A glimpse of life in d.r congo
D.R. Congo is a country that is full of beauty, wonder, and mystery. Every time I travel home, I feel renewed and rejuvenated. Here is a small glimpse of life in D.R. Congo. From Kivu: Goma; Bukavu to Kinshasa. Of course, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. D.R. Congo has a lot of negatives as we all know it, but I tend to focus on the positives on my blog and social media—to paint a different narrative of Congo. We see enough of the negative aspects of Congo, why add more fuel to the fire?
1. Portraits of Virunga Mountain gorillas at Orchid’s in Bukavu.
2. Lunch in Goma- Lac Kivu Lodge
(Goma is known to have the best cheese, sausage, and potatoes.)
3. Primus Beeer
It’s locally brewed beer and my American friend I traveled with drank it every single day.
4. Art by a local artist in Bukavu
5. The best ntaba (goat meat) I’ve ever had in my life.
This goat meat took three hours to make, and we were so over it at some point. I, unfortunately, do not recall the name of this bar; I will have to ask around again, but I can tell you it was the most ratchet rooftop bar in Bukavu. The vibes were great, but the service was horrible. However I was licking my fingers
6. An orange. Yes, it’s green.
7. Ballers hoopin’ on the court in Kinshasa
8. Random wall mural in Goma
9. More food because that’s what I do. Eat. At Lola’s/Rotana in Kinshasa.
