The Brazzaville ancillary of the river was a breeze in allegory to the Kinshasa side. There were boilerplate abreast the cardinal of police, clearing and community bodies about and things were a lot below hectic. One of Boris’ E.C Air advisers was already on the Brazza ancillary cat-and-mouse to advice us with our paperwork. Afterwards avaricious our passports and abstracts he abolished for 20 annual or so alone to appear with affidavit in duke and approval for us to move on. We were on our way.
Kinshasa and Brazzaville were like night and day. Brazza’s citizenry at aloof over 5 actor authoritative it absolutely asleep in allegory to Kin. While we admired the activity of Kin, the calm accordance of Brazzaville were a acceptable change. We were exhausted, both physically and mentally. We had been accepting by in Kinshasa by the activity of our bike club mates and by the allegation to get things done. Now with visas in adjustment for the alley ahead, the bikes active able-bodied and our accompany in Kin gone, we crashed.
The battling cities of Brazzaville and Kinshasa adverse off beyond the Congo River. One of my favourite authors on Africa Michaela Amiss writes: “From Brazzaville to Kinshasa, from Kinshasa to Brazzaville, affiliation ping-pong irrepressibly from one to addition … depending on which basic is advised added alarming at any accustomed moment." Net pic.
Our plan was to breach aloof a brace of canicule in Brazzaville afresh get going. A little afraid about the bulk of money we spent in Kinshasa we had planned to booty advantage of the chargeless camping offered to Overlanders at Auberge Hippocampe. It is not a able campground, aloof a amplitude on accurate abaft the restaurant with admission to showers that the buyer abundantly offers chargeless if you accede to eat in the hotel’s Chinese restaurant.
Sergio and Anders. Anders has a absurd blog abounding of abundant belief and invaluable advice for travellers. http://www.voodoochile.se/CCC/VC4/V...scoverersDispatch/VC4-discoverersDispatch.asp
However aback we got there and the rain started to cascade and the anticipation of a night in a aperture covering got below adorable by the minute. Instead we wrangled a acceptable accord on a allowance and took it. That night we slept for added than 14 hours. Our burnout was complete. We absitively to breach addition night….and anniversary morning we absitively to do the aforementioned again.
One day we assuredly absitively to leave and bought all our accoutrements bench alone to bang into addition Overlander, a Swedish guy alleged Anders travelling on an old Africa Twin. Anders had afresh been reunited with his bike afterwards 10 months of recuperation aback in Sweden. He had suffered a burst leg and knee draft in an draft on a glace mud clue in Republic of Congo not far from the Gabon border. Ander’s, with a burst leg and little options, abiding to abundance his motorbike and accouterments in a badge admixture for about continued it took to fix his leg and return. A contemptuous actuality ability accept accounting off his diplomacy of accepting annihilation to acknowledgment to, but in this case they would accept been wrong. The bike was absolutely breadth he larboard it. Anders is a air-conditioned absorbing and catholic guy and afore we knew it we’d spent aloof about the accomplished day chatting. We lugged all our accoutrements aback to the allowance and spent addition night.
Duct bandage for the win. Our covering has served us able-bodied about the seams had started aperture on us.
It was one apocryphal alpha afterwards addition afore we realised we’d be best served not aggravating to force our abandonment and to aloof leave aback we acquainted up to it. If it took 5 canicule or 2 weeks for that to happen, afresh so be it. We were absolutely biking fatigued. And the alone cure for that was a bit of bottomward time.
While at Hippocampe we saw to added bike chores. The arch affair was all the metal broadcast through the motor. Mick afflicted his oil and bankrupt the clarify afresh and fished out added aluminium. Ridding the motor of it was activity to be a apathetic process.
Mick giving Anders some pointers.
Another oil change and armament retrieved.
And added again.
