The Congo! Kinshasa

Ever been to the Congo???? Kinshasa to be exact?? I have and what an experience!! This was the view out of my first hotel. I say first because the Congo is a French speaking country and unfortunately I do not have a lot of French in my vocabulary! This hotel was not very english speaking friendly, which is a shame as it is a beautiful hotel. But I did move and really enjoyed my time here!
This gives life to Robocop!! It is a fully functioning robo traffic cop in Kinshasa!! It was awesome to see!! It really reminded me of Japan although I didn’t see anything like this here I did see mechanical road signs in Japan!!!
This was call a croque hawaiian!! lol A grilled ham and cheese with a slice of pineapple! It was actually better than I thought it was going to be, but not something I considered ordering again!
So the Congo has a lot of interesting wildlife and flora to see! Some is quite beautiful!!
A local Thai restaurant had this in their dinning area! The name of the restaurant is Carpe Diem and had surprisingly really good Thai food!!!
Another picture of the Congo River!!
