Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year…
December 26th, 2009 | 
Author: To all my readers I wish you all bucket loads of joy and happiness in the coming year. Yes judging by the date, I should have posted this yesterday or before but man…I’m so busy!
But to do so I’ll have to drag myself from sampling the delights of the beach. (Of course sorry to those in the BIG Freeze – Our Christmas was spent in Bikini sipping chilled coconut…
No need to make you even more jealous
you get the idea! Nevertheless, I must say I do love truly white Christmases too but only once in a while )

Celebrating Sierra Leone Talent At The Poetry Night
Again this happened yesterday! We had a blast at the poetry night in Old School Friday night. I wrote about it some months ago here and I missed it a couple of times but last night’s was great! (although I forgot my camera 
)
Generally, people read poems they’ve written by themselves and some sing and showcase any musical talent they’ve got.

Everyday Mode Of Transport In Freetown
So how do we move about here in Sierra Leone? Bear in mind that the terrain here is mountainous. This is 
just to enlighten you just in case you’re coming for good and want to buy a car.
I’ll talk about private car first:
The best mode of transport here is a 4×4 
simply because of the mountainous terrain and the bad roads. Other cars will do, but they’ll struggle to get to some places. I’ve seen that only non 4×4 that can weather things better here is the Mercedes.

My Taxi Ride Hell In Freetown Salone!
Have you ever taken a taxi in Sierra Leone? If so then you’ll probably understand this 
incident that happened to me about two weeks ago, Nov 19th to be precise. We had taken the car to the garage and as usual, it was there for 4 days and it came back much worse than it went in.
Anyway, on the first day that it went, I decided to take a taxi to pick the children from school. This taxi was brought to me that truly looked like it was going to fall apart sooner than later.

TANCon Business Conference This Weekend at the Taia Resort.
Although, the investment conference that took place in London is over, but there’s still a lot of interest in Sierra Leone as an investment destination.
I went to a conference on private investment yesterday (continuing today) and it was interesting to see that there are international investors that have plenty of money to invest. The question is are there viable business to invest.
In the past some have taken their money back as they found no businesses or indeed viable business plans worthy of their cash, but I hope not this time.
C’mon , Mama Salone, let’s show them that indeed this is a good place to invest!

Grand Re-opening of Lagoonda!
Yep! Lagoonda re-opened last weekend amidst a lot of glitz and aplomb! I had to be there to see for myself:D I had heard so much of it but had never been there as it’s been closed since we’ve been here.
I must say, everything was well laid-out and the cocktail was delicious with plenty of food to go round. The Minister of Tourism was there and gave his speech encouraging the entertainment industry.