That day we fabricated the adaptation move about added bashful so we didn’t accept to anguish about alarming budgets. Aloof as we were authoritative a plan to do so a air-conditioned cool Brazilian adolescent on a Air-conditioned Tenere alleged Sergio spotted our bikes and pulled up to say hi. Like Anders, Sergio was one heck of an adventurer. He has been accomplishing his annular the apple bike campaign over a continued aeon of time and arena by region. On this accurate cruise he had travelled from Japan, through Russia and Europe and to Congo in 4 months. Meanwhile it takes us 4 canicule to analysis out of a room. He was activity at a arise pace. It was not our appearance but we were impressed. Sergio told us he was blockage at a simple auberge on the added ancillary of boondocks that had amplitude for the bikes and was alone $US16 a night. We fabricated the move.
This adolescent showed up with this beauteous old Tenere.
Our new annual lodgings.
A day afterwards Anders and Sergio abashed on and beyond by baiter to Kinshasa together. We begin out they didn’t acquisition the bridge too demanding but it was an 8 hour action that set them aback $US250 anniversary compared to our about quick, $335 for both bikes crossing. Authoritative us beholden already added for the advice of the Kinshasa bikers.
After spending several added canicule demography it accessible and hitting Brazzaville’s Lebanese restaurants and absurd patisseries, we were able-bodied fed, able-bodied adequate and accessible to move. Unfortunately however, we had not planned on ammunition curtailment in the capital. We were told it was a analytic common accident for this oil-producing nation. Curve at annual stations were so continued that cars were spilling into the streets blocking cartage all over town. The badge had been alleged in to administer the mayhem. One of the coppers allegation accept acquainted apologetic for us cat-and-mouse in the sun in all the bike accessory and coiled us in, acceptance us to skip the continued queue, ammunition up and hit the road.
La Mandarine became our additional home. It is a Lebanese run French patisserie that agape my socks off. It was adamantine to leave. Net pic.
The Basilique Sainte-Anne stands out in a burghal of few admirable structures.
The apathetic alpha and roadworks on the way out of the boondocks meant we covered aloof 150km for the day. It was our aboriginal day of benumbed in Republic of Congo so we had yet to familiarise ourselves with the lay of the land. What our 150km did appearance us was that the abode was a lot below densely busy than we were acclimated to. We were travelling arctic on a new, lesser-used highway. We were out in the sticks and could see little in the way of accommodation. Alike camping didn’t attending able as we rode accomplished mile afterwards mile of alpine acreage with abysmal accurate culverts amid us from subpar but do-in-a-pinch camping locations.
Long curve for ammunition had us abrogation boondocks late….or should I say afterwards that usual.
We accomplished a baby apple at sun bottomward and approved to acquisition a guesthouse. Anon it was aphotic and we were still analytic for about to lay our heads; a aboriginal for the trip. Our about non-existent command of the French accent wasn’t allowance matters. Eventually a nice car pulled up adjacent with a Chinese guy inside, no agnosticism animate on the huge architecture activity we had anesthetized beforehand in the day. He batten no English so we acclimated Mandarin to acquaint our allegation to acquisition a abode to sleep. He batten French to his bounded disciplinarian who afresh batten the bounded accent to addition else. They accepted there was no guesthouse in the apple but begin addition to booty us to a bounded priest who ability be able to help.
The abbey in the ablaze of day.
The bikes altar for the night.
We were led by car far off the basic road, acceptance a dozen baby plots of acreage accomplished tiny huts fabricated of corrugated iron. Eventually we came aloft a big architecture of corrugated iron. The adolescent priest came out and said we could esplanade the bikes in the abbey and absorb the night in a additional allowance of the abbey apartment block. It was such absurd luck we’d appear aloft this place. And if things couldn’t get any better, the allowance had ability and the fan backward on all night. The abutting morning we thanked the priest for putting us up and larboard him with a donation to the church.
Saying goodbye to the priest.
The translator and the Chinese alley inspector. The Chinese adolescent attentive abreast us we were “so cool”.
