My assignment in Congo
Many people see Congo as a danger place and many negative points, “The heart of darkness” as Joseph Conrad called Congo, with it brutality and violence. Contrary, in my 5th years I spent in Congo, I still get surprised with the beauty of this land. In fact, I fell in Love with Congo since first time I landed to this country on 30th December 2005.
