    I loved the place. But I did have a hectic lifestyle, though. I worked hard and long hours. Weekends were fun though. Yes, mainly a white town, but black workers commuted in by bus and taxi during the day. Large townships nearby.

    I've never been to Mozambique, unfortunately. Oh -- actually I have been to Mozambique once. But it was only through the border post at Pafuri in northern Kruger, so I could get a Moz stamp in my passport.

    Lol, tell me about it. My life in Angola wasn't much different as I used to work 12 to 14 hours a day from Monday to Saturday. Your town seems a lot more chilled though, I am assuming you could walk by foot in there in broad day light and during the night as well?

    Lucky you. I had a grocery story just 300 meters away from my place and I had to go there by car, even during the day. Doors always locked.

    Wow, even during the day? I guess your home must then have had a lot of security?

    Sure, it had security with Kalashnikovs at the entrance of the private condominium/gated community. Luanda is the most overcrowded and dangerous place though, outside of it is a lot safer.

    Not that it made you feel entirely more safe though, once I was arriving home during late night and the security was so drunk that he even let the Kalashnikov fall in front of me

    No, I did not actually. I worked in a more isolated area, 30 km from Luanda. It would take in a good day 2 hours to arrive there (yes, the traffic is that insane). On a bad day I could be stuck in traffic for nearly 4 hours.

    Are you surprised by the security though? Is it much different in South Africa? I actually always thought that South African urban areas were actually more dangerous than Angola.