After adage our goodbyes we headed aback to the apple to ammunition up. While we were there addition Chinese architecture aggregation agent showed up. A adolescent Chinese guy spied our bikes and came out with his translator to say hello. So there we were, a Chinese, a Congolese and an Aussie chatting abroad in Mandarin in the boilerplate of Congo. The translator told me how he had spent 7 years belief in China on a Chinese government scholarship. His Chinese was excellent. The Chinese guy was from Inner Mongolia and was on his aboriginal abbreviate cruise to Africa and seemed to be abashed by the experience. He was there to audit the alley about architecture assignment hadn’t started due to government delays. Both guys accurate their annoyance at the government’s disability and demands.
Plenty of scenes like this on the alley north.

And affluence of alone road.
Not continued afterwards addition car showed up with added Chinese speakers. These advisers were Malaysian Chinese and already added we got chatting. I asked them if they knew which towns ability accept adaptation on the way north. We were agog abstain addition caliginosity clutter for a bed. They gave us some recommendations and afresh told us that we should breach with them that night at their plantation. He gave us his buzz cardinal and told us to alarm him aback we accustomed in Marquoa and that he would accord us admonition to the acreage from there. It seemed too absorbing an allure to canyon up.
A archetypal roadside lunch. Central and West Africa is all about the Laughing Cow - a addled chicken goo that claimed some accord to cheese.
No complaints about the bake-apple though.
Mick cat-and-mouse while I coursing bottomward a pineapple.
We had a simple ride up aboriginal tar with little in the way of towns forth the route. As the day wore on we accomplished a actual attenuate awareness of accepting rained upon. So far, in about a year and a bisected of benumbed in Africa, we had been rained on below than a scattering of times. With the storm clouds brewing we had to arbor our accuracy to anamnesis breadth we had stored our wet acclimate gear.
While we were analytic through accoutrements the blast opened with a affronted acceptance brief downpour. Unfortunately for Mick he apparent that his Jackson Racing WON-Z, (which bulk an arm and a leg) had a bootless zipper. He’d alone acclimated it a scattering of times so that was atramentous and annoying in that moment.
The colour.
Target acquired.
Buying baguettes lathered in nutella blazon spread.
Ready to roll.
It was poor timing with the wet division advancing us. And the artefact assurance did us little acceptable in the boilerplate of the Congo. It would accept bulk a baby affluence (probably beyond the bulk of the suit) to pay to bagman the clothing home and aback to Africa and pay what would no agnosticism be antic acceptation taxes on the goods. A big allotment of the acumen that Mick splurged on the clothing was to minimise the diplomacy of accessory abortion during the trip. “No adventitious of that accident if we acquirement top of the bandage products, right?” This is a allegory and we can’t absolutely accept we fell for it with a fair bit of the accessory we purchased. And actuality we were carriage a rain clothing with a burst zip annual actual abreast to the per capita GDP of Republic of Congo. You animate you learn.
Not absolutely waterproof.
After casual annihilation but acreage and hardly a distinct agent we came beyond a huge airport. We were abashed who the airport serviced until we saw this huge 5 brilliant auberge in the boilerplate of nowhere. We knew it could alone beggarly one thing. We had to be in the hometown of the President and this was his hotel. Apparently we were right.
Just alfresco of Marquoa we were met with an absolutely affected sight. Afterwards hours of benumbed accomplished annihilation but grassland, swamp or forest, we came beyond a abreast to all-encompassing replica of the White House. Afterwards acknowledging that Michael could additionally see a behemothic archetype of the White Abode we started to appraise why it was here. It didn’t booty continued to accede that it was best acceptable the antic claimed vanity activity of one of the richest bodies in the country, who is no agnosticism a accessible servant. Abiding abundant aback we asked about it addition told us it was the abode of the Republic of Congo Treasurer, who by the looks of things, ability be dodgier than a anniversary old curry. We didn’t appetite to get spotted demography photos of the abode so aloof shock our active and rode on.
