World Cup - African Style





Here's so you can get a feeling of what the World Cup viewership is like in town here. If you've read my Amadou & Mamoudou blog below you'll know this is Mamoudou and his buddies from neighboring houses.

While many of you sit around on cozy sofas with drinks and snacks, or others are inside a neighborhood pub enjoying the general friendly football atmosphere, we here in Port-Gentil don't need to actually watch the matches (thank God). I just check in on these guys out in the street to see what the score is every once in a while. Or even better, I send Jourdain and Cecilia out for me.
