired, the apprehension and stress, triggers the emotional detachment on a tentative to operate intellectually reasonable, when the emotional connection would be appropriate…

And the "excuse" here is always the same ... the freaky town of Luanda! Friday, March 25, 2011

The intelligent dreamer, the smart lazy, the clever workaholic, the bright kid, the brilliant gold digger,the mysterious sensitive, the brainy player, the gifted not fully formed and so on...For all different reasons we’ve crossed paths in the bubble! Some sadly indifferently have left, more will accidently come and who knows who will intentionally stay in the picture!
Wish I could describe everyone without making assumptions, but all I can make out is based on spontaneous assessments with a huge lack of particulars, the ones that are probably the reason why most of us never hanged out in the same orbit before …

I feel oppressed and selfish to read this from the "backstage". Because although we call them crazy, there's a big tip of sense on what they're doing!

And today here I am, typing on my cute notebook until the battery survives. =)
Got home with power generator soundtrack, tried to do as much as I could using natural light, until I decided to get less bored at my aunty's place. She tents to act like my mum forcing me to have dinner every time I come by =)!
Found her sitting at the doorstep, sipping her cold beer from a glass that my mum labels as "Reco Reco" (or IKEA for the up to date generation, the ones we could break without making her get mad) and enjoying the fresh breeze.
We laugh with the fact that I forgot where I left something, again!!!!! This time was my Portuguese self phone.
“That’s what happens when you have home everywhere, kept those in Portugal, threw this away in UK, got that in Angola, forgot this in Australia...”
And we chat for a while... until she raised the deadlock question:

Topic of the week in Luanda, was a melon that a customer of "Casa dos frescos" (grocery shop) found on sale for the ridiculous price of 9.803.01kzs, 105.40usd.
He was so revolted with a Rip-off that decided to spread a complain letter in the form of email chain that everyone is talking about!!!hehehe Wondering that I used to complain for the price of 1$ per kiwi sold in Sydney, with New Zealand so close... In Portugal imported kiwis from New Zealand cost around 3 Euros/kg!!!! Funny hey????!
Welcome to the market of price speculation MATE!!!!!!!!

Apparently rained a lot during the night and even the airport runway was fluded! The plane I was traveling in was still able to land while I was looking at the window watching all that water, thinking:
"Hope this doesn’t get slippery"
... Guess what!?The next plane didn't have the same luck... fortunately was just a scary moment and nobody got hurt.
Where I'll be staying this time!