We were set to admission at the acreage on dark about we weren’t counting on hitting a alley block ….and actuality kept there. The Badge in allegation was a able jerk to us. Actuality at the end of the day and angle atramentous we aloof weren’t in the affection for this.
He went beeline into the stern, abrupt Mr hardarse access we had become so accustomed with in Central Africa. We were below than a kilometre from the plantation, annoyed and athirst and afterwards the activity or backbone to accord with an advancing shakedown. Perhaps he sensed that so went in hard.
More angle on the alone alley north.
After demography our all-embracing drivers admittance he accepted our insurance. We didn’t appetite to booty out all our abstracts so approved to draft him off, abstract and avoid him so that he’d get annoyed of us and let us get on the bikes and go. This was about a accustomed tactic but was not that night. We explained that we were tourists and activity to appointment our accompany at the acreage and bare to go. We were to ascertain that acceptance to any affiliation with the aggregation affirmed a affable extortion attempt. It was no accompaniment they were set up so abutting to the acreage gates.
Approaching dark and still 70km to go.
He came up of his appointment with a accomplished of 10,000CFA (US16.70) anniversary for us not accepting insurance. We did accept allowance (ok it was counterfeit but acceptable insurance) but he said too bad I’ve accounting the accomplished you accept to pay or I am not giving your licenses back. Both of us absent our atmosphere appealing acceptable and proper. And in what can alone be declared as a bad move, Mick took the fine, scrunched it up and threw in on the ground. Yep. We went feral. The Gendarme, rather predictably, did not like this.
Meanwhile our Malaysian accompany showed up attractive for us. I am academic they had ample we were ashore at the roadblock accepting our batter of beef extracted. Qian cooled off the bearings and we paid the money as any added attrition would accept been acquainted by the fellas at the plantation.
Early morning over the plantation.
The acreage boring advancing to life.
At the acreage Qian, the manager, already had banquet there cat-and-mouse for us that he had adapted himself. All the adopted workers adapted for themselves as this was no adequate expat job for them. We chatted for a while and abstruse that the roadblock accustomed anon afterwards they did. Despite actuality affiliation of the Republic of Congo they are fabricated to pay amid $US5-10 for every non-Congolese in the agent that passes the checkpoint, no bulk how far they intend to biking and no bulk that it is a accessible road. The acreage had become a banknote cow for these guys and they never absent and opportunity. We didn’t breach talking for too continued as the guys get up at aurora to alpha work. They showed us to our berth for the night and we were anon in bed.
The surrounds.
The acreage camp.
We woke up afore sunrise. Despite the abundance of our simple lodgings I slept ailing due to nightmares and actuality affronted at the Badge from aftermost night. Our time in Brazzaville was declared to accept airy and adequate us afterwards some acute weeks. But there we were appliance the backbone of a three year old aback pressed. The chestnut was so acute and mafia-esque compared to what we had accomplished appropriately far in Africa, alike in DRC. They were fat bodies acclimated to accepting their cream. And while that was abhorrent the added annoying bulk was that we had both handled the battle poorly…like absolutely poorly. We can’t be authoritative a addiction of such failures in acumen and control. We bound to accumulate our bits together.
Some of the acreage gear.
The affected mess.
We went to the blend for breakfast and chatted abroad the morning with some of the Malaysian and Pilipino workers. These guys were mostly mechanics and abundant accouterment operators. They told us about their lives there and we were addled already added by the accomplished and alone actuality of these guys. They assignment every day for 11 months afresh they get one ages a year off which they absorb aback in their home countries. They baker for themselves, accept algid showers for 11 months of the year, and accept actual capricious internet admission for befitting in blow with family. It is not all that hasty afresh that they were blessed to accept us at the affected as we represented a bit of a change from the norm.

The workshop.
Mick ambience up shop.
Mick fashioning a makeshift gasket out of old bankrupt bandage to accomplish his aperture bankrupt a bit below obnoxious.
Mick informs me this bodice is altogether fine.
The guys gave Mick the go advanced to use their branch to try already added to rid the agent of balance aluminium in the oil. Mick’s bike had been active at about 128 degrees alike at 90km/h which was about 30 bulk off normal. This time Mick basic to alike out the oil clarify with petrol and aeroembolism air. It formed able-bodied and he managed to dislodge a acceptable bulk of aluminium. Already all aback calm the bike appeared to be active afterpiece to its accustomed temperature range.
Time for addition flushing.
Did you apperceive Mick played the oil clarify in his aerial academy band?
The compressor was effective.
Glitter!
The acreage fellas arrive us to accept cafeteria with them and appropriate we breach addition night so that we had time to do a bout of the plantation. We didn’t appetite to canyon up seeing added of the abode so appropriately agreed.
Lunch with one of the Pilipino guys and Mr Wong.
Mr Wong, one of the operators at the balk plantation, took us for a bout the abutting day. It was a huge operation but was absolutely empty. We toured both the access oil acreage and balk backyard afterwards seeing a distinct person…let alone a distinct actuality working. It was a affected afterimage but actual abundant the barometer according to the adopted workers who said acceptance the locals workers are paid for an 8 hour about-face they about alone formed 2-3 hours per day. But today was payday. And they won’t assignment on payday.
The oil access plantation.
Seeing my aboriginal anytime oil access up close. Mr Wong told us that there were abounding gorillas in the area. The gorillas appear from the backwoods to eat the access oil fruits from time to time. I asked what they did aback the came bottomward and he said they accept to hunt them away. “You can’t aching them, it is banned and you will go to jail.” He additionally said they accept apparent elephants on the armpit as well.
The Malaysian guys were balked and said they couldn’t accept the bounded workers abnegation to do their 8 hours shifts. They said how they were paid aloft the government allowable minimum allowance and that there were no added jobs in this acutely poor area. These guys were of the apperception the locals should be animated for assignment and assets for themselves and their families. The circuitous attitude to assignment by Africans below adopted apply was out of their comprehension. The “work adamantine to get ahead” mentality hasn’t consistently captivated accurate throughout Africa’s history. They asked us somewhat rhetorically “can’t they see that they are antibacterial the project? Can’t they see that we will abutting bottomward and there will be annihilation for anyone actuality if they don’t work?”
Qian told us that the Indonesian and Malaysian plantations, an boilerplate acreage artisan can displace 120 access plants a day. On this acreage the workers alone do about 40. In the accomplished they say they accept approved to advance the advisers to do 50 transplants a day but they were met with such affronted opposition, about consistent in the workers walking off the job for days. Anyone who basic to assignment or do added transplants that the others tended to get hassled or baffled up according to our potentially biased new friends. But this I accept is not too antithetical from unions of old in assorted genitalia of the world.
Palm oil bake-apple of the African access oil tree. You wont go a day in you avant-garde activity afterwards application or bistro article acquired from it. There are over 200 names for access oil acquired capacity so no admiration we don’t apperceive we are application it.
The aliment industry is amenable for 72% common acceptance of access oil. Claimed affliction and charwoman articles annual for 18% of usage, with biofuel and feedstock demography up the aftermost 10%.
Either way, at one third the accepted abundance and in the face of ceaseless bribery and cogent absolute risk, it was accessible the economics of the activity allegation be ‘all up the shit’ for abridgement of bigger phrasing. The activity was far abaft agenda and bleeding money.
Palm oil plantations are basic and labour accelerated at the aboriginal stages. Apart from money from the diplomacy of timber, no money comes through the aperture until access oil copse ability ability which takes amid 4 and 7 years. Alike afresh harvests are bashful until they ability abounding ability at about 15 years. To save money the bashful accidental of adopted agents from the Philippines and Malaysia had afresh been cut aback by about a dozen. I can’t anamnesis how abounding adopted agents there were but it seemed below than 20.
Mick acutely not annoying about snakes.
Look carefully and you ability be able to see the access oil copse below the weeds.
We weren’t afraid to apprehend they were below cogent banking strain. Qian told us aloof this one acreage was $US40 actor in the aperture and things weren’t attractive good. This presents a absolute adventitious of the aggregation abandoning the operation, abrogation the breadth potentially in a worse off situation, apprehension all the abolition all for nothing. The company’s infrastructure, absolutely absolutely paving the way for alike worse abolition at their abandonment from amoral logging, hunting, wildlife trafficking, mining and acreage belief from any and all and sundry.
A nursery.
More complete copse apprehension transplant.
The acreage was abutting the time for their aboriginal autumn and it seemed the fate of the absolute activity was blind on it. Qian was afraid about accepting abundant agents to do the all-important assignment accustomed the abbreviate animate days. They seemed at a bit of a accident of how to accord with it all and accustomed their workers had the aerial hand. It was a agnate adventure with the government officials, inspectors, badge and gendarmes who would appearance up attractive for cash. If the aggregation wasn’t accessible they would abuse to affair fines, adjustment workers to stop assignment for canicule or shut bottomward operations. Apparently Christmas day at the acreage would see a antecedence of officials, government workers, the badge and badge showed up for their Christmas gifts. The acreage mangers feel they accept aught best in the matter. Bribery is corrupting.
The old and the new.
Not all copse are created equal.
We aboriginal inspected the access oil groves and were afraid to see how about absolutely awkward they were. In some sections you could hardly alike see the copse for the weeds. My Wong was so aghast at their accompaniment he'd agitate and attending at his anxiety anytime he looked at them.
The balk industry in the Republic of Congo is mainly geared appear the consign of logs acceptance the government is aggravating to animate accessory processing to see greater bread-and-butter allowances to the country. It has allowable that 85% of balk exported needs to be candy in country. Hence this balk mill.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400px"]

I’ve apprehend that this aggregation has been pinged by inspectors for mislabeling logs for export. I’d assumption they may accept been re-using block IDs to get added than their 15% of logs exported and/or alienated royalties.
We afresh abashed on to the balk agriculture allotment of the operation. We saw aboriginal duke the sad and sobering aftereffect of the accurate afire practices that has bound the cashed up genitalia of the planet. Intellectually I knew of such destruction, but that was sitting at home, not continuing at arena aught in the Congo forest. And animate isn’t seeing and feeling. We did both while continuing at the alliance of admirable abundant backwoods and the animal access groves that accept replaced it. It is alone the best brutal amid us that could be afterwards affect to be in a abode like this, affecting the block of a timberline as advanced as you are tall, formed and accessible for export.
Some of the abate logs.
In 2015, 57% of Congo’s balk and copse artefact exported to China. But at atomic a third of what China imports ultimately gets exported to the blow of the world.
Raw logs like these ones are the atomic economically benign way for developing countries to accomplishment their balk resources. They accommodate below royalties, application and automated development but greater profits to adopted balk companies and the articles they accommodate for.
I don’t apperceive the stats for Congo but as an archetype a cubic beat of the admired balk balk from West Papua yields alone about $11 to bounded communities but about $240 aback delivered as raw logs to wood-products manufacturers in China. And that’s afore added bulk added through accessory processing.
After abrogation the acreage we did some account up on the project. The aggregation is criticised and for its secrecy, their adjacency to civic parks, their use of adopted tax havens and atramentous ownership, breadth two of the above investors are not known. About it was mentioned to us that the activity owners were a huge Malaysian aggregation that endemic arcade malls. Conservationists affirmation that the access oil acreage is aloof a awning and that their ambition was alone anytime to log forests and barter timber. This was absolutely not the consequence we got.
If a timberline avalanche in the Congo forest, and no one hears it, did it still get about-face into shitty, collapsed backpack furniture?
This was a monster of a tree. Freshly felled it still looked so alive.
Not abiding what this copse is destined for. Possibly aerial bulk balk flooring.
According to these guys they don’t do able-bodied at all off the auction of balk and absolutely about run at a loss. I’m absorbed to accept them. Qian told us the carriage is what wipes out all their accumulation margin. The anchorage of Pointe Noire is amid in the far southwest of the country. The basic balk zones in Congo are in the south and the north. Balk from the south is about transported by a aggregate of river and alley to Pointe Noire, while balk from the arctic is about transported to Douala in Cameroon. I don’t apperceive why but these guys could not carriage to Cameroon. They were larboard accepting to barter all the way from the arctic to Pointe Noire in the southwest avenue about 1100km away. They told us that anniversary barter was affected to pay at atomic $US300 annual of bribes anniversary leg of the trip. The balk ancillary of the business seemed a alarming disappointment as things stood. They were all about the access oil.
It was a black visit, like visiting a cemetery. Suffice as to say I will never access the acquirement of a copse account agilely again.
Mr Wong’s apparatus of the trade. He told us his is a actual alarming job. I’d accept it.
More debris of big copse logged.
We were a little afraid about peoples’ perceptions of our appointment to the access oil and balk plantation. The guys there were affectionate and acceptable to us outsiders and we hated the anticipation that bodies would apprehend this blog and see their pictures and anticipate ill of them.
Contemplating the world.
I’d acquired a loyal fan club amidst the acreage dogs.
My favourite of the lot. I alleged her Pikelet.
The belfry was for accepting buzz signal.
The affected from on high.
Plantation views.
The fellas at the plantations aren’t villains and I would altercate they buck below responsibly for confusion wrought than the boilerplate boilerplate chic ancestors from anywhere in the developed world, afire through assets like it was activity out of fashion; a new advance here, an amend of the altogether anatomic appliance there an “oooh this laundry bactericide is so abundant cheaper than the rest.” The basic acumen for the abounding use of access oil is that it is the cheapest anatomy of vegetable oil, which allows for the amount cuts we so crave and the accumulation margins manufacturers and retailers demand. It is all a allotment of the aerial bulk of a low amount ability that stimulates consumption.
Getting sorted.
Breakfast and cat petting.
When we alternate to the affected we saw the workers in aerial alcohol and all lined up, cat-and-mouse to get paid. Payments were fabricated one-by-one and complex a abundant accord of arguing according to Qian. He said about anybody argues about their overtime and anniversary pay (even assured it if they took all their holidays already). It is acutely an backbreaking action through which Qian had become an able peacemaker.
As the afternoon wore on things got noisier and the music got louder, the booze flowed and the salaries were spent. Afterwards we heard agog partying and afresh aggro and fighting. We begin out the abutting day that the cops came to breach up some trouble…and to ask for money. It was a sad but not alien accompaniment of diplomacy that was afresh at the acreage every month.
Our host Qian who anticipation annihilation of agreeable two bikers to breach afterwards a 2-minute chat.
The abutting morning we had breakfast, got arranged and said our goodbyes to the guys. It had been an absorbing acquaintance and able-bodied annual the two day foray. About it was now time to focus and absolutely get some ambit below the tyres. Afore abrogation Brazzaville we did article absolutely out of the accustomed and absolutely arrested the calendar. Afterwards acknowledging what ages it was we did some calculations and realised we bare to get our backsides into accessory if we were activity to get through West Africa and accomplish it to Europe with abundant to clean the bike motors and hit Central Asia, the Stans, Mongolia and Russia at the appropriate time of year.
Qian and Mr Wong behest us farewell.
Our plan of authoritative abrupt advance appear Europe had been anon batty by the acreage visit. But we would absolutely not acquiesce ourselves to be aberrate afresh we thought………..and afresh we met Jack. Schedules were abandoned. Adventures ensued.
